Michael Moore follies | |
2004-01-08 | |
DISCLAIMER: This is my first article post. I could be wrong, I could be right. Please forgive me if I screwed the pooch here... ...Anyway, it’s not an article, but rather reader responses to a question in The Age. Link courtesy of Tim Blair. The American right used to dismiss Michael Moore’s material as unfunny agitprop, unworthy of attention, but it just may turn out that the writer of Stupid White Men and the maker of "Bowling for Columbine" will inadvertently help President G. W. Bush to a second term in office. Do you believe Michael Moore? Does he do more harm than good? What you said. WE must free our minds to use the brains and Michael Moore provides the information and conceptual relevance to frame the context of the ongoing debate about America’s hegemonic lust for flag-planting and the cannabilistic murder and consumption of its own poor people and children. ("Yes," says George W. "let the NRA pass me some dark meat from the ghetto to go with my blood pudding.")Kinda brings a tear to your eyes, doesn’t it?

#13 most of the people adding comments to this site appear to be americans, what you must realise is the level of dislike/hatred many others feel towards your country. your corperations are corrupt and greedy like your government. for many years terrorism in northern ireland was supported by you but when your own country is attacked (perhaps even justifiedly) you go completely balistic and as an aside did you know that more british soldiers were killed by trigger happy americans than by arabs |

#12 SH (Steve), I'm happy to write that script. One dose of visits to the killing fields of Cambodia and Iraq, along with the mass graves in Rwanda so that our LLL patient understands just how the UN screwed the pooch. And a field trip to a barren grass lawn in North Korea. Steve Yao: welcome to the Army of Steve™! |

#11 This is a hysterical parody of Margot Kingston and other LLL luminaries. Read Tim Blair for info about this Aussie freak, especially her screamingly funny minds / brains liberation comment. She is about as lovely looking as you would expect - scrawny, twisted scowl, wizened face, butch haircut -- what's not to like ? As a commenter at Tim's site said: "She looks like the Revenue men blew up her last still." |

#10 "...but it just may turn out that the writer of Stupid White Men and the maker of Bowling for Columbine will inadvertently help President G. W. Bush to a second term in office." Cannibalism or cancer? The left are so frustrated with rage they starting to turn their own. |

#9 As a closetted Steve, I salute Steve Yao. I like the line: "...who have been denied the benefits of tertiary education (unlike me and most Age readers) can understand." I grew up around educated moronic snobs; I prescribe a trip to see the skull pyramids of Cambodia and the mass graves of Iraq for all intellectual leftists - but Steve White should probably make that official. I also like: "...but it just may turn out that the writer of Stupid White Men and the maker of Bowling for Columbine will inadvertently help President G. W. Bush to a second term in office." One must ask, how can such a powerful intellect as Michael M. be outwitted by poor beffuddled GW? |

#8 Ah, Mad Margo and The Brains! Top o' the pops in some circles. The circle of the treacherous, for instance... |

#7 Welcome to the next recruit in the Rantburg Army of Steves (tm). I think you should call yourself Steve Yao, as in Yet Another One. |

#4 Wow. Do you think this moron could use any more um, shit, I can't think of the word. Allegories? That's not right. Crap. Metaphors, that's it. What a pile of shit. I love the line about 'large precious object' they got the 'large' part right anyways. MM is a big fat, ignorant piece of trash, who talks about freedom of speech being trampled while spewing his anti-American crap. And he's too stupid to see his screeds invalidate his own arguments. Fucking moron. I'd love to beat his fat ass down. |

#3 Ogram makes Moore look like a flag-waving patriotic, gun-toting zealot by comparison, and that's a shame. Coz Moore is still a rotten-ass excuse for an American. Did you know that every rocket that takes off from Cape Canavaral... has led to nervous conditions amongst neighbouring manatees. Analyst: When did you discover you love dolphins? Manatee: Right after a rocket launch. It was kismet. It was wonderful. Analyst: Here's your viagra. Just don't fall in love with me, k? |

#2 That particular comment is fake; the name is "Margo Kingston" backward. It's dead-on, though. |

#1 I was going to post that response, but time committments caught up with me. Good to see that someone else thought that his/her idocy was worthy of note. |
