    It is not hard to understand Marxian class system. Small businesses are petty-bourgeois. They become capitalist firms from reproduction. A salesman is petty-bourgeois. Moore is not a capitalist any more than J.k. Rowling is a capitalist, he does not own a chain. His products are sold through capitalist firms. He does not own the firms.

    So you agree that you have an agenda, as well? So what's the big deal if people who oppose Michael Moore have a "hidden agenda" ? It's not that well hidden anyway... not everybody is in love with socialism.

    We all have our agendas friend. Some are for the betterment of society and some are not. Most are for profit, above all morality and the common good. Oppose MM all you like if that's what floats our boat. Just don't try and come off as some kind of humanitarian cause, it's rather obvious. Just admit you're willing to take and extract anything from anybody to better your own personal wealth. Don't try and down play it.

    Call it whatever you want. I don't really care. But the man's entire existence is one giant contradiction. No pun intended.

    He is a progressive neo-communist MaO'Bama voting leftist loser, and he is an idiot. I know everything there is to know about Moore. Now, so do you.

    Leftists do not see anything unless the propaganda press tells them to see it and explains what they are looking at.

    If he is biased, then so are his views. Think man, think.

    Of course not. As long as the message is right, we'll ignore just about any behavior from those whom we call a "modern day hero." Just ask Paula Jones...

    If he really wanted to make the world a better place, he'd sell a few of those multimillion dollar luxury mansions and give his money to the less-fortunate. Actions speak MUCH LOUDER than words. Maybe he could get Al Gore to sell his 10,000 SF mansion in Nashville. I mean how much house do two people need? ANd yet there are people starving and shivering the streets... while he and Moore throw another Kobe steak on the fire.

    How did he get rich? You think he made all those movies by himself? You think the gaffer on the the set of Stupid White Men live in a $2 million luxury lake home?

    I think that Moore is a very good political documentarian and the right hates him because he is a very good political documentarian.
    There is more truth in one of his films than you hear from the right-wing media in a year.
    The cons wish that they had a Michael Moore on their side.

    LMAO...But somehow, the Koch brothers and your great white hope, Mitt the loser, and all of the other rich right-wingers who hoard their cash and only ask for more just get a free pass in your hypocritical moralizing, eh?
    If it was up to them, they would throw every American under the bus just to make an extra dollar of profit and then tell them to eat (*)(*)(*)(*) and die.
    Who the hell do you people think that you're kidding?

    Nah, I got it wrong, I didn't realise Moore employed people himself.

    All I can say is that he's done a lot of good with his films, but I have no love for his role as a capitalst.

    Petty Bourgeois doesn't have a concrete meaning, it literally means "small capitalist". That would usually mean the owner of one small business, for example the local restuerant. It gets kind of blurry in the middle.

    Nobody cares about Michael Moore.

    He has shown himself to be a user tool of the Left that wouldn't know honesty if it hit him in face. Why would anyone need to hear / read more Leftie Propaganda.

    Besides, he's another one of those Evil Fat White Males over forty years old, so he is worthless and needs to go...

    That is the Obama future for the Democratic Party, people of color only. Sheesh, everybody knows that.

    This is Warren Buffet's house and he was the richest man in the world, what's your point?

    [​IMG]

    Warren Buffett the Worlds 3rd richest man with $ 47 billion dollars still lives in the same house in the same Happy Hollow neighborhood where he bought the home in 1958 for $31,500.

    Just for perspective, this is Donald Trump's house:

    And this is Al Gore's house:

    Hardly.

    Real wealth, the actual 1% people talk about, begins at $500m. Ready cash, not assets.

    Moores films are loaded with half truths and flat out lies. It cancels out any facts he's portraying. His best film was his first. Ater that he realized he indeed could become one of the people he now claims are evil. He's liberal scum of the most nastiest degree, right up there with Pelosi and her ilk.

    If his words meant anything he would be living in a modest house and donating the vast majority of his wealth. Like someone else said, how can you possibly edit and produce any of your films in Canada when the entire purpose of doing so is to do it cheaper and avoid taxes? What a complete blithering idiot.

    H certainly brings up good points at times but if you don't talk the talk or walk the walk you're an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*), much like any rich liberal. You can't get angry at someone like Trump for being rich when he doesn't condemn what he does. But when Pelosi goes and says it or some rich actor makes a comment, you want to smack other over the head. Pitt and Jolie I can respect because they do their talking with their humanitarian efforts. They don't just sit in their mansions and condemn everyone or just cut checks. They get right down in their and walk the walk.

    Your unlikely to get a straight honest answer out of most of these people because they know your right, but cannot find the courage to admit so.

    "This person is my hero, and everyone who has complaints against him has an agenda to bring him down!"

    Um... No. Hate to burst your bubble, Fraud, but I'm pretty damn liberal over here and still have no respect for Moore - he is incredibly dishonest in his reporting, and his movies are manipulative, untrue claptrap with little basis in reality. This line of thinking is pathetic - you're so absolutely sure of your position that you will rationalize anything that other people say to back it up. Newsflash: Moore is a terrible, dishonest journalist.

    Michael Moore proved he was a corporate sell out when he turned to spite Ralph Nader in favor of the Corporate Democratic Party. Moore is an attention whore, he seeks out controversy and sells it with a spin. He is not a role model he is a hypocrit, he is not a champion of the people he is a money grabbing story teller. When you have worked in the factories, the potato fields, the call centers, worked 60 hours a week and watched your neighbors, who don't work, who claim to be disabled tending their gardens and driving vehicles you cant afford you can speak for the poor and attack the rich, corporate fat cats. The fact is Michael Moore is FAT FAT FAT CAT, no one is scared of him, i would like to see him try and do a days worth of labour, stacking hay in a barn, or working on equipment in a factory. I don't understand why you keep bringing up Michael Moore because he doesn't actually do anything of value when it comes to politics except repeat the mantras of his tribe and make poorly produced conspiricy documentarys.

    He identified an audience that could be pandered to with exaggerations, distortions, and outright lies, and he used that to amass wealth. Nothing new, unfortunately.

    Moore's ethic: "Do as I say, not as I do." I don't hear a lot of "right-wingers" telling people about the evils of wealth and free enterprise like Moore does--which is, consequently, how he gets rich. Therefore, Moore should give away his wealth to be consistent with his stated position.

    To your second point: Please cite where I have given a free pass to "hypocritical moralizing" by "rich right wingers" as you claim.

    I'm not sure that he's such a great documantarian, but he is a darn good businessman. One need only look at his vast wealth and fleet of luxury homes for evidence of his commercial success in the capitalist free market. And though I disagree with his message, I admire and respect his success. He's figured out how to get rich in America and is living the American Dream. Good for him.

    You're right, he made his moronic films all by himself, without hiring a single person. Then he didn't exchange his product for profit:rolleyes:

    The excuses you people pedal to defend outright hypocrisy is mind numbingly stupid.

    Dude, I admitted I was wrong a few posts ago. I didn't realise he hired people.
