[Kurovski]

7. Hey baby! I didn't know his maw was a Republican!

Do you think he's a double-agent or something? :loveya:

I hope you've been taking good care, sweetie. :hug:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

34. I have

and you?



edit: this is a post and run.. grandson is in the house :) we're making cinnannannamon rolls

[Kurovski]

35. Don't gimme that crap, you're too young to be a gramma.

:*

Somehow...I'm still alive, thank you for asking.

[joshcryer]

6. K&R

[joshcryer]

8. Regarding Academy award speech: "It didn't go over as well as the Elk's club speech."

:rofl:

[annabanana]

9. He sure deserves the time and the audience. . . . .n/t

[annabanana]

10. I didn't realize the extent of the attacks on him after the Oscar speech.

He really took in on the chin for telling the truth. We owe him a debt of gratitude.

[joshcryer]

11. Talking a lot about the abuse he recieved after the Academy speech.

One of his security guards got 2nd degree burns because he jumped in front of a hot coffee assault.

[Kurovski]

12. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd ask him about DU...

"Mr. Moore, are you familiar with Democratic Underground.com, and what is your opinion of the site? Who is your favorite Jonas Brother?

[joshcryer]

13. First really hostile caller, Michael Moore handled him beautifully.

He asked about Michael Moore's editing about a politician dodging a question about sending a son to war, where the politician said that a cousin or nephew was in the war, etc. Michael Moore explained that the question wasn't "do you have some family member in some other part of your family in war" it was specific "would you send a son or daughter to war?"

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. He always handles his enemies well

I love the way he handled the man with the anti Michael Moore website who needed help paying for his wife's health care.

[annabanana]

15. The guy's quick on his feet for sure. . . n/t

[Kurovski]

16. And he thanked him for the question.(nt)

[joshcryer]

17. Michael Moore is an extremely gentle soul.

Amazing how he deals with the vitriol so regularly.

[Kurovski]

18. "We're in a depression, and have been"

Paraphrase

[joshcryer]

19. Interesting change of views, "not all unions are good" and "nothing wrong with factory farming."

Now, it's "unions are better," and "I've stopped eating red meat."

I don't like factory farming, never have, but I do think unions, even the good ones, can come on the wrong side of important issues.

[joshcryer]

20. Wait, I thought Michael Moore was an atheist?

Interesting take on his "religious beliefs" that he's espousing here, but it could be a prescriptive thing? I dunno, it's ambiguous.

(I think an atheist can attend mass and enjoy gospel music if they wanted too.)

[Kurovski]

26. I'll vouch for the fact that if you are raised in a religion...

you can maintain the best lessons. It's part of you, at any rate.

[sfpcjock]

21. Still on and 1.5 hrs left. He is still brilliant, so watch -- k&r

Thanks for posting.

[joshcryer]

22. Yep, loving it, really fascinating (I love the personal stories Moore has). Shame I'll miss last hr.

Will have to catch the last hour later on.

[sfpcjock]

36. It is online now. I just listened to the first half (that I missed)

23. Talking about his health, going 80% vegetarian, gym, walking, etc. I'm so glad.

When I saw him initially I felt bad because I felt that his health wasn't so great. I know he's a big man and there's nothing wrong with that, but we want him to have another 30-40 years!

[joshcryer]

24. "American's are quite liberal. We should be sympathatic to conservatives."

"Realize you're in the majority."

Powerful position.

[joshcryer]

25. "To conflate muslims with terrorists = is to say McVay represents all whites."

Seeing two posts today doing this same shit here on DU. Mind boggling.

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. I LOVE Michael Moore. How could anyone dislike this man?

He's my hero and a National Treasure. :loveya:

This has been a fantastic interview.

I just finished his book, "Here Comes Trouble" last night. What a FABULOUS, WONDERFUL book. This man has been doing this since he was 16 years old! He's been standing up for the little guy forever. He's a true humanitarian.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. G-d love this man. He donates 50% of his profits to libraries across the U.S.

:loveya:

[Graybeard]

32. And he helped booksellers in Mich.

Michael asked those who could afford to pay full price for this latest book to purchase it from a book store in Mich. and he gave their websites. (They were signed copies.)

[kittykitty]

29. Danm! I thought it was at 3pm. Now i'm watching the last 10 min. I hope it repeats............

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. It does repeat! Tonight 11:00 PM CT. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. He goes to his apartment in NYC for PEACE and QUIET because he's so involved

[Graybeard]

33. Great interview.

And Here Comes Trouble is a wonderful book.
