Default The Fahrenheit 411: Michael Moore's Phony "Facts"


Michael Moore Fact # 1: George W. Bush knew a guy, who knew a guy, who stood
next to a guy on an elevator, who happened to be the husband of a girl whose
cousin was dating this really, really fat man, who worked with a guy who was
related to (hold your breath for this one) Osama BIN LADEN!!!!!!!!!!! At
this point in the film Michael Moore interviews a few democrats who say Bush
is a bad stupid man who has some curious links to the Bin Laden family,
plays music that probably got rejected from Unsolved Mysteries, and shows
Bush and his father shaking the hands of Saudi Arabians.

Michael Moore Fact # 2: Americans supported the war with Iraq because we are
trained dogs. Now you have to really focus on this part of the film to
absorb it all. We as Americans are manipulated by the media with the orange
alerts, terrorist threats, and cavity searches that we just went along
blindly with after 9/11. After all there is no real terrorist threat. The
media created it because they are manipulated by the Bush Administration.
Apparently, even though the president is a buffoon, he is capable of
controlling the media, who are controlling you. So who's pulling the
President's strings you ask? (I know that was my obvious question.) The
President is under the authority of (hold your breath again) the Saudi
Arabians, Big Oil, Big Tobacco, Enron, the Rich Republicans, his Daddy, and
Osama BIN LADEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Moore Fact # 3: Until we went there and disrupted the peace Baghdad
was the happiest place in the world. It looked like a scene out of Mary
Poppins. There were kids flying kites, playing in playgrounds, teenagers
shopping at the Gap - well, it was all happiness and puppies. That whole
third world country thing was just propaganda. What about the whole Saddam
Hussein oppressive dictatorship you ask? Horse Puckey! Everything was just
dandy until we went there and destroyed the peace in Iraq.

Michael Moore Fact #4: Our soldiers are dumb rednecks who like to play rock
music while they kill innocent civilians. However, they were in turn preyed
upon by Nazi Military recruiters who force these poor minorities - mainly
from Flint, Michigan - to join up. After being forced into the military,
then being forced to actually go fight in a war, these poor innocents are
misled by our Government's immorality and that's why they molest prisoners.

Now if you still can't resist the urge to waste your money, you can learn
more interesting Michael Moore facts like: 1) there are no cops in Oregon,
2) black people's votes don't count in Florida, and 3) protestors are the
only people who aren't blind sheep in this country. Oh, and at the end of
the movie expect a standing ovation from a group of people who don't see the
movie as a presentation of Michael Moore's skewed, pessimistic view of
America - they just see it as Amerika.

Perhaps now you can give us George W. Bush's 'FACTS': Iraq has stacks of
WMD's and almost has nuclear weapons. Iraq and al Qaeda are really close
to each other even though they are completely idealogically opposed.
Iraq is giving WMD's to al Qaeda. Dick Cheney and Halliburton's
contracts are not related. A complete lack of health care for 40 million
people is acceptable. I can read.

Wake up and smell the roses. You may choose not to believe Michael Moore
but choosing to believe GWB et al is far more damaging.

This does not belong in the racing forum. Please take political threads
someplace else. I hate to see this forum go the way of others and become
a place for political discussions. Good grief! The tour starts in a
matter of days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To quote (as best I can remember it) what Sen. Daniel Patrich Moynahan said
at a Liberal Party dinner around 1984:

If supporting the right to a decent minimum wage, medical care on demand for
all citizens, honesty in public service, affordable quality public education
through college for all, equal civil rights for all citizens, a foreign
policy based on cooperation with international organizations such as the
United Nations and the belief that we must all share equitably the wealth of
the world, then yes, I'm a liberal and damn proud of it.

Liberals become appalled when you actually respond and fight back!
