I read a piece by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown in the London Independent that
made my blood boil.

Fat, slovenly, left-wing radical big-mouth Michael Moore pontificated
to a London audience that the victims of 9/11 on the hijacked planes
were wimps and if only more bad-***** black gangstas had been on board …
"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, who as we all know take no disrespect
from anybody."

Notwithstanding Moore's myopic and inaccurate stereotyping, he seems
to have overlooked the real hero passengers who DID attack the
hijackers and aborted one of the terrorist missions with a Pyrric
victory that cost them their lives.

Teddy Roosevelt noted:

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the
great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Brown writes, "God save us from such stupid white men, especially now,
when in the US and the UK, black people's lives are being ripped to
shreds by drugs, lawlessness, fear and frightful violence plus the
endless circle of racism, exclusion and incarceration. This is not
awesome, Mr. Moore; it is a calamity, for descendants of slaves
unimaginably more so."

Using Moore's monumentally flawed reasoning, every black ghetto and
high-crime area suffering the epidemic of drugs, lawlessness, fear and
violence must be the fault of gutless black men? Scaredy-cats
intimidated into sheep-like submission by inarticulate bullies and
gangs lacking the stones to confront their tormentors.

As Moore rants about "how the passengers on the planes on 11 September
were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white," he conveniently
ignores the obvious collorary that residents in high-crime areas must
be wimpy scaredy-cats to allow criminals to rule with unchecked
violence.

You can't have it both ways, Mikey (you sanctimonious bubble of pus).

Talk about racist bovine excrement! Classic double standard liberal
claptrap. Can you imagine if Clarence Thomas or J.C. Watts had even
suggested anything so outrageous? ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, CNN, New York
Times, WashingtonPost, et al. would flog the outrage for a month.
However, when a left-wing radical
darling pukes racist, stereotypical falsehoods, he gets a pass? It is
sufficiently reprehensible to gag maggots.

It defies reason that this pretentious hack has somehow positioned
himself into any prominence based on one semi-professional documentary
about his inability to interview Roger Smith, then chairman of General
Motors.

Roger Ebert in his 1989 review of "Roger and Me" wrote: "Moore has
struck a nerve with this movie. There are many Americans, I think, who
have not lost the ability to think and speak in plain English - to say
what they mean. These people were driven mad by the 1980s, in which a
new kind of bureaucratese was spawned by Ronald Reagan and his
soulmates - a new manner of speech by which it became possible to
"address the problem" while saying nothing and yet somehow conveying
optimism. Ebert apparently considered Moore a "genius." I do not share
that opinion. However, opinions are like sphincters … we all have
them. Well, Mr. Ebert, this is my modest attempt to think and speak
(write) in plain (arguably too plain) English to say what I mean.

However, what is most galling is the inimitable yet chronic double
standard the darlings of the left enjoy. The selectivity of the
mainstream media in choosing to showcase 'celebrity idiots' when they
endorse the liberal left's doctrine and to completely ignore the
hypocrisy of the defenders of the downtrodden living high and
cheap-shotting anyone who has the misfortune to be even modestly
successful by merit of hard work.

Michael Moore should be placed in stocks at Ground Zero (right next to
Sen. Patty Murray) and free rotten vegetables and animal offal should
be provided to families of 9/11 victims.
