>I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying

>And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you

>weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you
>had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING
>DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

>On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was

>There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to

>Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this

>and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all

I dont like Michael Moore one bit, he's just one of those people who is going to find a problem with every little thing Bush does and whine about it, plus he thinks the Iraq war was for oil, which it certainly was not. He fits too well into the political game of propaganda and ******** that i despise so much.

[Ummon]

Michael Moore is an astute propagandist, whose opinions I do not share.

[eltrevo]

In my opinion the war for Iraq WAS for Oil and was a mistake thats costing the U.S. Hundreds of Lives evrey single week.

[Boudicca]

I am currently watching CNN. Seems like help is finally arriving.

And Mr. Moore shouldn`t expect too much of the president. It might be the best thing not to visit the sites one or two days after such an event. It would only disturb help efforts, as the president certainly needs security. Imagine Geogre arriving in New Orleans requesting half of the already troubled police forecs for presidential protection.

[carthage_hanibal]

if you read the letter he does make some valad points but the problem with new orleans was that nobody knew the levee would break. It did and now people are stranded. The fact that bush did cut funding to maintain the levee is unfortenate but this is hind sight. which happens to always be 20/20. I really doubt bush even read the letter. Michel Moore will probibly never get a response... if he did... well it would be interesting.

[eltrevo]

yeah, it would be for him to SHUT THE HELL UP for how this country is going to hell because there are too many reasons to list here.

[Erik]

Yeah, his job is too easy.

[danzig]

Honestly Moore isnt much better then Pat Robertson, they are both the same types of people just Moore doesnt claim god is on his side.

[Valerius Maximus]

offcourse oil interests were part of the reason for the war in iraq..

but back on topic. i do believe that Bush doesn't really care about those people who lost everything in the hurricane, nor in my eyes does he care about the soldiers that die in Iraq. that's just the impression i get from seeing and hearing his speeches and comments.

and what M Moore does isn't propaganda, it's satire, exaggerated facts.

[Atheist Peace]

Honestly Moore isnt much better then Pat Robertson, they are both the same types of people just Moore doesnt claim god is on his side.

Or pray for god to smite supreme court justices Pat robertson is much worse.

[PacSubCom]

In my opinion it's very telling that you people talk more about Michael Moore than about what he says. You can't, because he's essentially right.

[eltrevo]

YES! youre right Pac, everything he says is right and someone needs to get rid of Bush before we go to war with another country and lose everything in the stock market.

[nahirean]

While I don't agree with most of what Mr. Moore says, I applaud him for saying it.

[danzig]

Or pray for god to smite supreme court justices Pat robertson is much worse.

Well ok MAYBE he worse but man its close, both are pretty disgusting Guess Ann Courtler would be a more correct comparison to Moore.

In my opinion it's very telling that you people talk more about Michael Moore than about what he says. You can't, because he's essentially right.

Because he says nothing of value? He is purely a propgandist, everything he says is slanted/distortion of fact. He, Courtler, Robertson, most talk radio hosts are prime examples of what is wrong with this country.

YES! youre right Pac, everything he says is right and someone needs to get rid of Bush before we go to war with another country and lose everything in the stock market.

Everything he says is right? Man talk about foolish.

[PacSubCom]

In case you haven't heard it, go to cnn.com and browse the video files. There is a radio interview with Clarence Nagin, major of New Orleans. He's extremely, and I say extremely, ******, and his views are not so much different from Michael Moore's. Of course he doesn't talk about racism, but he cannot understand that a military and senate that goes into Iraq is not able to get more relief into New Orleans more quickly. Where are the helicopters? It's a good question.

[Atheist Peace]

Well ok MAYBE he worse but man its close, both are pretty disgusting Guess Ann Courtler would be a more correct comparison to Moore.

Yeah that is probably about right, although Coulter pisses me off a lot more, but thats probably because im liberally biased.

[Erik]

That's because he is "essentially" right, but the picture he draws is false.
It's very difficult to attack his statements because word-for-word it's the truth but the story he tells is often a lie.

Rush Limbaugh often used the same tactic, but I think Moore is better at it.

[Flyingfurball]

@ Eltrevo actually, we are not losing hundreds of lives every week, we have only lost 1800 soilders or so. (I dont know the exact number, but its more then 1000, less then 2000, or the media would be talking about that more then katrina.) So, we would have lost 1800 in 18 weeks, 4 1/2 months, we have been there WAY longer then that.

Also, What good is Micheal Moore doing? He's complaining, like a little child, but sadly, its not going to get him anywhere. If he put his money were his mouth is, that would sure help alot.
What would kerry have done in the event of a terrorist attack?
What would Clinton do?
What would Hillary do?
(actually, wasnt there a terriorist attack just before bush entered office? I saw it on 9/11 revealed, but I dont remember the details :/)

I agree with you though, on the point that Moore should stop complaining about it, and do something helpful.
America isn't going to hell.

There were many articles about how the levees would not hold against a 4 or 5 class hurricane, so in part it was Bush/The officials of Louisianna's fault.

[danzig]

Not suprisingly he had little to say on his and the governors lack of preplanning to deal with the initial emegency until FEMA and co arrived.

Yeah that is probably about right, although Coulter pisses me off a lot more, but thats probably because im liberally biased.

Yeah understandable there, Coulter bothers me less because of my own views both neither do the country any good in their twisted view on things. The funny thing is so many people get so uptight over them, all you gotta do is quote Coulter to liberals and they go nuts, quote Moore to conseratives and same thing...its exactly the response both want imo. If they didnt incite people to hate them or worship them they would have to get a real job.

On side note I wonder how many of these people placing blame for the hurricane have put up money to Red Cross or other agencies. My guess is too busy pounding at their keyboards to make it a political issue to bother signing off a check.
