Americans "Possibly the Dumbest People on the Planet"
Michael Moore continues to have unkind words for his fellow countrymen. On his international book tour, the author of “Dude, Where’s My Country?” was asked what he thought of Americans.
Quote
“They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet ... in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug pricks,” he replied. “We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don’t know about anything that’s happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.”

At least he likes the U.S. a little
Quote
“I like America to some extent.”
Bush did it for cheap Arab labor
Quote
“The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich. The U.S. government claims to bring democracy to Iraq; however, no country in the world takes such an assertion seriously. It is an illusion."

Your Peers Are Turning Against You, Mr. Moore
Moore's acceptance speech at the 75th Annual Academy Awards, for which he was roundly booed:
Quote
"On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this.
"I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to — they're here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction.
"We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times.
"We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president.
"We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.
"Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush.
"Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you.
"And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.
"Thank you very much."

More Absolute Stupidity from Moore on the Eve of War
There is so much nonsense the "Letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush on the Eve of War" that you have to read the whole thing. But here are some of the quotes:
Quote
"So today is what you call "the moment of truth," the day that "France and the rest of world have to show their cards on the table." I'm glad to hear that this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having survived 440 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure if I could take much more."
...Lying and conniving? No one does it like Michael Moore...
Quote
"There is virtually NO ONE in America (talk radio nutters and Fox News aside) who is gung-ho to go to war. Trust me on this one."
...Trust you? As of the time you wrote this, polls showed two-thirds of Americans supported the war in Iraq.
Quote
"Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces! If you really want to stand up for America, please send your twin daughters over to Kuwait right now and let them don their chemical warfare suits. And let's see every member of Congress with a child of military age also sacrifice their kids for this war effort. What's that you say? You don't THINK so? Well, hey, guess what -- we don't think so either!"
...Did you ask Bill Clinton to send Chelsea to Bosnia? Why not? And, do you not understand the concept of a all-volunteer army. Would you like the draft to come back? Huh, Mikey?
Quote
"Finally, we love France. Yes, they have pulled some royal screw-ups. Yes, some of them can be pretty damn annoying. But have you forgotten we wouldn't even have this country known as America if it weren't for the French? ... And now they are doing what only a good friend can do -- tell you the truth about yourself, straight, no b.s. Quit pissing on the French and thank them for getting it right for once."
...They also taught the world how to surrender and stand for nothing.

9/11 Bush's Fault?
What a damn idiot! Eight months into office and Moore thinks they did it to get back at Bush! It is reported that the hijackers planned this for two years--well before Bush was in office. And, what about the attempt at bringing down the World Trade Center in 1993? Gee, who was president then? Hmmm...are you blaming Clinton for that one, Michael?
Quote
"Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes' destination of California--these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!"

Repugnant, Mr. Moore
Remember the heroes of Flight 93--Jeremy Glick, Edward Felt, Mark Bingham, Todd Beamer and the rest of passengers--who died while taking down the hijackers and ultimately the plane itself? These are not heroes to one of America's premier idiots, Michael Moore. Here is a rant from his “comedy act” at a London club. I hear that he has repeated this at several venues:
Quote
“the passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men, he claimed, those killers, with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes."

Stupid White Moore
From Moore’s book, Stupid White Men:
Quote
"There is no recession, my friends. No downturn. No hard times. The rich are wallowing in the loot they've accumulated in the past two decades, and now they want to make sure you don't come a-lookin' for your piece of the pie."

The Mantra
Quote
“You know he's [Bush] there illegally. You know he was not elected either by the popular vote or by the vote in Florida.”
“… we know all those facts about Florida and what Katherine Harris did, and the private firm that took African-Americans off the voting rolls and prohibited them from voting. But I've been surprised in this first week how many average Americans were not aware of all of the trickery and deceit that took place in the year before the election to fix it for George W. Bush.”

Yeah, Mike, Nader Won’t Screw it Up for Gore
Quote
“Democrats should be on their knees thanking Ralph [Nader] for running. Rather than taking votes from Gore, Ralph's going to be the one responsible for turning the House back over to the Democrats.”

Bush Addicted to Bubbling Crude that got him Elected
Wants Bush "Paraded in Handcuffs Outside a Police House as a Common Criminal"
Quote
"So what do you tell his parents, hmm? What did he die for? To protect America? No. So what's the reason? What would Haliburton (the US oil giant formerly run by Vice-President Dick Cheney and now helping to rebuild Iraq) say if they knocked at the door? 'Sorry your son died, but I think we're going to get that oil as a result of it. So hey, come on, cheer up. At least Arnie can fill up his Hummer now.'
"It's so disgraceful and so disgusting."
"It's so disgraceful and so disgusting."
Quote
He has just finished a sell-out stand-up tour across the States. The chant that goes up when Moore gets on a roll is: "Impeach Bush." But that's too lenient: "I want him paraded in handcuffs outside a police house as a common criminal because I don't know if there's a greater crime than taking people to war based on a lie. I've never seen anything like Bush and his people. They truly hate our constitution, our rights and liberties. They have no shame in fighting for their corporate sponsors.
"I honestly believe they are putting their toe in the water to see if people will go for martial law. After 9/11 we had hundreds of Arab-Americans rounded up and put in prison with no charges. You know, there's an undercurrent of feeling that we may not even have an election next year. If there is another 9/11 a justification may be used to call it off and instal martial law."
