Micheal Moore Hates America
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 02:22 PM by noahmijo
Did you guys see this clown?

http://www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com/index.html

Apparently although he wants to come off like he's not all about going after Moore I think the title says it all. It appears as though he's going to use the "I can prove Liberals hate America" theme in this movie that is supposed to pool the blanket over Farenheit 9/11.

I seriously get annoyed with these freeper types that like to claim that we hate America. Personally I love America, I fly the flag outside my house AND I fly the Gadsden flag on a post where all can see (I wonder how many freepers even know what THAT flag is about) but I do not like the direction the country is going and I don't like the damage being done to it by these rw zealots much like the rest of you don't I'm sure.

You know what though? good let this guy release his movie, let him utilize the same 1st amendment rights Moore employs.

Then we can sit back as people with that kind of time on their hands point out he uses the same editing techniques that Mike uses branding him a total hypocrite and if he uses any kind of "facts" that can be proven wrong.

Also let's be honest, do you really think this guy's quiet little movie is going to do better or be more groundbreaking than Farenheit 9/11?

Ooohhhh big rebel, we'll see how many interviews YOU dodge when your movie comes out.

1. Sorry don't care but could do without the headline which can be copied
as such and shown to have come from DU.

7. You know somethin deeprig?
I've been on DU for a couple of months now and I'm still not 100% sure what a freeper is but I think it's someone from Free Republic.

One thing I'm sure is on here you mention the words freeper and every regular knows you mean a neo-con of some kind.

5. I don't know where to start with this guy
First, he MISSPELLS "Palm d'Or" in his one-sheet for his film. That's what I call reeeeel good research and attention to detail.

Then he claims to "deconstruct" documentary filmmaking to show how it's all manipulation via out of context quotes and other tricks. Uh... wouldn't that apply to his documentary too?

Maybe I'll make a movie "Michael Wilson Hates America", then someone can "do" me.... LOL!!!!

12. Read Camus' "Letters To A German Friend."
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 03:14 PM by HuckleB
It's a wonderful response to those who tell you that you don't love your country.

A quote...

"This is what separated us from you; we made demands. You were satisfied to serve the power of the nation and we dreamed of giving ours her truth…."

– Albert Camus, “Letters to a German Friend”

----------

As for this guy, he's clearly just trying to make a fast buck. It is hilarious that he calls himself a rebel, when what he's doing is following in the footsteps of, and working for, those who want to keep the status quo so very badly.

24. Oh my, what a great quote and cite!
Those Letters are FANTASTIC!

Would you happen to have a link to the copy on the web? I looked and looked and looked and couldn't find one.

If not, off to the library I'll have to go.

25. Sorry, couldn't find a link either.
I tried and tried, as well, when I posted that.

I've had "Resistance, Rebellion, and Death" in my library for years. Those letters speak to me. In fact, I wrote a rather extended dissertation on them at the end of my rhetoric series in undergrad, all those years ago.

Salud!

18. I don't love America because...
1) Of all the shit the US ruling class has done in the name of power, money and hegemony
2) I see myself as a Human Being, not an American.

Traitor-baiting, red-baiting, terrorist-baiting, it's all part of their game. It's not that they're any worse than their counterparts in other countries - or if they are, it's only because they can/have to to maintain their position as king of the dungheap.

There are great things about America and Americans. There are also great things about every other country and people. But the whole "national pride" is a trap to keep us separate from our real allies... each other.

19. I love America....
... I just hate what lowlife fools (like most freepers) have done to it. They no more understand the principles on which this country was founded than they understand particle physics.

Unfortunately, you cannot teach a 3 year old physics and you can't teach a freeper to understand all the brilliant principles written into our constitution and bill of rights, because they are scared and they'd rather toss it all than face terrorism straight on and righteously.
