Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore has called for an economic boycott of the state of Georgia to protest Wednesday's execution of Troy Davis, the Savannah man convicted of murdering an off-duty police officer in 1989.

"I encourage everyone I know to never travel to Georgia, never buy anything made in Georgia, to never do business in Georgia," Moore wrote on his website in a blog item posted a few hours after Davis' death.

This might just encourage other states to execute more killers.

Not the kinda guy you’d leave your young children with... creepy!

"I encourage everyone I know to never travel to Georgia, never buy anything made in Georgia, to never do business in Georgia," Moore wrote on his website in a blog item posted a few hours after Davis' death.

We have the death penalty in Florida too - when we put a killer to death will Mooore do us the honor of asking his liberal friends to stay away?

[Brilliant]

Isn’t Michael Moore boycotting every State?

[IMTOFT]

Peaches?

[4rcane]

Will he advocate boycotting China?

[fatnotlazy]

I’ll just continue to boycott Moore.

Georgia cranks out quite a bit of produce and dairy products. Umm, Mike, you wouldn't want to go hungry, would ya?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

What about all of those unemployed African-Americans in Atlanta, Mikey??????

RACIST!!!!!

I had my labor day Dragoncon weekend trip to GA. It was fun.

Photos are here of assorted stuff:

I am glad I could contribute to the GA economy.

There is also a little gas station outside Buckhead on I20 that makes some fairly good fast fried stuff.

Oh yes, liberals - please do us a favor here in Georgia and boycott our state. Great idea, fat Mike!!!

I thought his fat arse, nondescript, POS went to a food addiction clinic a while back ... if so, it didn’t take. Still a fat arse, fat mouth POS, that few, if any, listen to. IMHO

Fat Mike should have offered to take his place.

Georgia would have needed buckets of sodium thiopental.

hmm.... makes me wonder if he pays ‘his fair share’....

[CurlyBill]

Why is he not calling for a boycott of Texas for the execution of Lawrence Russell Brewer? Why was there no protest of his execution? Why was there no coverage of this? Brewer deserved execution... but we on the right are consistent, while the left is selective in their condemnation for reasons that are apparent when you look a little deeper.

General, I say... do... your duty!

That pic really shows off Moore's pudgy hands and sausage fingers. All those Hot Pockets are showing, Mickey.

[Yankee]

"Peaches?"

Nope. Not even among top 5.

1 Cotton
2 Peanuts
3 Garden/Nursery Plants
4 Onions
5 Tobacco

[tsowellfan]

Why not boycott Texas too Michael?

[Zarro]

But where is he going to park his books to gather dust?
