speaking of michael moore

I can't stand this guy.... really...ugh!!!
Last week on "Larry King Live" Michael Moore took the high road. He simply could not bring himself to pronounce judgment on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's tirades. “I'm a white guy,” explained the rotund film-maker. “And I mean, you have to ask yourself, Larry, what's it like to be black in America? . . . And I do not believe, as a white guy, that I am in any position to judge a black man who has had to live through that."
Michael Moore's non-judgmental scruples apply only to celebrity victims of Jim Crow lite. A much different set of scruples apply to victims of Stalinism.
“Florida’s Cubans” writes Moore in his book, “Downsize This,” are responsible for “sleaze and influence-peddling in American politics. In every incident of national torment that has deflated our country for the past three decades — Cuban exiles are always present and involved.”
Such a blanket trashing of an entire ethnic group straddles the very dictionary definition of bigotry. Normally the entire Democratic Party would work itself into a collective froth against the villain who spouted such hate-speech. Normally every media outlet in the land would promptly and boastfully ban this bigot from its airwaves, broadcasting the decision between film clips of fire-hoses in Selma, cross burnings, and torch-light storm troopers at Nuremberg.
Moore himself denounces Republicans as “people who hate . . . people who get up at 6 in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they’re going to screw today.”
But in “Downsize This,” Moore was insulting Cuban-Americans (80 percent Republicans), you see. So all is forgiven. So instead of being pummeled as a bigot by the usual media sniffers and snouters, Moore was feted as the guest of honor at the last Democratic National Convention, squatting his gargantuan gluteus in the very president’s box alongside Jimmy Carter.
Then waddling onto the stage at Boston’s Fleet Center to a whooping, hollering ovation rivaling even the one that deafened Fidel Castro when he addressed Harvard Law School and Washington’s National Press Club in 1959, though it was close.
“These Cuban exiles, for all their chest-thumping and terrorism, are really just a bunch of wimps — that’s right, Wimps!” Moore continues in his book. His smear refers to all Cubans who left Cuba but singles out the Bay of Pigs freedom-fighters for particular scorn. “Ex-Cubans with a yellow stripe down their backs,” he calls them, on top of “crybabies.”

If he was REALLY so interested in "health care" when he made his Lamodrama, he would have used the profits from the film to set up non-profit organization geared towards helping low income families with health insurance.
He couldn't tell the truth if it bit him right on the hiney hole.
