17. Michael Moore and his Indymedia groupies
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 10:14 AM by satori
I first came across Michael Moore as a so called spokesmen for the left on Indymedia during the 2000 election for president. In that time I found that the majority of pro Moore and pro Nader voters were anti-Semitic and on a mission to punish the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Moore and groupies think that if liberal democratics such as myself suffer enough under a Republican president that the Democrats will then come back to its liberal values as a party.

I attempted to explain to them that a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush, and that Nader broke his promise to the Nader Raiders that he only wanted votes in states that were not swing states, and I attempted to inform that that for the first time in the history of the dissent movement that Moore and Nader were representing that in 2000 Nader and Moore were in 2000 getting more money from the Republican Party then they were from liberals. In 2000 the Republican Party paid more money for Ads then Nader did for ads that were anti Gore. The Ads were written by the Moore Nader campaign.

Moore and Nader groupies said that Bush was for the Kyoto treaty and would be pro environnment. I explained to them that Bush and his groupies were capable of lying, and that when he got into office that Bush would start a war and that the majority of Dems lean to the right and when they are scared they will shift not to liberal values but more to the right.

They concluded that I was just one of those Jews that was pro Zionist. I was actually not either my religion is Catholic but I am a half Jew in ancestry, and as a pacifist I don't think that we Americans should meddle in the affairs of others in the world, and that Israel is capable of fighting its own battles.
