Hey, Mikey...this one's for you!

Americans currently flocking to see Michael Moore's movie "Farenheit 9/11" might be surprised to learn how little respect the Democratic Party's leading propaganda-meister has for them.''They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet," Moore told Britain's Mirror newspaper recently, referring to his fellow citizens as a whole. And that's not all Moore had to say about his brother Yanks across the pond. ''We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.''
Turns out, when the Democratic Party's all-but-official filmmaker is speaking at home, he has nice things to say about at least some of his fellow citizens. But according to New York Times columnist David Brooks, when Moore travels abroad it's not just the Bush administration he trashes - but the American people en-masse.
Here's a few more bon mots from the Kerry campaign's leading celluloid supporter, as cited by Mr. Brooks on Saturday:
''That's why we're smiling all the time,'' Moore told a rapturous throng in Munich. ''You can see us coming down the street. You know, 'Hey! Hi! How's it going?' We've got that big [expletive] grin on our face all the time because our brains aren't loaded down.''
To a crowd in Cambridge, Moore intoned: ''You're stuck with being connected to this country of mine, which is known for bringing sadness and misery to places around the globe.''
Here's Moore's reaction to the 9/11 attacks, offered while the rubble at Ground Zero was still smoldering: ''We, the United States of America, are culpable in committing so many acts of terror and bloodshed that we had better get a clue about the culture of violence in which we have been active participants.''
As for the terrorists currently killing American soldiers in Iraq, Moore compares them to Revolutionary war heroes who fought off British oppression:
''The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win.''
Thanks for posting that. Better provide the link?
And Moore has the biggest cowbell in the herd.
Agree, Moore assumes he is the lambs bell leading the unwashed sheeple to his righteous indignation. Only Moore see's all, knows all, by golly he's the modern self appointed Moses here to guide us mere mortals. Gag
Only the ones who enshrine you, Oliver Stone, and Slick Willie in their pantheon of credible heroes.
Until the democrats get beyond the hate america, blame america rhetoric, they are going to alienate more and more thoughtful voters.
Our poverty level is on par with European middle class.
Yes, let's all become "smart" and allow elitist governments to tell us what to do and how to do it. That's the "smart" thing to do.. We're all "stupid" for wanting to live our lives as we choose.
I'm sorry Mr. Moore, those are fighting words.
Hey, Mikey...this one's for you!

This dumba** guy is one wide-load sick puppy!
Michael Moore is sick in the head, like Glenn Beck put it a little while ago, I look for this guy to explode at some point.
I pray for the day when we declare war, and throw Moore in jail for sedition.
From DAVID BROOKS’ article:
“Until then, few social observers had made the connection between Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Paul Revere.”
“In Washington, a Senate vote was delayed because so many Democrats wanted to see his movie.”
Unbelievable!
PJ O'Rourke was on last night. "We don't want to know what's going on in the rest of the world. We came here to get away
from those people...."
You are certainly one of them Michael....
Michael Moore is just jealous that he is not smart enough to make a living on anything but the misery of others.
He is also one of the biggest liars in this country even up against Bill Clinton. He wouldn't know what to do if he had to tell the truth. Just like Al Franken with Air America telling the investors that they had already raised $30 million when it was only $6 million.
I don't know how many more people will keep listening to the idiots but I am not one of them.
What else have they got?
But if they stand up and comport themselves bravely, then they'll be like us, and lose their unique identities.
People from this country have invented every single important piece of technology in the entire world.
Europe, sitting over there for centuries, like a stagnant pond..
Along comes a group of human beings who decide they had enough, and that they want to live free from tyrannical rule.
What a bunch of dumb people they were for even thinking freedom would work.
