Michael Moore Endorses Obama, Calls Clinton Tactics "Disgusting"
Michael Moore Endorses Obama, Calls Clinton Tactics "Disgusting"
The Huffington Post | April 21, 2008 10:02 AM

Michael Moore endorses Obama in a commentary on his site:

{O}ver the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!


This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!

Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.

But that can't happen. You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war. When you did that you were like Moses who lost it for a moment and, because of that, was prohibited from entering the Promised Land.

Now, Obama is ahead in terms of states won, superdelegates, popular vote, number of celebrity endorsements, and total poundage of celebrity endorsements.

4. well...
I have it on good authority (via another post on this topic) that he's a fat-ass leading crazy people (I'm paraphrasing here), so of course he's not a democrat. All democrats are thin, well toned stepford wives.....;)

2. If I know camp Clinton, the same people that praised MM
when he was exposing Bush, will now be totally dismissive of him, because he won't ignore the bad things Hillary has done.

7. Breaking!!11!11 - Former Endorser Trotted Out Again.
April 21, 2008
Flint, MI

Proving that an endorsement truly is better the second time around, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore again endorsed Presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

"Barack Obama is fresh and new. And that message should not be limited to early February," said Moore.
