Michael Moore sues for 9/11 profits after already pocketing $19.8 million

I get what you're saying. You are all for captialism and entitlement unless it's a liberal and/or Michael Moore.

Gotcha.

That's right, this asshole doesn't need any money....it's should go to the poor.

Gotcha.

You fail to understand the irony of this story.
 
Though I'm a Christian, I would like the thought of Karma grabbing a hold of that shabby marshmallo. Makes me all warm and comfy ya know?

Moore really is a scum bag but he falls into the same category as all other political commentators/entertainers like Beck, Hannity or O'Reily. The only thing different is his opinions. I'm sure if Beck filed a lawsuit over perceived shortcomings in royalties from his next book many here bashing Moore would all support him simply because they agree more with his politics.

Be careful in calling someone a hypocrite you aren't a hypocrite yourself.

No one is calling MM a hypocrite because they dislike him. I'm calling him a hypocrite because he's proven to be one. You can't rage against greedy, rich people and corporations getting millions and billions of dollars and then whine about not being paid more than $13 million for a documentary where money was made off of "poor" people! LOL! Greedy people whining about people being greedy. It's a perfect example of hypocrisy.

Glenn makes no qualms about being okay with people making money. It would make sense for him to complain about getting his money because he's a capitalist. There would be no hypocrisy.

You see?
 
Why don't people like Moore and Penn and Glover just move to Venezuela and Cuba since they adore their governments there so much?

What would they have to whine and complain about then? Besides that, they'd be poor with little chance to make money... the MO here is they have to be able to make millions while complaining about making millions. Can't do that in Cuba or in Hugo's backyard.
 
Like people who bash government programs but gladly benefit from them...

Stephen Fincher received state farm grant in addition to federal farm subsidies » The Commercial Appeal

That's $3.2 million of federal tax dollars given to a guy who ran on bashing people who take government money...

Hypocrisy is practiced by many people of all political stripes...
I never said my parties I'm affiliated with were perfect and didn't do anything wrong, if that were the case I'm pretty sure everyone would be affiliated with the same party for the most part. I just hate this guy, especially since the amount that he has profited, and yet continues to hate capitalism, and it's promoters.

If you actually saw it, you'd know that he doesn't hate capitalism. He hates some of the inherent unfairness that has developed in the version of the capitalist system we've created.

His suit would actually fit in with his view - i.e. - he (and his crew) did the work on the film; but corporations are taking money from him instead of paying him what he deserves.

Thinking that workers deserve a share of the profits from their work doesn't mean you "hate capitalism". It means you think it should be practiced more fairly. Obviously, that's not "pure capitalism". But there really is no such thing.

However, claiming that government bailouts are evil - and then taking them - is (to me) more hypocritical. Because that's much more black and white.

Basically you said he hates capitalism to a certain extent.

Damn it!!!! Will you quit being so rational and logical????

Not at all; I said that he thinks that workers deserve credit for their work. That's not "hating capitalism". That's suggesting that people deserve to be paid fairly for their work.

Do you think capitalism is about NOT paying people for their work?
 
I love Michael Moore and swear I would merry him tomm if given the chance. Oh wait he is already married:2razz:

The man is brilliant! I do not understand the hate this man gets as he just keeps it real. I love him.

Cause they love the U.S.A. Stop hating on folks.
 
This story like so many other threads are corp. news media control. What is the newsworthy value of this? Nothing. No one died, it didn't change the lives of Americans, it has no bearing on the public, its just crappola we've come to expect from a dumbed down consumption society. News about nothing.

I truly love the liberal "do as I say and not as I do" logic.
