The House That Zelmo Built

"If Michael Moore had had his way, Slobodan Milosevic would still be the big man in a starved and tyrannical Serbia. Bosnia and Kosovo would have been cleansed and annexed. If Michael Moore had been listened to, Afghanistan would still be under Taliban rule, and Kuwait would have remained part of Iraq. And Iraq itself would still be the personal property of a psychopathic crime family, bargaining covertly with the slave state of North Korea for WMD. You might hope that a retrospective awareness of this kind would induce a little modesty. To the contrary, it is employed to pump air into one of the great sagging blimps of our sorry, mediocre, celeb-rotten culture. Rock the vote, indeed." ~ Christopher Hitchens - Unfairenheit 9/11


I don't think anybody could have worded a critique any better than this. I have to laugh at the liberal sheep out there who buy into every word that Michael Moore says as gospel, when the man himself has stated time and time again that what he does is 'comedy', and is therefore not to be taken seriously because of its inaccuracies. I laugh even harder whenever I'm confronted by one of these liberals, after voicing my opinion of the guy and the shit that he says, asking me if I'm "afraid of the truth". Well....no. I LOVE the truth when it is presented to me, even if the truth is ugly and bitter.

What I can't stand are the obvious lies that Fat Mike spews out as political doctrine. The phrase "two wrongs don't make a right" is appropriate in this case. How can one justify accusing the Bush Administration of lying to the American people by using lies to back up one's accusations? It just doesn't add up.

Of course, the Moore-ites will flock to this film regardless and accept Moore's skewed representation of the truth as gospel. And of course, skeptics and Moore-haters alike will flock to the theaters as well to voice their opposition toward the movie and Fat Mike's lying rhetoric. Either way, Moore will still make millions off of this lying sack of horseshit that he calls a documentary. And of course, Liberal Hollywood will praise the film to high-heaven. The Academy Awards will follow suit and will likely award the fat fuck an Oscar next year, and Hollywood will further alienate itself from the average Joe American public; the vast majority of whom are moderates, whether liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, or otherwise. Because you see, only the rich and elite liberal society of this country would allow the slovenly poster-child of extreme radical liberalism to prosper from half-truths and fictional facts.

Why?

Because rich and elite liberal society isn't interested in hearing the truth. They are only interested in what they want to hear, because the truth is too ugly to bear for these pampered vermin; better to live in a fantasy than to have to own up to the ugly truth that Americans are not a very nice people.

And Michael Moore delivers them that fantasy. It would be admirable if it wasn't so damned tragic.



You can lead a liberal to the truth, but you can't make him accept it.
