Michael Moore claims 9-11 passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white...

I took my son to see Michael Moore live at the Roundhouse, in north London, before Christmas. The US radical and author of the best-selling book Stupid White Men was (mostly) clever, funny, angry, sharp, iconoclastic and sceptical about the lies and humbug processed by the US government and big business. Sure there were some flunked bits – you expect that, the troughs are part of the adventure, an evening with a well-worn rebel.

What we did not expect was to feel so enraged at one point that we almost walked out. It was when Moore went into a rant about how the passengers on the planes on 11 September were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men, he claimed, those killers, with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes, who as we all know take no disrespect from anybody. God save us from such stupid white men, especially now, when in the US and the UK, black people's lives are being ripped to shreds by drugs, lawlessness, fear and frightful violence plus the endless circle of racism, exclusion and incarceration. This is not awesome, Mr Moore; it is a calamity, for descendants of slaves unimaginably more so.

Michel Moore is a child of the 60s (and that refers to his IQ.)

[Search4Truth]

Moore is obviously suffering from a mental illness. Sociopath would be a probable diagnosis. I expect he is already taking some kind of medication.

[FrdmLvr]

I always thought "Stupid White Men" was his autobiography.

"A source reports that Moore then packed his bags and flew to New York the next day without saying thank you or goodbye to anyone."

It took awhile, but hopefully the Brits are not as brain-dead as Moore thought.

What I can't understand is why did it take over twom months worth of eathing his bull$hi$ to finally see how bad it tasted?

This jerk should be put in jail for insurrection.

[Happy2BMe]

"Michael More, Stupid Fat B*st*rd!"

And even more stupid are those who actually pay good money to go and listen to his assinine blabberings.

[Happy2BMe]

"I don't know what the left is whining about.

They could take a hose to Moore, prop him up, and stick a microphone in front of him.

Presto! Instant leftist entertainer to "get their message out."

My very best hopes for this puke if for the Democratic National Party to make him their national spokesperson.

[Jhensy]

Remind me to cold cock the bastard if I see him at any airport. It'll be worth three nights in the slammer.

You got your bail right here, pal.

Size always is great determining factor of strength...as well as the ability to intimidate.

But bravery is a matter of character and heart, and I'm sure your husband has both to go along with his size.

Amazing that he figured there were no black men on the plane. I guess he figures black people don't fly.

They can jump real high though.

At about 6 shows per week for 8 weeks that equals $24,000 which the Brits probably tax at a reasonably socialistic welfare state rate of 50-60%.

$24,000 is about £15,000. If that was his only UK earnings for the year, and he was paid weekly, the total income tax and national insurance (equivalent of social security ) deducted would be £2,451 ie 16.34% of the gross pay. It's not quite so bad here as some of you think.

Michael Moore claims 9-11 passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white...

Right after 9-11, Moore said something to the effect that it was too bad the
terrorists hadn't hijacked planes out of the "red zone" (voted for Dubya) states.

I chuckled as I'm sure Moore is clueless...the terrorist picked blue zone
(Democratic) states because they are generally not the home of people who might
accidentally get on the plane with a pistol...

There's only one place in the West (other than behind bars, in a grave, or confined to a mental ward) for this piece of garbage...

FRANCE!

[Caliban]

I suspect Michael Moore is really into "Golden Showers"...

Seriously tho...I saw the same "double standard" in insuslting Mexicans with a "poor man's shower".

Compared to white men, sure. We have a 7'4" white center who can't dunk.

[SES1066]

... I've got a sturdy Harpoon ready!

Better sharpen the barbs and point, it has got to go through a real dense skin and a LOT of Blubber! Of course if he is still in this costume [#20], it'll take a stronger powder charge, MUCH STRONGER!

Thar he bloviates, the great stupid white whiner, Michael Moore!

[Cynderbean]

Your words have made me do some thinking (thank you, I love it when someone jostles my brain). Without fear is it bravery?

[dead]

If you're 7'4" you should be able to dunk while seated.

[LibWhacker]

What a disgusting POS. I wish he had been on one of those planes.

Thank you kindly, Haymarket! Not only did I grossly exagerate, but I didn't even have a clue. Good to know and if there is a web site URL, I'll look it up before I let fly next time!

It's not quite so bad here as some of you think.

If you know could you tell me if it was anything like that before Lady Thatcher?
