Multiple Moore Mumbo-jumbo

Up first; Mikey in Time:

TIME: Do you think people will accuse the movie of inaccuracy?

Michael Moore: I offered $10,000 to anybody who could find a single fact in Fahrenheit 9/11 that was wrong.

TIME: Have you had to pay anything?

Michael Moore: No, of course not. Every fact in my films is true. And yet how often do I have to read over and over again about supposed falsehoods? The opinions in the film are mine. They may not be true, but I think they are.

Slimy as usual.  Of course, many “facts” have also been disproved, right here on this site.  The pipeline, military education levels, ethnic makeup, etc.  Flat-out incorrect facts, not opinions.  Michael Moore: more slippery than a politician.

Hat tip: MGarcia

And next, John Mack has asked for our help with what he calls his “Moore Don’t Ignore” challenge.  Basically he’s asking Moore to set up a screening for bloggers of Sicko.  While I agree in principle, I don’t like the fact that the post in question implies that Moore will get a favorable review just for doing it.  What if the movie sucks?  What is - God forbid - it’s not really true or accurate?  Will John mack - a self-admitted fan of Moore’s - still say glowing and wonderful things about it?

Still, I love the idea, but I also know Moore would rather die than face a room full of critical bloggers, even those who say their fans.  Mike can’t personally handle being challenged in any way on any topic.  Narcissistic psychopaths (the clinincal definition, mind you) aren’t equipped with the tools needed to openly face a real-time challenge like open questions from an unknown audience.  He sticks to college tours because he knows his fans will flood the place and suck up to him.

Lastly, Mikey’s paranoid grandstand of “hiding” Sicko from the Big Bad Government.  What, Bush is personally directing a SEAL team to hunt down the negative and destroy the film?  Either he believes it, which makes him a crazy paranoid mental case, or he’s full of shit, and he got the Weinsteins to talk about it like it was real hoping to fool the world press.

And it worked.  Look at the press, how many different countries are simply repeating the story as if it were fact.  Mikey strikes again - the lie becomes truth.  He knew that most Americans - even those who truly hate Bush - would never buy this shit, that’s why he had it leaked to AFP, knowing it would go into a hundred European and Middle Eastern papers, and everyone would believe it.  Of course we’d do that to him.  They do it.  Mikey has worked overtime to equate Bush and Americans with fascism, totalitarianism, dictatorships, etc.  He’s one of the largest (not a joke) driving forces behind the breadth of anti-Americanism in the world today.  Note; breadth.  Not depth.  Our policies (both good and bad), Iraq, our refusal to bow to the sword of Islamic jihad...these things contribute to the depth of hatred some feel.  But the basic “Oh those Americans suck?” attitude?  Yeah, I think Michael bears a lot of responsibility for that.  This give him a credibility abroad that he does not have at home.

Or...there’s no grand thought behind the claim at all.  Mike’s just an ass who makes everyone around him into an ass.
