Mikey’s Motive

Hi gang.  Before I begin, let me preface this by saying that these are MY REMARKS and MY REMARKS alone.  They should not be assumed to be in line with or representative of anything that Jim might think.  Everyone got that?  Good.

As I have been sifting through the volumes of hate mail I have been receiving (mostly because Moore fans are too stupid to click the correct link) one point became abundantly clear.  As I read the newspaper articles about the incident with Jim and the $12 grand I saw the germination of this meme, and the current press and hate mail prove it.  There are a few variations on this meme but they all tend to follow a general pattern.

1) Michael Moore saved Jim’s wife’s life.
2) Michael Moore paid Jim’s wife’s medical bills.
3) The website was in danger of closing, and Moore paid to keep it up.
4) Jim has not thanked Moore.

This, my friends, is why Moore ponied up the $12k.  It had nothing to do with altruism or a sincere desire to help his fellow man.  Moore, being a narcissistic sociopath, doesn’t do anything unless there is some benefit to doing so.  Here’s the benefit.  The world now largely thinks that Moore not only saved the life of a guy who hates him, but he also gave money so the website could stay up.  It’s all complete bullshit, of course, but that’s beside the point.  The average person thinks this about Moore, and you can’t buy publicity like that. 

Well, actually you can.  For giving $12k to a guy who needed it to pay bills, then telling everyone about what a great guy you are for doing so.

Let me just say this, too.  At the time we were having our server donation drive we had multiple large donations from famous people, including a television producer.  These gifts were given sincerely, some with promises that we would not reveal the source.  NOT ONE OF THESE DONORS has ever tried to capitalize on the fact that they helped the site out of a financial jam.  They, unlike Moore, have too much class for that.  They, unlike Moore, gave us the donations out of a sincere sense of altruism.

Moore fans, you’re being duped.  Don’t be a sheep, open your eyes and see how this vermin of a man is manipulating you.
