Moore: Americans are 'The Dumbest People on the Planet'

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.''

So it is worth taking a moment to study the metaphysics of Michael Moore. For Moore is not only a filmmaker; he is a man of ideas, and his work is based on an actual worldview.


His "worldview" comes from having his head up his arse all the time!

This man Moore, is one sick puppy. It is pretty obvious just from looking at him that he has no respect for himself, some people have health problems that lead extremely revolting personal appearance. Moore on the other hand is an utter pig, filled with a desire for self gratification driven by self loathing. A truly pathetic characture of a human being.

He is seeking his own destruction at a brake neck speed, I think he should be insulted and berated at every possible opportunity. It is one thing for a demented person to demean themselves into the gutter, it is entirely different for Mr Moore to attempt to bring us all into his own little personnel gutter.

Mr. Moore is the son of a whore who was impregnated by a mongrel dog while lying drunk in a gutter.

"We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing."

This Jabba the Hutt wannabe is, if nothing else, consistently ignorant. He still doesn't know the difference between ignorance and stupidity.

When Albert Einstein was three, he was ignorant, but demonstrably not stupid. When Michael the Hutt was three, he was also ignorant and stupid.
Albert Einstein, and most adults, leave total ignorance behind. On the other hand, it must be true: stupidity is forever.

The more I hear of him the more I am convinced he is nothing but a huckster. 100 years ago he would have been selling whiskey to the indians or a cure for the vapors. the liberal elite in this country have taken a page from the nazis and have decreed that it is correct to hate conservatives and moore has cashed in on this hatred in a big way. I doubt many of the people seeing his crap really believe him but their enraptured embrace of hatred is so comforting to them that they really don't care. they enjoy the hate filled lies being thrown at GWB. they don't care about the truth, the country or freedom. their hatred is all that matters.

The hatred is the only thing filling the void . the drugs, casual sex and all the other "instant gratifications that they have embraced won't fill it. moore is just giving them another band-aid for their tortured soul.

I can think of one thing I'd be interested in seeing "happen" outside our country.

People from this country have invented every single important piece of technology in the entire world.

I never looked at it that way before but that is a great observation.

The last significant invention or discovery I can think of that was European is the steam engine. And when was that? 1770?

They are just jealous because the Buddhists have all those statues of the little fat Buddah, so they've adopted Michael serve aa the equivalent of their little fat buddah--and they get to rub his big fat tummy for luck.

''You're stuck with being connected to this country of mine, which is known for bringing sadness and misery to places around the globe.''

He says this with a straight face, and Europe, which America redeemed from sadness and misery, laps it up like milk. Talk about crazy doublethink.

The silver lining is that the profusion of anti-Americanism pouring forth from Moore and his comrades is going to make Bush's win in November sweeter than sweet.

"Can you say, media wh*re communist of the Madonna kind."

I am not sure if it is appropriate to call Michael Moore a whore. Why? Calling Moore a whore implies he sold his integrity. The problem is Moore never had any integrity to sell.

Does anyone have any idea why Western Europeans feel so superior to us Americans? It is really remarkable that they look down on us so. I just can't understand why.
