Michael Moore is a hero!?!?!? Dude, its unhealthy to lead paint chips... Michael Moore champions old ideology that failed each and everyone of the thousand attempts humans gave it... Just look at the track record of the ideology Michael Moore is pushing: Cuba, Venezuela, Greece, Portugal, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nazi Germany, USSR, Spain .... do I need to continue??? Listen Progressives, we humans have given your ideas a chance, and they failed miserably, can we let it go now ???
I don't hate Micheal Moore, but I never understood Roger and Me it sucks when plants close and bad things happen but...Its not like a company wants to close a plant. I wish he would stop vilifying GM just for some free press.
@2468bloob i guess you could said im not arguing with you, im just alluding to ideas without clarifying them. sorry to leave you to do your own research. but uh, GM is a villain. no really. they illegally manufactured for the nazi regime, supressed their own electric car, received bailouts from the feds while rolling in cash only to export jobs, and
most importantly, the most clear, heinous and irrefutable of their crimes, they conspired (and were convicted of having done so) to eliminate streetcars.

Second, I have watched Roger & Me, I saw how horrible Flint once looked when GM pulled out of their town. My question is why did Micheal Moore with all the accumulated wealth he and his corporation has made by the exploitation of America, why did he not help Flint? Is he to great to do so?

You gotta spend money to make money. That's economics. I suppose you're one of those that thinks Reaganomics works? That it wasn't the New Deal and socialized economics that got us out of the Great Depression. Republican economic strategy is to just ignore the problem and hope it goes away.
Jordan, Yes Reaganomics woks great. Your boy jimmy wrecked the U.S. He made us look like weak clowns on nat. defense.

He ruined all of Clinton's hard work. Our economy was the best it had ever been and Bush managed to destroy that in a couple years.
Jordan, Bush Jr, was handed a rescission from your boy Bill Clinton, but he turned it around in 6 months by cutting taxes. Bush did not waste 800 billion dollars only to have the unemployment rates rise 4%.
Turned it around in 6 months? Really? You seriously believe that? Wow. And I guess all that cutting taxes really helped in this whole recession thing we have now. Wonder whose fault that was.....Oh I know, Bush.
Yes six months, The first 6 months under Bush were bad, and most of the last year was bad. That means 61/2 out of eight years were very strong economically. The democrats controlled the house and senate the last couple years, but in your mind they did a great job!!
@hawkermustang Might I remind you of a little known fact, in the minds of conservatives... How short their memories are... 1) The President does NOT control the spending of gov money in the US... the CONGRESS does. Congress has FINAL say on all Fed $ (Wow. I love this) ...Any way. 2) THE CONGRESS WAS RUN BY THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY during that era. 3) So. If you're going to say that Bush inherited a recession from Clinton... (need I continue?)
@hawkermustang : Where have YOU been living for the last decade?? The recession didn't come into effect until TWO YEARS into Bush's administration. Clearly your one of those guys that simply repeat crap that isn't necessarily correct, but rather is in-line with what you want to hear. You end up believing things simply because it's what you want to hear. LOL. BTW: The President doesn't CONTROL the money in the US. The congress does, idiot... and the Clinton Congress was NOT Democrat run... HA
W handed a recession!?!?!?! That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. No boy genius, W was handed the best economy in the countries history along with a 105 billion standardized-budget surplus. That's according to the congressional budget office.
I would suggest you do some research before repeating everything you hear and while your at it brush up on your spelling.
@Son37Lumiere How is Obama's hope and change working out for you? It is not working worth a damn for me, I've lost all hope and want change, but not the Hugo Chavez type change in which Obama and Moore are seeking. Btw, I can brush up on my spelling, but I doubt you could ever understand basic economics or think logically. And yes we were in a recession at the end of Clintons term. Bush helped pull us out of it with tax cuts. You were probably too stoned to remember.
You....mention logic??? Ahahaha! You wouldn't know logic if it smacked you in the face. Your definition of economics is also probably straight out of bizarro world. Yeah, we were in a recession, that's why Clinton had one of the highest approval ratings in history and we were left with a surplus. You probably also think W had nothing to do with where we are today and that the "Demoncats" are all to blame for the economic collapse, failed banks, corruption and your stubbed toe.
@Son37Lumiere No, Obamas definition of economics is straight out of bizarro world. I blame progressives for where we are today, all the Dems, many republicans, and Bush. Silly guy.
@hawkermustang All Dems (not surprising), many Repubs (uh huh), and Bush? Yet you praise him for avoiding an imaginary recession and choose to deny the fact that he and his administration are almost entirely behind the majority of our debt and the economic collapse. That's right, spending hundreds of billions on a war in two countries and hiring contracted companies (which were directly tied to the administration) tend to have that affect along with complete deregulation and bank bailouts.
Hey MIcheal... do a report on how much stores are charging for products and what they actually pay for them... like why is shampoo 7-15.00 a bottle...??? Why do stores buy so much in bulk then freeze it (like eggs) than sell them when they are outdated.
ryno, It is starting to look that way because we have now elected a N.W.O. Marxist as president. The only thing is Australia is just as socialist if not more so.
mach3moe are u 11 years old? ao what if his living large..HE MADE IT!!!!HE WORKED AND HE SHOW YO YOU AND TO MANY HOW FUCKED UP IS THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN...WAKE UP!!!!!SO WHAT IF HIS RICH HIMSELF..NOONE SAID RUCH PEOPLE ARE BAD!!!

This Global Free Market Capitalist system has failed us! We must bring back ALL our Industries & start Manufacturing & producing products again. The fixed exchange rate system needs to go back in. Screw Free Trade & U.S. outsourcing. Lets return to a FDR style Government with lots of productive work, well paid workers & opportunities for small business entrepreneurs. A government that works for us & not Wall Street.yOUTUBE: LaRouche April 28, 2009 What is Empire 1/6
It's also funny how he now takes credit by saying "I told you so" concerning GM's current state. it's the entire nation that's hurting, all the car compaines, and it all filters down you moron!! How about going after the politicians for unfair trade practices with imports....let's start there....
Going after politicians for unfair trade practices with import? YOu are lost. Who do you think controls what the politicians do and who do they receive their contributions from. Do you realize that it is illegal for corporations to raise the standards of living of average americans based on the court decision in Dodge vs. FOrd. The rich want you to believe it is the gov so you will waste your time attacking the only possibly democratic institution in the US
Hahaha..Michael Moore is a big fat opinionated idiot. I wish people would realize his films are OPINIONS and not necessarily based on the truth. Look at Roger & Me -- there were so many problems with the accuracy of his statements and what he presented. How about how he tried to paint the picture that the "rabbit lady" was in financial ruin cuz her husband lost his job at GM....Turns out her husband doesn't work for GM anymore becuase he DIED...Thanks for Truth in Films Michael Moore - ya liar!
GM did the same thing 20 years ago, closing down all their companies in the states and moving to mexico to pay lower wages to gain more profit. it seems like this recession was almost planned, cause if it comes every so often so that money changes pockets.
I'm planning to see this movie as soon as possible. All those who want to go on drinking the corporate kool-ade can rail against Michael Moore with their stupid, childish insults, but the truth is he's an exemplary citizen: he doesn't just gripe to his family, friends and colleagues; he DOES something to enlighten the public. We need to get active, to get this train-wreck of a country back in working order, and get rid of the corporations; they're parasites, And everybody knows parasites suck.
Look; We have come to a cress road. Either we expand into a moral,civilized culture & society. Or, we fall into a miserable, demoralized, enslaved society owned & run by insane dictatorships. It is you & your reality & understanding on how to handle this situation that will determine our future! Do you want FREEDOM or do you want to be a SLAVE? Now, get educated on how to handled the situation. YouTube: LaRouche Warning Oct. 12 is a bankruptcy deadline. The solution is ready Now !

Rush Limbaugh on Jay Leno.... tomorrow night!
Maybe Rush can save Leno's show.... after making the BIGGEST mistake in his life..... Having an "ENEMY OF THE STATE" on his show..... the GIANT ASS-HOLE.... Michael Moore.....who thankfully.... will not be with us much longer! Do they have to use a fork-lift to transport his lard of fat? I can't wait till they have to cut a hole in his house to be able to drag his dead body out and then use a piano box to bury his dead stinky mound in!! ROFLMAO!
YOU GO GET EM MOORE!!! Someone has to do it.........
By the way. Can GM legally ban MIchael Moore from the building? Would that stand up in court? I gather yes since its been 20 yrs coming however it does seem controversial to me?
as unethical as it is, it's probably legal. It's their business & property, so they can refuse admittance & service to someone for almost any reason (other than a few like race, religion, etc). It's the same kind of thing that allows businesses to ban someone that's causing problems without having to prove it , which is really a good thing when you think about it...so trying to fix the problem with legislation would probably do more harm than good. Just let 'em damage their reputation more...
Capitalism fails because people are greedy and Godless.Henry Ford could have paid himself 30 million a year in 1910, but he didn't. He also didn't go to a University of any sort. He built the best company on nothing more than common sense , and compassion,Something they didn't offer to Rick Wagoner in his MBA course. But if capitalism is ended as Mr.Moore desires, then say 'Hello' to wars
being fought all over the world for resources, No Capitalism =no money
Oh, yeah; "compassion" from Henry Ford; that's a laugh. Do a web-search on the words "Ford," and "goon-squads" and you'll see how much "compassion" he had. He paid his workers a higher wage only because he wanted to sell his cars to them, but he didn't want them getting ideas "above their station" so he hired men to break their heads when they tried to organize a union. And some of the unlucky ones got killed. We call that murder where I grew up. Capitalists call it "sound business practice."
The minute they talked about production in Costa Rica and Mexico they should have went on strike. I'm sure every laid off worker would have taken a $2/hr pay cut years ago but the union would even entertain it, Because they gained too much by allowing the transfer of Jobs. Its
what happens when you let your union president make decisions. It's bad enough the union tells you who to vote for
your six thumbs down probally originate from gm owners themselves , you gotta be blind def and dumb to not see whats going on in this country , both with issues of democracy and racism. So yeah i agree with you
@tunghoy Michael Moore is going to die of a heart attack very soon and it's going to be hilarious! I hope that fat phony opportunist feels every minute of it!
I'm 15, at an age when I'm most influenced. I choose to make Michael Moore my idol after watching his films. I hope someday to follow in his footsteps and take on corporate America just as he has done, and maybe unveil a society where corruption and greed doesn't overpower everything else. Keep rockin' Mike.
We need more young and willing people such as you. We need more bricklayers to help pave the path towards a better future. If you stay true to your words, you will become someone who is truely good, and a true patriot like Micheal Moore.
Follow in his foot-steps? You act like that is going to be hard! All you have to do.... is follow the deep impressions in the ground... as his bundle of fat... breaks a path as he wobbles along!
Wake up... you government controlled student! It is the Democrap Party... with their sticky fingers in EVERYTHING... that is destroying this country! Investigate the "ENEMY WITHIN"... that is who is CHANGING America!
Are you kidding me? If I have to put up with the HATE filled leftist MSM belittling people "I" like, then YOU need to get over it! The MSM DEGRADES Republicans and IGNORED them if it reflects badly on the Teleprompter In Charge!!! Sooooo..... Please get over yourself and how you can't handle someone talking about someone REALLY being FAT.... and Michael MoreIWantSomeMore "IS" corrupt and greedy!
I'm telling you to watch yourself, some people may want you gone. And we need you, and more people like you. hell i haven't seen anyone else doing what your doing. and to find out you've been doing this for more than 20 years WOW. God bless you.
Stay safe, and keep up the GREAT work, i for one will be watching your latest film for sure. =]
4) Capitalism is used to build EMPIRES. In America, We don't like imperialism or imperial classes. We don't bow to queens! What did the evil little Queen of Buckingham palace who gets haled around in a golden carriage ever produce of real value to others in exchange for all her wealth? Did she earn that wealth? What about Bernie Madoff ? We must return to the American System of economy! Google: LaRouche on the American Sysytem of economics
3) But, what did he produce of real value to others in exchange for the profit he made? The shareholder does the same thing. The Capitalist is a parasite that feeds of the production of others without having to produce anything of real value himself. He is a drag in the economy & sucks money out of the economy like a tick attaches to a healthy horse. He gets a free lunch. A Capitalist is BAD for any economy. Capitalism is not the American system of economy.
2) Under the real American system of economy, real wealth is measured on ones ability to manufacture & produce something. But, the Capitalist has found a way to obtain money without having to produce or manufacture anything of real value to others. He just makes his money make more money. A privet banker does the same thing. He loans you $1000. You work & produce your ass off & pay him back $1,150. He profits $150 off your ability to produce.
1) Capitalism violates the purpose for money. There are products & services we need & desire & must have in order to survive well as a culture & Nation. We produce a verity of products & use money as the medium of exchange to obtain those different products. THAT IS THE ONLY PURPOSE FOR MONEY! It's just paper! It has no other real value or purpose. If you want more money, you must be able to CREATE & MANUFACTURE something of real value to people.
And, I'll support my last comment by saying that GM built a FANTASTIC electric car - the EV1. Then they took them all back from lease and shredded them. Yes, they ground them into little tiny pieces. Sweet, huh? It's all about making cars that get LOUSY mileage.
What's clear is that GM are assholes who have betrayed our country by building gas-hogs for the past 50 years. They SUCK, and I will buy quality Japanese cars rather that be a SUCKER for the American auto manufacturers who DELIBERATELY make giant pieces of gas-wasting shit because OPEC tells them to. When American auto makers stop taking bribes from OPEC - I'll reconsider.
They made what American people wanted to buy. Sure the company was mismanaged and didn't put an effective long term strategy in place, but don't say they are taking bribes from OPEC. You're all that is wrong with this country now. We've let ourselves become a bunch of fat, uneducated morons who just repeat whatever it is that Glenn Beck says on the radio that week.. So go ahead throw a T-Party and rant and rave. You probably make your car payments with social security anyways.
I should have said that it was my opinion that bribery must be taking place. How else could they not see that fuel economy is important . they cannot possible be that stupid. Are they? BIG OIL has someting to do with this - in my opinion.
What's confusing about Michael Moore inviting the news there, and GM (which has the right to dictate terms of the rental) banning news crews from the GM property? It's Crystal Clear to me.
If you keep all the thief's at their jobs after breaking a company I am not sure why anyone expects change. Seriously did any bank or company fire the people that are responsible for the whole collapse after they stole all our hard earned money and the taxes we pay? Guess what now we have bigger banks then we had so I am not sure why we should feel better.
wow, handing michael moore free publicity on how corporate America hasn't really changed.. that pretty much makes gm's brass stupider than a bag of woolworth's goldfish, doesn't it?
GM should just go out of business simply because they are a bunch of greedy dumb people. I have no love for that company and will never buy a car from them.
GM is still as GM was... This company should be broken up & sold off. That stone age management style will kill them eventually. NO one will respect the GM cars with the engineering goal to avoid lawsuits and keep quality to a minimum. NEVER will I go thru the ordeal of owning a GM product again.
Publicity whether good or bad is still publicity. GM is really stupid. You would think after the bailout they'd turn a new chapter and welcome Michael Moore and become a more responsible corporation and even offer him a seat at the board meetings to give them better insight as to what they can do to become a more consumer friendly corporation. That would give them more credibility in the eyes of the consumer and give them an edge over Toyota. As Forest Gump's mother said, "Stupid is ...
So I just called and left a message for President Obama, that as an OWNER of G.M. I was disappointed M.Moore was not allowed and I was calling to complain.
--Thank you for the wonderful thought. I think you are a genius!!
I just called GM directly and left a nice little message for Mr. Henderson. I was only on hold for about 20 seconds too, I urge all the positive commenters on this video to do the same.
The monster is of more use alive than dead. Alive and healthy. This means genuinely healthy, able to pay good wages, making high quality, affordable cars, that are safe and have good fuel economy. Not bothering to do this destroyed GM. And it is the only real way out of this mess.
i cant wait for the USA to come to an end..its going to be good

I love this) ...Any way. 2) THE CONGRESS WAS RUN BY THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY during that era. 3) So. If you're going to say that Bush inherited a recession from Clinton... (need I continue?)

@hawkermustang : Where have YOU been living for the last decade?? The recession didn't come into effect until TWO YEARS into Bush's administration. Clearly your one of those guys that simply repeat crap that isn't necessarily correct, but rather is in-line with what you want to hear. You end up believing things simply because it's what you want to hear. LOL. BTW: The President doesn't CONTROL the money in the US. The congress does, idiot... and the Clinton Congress was NOT Democrat run... HA

W handed a recession!?!?!?! That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. No boy genius, W was handed the best economy in the countries history along with a 105 billion standardized-budget surplus. That's according to the congressional budget office.
I would suggest you do some research before repeating everything you hear and while your at it brush up on your spelling.

@Son37Lumiere How is Obama's hope and change working out for you? It is not working worth a damn for me, I've lost all hope and want change, but not the Hugo Chavez type change in which Obama and Moore are seeking. Btw, I can brush up on my spelling, but I doubt you could ever understand basic economics or think logically. And yes we were in a recession at the end of Clintons term. Bush helped pull us out of it with tax cuts. You were probably too stoned to remember.
hawkermustang 1 year ago
You....mention logic??? Ahahaha! You wouldn't know logic if it smacked you in the face. Your definition of economics is also probably straight out of bizarro world. Yeah, we were in a recession, that's why Clinton had one of the highest approval ratings in history and we were left with a surplus. You probably also think W had nothing to do with where we are today and that the "Demoncats" are all to blame for the economic collapse, failed banks, corruption and your stubbed toe.

@hawkermustang All Dems (not surprising), many Repubs (uh huh), and Bush? Yet you praise him for avoiding an imaginary recession and choose to deny the fact that he and his administration are almost entirely behind the majority of our debt and the economic collapse. That's right, spending hundreds of billions on a war in two countries and hiring contracted companies (which were directly tied to the administration) tend to have that affect along with complete deregulation and bank bailouts.

I'm planning to see this movie as soon as possible. All those who want to go on drinking the corporate kool-ade can rail against Michael Moore with their stupid, childish insults, but the truth is he's an exemplary citizen: he doesn't just gripe to his family, friends and colleagues; he DOES something to enlighten the public. We need to get active, to get this train-wreck of a country back in working order, and get rid of the corporations; they're parasites, And everybody knows parasites suck.

By the way. Can GM legally ban MIchael Moore from the building? Would that stand up in court? I gather yes since its been 20 yrs coming however it does seem controversial to me?
Badangel30 2 years ago
as unethical as it is, it's probably legal. It's their business & property, so they can refuse admittance & service to someone for almost any reason (other than a few like race, religion, etc). It's the same kind of thing that allows businesses to ban someone that's causing problems without having to prove it , which is really a good thing when you think about it...so trying to fix the problem with legislation would probably do more harm than good. Just let 'em damage their reputation more...

Capitalism fails because people are greedy and Godless.Henry Ford could have paid himself 30 million a year in 1910, but he didn't. He also didn't go to a University of any sort. He built the best company on nothing more than common sense , and compassion,Something they didn't offer to Rick Wagoner in his MBA course. But if capitalism is ended as Mr.Moore desires, then say 'Hello' to wars

Oh, yeah; "compassion" from Henry Ford; that's a laugh. Do a web-search on the words "Ford," and "goon-squads" and you'll see how much "compassion" he had. He paid his workers a higher wage only because he wanted to sell his cars to them, but he didn't want them getting ideas "above their station" so he hired men to break their heads when they tried to organize a union. And some of the unlucky ones got killed. We call that murder where I grew up. Capitalists call it "sound business practice."

The unions only pretend to help the workers.
The minute they talked about production in Costa Rica and Mexico they should have went on strike. I'm sure every laid off worker would have taken a $2/hr pay cut years ago but the union would even entertain it, Because they gained too much by allowing the transfer of Jobs. Its
what happens when you let your union president make decisions. It's bad enough the union tells you who to vote for
in Gov't elections. Michael Moore invests
in all he hates.

4) Capitalism is used to build EMPIRES. In America, We don't like imperialism or imperial classes. We don't bow to queens! What did the evil little Queen of Buckingham palace who gets haled around in a golden carriage ever produce of real value to others in exchange for all her wealth? Did she earn that wealth? What about Bernie Madoff ? We must return to the American System of economy! Google: LaRouche on the American Sysytem of economics

3) But, what did he produce of real value to others in exchange for the profit he made? The shareholder does the same thing. The Capitalist is a parasite that feeds of the production of others without having to produce anything of real value himself. He is a drag in the economy & sucks money out of the economy like a tick attaches to a healthy horse. He gets a free lunch. A Capitalist is BAD for any economy. Capitalism is not the American system of economy.

2) Under the real American system of economy, real wealth is measured on ones ability to manufacture & produce something. But, the Capitalist has found a way to obtain money without having to produce or manufacture anything of real value to others. He just makes his money make more money. A privet banker does the same thing. He loans you $1000. You work & produce your ass off & pay him back $1,150. He profits $150 off your ability to produce.

1) Capitalism violates the purpose for money. There are products & services we need & desire & must have in order to survive well as a culture & Nation. We produce a verity of products & use money as the medium of exchange to obtain those different products. THAT IS THE ONLY PURPOSE FOR MONEY! It's just paper! It has no other real value or purpose. If you want more money, you must be able to CREATE & MANUFACTURE something of real value to people.
