That's hilarious the only people who have problem's with the things i say are liberal's aka left wingers and if i had a dollar every time some person on here called me an "idiot" i'd be that 1% that constantly get's redefined.

Thank's for the compliment better to be called an idiot than an OWS supporter or protester.


I didn't call you an idiot, I called you a useful idiot.

This isn't name calling, this is labeling.

this puts Michael Moore in the same category as the profit-loving, greedy CEOs that he pretends to hate. If his socialism is predicated on the idea that some people don’t have enough, and others have too much, why is Michael Moore quibbling over $2.7 million? If you had just made $21 million, wouldn’t that already qualify as “too much?” Michael Moore’s overall net worth is estimated between $25-50 million.

If I could ask Michael Moore anyone question, it would be this: “Michael, do you really think that what you are doing is any different from what the CEO of Wal-Mart does? Are the millions that you’ve piled up really any different from that of any other CEO? And, why are you seeking to destroy the system has made you so rich, and provided so much opportunity to you and millions of others?” Michael Moore is an astonishing hypocrite, and he needs to tone it down-the needle on the “irony-meter” is in the red zone.

Hypocrite Michael Moore Sues his Producers


This article sums it up also.

Another interesting new concept:
At what income level do you no longer have the right to sue people who owe you money?
While you are at it: I am still wondering at what income level you are legally obligated to stop voicing your opinion.

Moore said it pretty well yesterday on Olberman:
Do you need to be gay to support gay marriage?
A woman to support womens voting rights?
I am a straight man, yet support gay marriage, and women suffrage.
Please explain my hypocrisy, because I don't see it.

Him backing OWS on the premise that he is not part of the 1% they speak of, is like a Wizard in the KKK bemoaning people that are racist.

Sorry, but Jabba the Moore is the 1%.
If we wanted to be like the 99% he fawns over, then he would have made his financial standings as such.

He is a genius in the realm of publicity and the "look at me!! remember me!!??" crowd.

Yes I get that.
What I want you to explain is why I, as a straight, unmarried man, am a hypocrite for supporting gay marriage?

I don't know. Are you a hypocrite?
The person making laws banning gay marriage, can't be for gay marriage. Doing so is hypocritical.

I don't know, you say I am.

Michael Moore is a hypocrite for being part of the 1%, yet supporting OWS.
So being rich, and for non-rich rights is hypocritical
Not being gay, and for gay rights must therefore be just as obviously hypocritical.
Yet I can't put my finger on my "obvious" hypocrism...

Actually this just struck me: Since he protests the 1%, and is part of the 1%, meaning that he has "some skin in the game", doesn't that make him less hypocritical?

Seems you and several others have fallen for more of the smear, which is increasingly smacking of desperation, from the entrenched "Right"...and is spewed, aided and abetted, by various blogs, pamphlets and of course the fountain of filth masquerading as a "news" outlet called 'FOX', as just one of the many foul mouthpieces of the Roger Ailes/Rupert Murdoch empire.


If I could ask Michael Moore anyone question, it would be this: “Michael, do you really think that what you are doing is any different from what the CEO of Wal-Mart does? Are the millions that you’ve piled up really any different from that of any other CEO? And, why are you seeking to destroy the system has made you so rich, and provided so much opportunity to you and millions of others?”


Addressing the last firstly -- Where has Moore, or anyone, advocated to "destroy the system"?? That comment alone indicates the degree of brainwashing, as noted in my opening paragraph.

As to Moore's motivations, let's let him speak for himself, shall we??


Keith and filmmaker/activist Michael Moore respond to recent attacks by critics claiming that anyone supporting people who make less money than they make is either lying or a hypocrite. Moore, who posted a response at MichaelMoore.com that recounts how sudden wealth and good fortune affects - or doesn't affect - class consciousness, encourages affluent supporters to continue to speak out, citing Kanye West and David Letterman as examples

Well,Michael Moore has a soap-box to pander to the likes of those who believe he is for them. He is a Multimillionaire,who claims he is NOT 1%. He Lies,and hes a Hypocrite.

You? I dont know you enough to tell you if you are a Hypocrite. Are you suing anyone for millions,while you have millions? If so,you ARE a hypocrite,if you claim you are 99%.

I guess you mean the Weinstein Bros. case, and the "Fahrenheit 911" film?

Seems it doesn't matter who you are....if someone breaches a contract, and steals money from you that was legitimately yours, then suing is a right and privilege.

Why allow the b$$tards to get away with it?

Hollywood accounting.
Look it up.

Again: I am straight, unmarried.
That should be all you need to know, to judge If my stance on gay marriage (I think yes, gay couples should have the same rights as straight ones) is hypocritical.
Funny, that both you and macman, say you don't know me enough.
Anything particular you need to know? (I was at a gay wedding once, does that help?)

For the record: "That's not the 1% we mean" Is an argument I don't agree with either (and neither does Mr. Moore). The only real hypocrisy i've seen here is the whole non-unionized stagehands for capitalism, a love story thing.

Unfortunately I haven't found a statement by Moore on the issue.

I laughed when the local news agency could not broadcast locally on Occupy Portland due to all the IPods and IPads the poor occupiers were using that took up the bandwidth. The city was turning off their electrical car chargers too since the occupiers were converting them to charge all their electrical toys... oops I mean gear.

Like you, I’m not sure if we are labeling the right group with “greed”.

Make up your mind please:
Are they hypocrits because they protest for more income equality, and have too much income already?
Or are they hypocrits because theey protest for more income equality, and don't have enough income?

Michael Moore confesses: I am the 1 percent


Anti-capitalist film director Michael Moore has drawn fire in recent days for standing with the Occupy Wall Street protesters while failing to acknowledge that he is part of the “1 percent,” not the 99 percent.

Now the director of “Capitalism: A Love Story” and other documentaries has come clean and admitted that he is indeed among the nation’s wealthiest citizens, but without providing details of just how rich he is.

Michael Moore can make all the money he wants. He just does not need to criticize others for making money as well. That is what makes him a hypocrite because it is a double standard.

To the Admins and Mods, the following ties directly into this item so leave it! TY! D1!

California is losing record money due to most of Hollywood being members of Scientology which is where their money goes to.
