Barely-literate column criticizing Michael Moore

[Cocoa]

this hilarious piece of freeper writing came to the top when I put "Michael Moore" into Google news.

Enjoy...

Michael Moore has found distributors for his film Fahrenheit 9/11 after Disney declined to allow their Miramax Division to handle it. Lions Gate Films and IFC Films will open the “documentary” on about a thousand screens later this month. Showtime is scheduled to bring it to paid television.

Moore’s past “work” is shoddy and anti-American in the extreme. To secure the lifestyle and attention he craves, the man former President George H. W. Bush referred to as “slimeball” seems willing to produce pretty much anything liberal dollars will pay for. And liberal dollars before a Presidential election in November will pay for quite a lot of George Bush and America bashing.

Conservatives consider the “documentary” outrageous, based on widely reviewed early screenings. Moore himself makes no secret of its anti-Bush and anti-military focus – incongruous, to say the least, in a time of war. But bashing all things American has so far been good for Moore’s career.

Though Moore’s Bowling for Columbine was discredited for lies, distortions, and heavily selective editing, it won an Academy Award. In France recently, at the Cannes Film Festival, Fahrenheit 9/11 won a Palme d’Or, along with a record twenty minute standing ovation. France’s opposition to the war, its bribes from Saddam Hussein, and its attempts to become the “leader” of Europe make the Film Festival decision suspect. It is likely that honoring the film resulted from the anti-American feeling of liberal attendees and judges.

1. LOL

ugly and sad

[Bill McBlueState]

2. the writer has a BA in English

wonder which diploma mill sold her that? Sheesh.

[Cocoa]

5. I love her bio

"advanced training as a certified teacher."

What does that mean, that she doesn't have her teacher certification yet?

[MissMarple]

7. "a certificated teacher" Is "certificated" in common usage?

It must be a word because it passed the spell check.

[boobooday]

3. I love how they like to have it both ways

Somehow it is shoddy, ridiculous and HIGHLY DANGEROUS at the same time.

Sounds like Faux News.

What is her thing with quotation marks? She looks like she just "learned" how they make things "sarcastic" and has to "practice" as "much as possible."

4. I just sent her a copy of her letter back

with the word "liberal" replaced by (gasp!) "nigger". It really put her stereotypical hate-speech into context. She acts as if she has done a study on "liberals", (don't replace that word), and her conclusions carry about the same intellectual weight.

The truly sad thing about that woman is that she claims to be a counselor, a master teacher and educator, and a world-traveler. I can only imagine how she treats children whom she perceives to have "liberal" leanings. (shudder)

6. and another thing

obviously, like all good little freepers she spent a whole bunch of words criticizing Moore personally in a long run-on ad hominem attack, and didn't once refute any of the points made by the film.

Typical of the closed-head injury behaviors that the majority of Americans associate with those pesky twisted little freepers.

8. "and is known to her family as a professional student"

That's not exactly the most flattering thing to mention on one's bio... Clearly, this is a disturbed person- very likely living on her family's money.

[yellowcanine]

9. "She has worked in counseling and teaching, but prefers writing."In other

words, she can't get a job so she writes and sponges off her family to support herself.

On edit: Whenever anyone says they "worked in _____________.", that is code for very little experience, probably an unpaid internship at best.

10. Breaking, Michael Moore likes money!

So what does he do, he works hard to produce award winning films. He won an Oscar and Palme d’Or. He makes money the hard way, he earns it.

You'd think conservatives would laud his achievements.

Well only if they approve of the films contents.

11. uh, Fox News gives Moore's "F911" thumbs up -- "a tribute to patriotism"
