I found this quite amusing.

If one needed any more proof of what a dispicable liar Moore really is, he's even becoming discredited among the left. Anyone stupid enough to give this man an oscar on anything other than science fiction deserves a swift kick to the head.

...and let the arm-chair politicing begin!

And you're saying that Moore actually deserves his Oscar for a "Documentary"?

I didn't say a got-damn thing about Moore.

Tell me which of the seven words I wrote insinuated that I was taking a side on the issue?

Your cynical tone - cynicism, irony, and sarcasm are the secret code languages of the liberal left. The conservatives don't know what we're planning that way.

We?

Conservatives have lost the ability to be fiscally conservative, the defining trait of that leaning over the past 50 years.

Liberals have lost the ability to appeal to and represent the middle class (ie the voting class).

I personally can't identify with either party in their current incarnation.

At any rate, I'm just not going to have someone try and pin an overgeneralizing political talking point on me for the hell of it. (not referring to you there big-C)

Then why did you even make the comment other than to do so? Whatever, sometimes you people can be a damn pain in the ass you know that? I pointed out something that was funny and ironic and you turn it around onto some politics issue all on your own. You have no one to blame but yourself for the return comment. If I had wanted a debate, much less one between liberal and conservative (which I didn't even bring up thankyouverymuch) I would have posted it in the philosophers forum. Get a frickin' clue, people, and get off your damn cross.

This thread has gone political.. Moved to the philosophers section.

Is it because I was compared to Jesus?

See, you are the one who started the political stuff: by posting a thread about mikey moore. Anytime he is mentioned, it becomes a conservative vs. liberal flame thread.

That is all Counterpunch was intoning. Nothing more. You read the rest of it into it yourself.

Exactly why I moved it.

conservative vs. liberal = Some sort of political discussion.

While we are at it please let's keep it civil.

Thanks.

I posted a link which had nothing to do with politics. I posted nothing about liberal vs. conservative. Anyone who put that in did to themselves. The fact that it became that is just sad for you people. I mean, why does everything have to be about anti-bush, anti-church, anti-whatever hot button issue? It was intended to be a funny thread about Moore getting his hand caught in the cookie jar, so to speak. At most a general discussion. I did not intend for this to become a debate, I will not debate it, and as such the thread may as well close for all I care.

...but I do so love the view.

You're the one who sacrificed yourself for the cause of non-existent political discussion, not me. I'm sorry I touched upon the hypocrisy of your personal jesus, Michael Moore.

Chill please or the thread gets locked.

Rules for this forum

"This is bad comedy."

I don't like Micheal Moore because he makes these so-called documentaries that he knows his going to be controversial then cries and whines like a damn baby when studios won't release them and critics attack them. I don't think BFC shoulda won the Oscar for best documentary I think it shoulda won best editing.

Predaprince wrote:"This is bad comedy."

What does that even mean?

I like Michael Moore because I agree with him.

But I can totally see why some people hate him. He attacks and villifies, just like someone I hate to the point of openly questioning free speech: Anne Coulter.


The secret is to ignore the loudest voices. Then things make more sense.
