Michael Moore is going to be on Larry King tonight, supposedly to run his ugly yap about the upcoming election.
All I can say is Larry King is really slumming it for guests, I thought it was bad when he wasted his time with Paris Hilton. I think he'd be better off interviewing Heath Ledgers corpse for the show.
I created this icon: 'Michael Moore 1984' You may copy it to your userpics.
The slogon "altrusim is greed; liberation is imperialism; insanity is enlightenment" is a variation on the slogan from the fanatical society from the book '1984', which is "war is peace; freedom is slavery; ignorance is strength". The similarity between the willful insanity of the modern-day anti-war people and that of the people in the book '1984' is so strong that I felt compelled to point it out in the form of a humorous cartoon.
Ironic that the insane people in 1984 supported wars. However, their wars were wars of national dominance, like the wars initiated by Nazi Germany, The Soviet Union, and Imperial Japan, quite the opposite of the wars of self-defense and liberation from theocracy and dictatorial dominance which the United States has waged recently. George Orwell himself, by the way, was opposed to pacifism.
-That is why the coalition death rate has been so low in October ( http://icasualties.org ).
We have achieved what the pacifists and islamic theocrats have adamantly claimed to be impossible: a military victory (approximate quote: "There can be no military victory, only a diplomatic victory"). This was of course not a complete military victory against the insurgency, but only a victory against Al-Qaeda. What it means though, is that a complete military victory is likewise possible. This will not make any difference to the perceptions of the pacifists though, because pacifists typically exhibit an orwellian elective-schizophrenic denial of any military victory by the United States.
Hi just wanted to say hi...well HI! I have a quick question. Did anybody see the interview with Larry the Cable Guy making MM look like the complete ass that he is?

A veteran who lost both arms in the war in Iraq is suing filmmaker Michael Moore for $85 million, alleging that Moore used snippets of a television interview without his permission to falsely portray him as anti-war in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Sgt. Peter Damon, a National Guardsman from Middleborough, is asking for damages because of "loss of reputation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and personal humiliation," according to the lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court last week.
Damon, 33, claims that Moore never asked for his consent to use a clip from an interview Damon did with NBC's "Nightly News."
He lost his arms when a tire on a Black Hawk helicopter exploded while he and another reservist were servicing the aircraft on the ground. Another reservist was killed in the explosion.
In his interview with NBC, Damon was asked about a new painkiller the military was using on wounded veterans. He claims in his lawsuit that the way Moore used the film clip in "Fahrenheit 9/11" - Moore's scathing 2004 documentary criticizing the Bush administration and the war in Iraq - makes him appear to "voice a complaint about the war effort" when he was actually complaining about "the excruciating type of pain" that comes with the injury he suffered.
In the movie, Damon is shown lying on a gurney, with his wounds bandaged. He says he feels likes he's "being crushed in a vise."
"But they (the painkillers) do a lot to help it," he says. "And they take a lot of the edge off of it."
Damon is shown shortly after U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., is speaking about the Bush administration and says, "You know, they say they're not leaving any veterans behind, but they're leaving all kinds of veterans behind."
Damon contends that Moore's positioning of the clip just after the congressman's comments makes him appear as if he feels like he was "left behind" by the Bush administration and the military.
In his lawsuit, Damon says he "agrees with and supports the President and the United States' war effort, and he was not left behind."
He said that, while at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center recovering from his wounds, he had surgery and physical therapy, learned to use prosthetics and live independently. He also said that Homes For Our Troops, a not-for-profit group, built him a house with handicapped accessibility.
"The work creates a substantially fictionalized and falsified implication as a wounded serviceman who was left behind when Plaintiff was not left behind but supported, financially and emotionally, by the active assistance of the President, the United States and his family, friends, acquaintances and community," Damon says in his lawsuit.
Moore did not immediately return calls seeking comment Wednesday. A message was left for Moore at a personal number in New York and with HarperCollins, publisher of Moore's 2002 book, "Stupid White Men...And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!"
A spokesman for Miramax Film Corp., also named as a defendant, did not immediately return a call.
Damon did not immediately respond to a request for an interview.
"It's upsetting to him because he's lived his life supportive of his government, he's been a patriot, he's been a soldier, and he's now being portrayed in a movie that is the antithesis of all of that," Damon's lawyer, Dennis Lynch, said.
Damon is seeking $75 million in damages for emotional distress and loss of reputation. His wife is suing for an additional $10 million in damages because of the mental distress caused to her husband, Lynch said.

So... for a class, we watched Fahrenheit 9/11, and then FarenHYPE 9/11. Now we have to discuss them. We watched them one right after the other, and finished "Hype" today. Though both were biased, I definitely found the second one more entertaining, though I found it annoying when the liberal kid across from me laughed every time Ann Coulter appeared.
Anyway, I would just like to state that I believe, even more than before, that Michael Moore should be forced to live in France and eat nothing but lettuce for the rest of his life.
As referenced below, apparently Michael Moore has at one point had investments in Halliburton. This is like an early Christmas present! If it's true I'm going to sing it from the rooftops and let every single Moore follower know the truth. I just hope he puts out some kind of solid proof like a scanned copy of some paperwork. The knowledge that their idol, their savior, has actually benefitted from Halliburton and other government contractors is liable to cause a meltdown.
TRUTH SHOCK FOR LYIN' LIBERALS PORCINE provocateur Michael Moore likes to portray himself as a working-class man of the people, but a new book exposes him as a "corporate criminal, environmental menace and racist union-buster." In "Do As I Say, Not As I Do: Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy," Peter Schweizer reveals that Moore, who has been vociferous in his criticism of defense contractor Halliburton, has bought and sold hundreds of shares of Halliburton stock — and that of other defense contractors — through his private foundation.
Moore, who has claimed he doesn't own a "single share" of stock, has also invested heavily in HMOs and pharmaceutical giants, the targets of his next movie, "Sickos."
Moore also likes to rail against what he calls rampant racism in the United States and the fact that supposedly no one hires blacks for good jobs. Schweizer points out that "out of the 134 producers, editors, cinematographers, composers, and production coordinators Moore hired, only three were black." And not one African-American lives in the ritzy Michigan enclave where Moore has a $1 million mansion.
And while publicly championing unions, Moore has been quite anti-union in his own business dealings and had several clashes with the Writers Guild.
Elsewhere in the book:
* Schweizer calls Al Franken a "habitual liar, mean-spirited partisan and racial discriminator" for his frequent fabrications to make conservatives look bad, and the fact that he hired only one black person out of 112 who worked on his various projects.
* Ted Kennedy is labeled an "environmental rapist, tax cheat and oil profiteer" for his moves to defeat environmentally friendly projects, the various Kennedy family trusts designed to dodge taxes from which he benefits, and his family's lucrative oil holdings.
* Hillary Clinton is depicted as a "corporate shill and petty tax avoider" while ultra-liberal Barbra Streisand is exposed as a "civil liberties violator, outsourcer and war profiteer."
* Liberal icon Ralph Nader is labeled a "bourgeois materialist, stock manipulator and tyrannical sweatshop boss," while left-wing deep-thinker Noam Chomsky is seen to be a "social parasite, economic protectionist [and] amoral defense contractor." Who knew?
