Michael Moore gets death threats
2004-06-27
After receiving a lot of fame and adulation for his controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," director Michael Moore is now receiving death threats.
Just as likely they have emanated from MM’s publicist. What would a high-profile celebrity entourage be without some security goons in tow, giant shaven-headed steroid afflicted types with ill-fitting suits, earrings and lots of tattoos?
According to The New York Daily News, the Oscar winning director, who might just cause President Bush to lose this year’s election, came with a lot of security at the Washington premiere of his movie and insiders revealed that "there have been major threats from some very sick people."
Swing the election, can he? MM and his followers are in the final stages of celebrity dementia, Napoleonic grandiosity. This ususally precedes the commitment to rehab or the sudden fatal heart attack.
Meanwhile, the advertisements for the movie, which show a stammering Bush have also raised an outcry from Republican activists, who have demanded that the ad be removed from air as it violates the campaign finance law. The law bans the use of corporate money for advertising a presidential candidate, two months before the general elections.
No, no, you freeper cretins, corporate money is OK is it supports progressives!
However, Moore is not worried about the objections, " it is a blatant attempt to stop people from seeing my movie. I am concerned about whether or not the FEC will think I paid Citizens United to raise these issues. How else can you explain the millions of dollars of free publicity this right-wing group has given the movie," the report quoted Moore as saying. (ANI)
I have to wonder if some eeeeeviiiillll right wing mastermind is supporting Lumpy Riefenstahl MM in his work. He is the best thing we have going for us in the propaganda war. His slovenly appearance, obvious disregard for facts or fairness, crass grandstanding, and demented pretensions do more to discredit and expose the corporate pop-left than could any number of sober right-wing pundits.
The death threats, if real, are sick indeed. The Ham-ass terrorist needs to stay alive so he can function as Exhibit A in our case against the idiotarian fifth column.

#24  "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Who is aiding our enemies by setting up the biggest terrorist training camp on Earth, Iraq? Who comforted Osama by attacking his enemy, Saddam? George Bushytail! We've got more than 2 witnesses.

#21  AC - if that happened, Kennedy *spit* would blame Bush.

#20  Exactly, Zhang Fei and Chris. Lumpy's power fantasies may be correct in one respect: He might actually be able to swing the election----in favor of Bush.
I wouldn't mind seeing him bite the big one, but only if it is especially ironic and embarrassing, say, accidentally shot by his own bodyguards or falling off Noam Chomsky's yacht (preferably in the presence of Ted Kennedy).

#19  I think we need guys like Michael Moore around to help with conservative fund raisers. In the old days, we had Hillary Clinton. Now we have Michael Moore. As far as I'm concerned, Moore is the greatest thing to have happened to the Republican Party since Hillary Clinton.

#18  I can't deny that I'll be doing the Dance of Joy when that asspie kicks the bucket, but nobody should threaten to kill him.

Let him lead an agonizing life in shame after his 15 minutes are up. Enjoy watching the cancer eat him from the inside out. No quick heart attack for YOU, you stinking communist.

Remember, there is a reason why TV Nation failed, and why his time as a celebrity is just about over. He will ruin his own career in short order once the "common" people finally decide to get on the net and fact-check his ample ass.

#17  Right, I think the death threat is from his own Doctor (as in 'Mike, if you dont lay off those big-macs.....). And Mikie the liar is using it to promote his bullshit.

And Michael Moron only beleves in 'freedom of speech' as long as it is leftish hate speech which so often spews out of his pie-hole. If it does not fit his twisted view of the facts it must, of course, be ruthlessly stamped out with cries of racism, suppression, etc.... by the mainstream media.

#16  I dunno, there are plenty of rational people who might have a good reason for going off the edge and issuing death threats against MM. For example, families of soldiers whose deaths MM tries to make irrelevant, or meaningless. People who might have very good reason to be insulted by MM, if not driven to rage.

Of course, all these hypothethical people are "stupid" and need to get a grip, or just lock themselves in a closet somewhere.

Riiiggght. Nice facile argument.

#15  I don't know why they bother threatening him - Mikey's mouth and gut are his own death threat.

#14  someone should introduce Mikey to freebasing cocaine - I'd give him 2 days before he'd die, clutching his chest

#12  The idea of death threats against the creep is so stupid. Find the weak spots in Moore's works and poke nice, big holes in them for all to see. All the better if it can be done publicly.

#8  If real, these threats are certainly sick.
Mike Al-Moor's demise would suit our purposes only if it happened in some particularly ironic or humiliating manner and not in a way that would turn this worthless lump of sedition and prevarication into yet another lefty saint:
Examples:
1. Mistakenly killed by Muslim terrorists.
2. Chokes on a Big Mac
3. Falls off Noam Chomsky's yacht and drowns, preferably in the presence of Ted Kennedy.
4. Heart attack in the presence of hookers, a large sheep, and preferably Ted Kennedy.
5. Mad cow disease contracted during a tour of the British Hate-America speaker's circuit.
6. Private jet crashes because of overloading.
7. Flesh-eating bacteria aggravated by poor hygiene.
8. Speaker's platform collapses at anti-war demo.
9. Accidentally shot by own bodyguards.
10. Crushed by bulldozer while inspecting the site of his new mansion.

#6  "It seems some people believe in freedom of speech only if it fits their agenda !!!"

Yeah, anon, that would be lefty conformists who try to criminalize dissent by pretending that it violates their rights.
Newsflash: Contrary to decades of idiotarian indoctrination, there is no Constitutional right to immunity from criticism or disagreement, just as there is no such right to the forum of one's choice; nor is there a right to be taken seriously.
Lefties are also the ones who tear down fliers on university campuses, shout down conservative or non-idiotarian speakers, and try to institutionalize their own agenda and censor opposition by tailoring the definition of "hate speech" to exclude their own support for Islamic medievalists and anti-American bigotry.

#5  Naaa, freedom of speech is a good thing. I think what most object to is the fact that Moore's lies are treated as fact by pretty much the entirity of the media. If any of his works had ever come close to rising above the level of hackneyed political propaganda, some of us might cut him a break. Until then ....

#3  Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. - The Constitution of the United States.

Two witnesses to him giving aid and comfort. Plenty of his statements and his movie qualify I'd say.

#2  The statements he makes make him a traitor. Instead of beating him up, get a friend to be the second witness, listen to him speak, then have him arrested for treason. Giving aid and moral support to our nation's enemies is not protected by the first amendment.
Posted by: Silentbrick   2004-06-27 12:44:45 AM  

#1  I sent him some email and told him, if I ever see him in person, I'm going to beat the fuck out of him. I don't want to kill him....just dot his I(eye), a few times. Of course, I don't 'spect he'll ever come to my part of Northeast Texas. He'd probably be lucky to get out of this part of the country alive. Fat bastard!
