Some wonder why many here do not care for Michael Moore. It is because of comments like this

[still_one]

Link to tweet

Can someone tell me which Democrat asked Michael Moore to lie for him?

[Thekaspervote]

1. That says so much about how MM feels about Biden. MM is just disgusting

You lied plenty about Biden during the primary, get off your high horse and go away

[still_one]

7. He didn't endear himself to environmentalists in his documentary several months ago

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/28/climate-dangerous-documentary-planet-of-the-humans-michael-moore-taken-down

[Illumination]

61. Thank you for that info. Have never been quite sure about M.M....Understand why he has critics

with a comment like that!...WOW! Live & learn!

[SheltieLover]

17. This!👆

[Cha]

19. Joe Biden doesn't ask anyone to LIE for him.. Moore just wants

some fucking attention.

[JI7]

24. Hr doesn't just want attention. He is trying to help Trump win

that's why he is blaming Obama for the water in flint.

[Cha]

30. Yeah, MMoore is RF the Election AGAIN.. he's a mean-spirited MF

He cares NOTHING ABOUT OUR COUNTRY OR PLANET.

[JI7]

20. Not just Biden. He has again blamed Obama for the Water in Flint . Moore is trying to help Trump

right now.

[George II]

52. It also says so much about how he feels about OUR Democratic Party. As you say, just go away!!!

[Enterstageleft]

2. Use your head

You don't ever have to lie for Biden, just tell the truth about all of the rePugs.

[oasis]

3. Get lost Michael Moore. Who in hell gives a damn what you do?

[Yavin4]

4. The Left in America, and the UK for that matter, are terrible at politics. Absolutely terrible.

To them, politics is about their own ego gratification than it is about actually building long-lasting coalitions to fight the rising Fascism of the Republicans.

Moore's quote here is proof of this. He's more concerned about some slight from the Biden campaign than he is about defeating Fascism.

There won't be any future elections if Biden loses, not ones that we recognize.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. First half true, what happened?

[JI7]

5. Michael Moore referred to South Carolina Democrats as Bidens Condom

Michael Moore is a racist and wants Biden to lose .

https://mobile.twitter.com/MMFlint/status/1231922071019687936

[Cha]

33. Yeah, Moore is a Racist IDIOT. I saw that in 2014 when he

falsely claimed "Obama would only be remembered for being a Black President".

[Illumination]

73. Well the way things stand right now, MM will be remembered for his slob appearance, his big

racist mouth & his eccentric personality!

[Hekate]

6. MM is such an impediment to progress for a man who calls himself a "progressive."

[JI7]

10. Most who make a huge thing about how progressive they are seem right wing to me

and tend to be grifters.

[uponit7771]

34. +1, then try to redefine progressive to their top issues only

[stillcool]

8. seems to happen when

fame starts to wane. Relevance must be a hard thing to lose, especially when your claim to fame is making some very timely, highly acclaimed documentaries, followed by a bomb. Like Ralph Nader. Is he still alive?

[crimycarny]

35. I was thinking the same

I’ve never cared for Michael Moore but he seems to have gotten much worse as he gets less and less relevant. A narcissist who can’t stand that no one cares what he has to say.

[Thekaspervote]

48. Got that one!! "When fame starts to wane."

[DonaldsRump]

9. Fahrenheit 9/11 was a terrible movie

I saw in in the theater in 2004 and remember how disappointed I was in the movie. George W. Bush didn't cause 9/11, but he was so grossly negligent in allowing it to happen that it was almost the same thing as being a part of it. Moore didn't come close in scratching the surface of the real issues in 9/11 and the fake Iraq war.

Michael Moore's paltry analysis in this movie was pathetic. I have absolutely no trust in him on anything. I used to, but no longer.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. Huh? I thought it was great. So is that how it goes?

Don't like what he said and then retroactively bash back to beginning of time? Rewrite history?

Saw F9-11 on opening night in DC. Standing ovation when it was over.

[DonaldsRump]

56. ???

Thanks for being a Michael Moore defender!

He did not come close to talking about the failures of W. What exactly did he say in the movie that was not already known? There was so much more to talk about, all of which has been buried.

[yaesu]

58. I went to see it also, it must have been age restricted because there were young teens trying to

get in but had to be escorted by an adult. It was quite popular at the time.

[betsuni]

65. I was disappointed, too. It was 9/11 101, An Introduction to 9/11.

Useful to those who don't follow the news, but nothing new to anyone who had. I was expecting something that I didn't already know.

[Me.]

11. That Big Bazoo Is A FRaud

Who mistreats employees and doesn't pay his bills. Begging for attention.

[JI7]

12. He reminds me of Trump. Steve Bannon is a huge fan of Michael Moore

[Illumination]

97. Figures RE: Steve & Michael. You know what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together".

Steve & Michael always look like something the cat dragged in from the back alley...

[uponit7771]

31. Didn't know this about MM he's an attention whore no doubt

[Me.]

45. Here's A Quick Look

“The famed documentarian, whose new film ‘Fahrenheit 11/9’ is out this month, stands accused of not only failing to pay his film-fest bills, but smearing his vendors in the press.

Apparently, Michael Moore is struggling to reconcile his revolutionary brand with his status as a famous, wealthy filmmaker. Simultaneously, critics of the documentarian are calling hypocrisy, insisting that Moore’s conduct is at odds with his reputation as a champion of the people.

In early June, Boston Light & Sound, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival. In the claim, BL&S stated that a total payment of $256,500 had been due by September 30, 2017, for their work on the 2017 film festival. “TCFF paid a $100,0000 deposit towards the Contract Amount on July 12, 2017,” legal docs claimed. “BL&S performed all of its obligations pursuant to the contract. However, since the 2017 film festival, TCFF has only paid an additional $2,000 toward the outstanding balance owed.” That brings the alleged balance down to $159,055.”…

https://www.thedailybeast.com/michael-moore-accused-of-stiffing-smearing-vendors-all-i-would-like-is-to-be-paid

“Basically, Moore and his colleagues have made a film attacking renewable energy as a sham and arguing that the environmental movement is just a tool of corporations trying to make money off green energy. “One of the most dangerous things right now is the illusion that alternative technologies, like wind and solar, are somehow different from fossil fuels,” Ozzie Zehner, one of the film’s producers, tells the camera. When visiting a solar facility, he insists: “You use more fossil fuels to do this than you’re getting benefit from it. You would have been better off just burning the fossil fuels.”

[Nexus2]

76. Did the documentary off any solutions?

[JI7]

13. He again tweeted blaming Obama for Flint Water

[CaptainTruth]

14. I'm officially done with Michael Moore.

Done.

[Willto]

15. I can't stand him

As I said in another post with friends like these who needs enemies. I actually think it pisses Moore off that Biden is looking so good in the polls. He seems to love when Democratic candidates lose.

If he can't be counted on to set his petty bullshit gripes aside in an election like this where the stakes are literally no less than are we are going to continue to have a democracy as we have known it then to hell with him.

At the end of the day a knife plunged 6 inches deep in your back does the exact same amount of damage whether it was put there by an openly declared enemy or a sneaky rat fu#*er that was supposed to be a friend.

[Cha]

16. Who Gives a Fuck, Moore? No, you Just LIE for your GD

self. MF.

[sheshe2]

18. So per Mike,

For the millions of us spending every waking moment for the next 59 days trying to remove Trump, we won’t succeed if we have to also fight the Party and the Campaign who seem to be stupidly working against us.

The last 59 days? Where the F were ya for the past 3 plus years Mike? And here ya are calling Democrats stupid.

we won’t succeed if we have to also fight the Party and the Campaign who seem to be stupidly working against us.

WTFAYTA! Who the hell is us, Mikie?

[elleng]

21. GOOD idea, bring up a controversial figure,

let's work on splitting progressives/liberals/leftists from those who would support the Democratic ticket.

[JI7]

26. Michael Moore is neither of those three groups. He is trying to help Trump win

by blaming Obama for Flint's water.

[budkin]

22. Stopped caring about him in 2004

When he went on late night talk dressed as a Republican and mocked all of us for “losing” to W.

[NNadir]

23. Michael Moore is a useless excuse for a human being. He also has a tortured relationship with truth.

I recall that this ass claimed he couldn't tell the difference between Bush and Gore.

Um, or was he lying on behalf of the Republicans?

More than 100,000 dead Iraqis can't either. They're dead. The reason they're dead is because Moore is a pompous ass with a very dysfunctional brain.

[UTUSN]

25. K&R for, hard to Kick something at the top!1

[mcar]

27. What a jerk!

Still trying to make Democrats lose.

[Beringia]

28. People that speak their mind are often pillaried from all quarters

[JI7]

29. lol, that the bs people say about Trump. Both are racist assholes

[Cha]

40. Right Fucking ON.. They do say that about trump.. "he speaks

his fucking "mind".. & we know what's on his mind.. Treason.

[uponit7771]

32. BothSideism sucks azz Moore isn't progressing any point with post like this

[Cha]

39. No, it depends on how Fucked up their "minds" are.. & just

how full of RF SHIT they are.. like MMoore.

[betsuni]

69. Just telling it like it is, right? Like until last year saying the 2016 primary was rigged, that the

"old guard of the Democratic Party is a greater roadblock to social progress than Trump is." (Sept. 6, 2018) That President Obama didn't do anything about the Flint water crisis. He thinks Trump is an "evil genius" and that Democrats aren't progressive. That Trump voters voted for him because of economic reasons and not, as everyone knows because the data tells us so, on identity -- fear and anger -- because the Republican Party knows people don't like their economic policies. MM gets most things wrong these days.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

36. past his sell by date.

[Cha]

37. To be Clear, MMoore.. you're "clear" as Fucking MUD.

[2naSalit]

38. There was a time when I found him...

acceptable but that was several years ago. Now, I don't have time for his petty bullshit and whining about how Bernie didn't win so his utopia can't happen or some shit.

[AmyStrange]

41. He's right, but...

-

he's also an idiot for attacking ByeDON & Harris instead of the trumpet.
===================

[Cha]

81. MFM is WRONG.. No one asked the fucker to "Lie for Biden"

In Fact.. MM should Start TELLING THE TRUTH.

[SidDithers]

42. Fuck Michael Moore...

Sid

[crimycarny]

43. Anyone from Bay Area remember Bernie Ward KGO radio host?

Bernie was a far left leaning radio show host for KGO radio out of San Francisco. He was nicknamed “The Lion of the Left”. At the time Bernie had his show, I had a long evening commute and at times would tune in to KGO radio but I couldn’t stand to listen to Bernie Ward for more than a few minutes. I couldn’t put my finger on why, just felt he was trying to manipulate his viewers and didn’t give a damm about whatever left wing “battle” he was supposedly fighting for. Michael Moore gives me that same vibe.

Anyway, years later Bernie Ward was indicted for distributing child pornography. No,I’m not saying MM is a pedophile, but something about him is off putting and insincere. It’s all about HIM.

[Beringia]

44. Poem for Michael Moore

[helpisontheway]

46. He is just pissed because his choice for primary lost. Orif he is racist

he probably does not like to see Kamala on the ticket.

[peggysue2]

47. Who has asked Micheal Moore or anyone else to lie for Biden?

Lie about what? Working against whom? We are all engaged in a battle for the country's survival, a war we cannot afford to lose. So why does Moore or anyone else on the left think they're involved with a party/campaign working against them? Because they can't get their way all the time, can't run their agenda or whatever?

Get with the survival program, folks. We either win this thing or we all go down. For generations.

I find the stupid whining disgusting, beyond short-sighted.

We fight now so we can fight another day. Anything that dismisses that premise is pure BS.

[DanieRains]

49. Corporate America Is Destroying The Planet

Michael Moore has the courage to talk about it.

The money and the power of the 1% are rarely mentioned by the politicians I like, support, and donate to.

I wish it wasn't so......

BTW how much a year does a lobbyist make?

More than me..... Waaaaaay more than me.

[JI7]

63. So you liked Michael Moore's Recent Film on the Environment ? Blaming poor countries with high

populations ?

Michael Moore is a racist .

[Cha]

82. Michael Moore is a Fucking LIAR.. He's a RATFUCKER.. Yeah

that takes Whole Shitload of "courage".

[marble falls]

50. I don't hate him, but I sure do dislike him. It would be very hard to get me to listen to ...

anything more he's got to say.

[pnwmom]

51. So stop trying to work against Biden, you jerk. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

55. Once again, Dems killing their own.

[Demsrule86]

68. Michael Moore isnt much of a Democrat and dislikes the party really. He only helps

Trump. But in my view he is a 'has been' and should be ignored.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

95. Never understood the value of all these 100% purity

tests. When accepting people who basically agree with Democratic ideals (although we may not always agree with everything they say) makes so much more sense. Accepting people grows our minds and our big tent.

[Demsrule86]

98. Michael Moore has not helped us in winning elections and is not nor ever was part of the big tent..

honestly, he can fuck off. He attacked Gore,Kerry and Clinton. when he is on any network, I turn it off...no interest in listening to his nonsense...he is a only trying to promote himself anyway and hates Democrats IMHO.

[Cha]

80. Yeah, MFM Killing DEMS with his stupid Gaslighting Statement.

[Skittles]

57. he needs to get over Bernie

he has become tiresome

[Aviation91]

59. Michael is a Bernie Supporter...

And that’s fine. I was a Joe Biden supporter. If Bernie had turned out to be the nominee, I was going to be in full support of Bernie. Some of Bernie’s supporters don’t seem to feel the way that I do. They are Bernie or Bust diehards. Nina Turner said voting for Joe Biden or Donald Trump is like eating a half bowl of shit! Her words, not mine! To my knowledge Joe Biden never made any disparaging remarks about Bernie, so why take things out on Joe. It has been the people that found Biden more appealing. Why does Michael Moore feel he needs to lie for Joe Biden? I’m just sure he hasn’t been asked to lie...so WTF???

[pstokely]

66. he thinks you need your own cult to beat a cult

like many other Bernie bros

[betsuni]

71. I didn't think about it like that, but it's true!

And he kept saying that only a celebrity like Oprah or Michelle Obama or Sully the airplane guy could win the election, that a politician couldn't. As if it's a personality thing and if you just got the right popular person then everybody would vote.

[Cha]

83. That's fucked up. moore wanted Michelle Obama to

run when he's out there still blaming Pres Obama for for Flint? According to a poster on this thread whom I respect.

Moore is a Whacked Ratfucker.

[betsuni]

84. "Find a BELOVED American who shares our values and we can WIN the White House in 2020.

Ellen Degeneres! Sully Sullenberger, Michelle Obama. Tulsi Gabbard. Tom Hanks. LeBron! Bernie! Oprah! Beto! Streep! Why don't we win for once."

On Trump: "He's so much smarter than our side. ... He's an evil genius, but to not respect how smart he's been in doing this. ... We cannot run a politician. We will lose."

Mr. "I'm always right." LOL. Does he know President Obama won twice? That there was a blue wave in the midterms? That Bernie Sanders is a politician?

[Cha]

85. Omagod.. Turns out the Majority Love Biden &

MM can't handle he's WRONG once Again.. So he Goes into RATFUCKING Mode.

That's the way I'm looking at it.. I've seen a hateful tweet on Biden before from Moore. He was So Wrong Then.. it was Mean Spirited Dripping with .. right Before ALL HELL Broke LOOSE on him .. he's just a Mean Spirited guy Not giving a shite about our Country Or the Planet.

On Trump: "He's so much smarter than our side. ... He's an evil genius, but to not respect how smart he's been in doing this. ... We cannot run a politician. We will lose."

I've seen this quote before.. thanks for the Reminder. I'm sure Moore would like us to forget all about his big FAIL here.


That's what I mean by "whacked".. he trips himself up with his big Proclamations.. then when he's wrong he Moves on hoping not too many notice.

[betsuni]

88. Moore is wrong about why Trump won in 2016.

He thinks people were mad about NAFTA destroying industrialization (shakes fist at Bill Clinton). Wrong. No evidence trade deals had anything to do with the election, and deindustrialization started many many decades ago and automation is the main cause of job loss.

Democrats have abandoned the working/middle classes in favor of lobbyists from Goldman Sachs. Wrong. President Obama received a record-breaking amount of donations from Wall Street and still regulated financial institutions. Zero evidence Hillary Clinton wouldn't do the same thing.

Hillary will "find a way to get us in some military action" because she's a war hawk to the right of Obama. The Iraq War vote. Kerry, Biden, Edwards, etc., are fine voting for it, but Hillary is personally responsible. She doesn't believe in anything (MM conveniently erasing her whole career working especially for women and children.) She killed the youth vote (LOL did the youth vote come out for Bernie in 2020? NO IT DID NOT.)

People were just being mischievous when they voted for Trump. (NO, they voted for him because of white identity, all the data says so.)

All he got right is there are angry white men out there, which is why he wrote a book in 2001 called "Stupid White Men." This is not new.

[Cha]

89. Moore has a Narrative and Sticking to it.. Facts

be Damned. We've seen this before.

Moore really slipped and showed himself when he Proclaimed "Obama would only be known for being a Black President.."

Michael Moore Slams Obama: HIstory Will Only Remember You Were a Black President ..

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10025513223

No Moore.. as much as you wish it to be true.. President Obama will be remembered for being an excellent President.

MM has bush blood & trump blood on his hands already.. and that's not enough for him.

Yeah, Thank you, Moore conveniently erases Hillary's Record & the Proven russian interference & other assorted RF of why trump got rigged in. It's All Hillary's fault.. he's not the only one who did that.. & by Jove 4 years.. Karma came calling.

[TryLogic]

60. Heads up! This looks like a divisive effort. Don't fall for it.

[Cha]

90. Yeah, MMoore is as Divisive as HELL.

[SpaceNeedle]

62. Michael Moore needs to go on a diet and hit the gym

or he is a walking time bomb for a coronary.

He should think about his health before the nation or he won't be around until Nov. 3

[BadgerMom]

64. The comments/criticism he's getting on that thread are a beautiful thing to behold.

[betsuni]

77. I'm really enjoying it!

The emperor has no clothes.

[Cha]

91. Decided to venture over... got The Hoarse Whisperer here &

Victoria Brownworth..

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

And, "The Establishment"!

Oh, moore was on chris hayes, of course.

[betsuni]

92. The Establishment is a really good one.

The big scary diabolical enemy that's the true roadblock to progress and out to get "progressives" by working against them and stupid and rigging and blah blah blah.

[Cha]

93. Exactly.. Love the Establishment! Bunch a patriots in the Dem Party..

[betsuni]

94. The base.

[Cha]

78. Thanks for telling us that, BadgerMom.. I don't have

the stomach for that now.

As well he should be... It's All Hands On Deck & MMoore is In the WAY

We have an Election to WIN from a nazi enabling FASCIST.

[jcgoldie]

67. I think he may have missed a couple of waking moments when he was typing that trash

Way to stick it to Trump.

[betsuni]

70. Does anyone know what he's talking about? Is it about one version of a Medicare for All bill?

The magic one that is supposedly the only "health care is a right, not a privilege" and nothing else is universal health care? (Ignoring that Democrats have consistently said that it's a right, not a privilege and have fought hard for universal health care for many decades.)

Or another "Waaah, Teh Centrists aren't doing what we demand! I'm not going to play with you anymore and I'm telling my Mom you were mean to me."

[JI7]

74. So Michael Moore is bitter from the Primary ? And what do you mean

"the way we and our primary candidate were played" ?

Sanders lost . He Did not do that well in the first 2 states with Pete Buttigieg either beating him or coming close to him . And he had been running for 5 years straight.

[betsuni]

79. I thought candidates must earn votes and not expect coronations, crownings, anointing and so on.

That's what I heard. "Played."

[smirkymonkey]

86. I despise him.

I do not care what he thinks or has to say. He means nothing to me and neither do his opinions.

[roman88]

87. MM is an embarassment to MI

And I say that as a Michigander. A true disgraceful loser

[Bettie]

96. In the past he made some great films

in recent years, he's gone kind of around the bend, off the rails.
