Oh my. Was that too harsh?
To: vbmoneyspender
If so, maybe Moore is confusing the average Republican voter with the average senior Democratic member of the United States Senate. Or Jesse Jackson.

Fat Man offers up Straw Men ... then, undoubtedly, EATS THEM... this is what passes for intellect and wit on the far Left?!?!?!
To: WorkingClassFilth
Like most people in this country, I am a conservationist precisely because I am conservative. Exactly... Republicans are conservationists, Democrats are environmental wackos.

Gawd, 2 real nasty moore threads in 1 day. Hard to take.
But here he speaks as a classic communist idealogue. It's fine for the little people to be broke, but the Big Thinkers such as himself are the absolute rulers.
He deserves all his wealth, after all he makes books/movies about the evil 'rich' now. So it's all good to him.
Of course, he's the most evil type of rich, but that'll never ever enter his mind.

3. Journey into the mind of the conservative. What you will encounter is fear. Fear of crime. Should I welcome crime!?
Fear of enemies.
Errrr ... yeah!
Fear of change.
School choice, flat tax, privatization of Social Security and Medicare ... WHO fears change, Fat Boy?
Fear of people not exactly like them.
If I feared everyone who was not a libertarian-conservative-beer swilling-cigar smoking-hockey playing-Italian-Catholic-classic TV loving-cat cuddling-long haired-metalhead I'd spend my entire life alone ...
And, of course, fear of losing any money on anything.
I have no clever quip for this that can add to the inanity of the "point".
To: Billthedrill
Good post, except for the end:
"I know you meant well"
I don't think he means well.
"Because it's just too much fun..."
I don't think it's fun, it just pays him well.

You make excellent points. Of course, trying to argue point-by-point with Moore is like trying to catch all the water from a lawn sprinkler. He's more scattershot than Elmer Fudd on LSD at a rabbit farm.

Sounds a lot like Satan trying to tempt Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

Oh my. Was that too harsh? No, my friend, it was right on target. I'm not usually one to support bitter politics, but Moore should get it often and harsh! He is a phony. "Bowling for Columbine" was a complete farce, staged, and deceitful. How does Hollywood reward his "documentary"? They give him an Oscar....
