Michael Moore: Killing Is ‘Who We Are’ As Americans By Patrick Burke December 17, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – Liberal activist-filmmaker Michael Moore says school shootings like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. will continue – because “it’s who we are” as Americans.

“I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America w/ genocide, then built it w/ slaves. The shootings will continue- it's who we are,” Moore tweeted on Sunday.

Moore sent out several tweets regarding the school shooting between Friday and Sunday, at one point claiming the shooter “seemed to single out women to kill.”

“As is often the case in these shootings, the gunman seemed to single out the women to kill (CNN: 18 of the dead are female; 8 males)” Moore tweeted.

“Ooooh. Some men didn't like that last tweet,” Moore tweeted later. “So let me give u another: When's the last time u saw a woman walk in & spray a place w/ bullets?”

I figure Fatso would “weigh in” on this at some point.

Put another way. If the Leftist slob had been on the Titanic, would he have been one of the American men, who helped the women & children into the life-boats, before going down with the ship?

Classic. Compare and contrast the Titanic versus the Costa Concordia. Moore would have been like Captain Schettino, abandoning ship and pushing women & children aside in the process.

Why post MM tweets, that’s what he wants, better to just ignore him.

She’s an extremely lefty prof from Harvard. They couldn’t stand her, there, and transferred her to U of Alabama, or something. The Alabamans failed to promote her, so she burst upon a faculty meeting with a loaded glock and killed 10 or so people.

She was really mad.

As an adolescent she’d killed her brother with a shotgun (mad that time, also), but her mother worked for the cops, and personally and physically extricated her from police questioning at the station —did you know that was possible. It is for rich & important people, apparently.

She got the charges dropped, too.

Conservatives need to point out that gun control, like so many other socialist schemes, is an old, failed idea, and that leftists who call for gun control are *literally* “reactionaries”.

Yes, Michael Moore is a reactionary. So is Ed Schultz at MSNBC, a reactionary. So is mayor Bloomberg, he is also a reactionary. Reactionaries all.

Progressivism was a movement of the late 19th Century. Those who still follow that religion are pushing ideas as antiquated as Karl Marx’ ideas about industrial production based on the Victorian standard of weight as the only measure.

Their minds are calcified and stuck in the past with ideas that failed then, and would fail now. So it is important to let these philosophically senile people know that they live in the past.

And no, we “conservative kids” will NOT “get off their lawn”.

He would probably have been shoving everyone out of his way on the way to the lifeboat - which would sink as soon as his fat ass climbed into it.

At the risk of unintentional offense, can we not have anymore quotes from this no-talent, blow hard, fat a**?

From the very first murder committed by Cain against his brother Able, violence has existed among humankind. Evil exists in this WORLD, and blaming violence as being endemic only to Americans is stupid. Moore should shut his fat @ss mouth and eat a few dozen more cheeseburgers.

The only thing I need to hear about Michael Moore is that a poster has given him the Eglon treatment and needs a donation to his legal fund.

Confession is good for the soul fat boy. Who have you killed or who are you planning to kill? After all, it’s who we are, so you can share.

OK, I dimly remember the shooting at the faculty meeting now, but I forget its name.

Didn’t know she blew away her brother, neither did I know that Mumsy and Daduh got her off the hook for it.

Just saw a news item where Quentin Tarentino states “don’t blame me for violence”.

FWIW.

April 1996 at Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. One, a Michael Bryant went on a rampage, shooting dead 35 people and wounding 23, This was all adults male and female except for two children who where 3yrs and six years old. His lawyer said that the Scottish Dunblane killings of 16 school children inspired his method, this was a month previously to his murders.

To date he is still held in prison and kept fairly well separated as the prisoners are said to have threatened to kill him. He was a loser type. Although I do follow the news, somehow I did not hear or see anything of this on the MSM America and Canada, at the time.

Moore has long ceased to be relevant. He could preach to the Aussies though.

First, he does seem right that most all of the mass murderers are male. There may be female mass murders, but mostly they are males.

Second, Americans are obsessed with death. Canada has a lot of guns, but they don’t have nearly the murder rate we have. Maybe it is a subset of americans, but as a whole, Americans do murder at a high rate for a civilized country.

Of course, most 3rd-world countries have a much worse murder rate, but I’m not thinking we want to compare ourselves that way.

We have a culture of violence and a lack of respect for life, and I think we need to fix that. Michael Moore is probably clueless as to how to fix the problem, but I think he is at least tangentially right — over the past 40 years, our culture has become more violent in this respect, even as many crime rates drop simply because of the fear of getting captured.

The vast majority of us haven’t killed anybody. Moore just likes to condemn America. He thinks it makes him sound clever.

Maybe someone should tweet Moore back with that.
