Michael Moore: We Have to ‘Put Our Bodies on the Line’ to Stop Trump
Daily Beast ^ | June 29, 2018 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 06/29/2018 6:44:34 AM PDT by EdnaMode

In 2004, Michael Moore released his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 about the run-up to the Iraq War. This September, he will premiere his latest film: Fahrenheit 11/9.

As the liberal filmmaker told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Thursday night, that date represents the night Donald Trump was elected president. “This is about how the hell we got in this situation and how we’re going to get out of it,” he said.

After playing a clip from the film in which he tries to infiltrate Mar-a-Lago, Colbert asked him if he was “civil” to the people there. “I was as civil as any Eagle Scout Catholic altar boy could be when confronted with the devil,” Moore answered.

Speaking to the great civility debate happening in America right now, Moore continued, saying that Democrats have traditionally been “so wimpy and weak” but now “a few people want to stand up and say, I’ve had enough, that’s it.”

“We don’t have to be violent, we have to remain non-violent, but if the worst that happens to anybody in the Trump administration is that they don’t get to have a chicken dinner in Virginia, I mean, I don’t know,” he said. If it were just basic political differences, Moore said he would not be in favor of throwing Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of a restaurant.

“But that’s not what’s going on now,” he said. “We’re not talking about political differences. We’re talking about thousands of children being kidnapped and put in jails.”

Given how divided the nation seems to be at this moment, Colbert wondered what kind of “endgame” Moore had in mind. “Because you don’t want to end this in violence or any sort of really revolutionary confrontation, you want a political change at the end of this,” he assumed.

Michael Moore is one of the biggest hypocrites and liars in America (and that's saying something).

Fat Mikey is going to need a really, really wide line or did he mean chalk lines that outline their bodies.

Well, that’s one area where we have to admit that Michael Moore could do the work of three or four typical men.

I’ve watched these bullies pretend to lead mob action, only to watch them melt into the background when things get hot.

“We’re not talking about political differences. We’re talking about thousands of children being kidnapped and put in jails.”

1) We're talking about law enforcement. I think Democrats oppose law enforcement.
2) It would be difficult to "kidnap" the children if they stayed in Mexico.
3) We don't want to put people in jails. We want them out of the country.

His body would stop traffic in five states. Instead of calling on others he should set an example

Suuure he’s talking non-violence. And it won’t be HIS body on the front line.

Back to the “Roger and Me” shtick.

How original.

Oh he and his Hollywood buddies are just salivating for violence, as long as they can look on from the sidelines and cheerlead. Oh, and film it. Probably get an Oscar out of some good gory stuff.

And we must all study how to deal with psychotics

Treating them as celebrities and their comments as anything more than idiocy is not acceptable
