(62,325 posts)I thought you said MM had only just started to have an interest in Climate Change and had never spoken about it before THIS election?? I responded to that and provided two examples from several years ago.
I think two examples are more than enough generally speaking. Do you expect me to post every single word MM has ever said about the issue? How ridiculous, really. I proved you wrong. He did NOT just develop an interest in this issue last week or the this week. THAT is what you claimed.
No one is putting words in your mouth. I read what you say and respond to that. The fact is that MM has always been supported by Democrats and still is. Your position is not typical of Progressive Democrats on MM and that is a fact. I have argued for years with Right Wingers in defense of MM who they wanted eliminated after Fahrenheit 9/11 and Sicko and then Capitalism A Love Story and frankly you are using their talking points against him whether you know it or not.
It just brings back years of bad memories of trying to defend someone who had the guts to not just speak out against Bush, but to put his career on the line to do so, unlike our shameful 'News Media'. He did it because they would not. In return he and his family received death threats and he had to hire protection. But I don't recall too many others having the courage to speak out against Bush and his policies.
Your attacks on Moore in this thread are hyperbolic, vitriolic, untrue for the most part except that yes, he does have a weight problem which he is struggling to address and is providing a very good example to other people suffering with the same issue. It's a shame that you chose to go there frankly.
