  • what the fuck is michael moore smoking? right like your gonna call reception and they arae gonna tell you yeah hugo chavezs is up stair. THAAT DOESTN HAPPEND!!!!!!!

  • You know you have to trust a man when he's wearing white New Balance shoes!

  • PROOF (we ) Canadians ARE smarter LOL

  • loved farenheit 9/11

    i basiclly hate george bush even more noww, fuck him

  • The alternative to Capitalism is Equalitarianism.

  • gee, working harder for less? could it be from huge government sucking up people's wealth for affirmative action programs? could it be we're getting less productive thru fat union pensions? no great surprise fat bastard sucks up to dictators like castro and sanchez . jimmy carter revisited.btw, obama bailed out thieves just like bush, in direct violation of any truely free market .

    btw canadian banking regulations are considered CONSERVATIVE not liberal by us canada.

  • I loved the story about Hugo Chavez

  • im canadian, and although overall we are pretty smart, if you ask anyone in my country about another country other than the U.S, I am willing to bet that they will get it wrong. these easy questions are constantly mentioned in U.S tv shows. the only reason americans don't know the answer to these is because canadian culture is never put into american tv shows, movies, etc. Ask a canadian what the capital of spain is and 90 % will get it wrong.

  • Ever see Rick Mercer's "talking to americans"? It's hilly arius

  • Stump a canadian, a game americans will never win (:

  • His story about meeting Hugo Chavez is obviously a lie.

  • everyone who talks shit about fat ass Michael Moore must not realize how much his fat ass has accomplished, this was a awesome example of how dumb americans are and it is because they want us that way so they can fine print us to death. fuck you haspsnap you make no sense.

  • "i love this country" - That is the biggest lie i've ever heard in my life.

    how is michael moore trying to say you might not do well if you work hard?

  • He should make a movie about his fat ass and american fast foud...

  • @Haspsnap 'foud'? Jesus give me strength.

  • @MrRobsheff .. Don't worry i'm not American, but here in western Europe we make an effort to try an understand under countries and there languages. So church lover if you can no make foud into food then go an kiss ur jesus stinking ass.. Don't ask a non exhisting person for strength man, I dont ask freakin Cinderella for a blow job, do I?

    What you americans should do is just listen to Micheal Moore en stop being so stupid..

  • @Haspsnap You asume I'm American? For what reason? I'm actually from the UK. And have no intention of getting into an online argument with someone who's probably 16. Before you start slagging off American's dietary choices I suggest you learn how to spell.

  • @MrRobsheff You just owned him with one comment lol

    Cheers from Canada !

  • I thought moore died long ago after getting AIDS from getting pounded in his fat liberal ass.....

  • @HalfBreedObama ...in a perfect world...

  • @HalfBreedObama You people are pathetic. When you can't beat someone with logic you resort to pathetic petty childish insults. You can't fault Obama so you resort to racial slander. This is why the world laugh at America, and I guess you actually think Capitalist America works in your favor? HA

  • how the fuck can you not find england or the usa on a map? i'm american and that statistic is appaling

  • Bush is el diablo

  • Michael Moore for president! Teach us capitalist Americans not to be so ignorant. . .

  • Becaus ewere right beside each other I guarantee I know more about the US then you do about Canada.

  • Michael Moore is lying about Chavez, he is just a money maker. I am venezuelan and dont like Chavez, but come on !

    facts:

    1 .Chavez bodyguard is actually Venezuelan Secretary of State

    2 .you cannot go and knock a presidents door without surpassing security guards

    3 .Chavez doesnt drink

    4 .Venezuelans drink Whiskey, rum, or beer, we do Tequila only when there is no other alcohol in hand

    5 .He is too stubborn to use a speech written by someone else and would never use one written by an American

  • socialism was a movement of workers, not people that want hand outs for not working.

  • God Americans are dumb shit.

  • Capital of canada he says is quebec ..... O my god.....

    I would have been forgiving if he'd said Toronto, but Quebec!!! Quebec!!!! It;s not even a freaking city and also, not even the correct province of the capital. It's like if I said the capital of America was Texas.

  • @Mudd0000 For what it's worth the capital of Quebec is Quebec city -- So it is alos a city

  • hey here is a crazy idea. STOP LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS! That is the problem. Moore is simply making money off of idiots.

  • Sorry Michael Moore, it is the media that we see in TV or lisn in radio that teach us these information. Every body in the world know about everything in USA.

  • @ahmarico and nobody knows about canada - well, I am European I can answer all the questions about usa and none about canada

  • That Canadian clearly lives in the United States, of course he is knowledged on those questions. If you ask an American those questions in Canada, they would most likely know the answers, too.

  • we don´t have capitalism, we have corporatism.

  • @AlecEmpire It's an amalgam.

  • making friends with dictators...michael moore hits a new low.

  • hugo chavez is not a dictator he is an elected president by the people of venezuela. now the coup he did in the 90's i mean come on how else are you going to come to power in south america.

  • What ever helps you sleep at night. It is a common fact that he terrorizes his country and people feel threatened by him just to speak out against his government. As in communist Russia he makes people "disappear" if they publicly disagree with him. He does not respect freedom of speech or private property and is a totalitarian.

    Also elections don't mean anything if they are not fair.

  • @tacostandballa The coup was quickly fought back and he and his forces surrendered. He never came to power through a coup.

  • M.M., so much courage.

  • Hell yeah, go Canada

  • sounds all good what you people say,but dont think that mixing capitalism and socialism will solve all problems.

    Im from Germany and we have the problems especially because of that intense mixture.Our health care system goes to hell too,theres always a struggle about privatized or non-privatized health care,between classes,there s still lots of envy in the society and the unemployment is quite high.I also think that mixing it up wouldnt work in the US,u guys are used to capitalism.

  • everyone knows the answers to the Qs on america but less people know about canada so that whole stump the canadian thing was a stupid game

  • It would be, but you'd think if Americans were taught international studies, Canada would be mentioned considering its a major trading partner and historically closest ally.

    What I find more shocking is when I know more about American History/Politics than some Americans I meet (Canadian currently studying Med. at Miller Med in Miami).

    For instance, I remember trying to list the US presidents with 6 American student colleagues, and was able to list 32, while they knew 12 to 25.

  • we are sharing a border. i think that we all should at least know the basics on our closest countries. i can bet you i know more about where you are from than you know about my country.

  • Capitalism, and Socialism both, don't work...

    Democratic Socialism (gov. does not run, or own, economy) is the new-age way to go.

  • Interesting.

    Ill go with that. Sounds good.

  • you need a good mix of some capitalism and socialism. thats how you make it work. capitalism is good for the economy but bad for the little person. socialism is great for the people but not good for the economy.

  • Yep ... you have to mix um both together... Capitalism and Socialism together works... we already have that actually... BUT we need to expand socialism in health care... allowing BIG companies to control that for profit is KILLING this country....

  • i agree a 100%! =)

  • @treid100182 Your definition of Democratic Socialism if incorrect. How can you say Socialism doesn't work then say what you said afterwards?

  • @treid100182 You should move to Greece.

  • Democratic Socialism 2028

    Bet on that.

  • well america is a really stupid country.

  • Interview doesn`t really work.

    It would have been better spent talking about the issues in 'Capitalism A Love Story' than trying to make a comdey sketch out of it.

    Why do American talk-shows always treat their audiences as idiots with limited concentration spans who need to be constantly kept giggling? : (

    A.B. Surrey, England.

  • @kcirdrab Sometimes a little humor is ok. Dont ya think ? The Jimmy Kimmel show is Entertainment. When Michael Moore is on Larry king or Charlie Rose. The tone is more serious... Does someone act the same in church as they would in a bar ? No. We adjust how we act based on the venue. We talk to our children differently then we do Adults ..

  • But it should happen as a natural event rather than guests being given a 10 min. slot in which there`s an Editorial audience line of: "keep `em giggling non-stop at all cost or we`ll lose share & ad. revenue".

    Moore`s good at being funny with a purpose when he wants to be, but this interview & the Editorial hoops he was made to jump thru to get on to talk about 'C.A.L.S.' wasted him.

    I`ve noticed a lot of forced humour on USA talk shows like this & it assumes the audience are idiots.

  • @kcirdrab it was for humor. its not a career crusher. Ironically though... It was sarcastic humor because he did prove that Americans are idiots. Americans don't know much about other countries. Education here isnt a priority, Unless the student Pays for it.... Hmmm Americans rank low on Education. Our country is based on GREED and Profit NOW. Cant make $ off of Kids. College is only for those with money. a self destructive chain reaction of priorities moving in the wrong directions. Greed.

  • Radical words DAVIDBZM01, careful you sound like a bit of a revoloutionary there!

  • @kcirdrab Laughs.. I am a revolutionary.. test your neighbor. I know Americans that don't know where our nations capital is... ya know.,

  • love him!

  • I think we all know americans don't care enough to educate themselves about other countries.

    = war with Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • capitalism and free market economy are two completely different things.

  • Socialism and kommusins is a very diferent thing... Socialism works...the other one doesn't

  • congratulations MOOre, you didn´t have to sell your ass to mr. Hugo Chávez, like Oliver Stone! FUCK HUGO CHAVEZ AND IF YOU DOWN WITH HIM FUCK YOU!

    vengan a Venezuela para ver si esta mierda es un paraiso! chavez corrupto hijo de puta!

  • I hate this fat man.

  • Why? Because he is not selfish and shallow? Or because he is smarter than you? Or because he believes in Jesus and you obviously do not, considering your hate comment.

    We ALL know that Jesus taught us that hating is evil.

  • My youngest daughter is in college now and she cant tell me what 8 times 7 equals. She tells me that thats what a computer is for dad.

  • hmmm that is pretty stupid dude, no disrespect :D

    i learn that in second grade :D

  • I think its our lazy teachers in America to blame. They just assign homework and cruise through their work day without making much effort. How many good teachers did you have growing up in public schools? I think I might of had one or two at the most that really cared. Over the course of 12 years of school there must of been a hundred teachers but only one or two was worth a damn. They gripe about making 35K a year. Seems like plenty to me for the amount of work they put into their days.

  • Michael Moore prooved to be a bad liar .....

    Tequila is Mexican not Venezuelan......

    Your lies could have been more credible if you said rum instead of tequila , poor ignorant .

    Do you really think that president Chavez, would get rid of the elite around him and ask Michael Moore to help him to write a speech, oh come on.

    I'm afraid to say that Mr Moore is suffering from serious megalomania.

    Michael, your account has been one those yellow journalists that never heard of ethic.

  • kip872002, playing dumb? the best sold drink in venezuela is whisky! is that a venezuelan product?hell no! that doesn´t mean, that chavez can´t drink tequila. What you don´t understand is, that moore is against capitalism, but he doesn´t necesserely have to support chavez with his dictatorship, watch lista de tascon in youtube, unfortunately is only in spanish. but you will see how chavez treat the opposition!

  • tevamosajoder, u dumb you don't even know that Chavez doesn't drink alcohol...

    You don't even understand that when he say Tequila is a cliché to describe latin american as party animals or stuff like that.

    What i understand is that Moore spend three hope with Chavez and he didn't allow anyone to shoot them cause he doesn't take responsibility for his actions. u should be proud instead of trying to tarnish his reputation.

  • correction :

    What I undestand is the fact that Moore spent Three hours with chavez *

  • fucking chavez, fuera de venezuela maldito dictador! socialismo del siglo XXI= monopolio de estado

  • Heyyy Michael Moore, you missed to ask who was the "bodyguard" that wanted to take out of Chavez room. His name is Nicolas Maduro and actually, his the Minister of International Affairs, besides having this important role in our country, his a Fuking ignorant who's always sucking Chavez's balls

  • neoliberalista tonto!

  • Ron paul got doooped by bruno, hardly a taker!!!!!

  • chavez fucking dictator!

  • Moore is a rebel without a clue.

    Ron Paul Rocks.

  • 100% right!!

  • CHAVEZ is a shyster big time. Not only his administration has squandered $950 BILLION DOLLARS,that's right!,BILLION with a B,in ten years but also in this trip in Venecia,Italy,the bastard spent $7.5 Mill. This is the Venezuelan money and then He talks about rich people are responsible of the people being poor. Double standars?. On top of this He blackmails anyone who dissents from him.

  • Chavez lives like an oligarc! look for hugo chavez family in youtube, he is not a democrat! that ´s the truth.

    Que Michael Moore critique las politicas de gobierno de USA, no implica que se tenga que arodillarse ante el Rey Midas(lo q toca lo convierte en estiercol) de Venezuela, mas de 1.200 asesisanatos al mes,

  • Just like the line in the movie "Full Metal Jacket". "Inside every gook is an American trying to get out". Sort of like self-denying fascists, and socialists. They sit in the comfort of capitalism, while bashing the system that feeds them with opportunity. Cuba and Venezuela are supposed to be examples of how life should be?? Truly comical from people with their bellies full and satisfied via freedom and capitalism.

  • he fat

  • GO CANADA!!

  • but on a further note the world needs more people like Michael Moore

  • no that sounds like something from a film, he did not go to a room to shout about noise and it happen to be Chavez and then they get drunk on tequila in the middle of the night.

    to coin a recent and popular phrase "you lie!"

  • Malditos hijoe putas, mal parios CHAVEZ Y CUALQUIERA QUE LO APOYE.

  • Este show es de lo peor, nunca lo veo por eso, nada que ver con Fox, abc, o cosa semejante. Sinceramente, pensar que el sujeto subio a la habitacion del presidente asi, por asi, es sumamente cuestionable, y tal, el canciller le abrio la puerta. Ahora bien, me sorprende la foto que sale con Chavez, eso seria interesante de saber como paso.

  • jajajaja que risa me das

  • Bush grand father was arrested 3 times for doing dirty business with the Nazis during War World II why are you hiding this FOX criminal liars... While countries like England and France were making millions of almost slaves in Africa... why are you hiding this Fox criminal liars...

  • Chavez did not kill Martin Luther King, nor Kennedy, nor one million people for oil with lies, nor intelligent services sending Anthrax virus letters to its own population while blaming other country, nor 3000 nuclear weapons pointing to all the countries in the world, nor spending extreme corrupted communist 700 billion dollars on military expenditures every year, nor world record of drug addicts, nor CNN or FOX Nazi retarded, nor 13 trillion dollars debt

  • Chavez did not make 50 years of cold war to make billions of poor people around the planet; Europe and USA did it... Chavez did not kill 50 million people in world war II to play the hero and big business with weapons... while making slaves in Africa for example...

  • That bastard Bush I criminal told Sadam that if he invades Kuwait he will respect the sobereign desicion of Iraq then killed 500 thousand people in the war. But before that former president Reagan was talking about make the USA energy independent then after he got shot by someone; the same asshole vice president Bush took charge an they forgot the issue; today thanks to its son and the asshole criminals of the pentagon the USA economy is broke and with 13 trillion dollars debts...

  • Bush Grand Father was arrested three times for making dirty business with the Nazis during War World II; they were selling special gasoline for the combat airplanes. The Nazis killed 10 million people at least but the weapon business during the war killed 50 millon more. Those false heroes are the ones who want to write history and give lessons of democracy; They do not have enough oil but huge debts for at least 200 years; this is why they want to invade to steal natural resources.

  • Michael Moore es muy divertido me encanta cuando se burla de los politicos, especialmente de los mas payasos

    Michael Moore is soooo funny i love it when he makes fun of politicians, specially the most outrageous

  • Mira, pero avispon colombia, no te cagues... deja lo que escribes insultando a los demás... TÚ SI DEBES SUFRIR EN TU PAÍS, DONDE TE EXPLOTA UNA BOMBA A CADA RATO, Y DONDE TE MANTIENE LA DROGA... PAJÚO!.... YO NO HE VISTO VENEZOLANOS EMIGRANDO A COLOMBIA, pero aquí tenemos muchos colombianos refuigiados de esa guerra que promueven los NARCOPARACOS INCOMPETENTES COMO TU DR. VARITO BALAS... así que CÁLLATE LA JETA, NARCOMULA!. Al final tú no representas a Colombia.

  • No se de que hablas viejo yo conozco los 2 paises y la verdad los venecos no trabajan simplemente x que son perezosos y viven del gobierno, y Venezolanos no hay aca simplemente x que no nos mantiene el gobierno ni nos subsidian, si ustedes no tuvieran petroleo simplemente se vivirian en la miseria ya que su pais no produce ni mierda!!!

  • jejeje... cálmate, uribista, PRODUCIMOS PETRÓLEO, Y AHORA LO VENDEMOS A QUIENES NOS DA LA GANA, eso sin contar el crecimiento impresionante en estos 10 años del sector no petrolero. OBVIAMENTE NO CONOCES VENEZUELA, EXCEPTO LO QUE TE CUENTA RADIO CASA DE NARIÑO (RCN) Y EL RESTO DE TUS MEDIOS 'DEPENDIENTES'. Y venezolanos no hay allá porque NUESTRO PAÍS NO ESTÁ EN GUERRA, COMO EL DE USTEDES (POR EL INCOMPETENTE QUE TIENES COMO PRESIDENTE,

  • Uribista Yo ni x el putas, pero si conozco Venezuela y si su pais no esta en guerra pero Caracas es la ciudad mas peligrosa del mundo despues ciudad Juarez, soy una persona muy culta que respeta otros pueblos y que no me gustan los dictadores como los que tenemos en nuestros paises que se creen omnipotentes y otra cosa el petroleo no es renovable y conozco toda la zona de los llanos y la guerrilla ya es parte del pasado tanto asi que solo quedan unos pequenos remanentes....

  • ¿Caracas es la ciudad más peligrosa del mundo?. Me extraña que se vanaglorie de intelectual y venga a decir ese comentario tan pasional y poco racional. Yo tengo estadísticas que siguen mostrando a Colombia como el país más peligroso del mundo, sobretodo por el negoción del narcotrafico que no termina nunca. Caracas sigue teniendo la misma violencia de hace 30 años, no lo niego, pero se le ha añadido una modalidad IMPORTADA DE SU PAÍS, el secuestro express.

  • Usted no se dice uribista, pero repite como lorito el mismo discurso sobre 'el dictador chávez'. déjeme explicarle, Chávez ha ganado, salvo uno, TODOS los procesos electorales a los que ha sido sometido, igual que Uribe, Chávez ha propuesto la reelección continua bajo la teoría del buen gobierno, no solo para él, sino para todo cargo de elección popular, supongo que el doctor varito desea lo mismo, porque anda tras la reelección.

  • QUE TIENE QUE ESCONDERSE DETRÁS DE LOS GRINGOS PARA QUE LO SALVEN -¿no es que las FARC estaban controladas?-). Nuestro desempleo de 8% te debe decir que AQUÍ SI TRABAJAMOS, así que tus insultos contra Venezuela te los puedes ir metiendo por el culo ¿ok?. Tú sabes de lo que hablo, pero tranquilo, puedes hacerte el loco, al final la verdadera Colombia no eres tú... tú eres solo un producto mediático.

  • Me encanta hablar con personas con tanta pasion, trabajo hay subsidiado, gasolina hay subsidiada, el costo real para que usted lo sepa de los productos colombianos que ustedes consumen son el triple de lo que en este momento pagan si no fuera x eso se moririan de hambre al igual que muchos de nuestros pueblos latinoamericanos, aterrice no viva en el limbo y no sea ignorante que yo ni uribista, ni chavista soy, yo pienso x mi mismo y para lo unico que veo RCN es para ver el futbol colombiano

  • Y si la guerrilla es parte del pasado ¿PARA QUÉ LAS BASES ESTADOUNIDENSES?. Perdóneme, está desmintiendo a su propio gobierno, señor 'intelectual'. Y más pasional es lo siguiente: EN VENEZUELA NO EXISTE TRABAJO SUBSIDIADO ¿de dónde saca eso Usted?. ¿Gasolina subsidiada?, yo diría, ventaja de ser país petrolero, y sí, lamentablemente no tenemos los empresarios que tiene Usted, que AMAN A COLOMBIA,

  • Viejo traen plata y en esta vida y para que se le quede x siempre la plata manda, y cuando la gasolina cuesta menos que el agua uno se pregunta si sera que es subsidiada cuando un galon cuesta realmente casi 2 dolares, y cruzando la frontera para que sepa que si he estado en venezuela un galon cuesta 15 centavos en las estaciones internacionales por que en las normales es mas barata!!!

  • Nuestros empresarios quieren a Estados Unidos, así que a chávez la guerra se la hacen con la comida. Con lo único que se han frenado (por eso ha bajado la inflación - la cual ahora no pasa de 40%, en los noventa, con gobierno neoliberal, la tuvimos en 120% promedio-) es con las expropiaciones... Si metemos a esos LADRONES la carcel dirán que chávez es dictador, y un señor pasional como usted lo repetirá. Mejor aguantárselos mientras nace un nuevo tejido empresarial, por ahí vamos

  • Reconozco que los primeros que deben caer son los corruptos que robaron Venezuela durante muchisimos anos, pero el control de las empresas no debe ser del gobierno, ellos las deben regular y controlar. Trabajo subsidiado y que son las milicias bolivarianas, "voluntarios" a sueldo les dan comida y plata x no hacer nada ir en un bus para apoyar a Chavez y tan dificil que es arreglar eleciones en nuestros paises, si cuando fui a votar el otro dia aparecio que yo tenia que votar en Ginebra (Suiza)

  • Por eso hay que comprarle comida a Colombia es mas barata y sin hormonas, no se que habla tanto Chavez de Estados Unidos si cuando el otro dia que entre a comprar unas cosas a un almacen todas las marcas de comida son gringas!!!! entonces me pregunte cuales son las marcas que consumira Chavez, yo tenia ganas de montar una produccion ganadera en Venezuela hasta que pusieron una regulacion de precios lo cual hace imposible la produccion a costo y va en deterioro de la produccion agropecuaria

  • mmmm, desempleo de 8% = inflacion del 27%, control de cambios hasta 500 dolares/mes, control de precios de los productos basicos producidos, wow que economia tan saludable ahhh ya el petroleo no esta a 120 dolares el barril bujuju, pero tranquilo que lo queda de la industria venezolana entrara a producir bienes y servicios en el 2050 JAJAJAJAJA.......

  • actually socialism/social democracy works pretty great in norway, sweden, iceland, denmark, and finland.

    to me, a norwegian, i think it's pretty obvious there's still some remnant of mccarthyism in the american public, probably fueled by the constant "external threat" (be it terrorism, communism, etc.) america seems to think it's under.

  • You are deluded. The social welfare states of Europe are dying a quick demographic death to be replaced by the culture of their Muslim immigrants.

  • Yeah, the yellow peril and the blue meanies :)

  • The story that he tells about Hugo Hugo Chavez, (about 4 mins into this interview) is a lie - he never went to Chavez's room at all and they never drank together that night.

    I can't believe that he could sit there and tell such a blatant lie - certainly makes you think twice about believing anything that he says in his movies.

  • Its a joke. He makes those sometimes

  • Michael Moore should be ashamed about what he said of Hugo Chavez. He has 5 minutes of television to tell constructive things to the millions of misinformed americans and he used those minutes to lie and tell bad jokes.

  • The end was pretty funny. I think Canadians know more about our country because we just have so much more influence than they do. That example just shows how we are more snobbish rather than dumb.

  • So a Canadian knows the president of the USA, the capital, and the first line of the US national anthem and Moore considers that "smart". I bet there are millioms of people (maybe even a few billion) who don't know the capital of Canada, its PM, or its national anthem! Canadians are generally good people even though they are brainwashed into being politically correct (culturally marxist) and to believe that they are better than Americans.

  • Americans don't watch Canadian T.V.. This is the problem with Moore's theory, they watch our news all the time. Also, no one is generally interested in Canadian politics because they are not a world power so they are not important. We can easily name the U.K.'s 3 and they are even farther away. Did anyone also notice the Canadian got the national athem wrong and he corrected it? He said "Oh see" not "oh say", it would've been a draw if he didn't rig it.

  • I agree. I work with Canadians, and they are just as smart as Americans, and some are just as dumb.Same goes for the Europeans.

  • Yaya! Canada Baby! IN your face Bitches!!! JK sorry if I offended you. LOL

  • Michael you won't get free gasoline from president Hugo Chavez, but for sure you'll get a bunch of bananas, and you know very well what you can do with it..

  • What happened MIchael, who is forcing you to lie about president Hugo Chavez. Shame on you.

  • stop lying michael. I like your movies but its hard to respect you when you lie like that.

  • Moore never said that the man in the picture was a bodyguard; he mentioned a bodyguard afterwards when he talked about going up to the hotel room. Not when the picture was being shown. Chavez is often referred to as a dictator even though he won free and fair elections with about a 70% majority. I've noticed that any leader who implements socialist policies gets denigrated in America, no doubt because they don't cater to American corporate interests.

  • Jimmy Kimmel points to the man on the right, and Michael Moore laughs and says "this is the man who's going to take me out". You can't say from that that Moore is being disingenuous. However, the tequila story I did believe.

  • I've never known a Venezuelan to drink Tequila.

  • Cmon everyone including the guy from Timbuktu will drink tequila.

  • well I won't just the thought makes me gag!

  • where are you from? some research would help you not to assert such a statement..............ppl who dont vote for him lose their jobs or their electricity and water supply gets cut off

  • Sorry but that has more than a whiff of propaganda about it.

  • I know a lot of people who didn't vote for him and none of those things happened. Where did you get that information, please share!

  • No, it's because socialism is dangerous to humanity. And chomsky is a danger to the human intellect.

  • Gore Vidal said that America is the only country in the world that believes in socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. And, based on the 700 billion dollar bail out of wall street, it seems his observation is more relevant than ever. Socialism is just a means of making sure that everyone benefits from the wealth created by capitalism, and not just the people at the top. Except in America. And Noam Chomsky is a hero who sees past the propaganda--like the type you are posting.

  • Gore Vidal said a lot of stupid things. Who says that I defend corporate welfare? All socialism is bad because it subsidizes bad behavior. Socialism destroys nations top and bottom. In the GDR and PRK the top benefits and the bottom suffers. Noam Chomsky does not believe that 9-11 was an inside job. He says there was no conspiracy, that Muslims did it. Is he your hero? The propaganda is what Chomsky weaves in his crappy books. He's a leftist linguist, not a historian or a political scientist.

  • So you admit there is corporate welfare--which supports what Gore Vidal said. So how is what he said stupid? People in most western European and Scandinavian countries have programs designed to help the majority, which most people would consider socialist--free, universal health care, day care, free university, a minimum of 5 weeks vacation time, 6 months to a year fully paid maternity leave; the result? A well educated, stable healthy society. And Chomsky speaks truth to power, brainwashed one.

  • I said he said a lot of stupid things. It's stupid because we have millions who pay no taxes and get tax credits. I live in Western Europe and I know the toll this statist command system takes on the society. Islam will soon rock Europe. Europeans are declining in population, Muslims booming. Nothing is free. Tax rates are crushing in Europe and unemployment is chronically high and hidden in stats by gov. program handouts. Western Europe's welfare state will collapse. Chomsky is a communist.

  • Gore Vidal is one of the foremost historians in the U.S. and grew up in a family used to the perks of power, which he rejected. His intellect is unquestioned--so what stupid things has he said? And unemployment is chronically high in the States, but unfortunately not ameliorated by government "handouts"--people just have to suffer, unlike people in Europe who have the benefit of socialist programs. And Chomsky is not a communist--if you read his books you would know that.

  • You keep repeating leftist propaganda with no evidence to support it. If you think Vidal is a foremost historian or that his opinions are unquestionable you know little about the historical method. Most leftist intellectuals are from rich backgrounds. Marx lived off of factory owner Engel's money while he wrote his bourgeois Manifesto. Socialist programs bankrupt nations and destroy human self-reliance. Only the most basic of programs should be used to keep ppl alive and in reasonable comfort.

  • I've got a great book for you that I'm sure you'd love--it's called A Modest Proposal. It was written, actually, with people like you in mind.

  • I've got a better book for you to read. It's called "America Alone"by Mark Steyn. You could add "The Politically Incorrect Guide to The South" to your list of books with real knowledge in them. Anyone who takes MIT Linguist Noam Chomsky as their guru is not anyone anybody with real intelligence and a serious desire to understand the human condition would take book advice from.

  • I don't need to understand the human condition, just why there are brainwashed dullards like you in the universe.

  • You are very ignorant despite the books you read. Your ideological and philosophical bent has doomed you to literate ignorance.

  • If you want to have free gas for your entire life, just make a documentary film like Oliver Stone, saying only good things about Hugo Chavez and his revolution.

  • WHY has Moore lied so brazenly????

    People should email moore and see what he has to say...

  • What a bunch of Crap... First the guy wasn't a bodyguard, he is like the secretary of state from Venezuela. Secondly, Chavez doesn't drink even tequila that is in Mexico, we drink RUM (another sterotype from this fat idiot comunist). Third, Chavez doesn't discuss his speech with other person (He is a very narcisitic person). That picture is a proof of the decadency of the politics today.

  • He´s making this up as he goes along. Can you seriously just walk right up to president Chavez door and knock?, the guy has millions of bodyguards. And the one "bodyguard" Michael points out on the picture is actually foreign minister Nicolás Maduro. And isn´t Chavez known for his anti alcohol position?

    I like Michaels movies but this is just to much...

  • you dont know shit about chavez and what his doing... if you really want to know then survive 1 week in venezuela... and if you think you know what the fuck hes doing then explain it to me... that ive lived under hes goverment for 10 years....

  • you are totally right, fuck chavez, fuck corruption, fuck nepotism! fuck communism!

  • I'm against corruption too, thats why I can't stand living under the capitalist government of the United States!

  • It's not the capitalist system fault,it is the corrupted administration in power who are responsible, (Democrats & Republicans).

  • chavez is awesome, moore is awesome

  • The man with the mustache went from never- graduating- college-trouble-maker to driving a bus to foreign affairs minister...he might as well be the body guard. He knows nothing about foreign affairs. Both he and his boss, disrespect not only the countrymen and women, but the rest of the world. Chavez has no credibility and Maduro even less.

  • Lets see if we can agree on something; the basic rule of democracy ,dictate, after elections are held, the one elected should rule everyone, simply because thats what one agrees on, when one goes to vote. Fallowing the elections the ruler would implement the type of government that his followers desire. The ones that did not get their candidate elected should try to have their candidate next time. When one disrespects the one elected is disrespecting, the country and their citizens.

  • How ignorant! The ruler in a democracy cannot change the democratic system. He cannot set socialism when he was elected to rule a democratic country, you idiot.

  • excellent comment

  • The story is evidently false, the man with the moustache in the picture is the minister of foreign affairs, not a body guard, had Moore really met them both in some sort of "drinking party" he´d know this.

  • alejo868: He never called the man with the moustache his body guard. When he said 'the body guard there' he quite obviously meant the guy at the door.

  • He couldnt even get his alcohol right in his tale! Tequila is Mexican. Venezuela makes rum. Get it straight. . President Chávez does not drink and is well known for his anti-alcohol position. Moores lies about President Chávez are offensive and insulting and a sign of his hipocresy and lack of ethic. . This ridiculous tale about Moore's meeting with President Chávez is a coverUp ... Michael Moore is a most unfortunate coward.

    _Eva Golinger

  • I need to buy Evas books in English, can you help me?

  • Hahaha. Still wasting your money on wrong books? Eva Golinger is an idiot. She said that twitter and facebook are tools used by the CIA to recruit agents in Venezuela! She can't see many people saying bad things about Chavez in twitter and sleep in peace that night

  • Mr. DieGoth74 since you think that your IQ is higher than everybody that uses this forum, enabling you to insult everyone of us, could you try to understand the simple fact that with my money I can buy any book I want and make my own opinion?. The way you express you facts to justify your hate for the elected president of a country like Venezuela disrespects the citizen that elected him. Its that too hard for you to comprehend.

  • I never said that I'm the smartest one here. I don't know who is. All I know is that you can't be.

  • I agree with you. Moore is just a story-teller and he makes a lot of money saying how evil is capitalism.

  • Man I understand this is comical but to make it look like Hugo Chavez or latinos are partying is immoral wrong. I mean I understand how Micheal Moore movies are sometimes Comical with a crazy twist. But this is not comical when he is defending Bush. Fuck Bush! He murdered millions if he can't be called a diablo he sure is going to see the diablo. But its not that the fact is that Micheal Moore insulted Hugo Chavez and he deserves an apology or my support for Micheal Ends.

  • It took a twist when Micheal Moore a man who is coming out with a MOVIE like this is talking about supporting the Republicans in the next run of elections. I mean how pathetic is that that you will make a moving critique these republicans and the way they started wars and economic death he will go and back stab the people he suppose to represent! YEAH MOORE? WHATS UP WITH THAT? I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY! YOU GO ON THIS SHOW A STICK ONE UP AND THAN YOU GO AND TALK ABOUTVOTINGREP?

  • what the hell is michael moore talking about? the guy he refers to as a bodyguard that was about to take him out of the room is the minister of international affairs and former president of the congress!!! really bad taste jokes this time mike

  • Well, in fact, calling this guy Nicolas Maduro a "bodyguard" is a good thing, regarding that he was nothing but a bus driver before being called on by Chavez to be his minister.

  • i think Michael Moore talks a lot of shit and exaggerates even the Venezuelans are complaining about him funny

  • You are right about bus drivers (according to you) that become minister of foreign affairs, like Nicolas Maduro, nobody that is only a head of a workers union should become president of a country like Poland or Brazil, following your pattern of thinking, just white people should be in power in Africa. In this world must people would agree that everybody is entitle to get ahead in life and serve their country to the best of their abilities, honestly and by the rules of law and democracy
