Bush May Have Paid Michael Moore to Oppose Him |
Even as Tribune Media Services announced it had dropped columnist Armstrong
Williams after he admitted receiving $241,000 from the Department of
Education to promote 'No Child Left Behind', new allegations surfaced today
that the Bush administration may have paid Michael Moore to oppose the
president's reelection.
Mr. Moore and the White House both deny the charges, but critics point to the
"almost scary" relationship between Mr. Bush's electoral success and the
vigorous efforts of the Oscar-winning filmmaker to tarnish the president's
image.
"The more he attacked Bush, the more Americans loved the president," said an
unnamed spokesman for the American Society of Correspondents, Editors and
Writers. "You don't have to be Oliver Stone to see the outlines of a
conspiracy there. Michael Moore practically handed Bush his second term on a
silver platter."
"The outcry from professional journalists over these pay-for-commentary
scandals is not surprising," the source added. "They violated the
journalistic code of honor. It's appalling to think that these men received
compensation for weaving their biases into their work. Meanwhile, thousands
of hard-working journalists do the same thing every day at no extra charge."

I am not going to buy into this latest propaganda about Bush paying

American's tend to want to look at their President in good faith. When
Clinton was attacked, it helped him. When Bush was attacked, it helped
him. Maybe there is something to be learned here by both parties with
all their negative campaigning.

The trick is - don't deserve the attacks. Clinton did it, Bush failed.

Mr. Moore is truly a great world and American citizen. Unlike those in
the White House and Pentagon, he is not deaf, dumb, and blind!

He wrote:
Dear Friends,
Last night, at the People's Choice Awards, "Fahrenheit 9/11" was named
the Best Movie of the Year. It was a stunning moment for us. And,
somewhere inside the Bush White House, someone there must have been
stunned, too.
21 million people voted in the People's Choice Awards. They chose our
film over "Shrek 2," "Spiderman 2" and "The Incredibles." If we can
beat that many superheroes, surely we can survive the next four years.
I can think of no greater honor for us this year than the award
bestowed upon us last night by the American people. On live television,
with no threat of my remarks being censored or cut short, I thanked all
of you and the rest of our fellow Americans and dedicated the prize to
the parents of our servicemen and women in Iraq, the Lila Lipscombs of
America who suffer so profoundly by the reckless actions of the Bush
administration.

That makes sense if Michael Moore's charges against Bush are ridiculous,
nonsensical, and laughable.
On the other hand, if Michael Moore was the courageous fellow who first
brought the awful truth about Bush to public attention, it would not
have been wise for Bush supporters to encourage him.

Michael Moore isn't in the truth business. He's only out to advance his

Whether or not he *intends* to tell the truth, I certainly agree that in
Fahrenheit 9/11 he very much failed to do so.
However, people like myself who disparage that film usually also believe
the President would not stoop to such underhanded tactics.

Its pretty obvious the Left paid Jabba the Moore. Probably with Soros

Shrug. I dont see any problem with the Williams thing, nor do I see
any problem with the Left paying Michael the Hutt.
