Just so you know liberals are the new facists. Open your eyes. People can say whatever they want but people in positions of great influence really out to be mindful of its effect. Look at all the bozos that believe what michael moore actually claims. Theres REAL documentries on how he makes his. How is personally orchestrates and manufactures the points he makes. Like bowling for columbine. He led viewers to believe that if u walked into a bank down south and opened up a bank account you could leave with a gun. The promotion was true but thats the only part that is. Very iconic part of that movie is when he leaves the bank and hold the gun to the sky like see Isnt this crazy! What actually happened was michael moore set this up weeks prior so they could do a background check. The guns arent in the bank as he depicted. Their in a vault on the other side of the state and are usually shipped to the person once everything has been checked out. Michael moore played his im a hollywood bigshot card on a smalltown of about 1000people's bank so they would make an exception for only him. They were thrilled hollywood was in their town and actually wanted to film their bank. It was the biggest thing to have ever happened to that tiny tiny town. It came down to the wire and michael moore demanded that the gun be present there for the day of filming or he wasnt coming at all, They obliged. It was not a fun day for the bank. Several times they had to cut and the tellers be coached about what to say. He even stopped filming when someone said something humorous and told them that "he'd be the one making the jokes". He turns into a maniac when asked about any of this. Even in rare Q&A's he does (which are basically mainly on college campuses) and asked about the virtually unlimited manipulations and distortions he'll immediately silence them before theyve even finished the question. So ya, he lies and hes a hypocrite. He likes to ambush people with interviews and ask question above their paygrade, dont have the proper info handy in front of them to make an official statement and present it to the braindead public that slops it up like hogs. Try to get an interview with him if u really want to see someone squirm

Good argument.

Oh, so open a bank account get a free gun was true? That's probably where you should have stopped typing. Who cares if the gun had to be shipped out? The issue isn't where the guns were being held it was the promotion in the first place.

I would love to see a link for that. (please don't be lazy and tell me to research YOUR claims). -

"Seriously, reading through this board it has become pretty clear that the people that hate Michael Moore vocally wish to silence him, or worse, for holding a view contrary to their own. "
The whole problem with your post is NO ONE IS TRYING TO SILENCE HIM! So your whole post is quite baseless.
Want to know what silencing looks like? Go to Saudi Arabia and start talking on street corner about how the Qu'ran is a load of rubbish. You will see what silencing looks like.
Michael Moore is free to say whatever he wants about our president, or about other politicians That is free speech. Just as other people are free to say what they want about Michael Moore. That is also free speech.
You liberal pansies want to be able to dish it out, but when you receive it back, you cry fowl. Grow up!
I suspect you're a victim of the mentality that has infected university campuses, in which young idiots feel like they have the right to not hear anything that offends them. Or like the Freedom From Religion Foundation people who think they have the right to go through life never hearing someone say "Jesus." There is no right to hear only what you agree with. Get used to it.
"To condemn a man & wish him harm for not sharing your political view is cowardly fascism. "
Not quite. Anybody of any political ideology could wish harm upon those who disagree. I'm not quite sure you understand fascism. Of course, few people do, and it becomes a convenient label people slap on politics with which they disagree.
"Take a moment to wonder what kind of nation you would be living in & how free you would be if you got your wish & were allowed to lock up or kill people that had & voiced opposing views."
But does anybody actually want that? Or are you just giving us a strawman?
The only threat to the 1st amendment I see in American society today are hate-speech codes on university campuses, which are bastions of liberalism, places that love Michael Moore and his politics. Anything people don't want to hear, they call "hate" so as to make it acceptable to silence unpopular viewpoints. That is what fascism truly looks like. -

Isn't that what you just did?
You said hate speech codes on campus.
Said campus's were "bastions of liberalism".
Said they like Michael Moore.
Said people label things hate speech if they don't like it.
You do not like it. Call it hate speech codes on campus. (that were "bastions of liberalism). -

He's just like the rest of the "elite" bashing capitalism while he eatsI mean reaps the great benefits. Have you seen ONE of his homes? Not a minority in sight and like him it's huge! You see, if you c2000an find me a poor leftist in Hollywood who lives amongst the regular folk like we do then I'll pay more attention. There's a saying and until I grew older and started paying my own mortgage and taxes it didn't make sense, the saying goes "I'm not rich enough to be a democrat" sounds laughable right? Well the left claims to fight for the working class and minorities when in fact all they do is screw them over.

I found your quote very intriguing so I Googled it, you know, since it's a popular quote that you've heard several times throughout your life and I found something very interesting
NOTHING. Go ahead and look. I even made the search link clickable for you.

Seems to me that if this were an actual "saying" there would be more people "saying" it. Or at the very least it would come up in an internet search when you search for it verbatim (in quotes).
if you can find me a poor leftist in Hollywood who lives amongst the regular folk like we do then I'll pay more attention.
You should see the homes of some of your heroes on the right. Or is it different when they have nice things?
