WHat if Moore got all Ken Burns on us?  We’d have gotten Fahrenheit 1861.

Hilarious and if it were capable during that time, I’m sure Moore would make a video like this. He’d interview slaves (But only the ones who got to stay in the house-not the ones who worked all day in the fields) and the slave masters and everybody else.
Can’t wait for next week.

Friends,

This is Mike: I’ve done some research.  At one point in his life, “Honest” Abe TALKED TO Robert E Lee.  That means that he was a confederate sympathizer.

Oh, and as we all know, Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.  All Blacks who support the Republican agenda are sell-outs, Uncle Toms, and Oreos.  Ergo, all the former slaves are sell-outs, Uncle Toms and Oreos.

And, come on!  Abraham Lincoln took away a Master’s right to CHOOSE!!!  I mean, I was afraid he was going to pass a bill that would say that if you killed a man and his slave, that it constitutes double homicide; I was afraid he’d get a bunch of radical judges to reverse the Dread Scott decision; but this!!!  Argh!

I have taken the most ugly woman I could find and made her camp outside of Lincoln’s home.  Her son died because of lies.  Even though it was a confederate soldier that killed her son, Lincoln is the one she’s mad at.  The confederacy are “freedom fighters.”

This is a war for tobacco and cotton.

Please stop occupying the south and oppressing the Black slaves by trying to end slavery!

Apparently somebody has been reading way too many issues of Souther Partisan magazine.

News Of The Future. Dateline 2106.

Civil rights activists have asked the state of South Carolina to stop the flying of Michael Moore’s pants from the flag pole. While many have expected this to ignite debate over the Second Gulf War, civil rights activists have maintained that they are not arguing over the past, but that the pants are disgusting and obstruct the view of many nearby residents.

That is one sturdy flagpole…

Yeah if the wind blew too hard, it might change the Earth’s rotation.

I love it when a Moore-on proves that they’re too stupid to understand the concept of humor.

Wow, is Lincoln an a-hole for trying to follow the constitution. Thanks, Morris.

Well, Morris has definitely embarked on a new style of Moore-onitude, and in a behavior that many Libtards began using when Clinton was in office and various things about him began to come to light.
Dig up as much dirt on presidents who were considered to be great as possible.
The tactic was to prove that other presidents we consider as great were flawed, and thus Clinton was great because of his flaws. Or something. But like pretty much everything done by Libtards, it was done in such an idiotic way and with so little foresight that it wound up looking like, and then becoming, simply smearing great figures of history as if they were hated, rather than “pointing out the flaws”.

I don’t even know what Morris-on’s point is!  He quotes Wikipedia’s Lincoln article, but doesn’t provide any analysis of his own.  Is he denying something in the documentary?  It’s satire!

And then he talks about how Lincoln did all these flawed things.  All I really get from it is that he went further in his wartime laws than Bush ever did.  I really don’t understand where he’s going.

Morris, you…

Oh, the hell with it.

I just hope BDS is fatal.

Ah Morris,
Its all facts and no reasoning.  It also leaves out the huge moral questions that Lincoln wrestled with to the point he almost destroyed his health to solve.  If I am to understand you, then the ends do not justify the means, and that Mr. Lincolns means do not justify what he did to meet them because he wasn’t as moral a man as he has been protrayed as since his death. What that view leaves out is that without his actions, this country would not have survived.  Restoring the Union was Lincoln’s overwhelming, and only, reason for being president.  The war started out as a constituional question, be evolved into a moral one on the question of slavery.  Dismissing the ends as you have done is easy with the distance history gives us.  It also helps that we are a united country, and can discount such antiquated notions as “states rights” as relics of the past.

Oh, forgot one other thing in my long diatribe....

If Bush was your boy, you would be right there with him, and trashing all those against him as the Liberals did with Clinton.  “Oh, its just about sex, not that pesky lying to a grand jury.” Ring any bells?

It all starts with the idea that you dislike Bush, and are on the opposite side of his politics.  You will see the facts as you wish because of this.  The same goes for those on the right with someone like Clinton. So please, please, do not pretend to be presenting facts without the axe grinding.

Actually, at this time I never said much more about Clinton than the timing that Libtards began using this tactic, IE, when Clinton was in office, and various flaws of his character and behavior began to come to light.
It was while Clinton was in office that historians suddenly began taking an interest in which presidents had slept around, fostered illegitimate children, possibly cheated and stolen, and all that. It hardly seems like a coincidence.

Why do conservatives always go back to Clinton, anyway? He actually took out religious fanatics in Waco, while Bush just courts them at his ranch, and yet you claim Bill’s the one who’s soft on terrorism.

Did… I… just… see…

No. Impossible. Nobody… I mean nobody could be that stupid.

...Or could they?

Morris, did you actually just cite the Clinton administration’s immolation of a compound full of women and children as comparable to the war on terror?

...no, really… did you?

...seriously?

ow. I think I have a headache, now.

Actually, here’s the liberal’s new tactic: trying to delegitimize any criticizm--even just in the context of pointing out a double standard when they criticize Bush when Clinton did the same thing--in that “he’s not the President anymore!” That’s why we study history.  It’s so that we know what people did right and what people did wrong so that we can point to the past to rectify the future.

But to the liberals, an attack on one of their guys is an attack on all that is good and pure in the world.

Funny using Clinton in that context....

Well, irony is a fun little thing when it’s not you…
