(135,425 posts)He's a capitalist of the first order, an obscenely wealthy man, and that's fine and dandy. He's not terribly philanthropic, and that is fact, too. He's free to make money, keep as much of it as the tax man will let him, and preach to his loving acolytes, and I am likewise free to make comments that suggest I don't buy his BS. If you don't like my views, don't subscribe to them.
He did plenty to divide the country, and his 911 film probably didn't help "the cause" as much as you might think. He didn't really cover a lot of new ground, he just drew the lines more sharply....and tell me, refresh my memory... who won the election after that film came out? Was it...John Kerry? Why no, it wasn't.
MM doesn't "wake people up" anymore, he hasn't so done for some time--he preaches to the already-converted.
You'll notice everyone but me is whining about his weight if you bother to read this thread from stem to stern--so he's fat, big deal. I find his bloated lifestyle and entitled attitude more of an issue, frankly. But hey, it's a great canard, and a good "go to" point to distract from my central thesis, a thesis which is mine alone and I don't require you or anyone else to take onboard.
What I find amusing is the unrelenting desire by many here to silence my differing view, rather than simply saying "I differ" and moving on--instead, I'm getting personal insults, snark, childish and petty comments--it's rather revealing.
Gee, I don't support a guy who has trashed Democrats in the past and who DID NOT SUPPORT our party's premier environmentalist for election--but now I'm supposed to buy his stupid little cheap ass facebook graphic and bow and scrape to the rumpled "master?"
I don't think I'll do that, thanks anyway. I'm not buying what that guy is selling.
