Gun-grabbers are getting desperate.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Those with guns can dominate and enslave those without. I think Fat Mike is making the 2A case for us.

[Black Agnes]

Uh, yeah Michael, a six-shooter is really gonna contain four million slaves or even, well, more than 6; gotta reaload SOMEtime!. Can you say suicide wish? I thought you could!

[El Sordo]

His ignorance staggers the imagination.....

[Rightwing Canuck]

was just a frightened old man who couldn't talk in normal sentences

He was frightened because he thought you were gonna eat him you self-hating fat bastard.

First this:

So why don't they shoot each other? Moore can't provide an answer, "but it dispels the liberal argument that, if only we got rid of the guns, we'd have a better society."

Then this:

In the short term, Moore advocates a blanket ban. "We're not straight up here," he points at his head. "Until we are, it's not good to have a lot of guns around."

Not very consistent.

BTW - I thought this weirdo was an NRA member.

"...[firearms were] what the white folk needed to 'contain slavery' for the final 25 years."

He conveniently ignores the fact that firearms helped free the slaves. Harriet Tubman comes to mind.

[Billthedrill]

"The early genesis of fear in America came from having a slave population... that grew from 700,000 to four million," he states. The Colt 6-shooter, invented in 1836, was cheap and portable, and was just what the white folk needed to "contain slavery" for the final 25 years.

This is entirely delusional. Not only did the history of firearms in the United States not begin in 1836, but its inception was European and had nothing to do with slavery. It did have a good deal to do with defense against marauding aboriginals Indians Native Americans uh, nature-loving peaceful indigenous populations, but I can see where a hardline liberal such as Moore might have a difficult time fitting that into his worldview.

In fact, what this is really all about is precisely that - Moore carefully selecting isolated facts, ignoring the continuity of history, and twisting them into a pathological tirade against those that the last line of the article shows the condescending bastard as having hope for after all. That would be us. And the hope he has is that we might someday be persuaded to accept his delusions as facts and become as smart as him. Right, Mikey, you betcha...

"In the film, Moore visits Canada. There are 10 million homes there, and seven million guns. "And yet there are little more than 100 murders in a year in a nation of 30 million people."

Interesting observation. Canada, however, did not fight a revolutionary war to free themselves from the tyranny of the British. The stain of slavery is not part of Canada's history with its burdens upon both slave, slave holder and slave freer. Canada does not have an immigration problem with a southern neighbor that encourages its poorest, least educated, and therefore more prone to violence, segment of population to move north. No the Canucks haven't had our violent history with its struggle to keep our Constitution. I feel sorry for Canada having to be or Northern neighbor.

Repeal NAFTA and let them join the EU, if it will make them happy!

[PeteF]

Did I read that right? Moore is blaming guns for slavery?

You forgot the barf alert.

[isthisnickcool]

The guy has gotten rich via the spittle dripping from his mouth. Go figure.

[NEPA]

In the long run, Americans need to create a different type of society – and stop electing right-wing governments. "I don't know if the film is too late for us," he sighs, "but maybe it can be a warning for other countries."

Seems to me all those school shootings happened on a liberal's watch.

[weegee]

...he is in town to talk guns and that – it soon becomes apparent – is not a subject to joke about.Today his new documentary Bowling For Columbine receives its world premiere in competition at the festival.

Bzzzt. Wrong. See the title of the work. Lottsa larfs.

This is an unlikely achievement in itself. Officially, documentaries aren't allowed, but the selection committee has made an exception for him.

No controversy. Documentaries deal with fact. This is pure "fiction" (B.S. would be another term for it).

[weegee]

Heston simply repeated the party line of the NRA in robotic fashion. "I wasn't there to talk politics with him. I was there to talk about him personally, as a human being. And he didn't know how to respond to that."

Lessee. He's making an anti-gun agit-prop film and he's interviewing the head of an American gun owners' lobby.

But make no mistake. This is just a courtesy call to find out what it was like to star in Ben Hur and Planet Of The Apes. What was the stuff that the made the prop "Soylant Green" out of since they couldn't really use people?

R-ight.

[weegee]

Not that Moore is entirely depressed about the US.

From reports Moore posted on his own website, he was stuck with what to do with his film that he was editing when we were attacked on 9/11. The largest number of people murdered and not a single gun was used.

It made him question just what he was doing. Of course he still makes the plea to bans guns and vote anarchist-socialist. Way to go, commie!

[nickcarraway]

Maybe we should put down free speech because it allows to him to spout nonsense?

He should be so proud of himself that he uses his first ammendment rights to profit off the Columbine situation.

[galt-jw]

why some fool who cant groom himself enough to not wear a hat is fit to make pronouncements on anything of substance is beyond me...cover hollywood, pissant.

The Colt was the high-tech wonder of its age. It was also fantastically expensive. It was bought by people who took survival very seriously. Oh, and the 1836 Patterson was a five-shooter.

So much for his "documentary" ability. What a total waste of white.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

He is now a national celebrity in the US.

Whatever! He's known for one movie, a TV show that was on for a summer (and not invited back), and a book that only the stupidest Gore-voter will buy. He's falls just a tad short of being a celebrity. He's a wannabe and nothing more.

[over3Owithabrain]

Michael Moore is as stupid as he is fat. And he's getting fatter every day.

The fat bastard is the best example of why liberals can make films, write books, anchor newscasts, and edit newspapers, but not successfully host talk-radio shows. Moore's inconsistent ramblings and lack of facts would not stand up to the barrage of dissenting phone calls he would have to air.
