I was born in Flint, Michigan and raised on a dirt street by loving parents, two sisters and a lot of Green Giant in a can. Click to read Michael Moore, a Substack publication with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
since I don´t know most of the people on that list and I didn´t want to vote for Moore, I had to vote for Ming. I think this was a wise and justified choice.
I kinda like him and think the world needs people like him.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus
Michael Moore is what you get when a brain surgeon transplants a 3 year old's brain into a middle aged white man's body.
I have a lot more Michael Moore jokes, but that one pretty much gets to the point. His material, ALL of it - documentaries and writings are about 5% fact and 95% liberal propoganda. Although I think calling Michael Moore a liberal is something of a low blow to liberals......
Not even liberals are that incompetently stupid. (One word is not enough to describe this anti-American moron, why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is and move to Cuba?)
Copied And Pasted from Buck's link, in case anyone's too lazy/closed-minded to clicky:
"The Truth: In the spring of 2001, I saw a real ad in a real newspaper in Michigan announcing a real promotion that this real bank had where they would give you a gun (as your up-front interest) for opening up a Certificate of Deposit account. They promoted this in publications all over the country – "More Bang for Your Buck!"
There was news coverage of this bank giving away guns, long before I even shot the scene there. The Chicago Sun Times wrote about how the bank would "hand you a gun" with the purchase of a CD. Those are the precise words used by a bank employee in the film.
When you see me going in to the bank and walking out with my new gun in "Bowling for Columbine" – that is exactly as it happened. Nothing was done out of the ordinary other than to phone ahead and ask permission to let me bring a camera in to film me opening up my account. I walked into that bank in northern Michigan for the first time ever on that day in June 2001, and, with cameras rolling, gave the bank teller $1,000 – and opened up a 20-year CD account. After you see me filling out the required federal forms ("How do you spell Caucasian?") – which I am filling out here for the first time – the bank manager faxed it to the bank's main office for them to do the background check. The bank is a licensed federal arms dealer and thus can have guns on the premises and do the instant background checks (the ATF's Federal Firearms database—which includes all federally approved gun dealers—lists North Country Bank with Federal Firearms License #4-38-153-01-5C-39922).
Within 10 minutes, the "OK" came through from the firearms background check agency and, 5 minutes later, just as you see it in the film, they handed me a Weatherby Mark V Magnum rifle (If you'd like to see the outtakes, click here). "

Seems pretty straightforward to me that nothing was staged.

The only thing I could find about the bank story was this article by Andrew Sullivan of the Sunday Times. Dan Lyons of Forbes apparently found that North Country Bank & Trust only gave you a gift certificate for a nearby gun store. Read the entire article btw, it points out several other falsehoods in the movie and his book, as does this article by Spinsanity.
I've got to go with Ming because of his constant overuse of the word 'chill' - how early 90s!
Good call on Hannity though, Berzerk - that guy is flat-out annoying. O'Reilly is just a diva. Al Franken's big sin is that he just isn't funny. When I see Franken, I just feel embarrased for him.

- "... over 10 members raised complaints about you... and jerk was one of the nicer things they called you" - Ming
i do have to admit hannity is kinda annoying. he's such a bush/republican apologist, up to the point where he himself distorts the truth to defend them.
case in point, he mentioned that the war in iraq was not preemptive, but rather a "resumption of hostilities"--if that really is the case, then, why would the administration go through all of its contortions to justify preemption, particularly at west point?
he drools like a little schoolgirl over bush and coulter and other conservatives, while interrupting liberals on his balanced show.
Buck - I'd stand corrected if I could believe Moore, but I saw a little old lady who worked at that bank and she said his description was not how it works. She said people don't walk out the door with guns. So, apparently what Moore did WAS out of the ordinary...
The 2 Michaels (Moore and Savage) are the worst. While Moore is the lying propagandist, Savage represents the ignorant self-grandizing a-hole. Whenever the clock hits 4PM, I switch my radio from 910 to 810.
Matt Drudge ranks third on my list for his incessant boasting that only he represents the total absolute truth,
Seems pretty straightforward to me that nothing was staged.
What? Just because he says so?
Yeah, pretty much. It's his word against the disprovers'. I guess I'll just have to go down to that bank and find out for m'self.
