Fifth Column
Michael Moore to target Bush and bin Laden
2003-03-30
Fresh from his Oscar ceremony tirade against a 'fictitious President' fighting a 'fictitious war', alleged documentary-maker Michael Moore has said he is setting his sights on the alleged links between former President George Bush senior and the Saudi family of Osama bin Laden. Moore, whose fiction exploration of US gun violence, Bowling for Columbine, is one of the most commercially successful documentaries ever, said his new film, tentatively titled I'm Such a Dumbass Fahrenheit 911, will examine what has happened to the US since 11 September. The film will look at the alleged 'murky relationship' between Bush senior, controversial defence investment firm the Carlyle Group, and the bin Laden family. According to Moore, the former President had a business relationship with bin Laden's father, Mohammed, who left $300 million to his son. Although the bin Laden family has severed its ties with Osama, 'the senior Bush kept his ties with the bin Laden family up until two months after 11 September,' Moore claimed.

Moore, who has carved himself a role as terror apologist and appeaser dipshit critic-in-chief of the US administration, said he has no regrets about making a fool of himself turning his Oscar acceptance speech into an evisceration of Bush junior. 'If I had won the Oscar for a movie about birds or insects, I'd say something about them,' he said. 'But I made a movie about leftist perception of violence — and global violence — so I felt I had to say something about that. I just hope I generated a discussion about Bush and the war.'
"Ethel, take a look at this."
"Oh, my, Merle, who in the world is that fat-ass?"
"Dunno, but he's gettin' an Oscar for summthin"
"What's that screeching sound?"
"Susan Sarandon?"
"Be serious, Merle."
"Some sorta speech."
"I thought they were supposed to thank people."
"I don't think this guy thanks anyone."
The choice of Moore's new subject — the relationship between the arms industry, the Bush administration and the war on terrorism — could hardly be better timed for a good laugh.
It's hard to spork Michael Moore; he does such a good job on himself.

#13  Hey Anon!

Yep, it's true, they were totally shocked and confused.

I saw a sea of heads all turn as one to look at me, when I shouted 'that's not true'.

THe 5th time I shouted it they realised what was going on and the one in front of me told me to go home. That's all she could think of to do.

The police loved it, thought it was a huge laugh.

After, some protestors came to ask me why, and I got to explain some facts to them.

It was so funny, the funniest thing I've ever seen or done. I thoroughly recommend it. I rented the megaphone for AUS$50.

Can you say "box office poison", Mike?

#6  Michael Moore is digging his own grave...his last movie might have been garnered some popular acclaim, but this new one sounds destined to miserably fail...I say let him make it and be ever after resigned to interminable obscurity.

I am disappointed in Mel Gibson for producing this film, though...c'mon Mel, be a good Aussie, for Christ's sake!

#5  Let's start a rumor or six... like:

"Michael Moore is secretly a Jew, and hates Bin Laden and his family".

"Michael Moore is doing this to make Islam look bad."

"Michael Moore is a jerk that seduces Muslim women with liquor and chocolate."

"Michael Moore is an idiot, and can't tie his own shoes without help".

Oh, wait, we can't use that - that's true.

#2  Somebody should get their home DVC and shoot a home-made doco on Michael Moore.

That is the way to smash these goons. You need to get the dirt on them, but obviously from the grass roots, not slick like the network establishment. They can only be undone by those poorer and less professional than themselves or else it plays into their conspiracy theories that the elite is against them.

Just try it, it works.

Try renting a megaphone and go with a black friend to an anti-war rally and shout "that's not true" at punctuation points in the speaker's lies.

You will REALLY get teh public's attention.

How do I know this?

I did it last weekend.

#1  Michael Moore has no redeeming professional or human qualities. His treatment of the "murky relationship" will follow standard far-left "reasoning" on this subject, relying heavily on innuendo, circular reasoning, and the presumption of guilt; that is, a classic connect-the-dots conspiracy theory of the kind pioneered by Joseph Goebbels and the John Birch Society. Good company you keep there, Mike. The far left's headlong charge into the deep reaches of the conspiracy batcave is one of the great under-reported political stories of the last few years. Revered leader Ramsey Clark, for instance, is a raving moonbat conspiracy theorist on the same level of logic as moon landing denialists and flat-earth proponents. He alleges, for example, that US troops massacred many thousands of civilians in Panama in 1989, and that present US policy is rooted in dark right-wing plots that go back to the 19th century. Interestingly, Clark was attorney-general of the United States at the time of the Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinations in 1968, essentially J. Edgar Hoover's boss. Yet, he has never been named as a suspect in any of the left-wing conspiracy theories surrounding those two murders and is practically the only major office-holder of the time who hasn't been. We may infer our own theory from this, that there is loyalty among moonbats and they protect their own.
