Do My Laundy?
How desperate is Michael Moore getting? This week is apparently take a Republican to SiCKO! week:
I like that a conservative is now a black sheep designation.Here’s what I’m going to do. Because last weekend’s “Win a Trip to a Universal Healthcare Country” was so successful (the winner will be announced next week), this weekend we’re going to try something different: it’s “Take a Republican to ‘Sicko!’” C’mon, we all have a conservative in the family!
Well, because we have a tendency to believe things that are true.They mean well. It’s just that they believe what they’ve been told about that scary “socialized medicine.”
Treat them to the movie this weekend and tell them to send me their ticket stub and entry form. I will hold a drawing and the lucky winner will get to have me come to their home and do their laundry—just like in France! Now, what would make a Republican happier than to see me working away in their laundry room?!
Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t trust Michael Moore to do my laundry. The next thing I know, he’d be handing me a smoldering pile of underwear and telling me that Fruit of the Loom is secretly in league with Bush to enslave third world kids in sweat shops. His next movie would be about how we need “single payer” laundering because I lost a sock.
Use the comments to suggest other ways Moore would “Moore-ize” the doing of laundry. I’m sure you guys are funnier than I am.

I’d be tempted to win this just so I could produce the most unimaginably foul laundry the world has ever seen. Have fun, Mikey!
O/T, but a great article in City Journal about socialized medicine. click here
Here’s the first 2 paragraphs from the article i linked above. Kind of ironic since there was a discussion last week on how Europe and Canada seemed to do a better job of approving treatments
Mountain-bike enthusiast Suzanne Aucoin had to fight more than her Stage IV colon cancer. Her doctor suggested Erbitux—a proven cancer drug that targets cancer cells exclusively, unlike conventional chemotherapies that more crudely kill all fast-growing cells in the body—and Aucoin went to a clinic to begin treatment. But if Erbitux offered hope, Aucoin’s insurance didn’t: she received one inscrutable form letter after another, rejecting her claim for reimbursement. Yet another example of the callous hand of managed care, depriving someone of needed medical help, right? Guess again. Erbitux is standard treatment, covered by insurance companies—in the United States. Aucoin lives in Ontario, Canada.
When Aucoin appealed to an official ombudsman, the Ontario government claimed that her treatment was unproven and that she had gone to an unaccredited clinic. But the FDA in the U.S. had approved Erbitux, and her clinic was a cancer center affiliated with a prominent Catholic hospital in Buffalo. This January, the ombudsman ruled in Aucoin’s favor, awarding her the cost of treatment. She represents a dramatic new trend in Canadian health-care advocacy: finding the treatment you need in another country, and then fighting Canadian bureaucrats (and often suing) to get them to pick up the tab.
I’d decoy him with a laundry basket full of Che T-shirts, dime bags in every pocket, condoms (new and used), U2 tickets, soy-milk stains and a few union cards so he could feel compelled to wrongly expose this phony Republican for what he really is: a closet Democrat.
I have 3 boys...Boys who no matter how much I prod, yell etc, do not change socks for nearly a week, a baby who when he defecates it comes out the top of the diaper and fills whatever bottoms he is wearing at that moment, a son who still has accidents during the night.
All of this leads to a ton of FUN laundry for me. I’d LOVE to have Moore wash it. I wear gloves to put the laundry in the washing machine it is that bad HA HA
And in his next movie, portions of Moore’s laundry adventure appear, completely out of context, in order to make middle-class families look like slovenly, primitive beasts who have been reduced to such a lowly state by the stifling, oppressive evil of whoever happens to be in his sights at the time.
I can’t trust Mikey to be honest in his films, so what makes him think I can trust him to do my laundry? I bet he’d use bleach on everything, too. And I’m talking chlorine, not the color-safe stuff. I think I’d rather wash my own clothes, thankyouverymuch.
I have just visited Mr Moore’s website. He has a response to Mayor Guiliani. Apparently Mayor Guiliani did not like “Sicko”. Mr Moore accuses Mayor Guiliani of turning his back on the 9/11 heroes. That was the same Mayor Guiliani who stood at the World Trade Center site with soot all over his clothes.
Tell me something Mr Moore, did you turn your back on any veterans? Veterans that you portrayed as murderers, rapists and gropers in Fahrenheit 9/11?
It would be fun to rappel a fetid, hairy load into one of his many “I’m sooo from Flint” baseball caps and let him wash that.
A little general comment on this site. While reading it for several weeks now I’ve to say something:
While I agree that Michael Moore is biased, I found this moorewatch site equally biased (in the opposite sense).
Reading this site we have the impression that Universal Health Care is the worst thing in the world, and that socialized medecine is hell.
So in one side we have Michael Moore saying that Private Healthcare System is the worst thing in the world and is hell on earth, on the other side we have this site saying Universal Health Care is what is the worst thing in the world and hell on earth.
Sorry, but both this site and Moore are wrong, PHC is far from perfect and have some major flaws that can give sufficient arguments to a government to not choose that kind of healthcare. UHC also have some major flaws (well in fact only one: potential huge financial deficit), that cam makes it a bad choice for a government.
But no, neither PHC nor UHC are bad systems, both have flaws, and both imply to take care of these flaws to avoid the system to destroy itself.
As they are implemented today (for UHC don’t knowing how it works on every country, I can’t be sure that the following statement is valid for every countries), both Private Health Care system and Universal Health care System are not viable in the long term.
So basically trying to depict such a bad and biased picture of UHC systems is just as much propaganda as the depiction of the US private health care system Michael Moore made on his movie.
In a nutshell: The critics this site makes to Michael Moore being biased and making propaganda, can be perfectly applied to itself. This site claimed goal is to re-establish the truth over what Moore says, but sorry you are failing miserably on this goal, as in reality this site is just replacing lies by other lies.

Well, you’re right about one thing - this site IS biased, the bias being that if Michael Moore produces a film, book, television program, or a coherent sentence, it is likely to contain a minimum of one demonstrable fallacy. That is what this site exists to empirically verify or falsify. That the current topic at hand concerns healthcare at all is simply based on the subject of Moore’s most recent output.
Over the past several months (beginning even before SiCKO was released), the authors of this site have deconstructed MM’s arguments in favor of UHC, as well as his defenestrations of the private system, point-by-point. In doing so, they have provided ample documentation and testimony demonstrating Moore’s overt deceits and deliberate misdirection of his audience’s attention. At no time have any of them insisted that the US’s private, insurance-based system is perfect as it is - far from it - but have simply rejected Moore’s preposterous efforts to persuade his audience that single-payer UHC is the ONLY realistic solution to the problems we face.
iFrodo, can you provide some specific instances in which the authors have attempted to deceive their readers (or “replacing lies by other lies”, as you put it) into blindly accepting the US’s HC system as it exists, or rejecting UHC on the basis of nothing more than their hardly disinterested say-so? Time and again, they have provided hard journalistic evidence that inefficiency, hardship and poverty are the norm under a government-controlled single-payer system, while Moore relies on unverified anecdotal evidence, out-of-context worst-case scenarios, juggling unequal figures, and just plain exclusion of vital information to vilify the US system, and resorts to outright deception to paint UHC in other nations as nothing but sunshine and roses. How can you possibly arrive at any sort of moral equivalancy between the two?
I’m sorry, iFrodo, but you’ll have to show your work on this one.
as in reality this site is just replacing lies by other lies.
Prove it. Name five Moore lies we’ve replaced with other lies.
Don’t even THINK about trying to weasel out of this one. Name five. Right now.
PHC is far from perfect and have some major flaws that can give sufficient arguments to a government to not choose that kind of healthcare
And if you actually read this site like you claimed to have, you would have noticed the people who post and many commenters have been saying this. You’re a dipshit.
UHC also have some major flaws (well in fact only one: potential huge financial deficit), that cam makes it a bad choice for a government.
That’s bias on your part. I consider the possibility of long waiting times, and cost cutting efforts like using cheaper drugs to be major flaws too. Like I said, you’re a dipshit.
Don’t even THINK about trying to weasel out of this one. Name five. Right now.
Dollars to donuts we’ll never see iFrodo again.
Here’s how it would go down:
Moore shows up at your house with a camera crew. For some strange reason, the camera crew seems a little too large for the job of filming Moore’s laundry adventure, and oddly enough, many members of the crew require a translator so that Moore can communicate with them.
Moore greets you warmly and shakes your hand. After you quietly make sure all jewelry and valuables are still there, you listen as Moore explains again how France is better than America because the government provides laundry services.
Next, Moore gives you fifty dollars and the keys to a rental Lexus, and tells you to go ahead and have lunch, because in France, the government makes sure that people have all kinds of free stuff, like long vacations and free doctors and government underwear-folders.
So that fifty bucks is burning a hole in your pocket, so you go out and have a nice big fancy lunch at the nicest restaurant in your area. When you get home, the laundry is all done. Moore is standing there, folding up the last three or four bath towels sitting at the bottom of the laundry basket.
Before he leaves, he hands you a DVD. On the DVD are vaious scenes depicting Moore doing your laundry. Of course, the scene never lasts more than five seconds before cutting to a different scene. Then Moore asks you to please reconsider your position on health care, and he and his English-challenged camera crew leave before you can ask him to reconsider his position on employing illegal immigrants.
