Hit Michael Moore where it hurts!
Inside Edition ^ | 3/25/03 | Eye4nEye

Posted on 03/25/2003 5:41:25 PM PST by Eye4nEye

There was a piece on Inside Edition tonight on Michael Moore:

A day after his controversial Academy Awards appearance, filmmaker Michael Moore was caught by an Inside Edition camera crew at Los Angeles International Airport showing off his Oscar and asking surprised passers-by if they were angry with him.

Catching a flight to Detroit, Moore told Inside Edition that the booing heard after he launched into his speech was orchestrated by a group in the balcony at the Kodak Theater. He said that most of the booing was from "people supporting me who started booing the booers."

"Look at the tape, find people on the whole main floor, find one person booing up in the balcony there was an orchestrated group of people that started it immediately and then everybody else started booing them to get them to shut up to let me speak", Moore said.

Asked if he had any regrets, Moore told Inside Edition, "Are you kidding? My only regret is that George W. Bush stole our White House... I care that the millions of people like me who didn't vote for George W. Bush got a voice."

Moore asked surprised LAX bystanders if they were angry at his anti-war speech Sunday. "Anybody here upset at me?" he called out to a group of laughing people at the airport.

Moore appeared to be in a good mood, letting people hold his Oscar at LAX, signing autographs and jokingly brandishing the statue as he got in the security line: "It looks like a weapon of mass instruction" he said.

He also told Inside Edition the Oscars were an appropriate place to voice his political views: "I make personal political documentaries... that's what I do for a living."

Micheal Moore's book Stupid White Men is currently number 2 on the New York Times best seller list. The commentator in the Inside Edition story wondered whether his recent behavior was going to hurt his book sales.

One way to really hurt him is to go to his house and hide his food

I saw a raunchy Photoshopped picture of Moore this week.

Entitled "Michael Moore Speaks," his mouth had been replaced with a picture of a distended anus.

Raunchy, yes, but not far from the truth.

So... the majority of the booing came from the supporting booers to get the other booers to stop?

Riiight.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Michael.

He could be tricked into a long prison term by simply tossing a Twinkie in a jail cell within his sight!

Get him to go down and entertain some prisoners and maybe we can try it.

When he said "an orchestrated group of people" I thought maybe some Freepers were in attendance!

Moore would deny he even exists if it would get him attention. Must be the other kids didn't play with him much when he was little.

"So what did you think of the boos last night, Michael?"

"Oh, it was great! I got totally s***faced and I didn't even have to pay for it!"

Gads. These must be the same people who shake O.J.'s hand.

Talk about someone who is living in a ficticious world -

He said that most of the booing was from "people supporting me who started booing the booers."

Stupid White Men by Michael Moore - Autobiographical??

I read this as Michael Moore being worried about those boos. He's worried about what he did. He must have been pretty surprised that it happenend. After all this guy lives in his own little world. Just about everybody who knows about it or saw it believes he was booed by a substantial group of people. There's really no way he can change that perception.

I meant it is a good idea to buy 3,4, and 5. We were discussing what could be done to show our displeasure with Moore.

Only don't buy them from Amazon, a company that defended selling a book lobbying for the legalization of pedophelia. I'd go to Barnes & Noble, or any of a number of other booksellers. You can find great deals through bookfinder.com.

I have both, the second he shows up on either or both, their gone. As it is, Satellite is becoming useless to me outside Fox News (there's no Oz, No Farscape, Soprano's is over soon; America Undercover seems to be a bunch of repeats..). Only saving grace is the Science Channel. Discovery Wings is pretty cool too...But I digress..
