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.

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.
And even more stupid are those who actually pay good money to go and listen to his assinine blabberings.
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.
You got your bail right here, pal.
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.
$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.

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!
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.
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!
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!

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