Michael Moore: Master Propagandist and Brilliant Pitchman

Bob Newman

Michael Moore, that bloated sack of leftist protoplasm who made scads of money on his masterfully misleading "Bowling for Columbine", is all over the television and Internet, whining like the loser slob he is because Disney says it will not distribute his new project, "Fahrenheit 9/11". (The film wants you to believe George Bush and the Republican Party are in cahoots with Osama bin Laden and his family and that the attacks of 9/11 were all part of that vast right-wing conspiracy. No, really.) Disney does not want to upset its customers with more bogus tripe from a socialist rabble-rouser, which Disney says might cost the company customers in the long run. Moore and his mindless minion say it is censorship and a conspiracy between conservatives and Disney.

Disney in a conspiracy with conservatives. The company that is so proud of its "Gay Day" at Walt Disney World.

Right.

Moore, a master propagandist equal in skill to Leni Riefenstahl (Hitler’s remarkably talented propaganda filmmaker), is a shrewd and brilliant marketing expert who knows how to make money by plugging his films as being controversial and way to the left. This whole thing, of course, is a setup by Moore to sell his film (which will definitely get a distributor) like hotcakes before the November presidential election. He admits that it is crucial for him to get his film distributed before November so he can further galvanize the radical, screaming, wacko left against George Bush and his fight to defend this nation in the war on terror.

Moore, who gloats on his website that the Cannes Film Festival will be showing his new “documentary,” says: ”The non-fiction film revolution rolls on!”

The very idea of a Michael Moore “documentary” being non-fiction is absurd. True documentaries are factual works meant to inform. Moore’s films are deceitful works that blend some facts with half-truths, lies, innuendo, misinformation and disinformation in order to influence rather than inform a gullible audience.

Blowhard Moore says this is all about censorship, too. Hey, Bluto: corporations are not bound by law to assist you in speaking your mind. It is up to you and those who blindly follow you down the treacherous path of hatred and lies you have chosen to spread your vile message.

Moore says Disney refuses to distribute his film because Florida Governor Jeb Bush would hold back critical tax breaks to Disney if he did so. This is ridiculous because the governor of Florida has absolutely no control over who gets what tax breaks. Florida tax laws, passed by the Florida legislature, do that.

Moore is a clever fraud whose transparent, anti-democracy, anti-freedom rantings reveal a man who will do and say anything to achieve his goal. But it is Moore’s right to do so and that right, even when it is used to deliver so loathsome a message, must be protected. It is ironic to think so many military men and women have died or been maimed to insure Moore and his invidious ilk can deceive their fellow Americans.

Anyone who respects, admires or takes Michael Moore at his word is a chump who deserves to be deceived and exploited by this self-serving megalomaniac whose only mission is to further enrich himself at the expense of truth and freedom.
