Michael Moore on 'The Sad Underbelly of This Election'

[fatalnightmare22]

joe is a really popular guy!

[2superstobie]

more giving palin advice if you want to criticize what Sarah Palins spends on clothes how about the fact to have michael moore speak at your school would cost $50000+

let he who has free of sin cast the first stone you fing retard.

[booty1983]

Sarah Palin and her husband made "a quarter of a million dollars" in 2008 for their tax returns... looking back, now it's 2010... Barack Obama made 4 million dollars last year. I was hoping for a man who made change, but he looks to be a weak opportunist, just like the rest of them. To say "at best," really breaks my heart... but he's only the "break" Americans were hoping for. Come on Palin, 2012! Whoopie! That should be interesting.

[skydome29]

@booty1983 She was a governor and she made a quarter million dollars from their tax return not their income. Secondly he at least is reporting all of it (seemingly), as opposed to those in the higher incomes that can hide it. Also both obamas were both lawyers, so really its an easy equation, 2 lawyers+senatorial income+ presidential income + other areas of income ie: stock & bonds=$. And isn't financial capitalism what your country is based on? Palin would be a 4 year comedy sketch of halarity

[booty1983]

@skydome29 Palin would end up doing something monumentally stupid, with her "Maverick Outlook" on things. Like saying: fuck the rest of the world, let's nuke Pakistan! Just because she would think it would make her look cool. Or put a cause behind an empty, selfish money scheme. In retrospect, I would rather have a liar in office, then a bold faced liar. That's what America has become, sadly. Thanks for the reply.

moore tells lies

[johnnystormuf4]

"I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it?" "I walk among them. I live on the island of Manhattan, a three-mile-wide strip of land that is luxury home and corporate suite to America's elite..... Those who run your life live in my neighborhood. I walk in the streets with them each day" -Michael Moore, Stupid White Men,

[Adnoydal]

Michael Moore has become rich by preaching the rich must be taxed to feed the poor, but so far hes been eating all the food himself. I got nothing from Michael for Xmas. Or must we wait until Kwanzaa for a more poignant message?

[savemyplaylist]

250k a year isn't that much MM. I'm fairly certain MM spent many millions on his home... they're all fucking hypocrites

[wiseassnubian]

yeah that fat fuck isn't starving that's for sure.

fat hot dog eating socialist scum!

[asspants101]

hes talking from the point of view of most americans. some of us don't have that kind of money.

[savemyplaylist]

Well people who are making a couple 100k are working hard for that. Most in this range own businesses and HIGHER people, but hey just tax em, jobs don't mean shit...

MM is making plenty of money, he's a hypocrite and has sold out liberal causes time and time again.

[casan20007]

I don't think McCain is a racist.

However, someone in McCain's campaign decided to cash in on the voting block that represent the "ugly in America", hateful and always angry white people, who see not diversity but people to hate. Even if there were no black people in America it would have been another group, protestans or this or that. Just as in Ireland.

[RaySzulc]

It seems you have to be on the outside of the government to be honest.

[maturerobph]

I love Michael Moore because he tells the TRUTH,,,,,,,,,,,

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@maturerobph Thanks for the joke, it'll keep me going all day... :D

[UOGSammich]

Its funny... because everyone seemed to know which candidate's party spent 150,000 on a wardrobe, but 60% couldnt tell you what party occupied the whitehouse at the time of election.... Its called Media Malpractice guys, look into it.

[pseudohippie55]

fuck that fat slob...he is one of the most disgusting humans to ever walk the face of the earth

him and Rosie O'donnel

[sjcpal]

moore should have his own show on t.v. or radio and go up against limbaugh ...I think he woud do good ...i'm very impressed with moore

[RequiemVortex]

He did have a TV show for a time. It was called TV nation, and yes it was good.

[cannuckistan]

moore's cool, but why doesn't he lose some weight? I mean you can speak for Joe six packs of this world without looking like beached whale.

[jankendorf]

hahahah!

are you a woman?

anyway, funny thought. imagine him standing on a pile of dead CEO's wearing a skin tight latex suit and a red cloak...

[GomerDose]

nice fag hat

[gwengoadalso]

come on people now smile on your brother everybody get together and love everybody ...right now! right now! right Now!!!

Where is the hate crime charge against Rush... inciting a riot ... encouraging racial hate... prescription drug fraud hang the mother fucker! then we can stop hating!!! PEace

[xpo50]

I agree

The funny thing is that Rush wouldnt have a career in any other country

[pseudohippie55]

neither would Michael Moore...any other country would imprison you for making fun of a national tragedy...but in America, its alright!

[xpo50]

Michael Moore wouldnt have a job in any other country beccause there arent as many juicy conspiracies and corruption.

So your right, Michael Moore makes movies about how America has many horrible institutions and practices in place. He could create such contrversy in other countries because its not there

[pseudohippie55]

sooo...Columbine was an inside job? 9/11 WAS NOT AN INSIDE JOB U DUMB ASS! stop listening to CNN and watch some other stations for a change

[xpo50]

what the hell?

How do you get that from my comment?

I dont think SEPTEMBER 11th 2001 was an inside job.

I was saying that America has bad institutions, and poor social programs, and so things like Columbine happen because of bad policy and lack of support for the mentally ill

[pseudohippie55]

either way, its disgusting to try and make a profit off of a national tragedy...if the simpsons, or family guy, or any other show made a joke about 9/11 that was not rectified by the joker getting his ass whooped, they'd be cancelled in a heart beat

yet Michael Moore made millions on those movies and was supported...it makes me sick

[xpo50]

how? his movie was not making fun of columbine, it was saying why it happened. He wasnt making jokes, he was getting to the root of the problem of why they happened.

Saying that the fact that everyone has a gun, even children is not making fun but saying why something happened.

[RequiemVortex]

Err... actually Family Guy did make a 9/11 joke. No ass whooping though.

[felixpottie12345]

Haha good one.

[Dblitzen]

What services ? The economy is in shambles because of the elitist government.I am not going to take the word of a hollywood guy who pals around with dictators either.

[zxygh]

Rush has to say it loud. His oxycontin abuse has left him nearly deaf.

[victor2cutube]

so true.. rich people always want somebody else to pay for everything. rush limpbrain is so anti-american he should be deported. he stirs hate for money.

[janebusby]

Have you heard the latest news?

Obamas grandmothers just died.

One day away from seeing him change history.

God bless you Barack

[Dblitzen]

Funny this hog talks about underbellies, I hope obama taxes the hell out of his fat ass.

[PeaceofChaos361]

Wow you're dumb

Moore wants that! He doesnt care about paying taxes. He knows that taxes are the price you pay for a civilized countries.

[Dblitzen]

Tax his fat ass, not my middle class - dummy

[PeaceofChaos361]

He should be taxed, and he wants to be.

If people like you dont wanna pay taxes, then dont expect to use and service provided by our government

If your house catches on fire, sorry bud...pray for rain

[pseudohippie55]

y dont the celebs who sit in their private jets pay taxes while those sffering in this recession pay more?

tell me that

[PeaceofChaos361]

They soon will pay more.

Yeah, the tax rate for $250,000+ is only going up a mere 3%, but its still a raise.

what are you trying to say anyways? i dont really understand your reply...

[pseudohippie55]

I think I may have mistyped...

but either way, that 3% is nt much

as of right now, the $16 a month credit that everyone was getting is gone...and our taxes will be increased very soon thanks to that stupid energy bill

I honestly dont believe in this global warming there is ALOT of evidence supporting the claim that global warming/cooling is cyclical...in the past 200 years, the hottest decades were the 50s. not the 10s and not the 90s.the 90s were actually relatively cold compared to the 50s

[OrmEmber]

Rush Limbaugh:"Let me say it louder: it was All about race!!!" Well, Limbaugh's reaction to it is all about race; and he was trying to stir up the latent (or not so latent) racism in races that would be threatened by a black president, even if he's biracial. His mother is white, yet he's "black". For the Limbaughs out there, it is about race... and fear. Too bad. They could have focused on the real issues that are threatening all of us.

[funwithatheism]

We can hope that the humiliating defeat of the Republicans may spur them to learn to read. You will notice that they have very poor spelling and grammar. Many of them believe in sky fairies, and think that the planet is only 6000 years old. Some of them hope for a nuclear war, in the hope that the messiah will return. They all hope for an end to scientific inquiry, and a return to the old days of the stoning to death of woman. Please republicans, git suma them ther reddin bukes.

[ragingtortoise]

haha its true , look at bush he butchers his own language and what does he do with his spare time. uhh go hunting and shoot guns probably

[SkorpioD1991]

@funwithatheism You seem to confuse "Republican" with "Christian", and even your definition of the latter needs serious revision. For a start, observe that there are many Christian scientists (GASP!); though the religious take a lot of time to learn about science, the favor is rarely returned. It's a shame, because the two are very compatible, in case you've heard otherwise. I'm going to point you to works of C.S. Lewis like "The Abolition of Man" and "Mere Christianity". You'll like, I promise.

[jerrod24]

@funwithatheism Wait a minute, now. Just because some extremist losers CLAIM to be Christians, it doesn't mean that they are.

I ask anyone who is non religious to please not lump all Christians in with these redneck GOP losers. The Bible is more than your disrespectful comments call it.

Don't disrespect an entire religion because of a couple of idiots.

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@funwithatheism Also, we may hope that the upcoming defeat of that crook and liar Obama next year will spur you democrats to present sources for your outrageous claims.

[Sliceofcheesewithegg]

lol fatty

[antidote2010]

Michael Moore, it is an honor to have you around. You are a beacon of hope and truth.

[wazooavenue]

I would like to see Michael Moore uncover the truth about the Federal Reserve bank, congressman Louis McFadden, the Woodrow Wilson era etc. Look it up

[Cluzio]

This is all we need,you dumb fuckers voting that gung ho slapper into office along with the geriatric,WAKE UP YOU MORONS HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE LAST 8 YEARS? OR DO YOU JUST LIKE RETARDED FOOLS AS PRESIDENTS?

[xlioilx]

3:32 god rush is a ugly fucking racist

[aristottlesdeathwish]

I don't know. I don't like rush, but when he spoke about it he mentioned that powell never supported a white democrat, and looking at it that way, I guess it would seem kind of strange that he suddenly supports a democrat that is black. I don't know...

[puscikat]

This was not about race! If you saw the endorsement, you would of seen why he agreed to endorse Obama.

BTW: Powell is a Republican, and a major one at that. Maybe that is the reason he's never backed a Democrat. Also, after Bush's failed administration, maybe he doesn't want the next 4 yrs like the last 8. That's why he didn't back McCain.

My question is why are the people that were singing his praises changing their tune? He's still the same man. He went from General to Homeboy.

[aristottlesdeathwish]

I think I understand where they are coming from; playing devils advocate here. I believe people have become suspicious of his sudden endorsement of Obama because It doesn't look good when you have been nothing but supportive of the republican agenda your entire life in congress, then change sides when someone of the same nationality as you takes center stage. It just doesn't look right. But I do believe his reasons for endorsing Obama are legitimate because I think he is smarter than that.

[puscikat]

I understand what you are saying. I've played Devil's advocate quite a bit myself. Having that been said I say this:

To assume for any reason that the only reason Powell backed Obama was because he was black, is to expose the racism within yourself. A black man can't vote for another black man, or endorse another black man based on the fact he feels he is the better choice?  It has to be about color? Are we to assume that is why whites vote for McCain? Although there are a few...

[Prunesqualer]

Palin should donate her new clothes (if anyone can wash off all the mooseblood and bullsh**) to Joe sixpack. He likes dressing up as someone he isn't

[unkyuskusky]

Michael Moore is a very smart dude, and you can tell he loves this country. Joe six pack the plumber is a turd. Joe has a tax lien from Lucas county Ohio for $1182.00. Doesn't pay traffic tickets, isn't a plumber, isn't buying his bosses business, and only makes 40K a year. So that makes him a lying turd too!

[bdyan1]

i didnt like moore before now i can C he really cares abt the US

[ldhablo666]

NADER 08. Michael Moore is a sellout. He's pissed (and rightly so) about the "bail out" BUT Obama and the DEMS are FOR it! Lol.

[Prunesqualer]

To ldhablo666. Poor oversight and lack of regulation of the banking world (for which Republicans deserve most of the blame) let to dissaster. Michael Moore has been warning us, for many years, to keep a closer watch on these corperate crooks. I didn't noticed McCain doing much about it when it might have made a difference.

[diymk]

Thank you, Mr Moore. You never let us down!!

[brainards1]

What a damn loser...Michael Moore is! How many liberal plumbers does it take to repair a sink? It takes 3! 2 to repair it while 1 sits on his fat ass and complains to a liberal talk show host on CNN!

[Htowngangstaz]

your problem is your plumbing don't work ya big baby! Your brain needs a good plunging to!! lol.. what you doing on here, go spend the day tuned into Fox!!

[kdude87]

150,000 dollars on clothes......

[PBLEY]

Joe the Plumber is a phony and a Republican plant.

[Changenow08]

Hockey is an elite sport. its equipment is very expensive. Soccer moms are the true everyday hard working American moms!

[01Khai]

Some bird spends 150,000 dollars on cloths this year, and you americans think she's going to understand the needs of struggling low income families - lol.

[socomcorky]

Help! A guy in a 5000 dollar suit just mugged me and carved an "Mc" in my face!

[mettabee]

Sarah's just there to look good, it's not like she has much else going for her in this election. It makes sense they'd blow that much on her appearance.

[minteko]

we need more Moores ;0)

[Vivifiant]

As long as there are more Micheal Moores in this country than Rush Limbaughs there is hope :-)

[kingtafari9]

moore wants to help poor ppl. he wants the middle class and the lss fortunate to have a better standard of life...who would disgree w that? his critics are insane

[rockotica]

moore wants to help poor ppl. he wants the middle class and the lss fortunate to have a better standard of life...who would disgree w that? his critics are insane.

[Powerback2008]

The Republican Party = The True Terrorists Of Our Nation.

Barack The Vote

[tuzalov]

Sarah Palin will donate her wardrobe to charity after this is all done,once again subscribing to the "wealth trickles down" effect.

[Htowngangstaz]

oh' man! Thats a good one!!!! haha...

[wiggus13]

yes, plumbers for obama!...Moore at his best.

...this campaign is not about Obama vs Mccain, it is more about "obama verses ignorance!" -well put Mr. Moore.

...maybe the "october surprise" will be McCain endorsing Obama.

God bless America from sea to shinning sea.

[HomoGeneyes]

They is trampling out the vintage. Where the grapes of wrath are stor'd; They hath loos'd the fateful lightning Of His terrible swift sword: Truth is marching on Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah THE truth is marching on. THEY has sounded forth the trumpet. That shall never call retreat; They is sifting out the hearts of men Before the judgment seat. Oh, be swift, souls, 2 answer Him! Be jubilant, be free! March on. GOT MILK? GET MILKED - NOVEMBER 2008

[CarlKenner]

But there is something wrong with being a Muslim. It is a set of beliefs which I completely disagree with, and don't want public policy to be based on. Obama is not a Muslim, and he is a better candidate because of that. Unfortunately Obama has many other right-wing beliefs that I am also opposed to, so I prefer Ralph Nader.

On the other hand, people were accusing Obama of being an Arab, which there is nothing wrong with. Some Arabs, such as Nader, would make great Presidents.

[rasjahjah]

thank you Michael for keeping it straight:)!

those republicans afterwards were stooges.. total goons..

[1BuckeyeNation]

Dag gone it, I like Mike BUT no one ever calls him on his bullshit like him saying the bailout plan as a Republican scheme when Obama voted for it and Democrats led the House of Representatives to pass the bailout of Wall St with very little Republican support because they said it was WRONG.

[bluehoneycomb]

FEAR, FEAR, FEAR! That is why they voted for it. Many opposed to it, but just like the patriot act (or anything else by the Republicans), if you are not with it, you are not patriotic (who would want to be THE responsible party for a depression?) Anyway, there are a lot of Republicrats in the house, like Pelosi, who opposed to the impeachment of W (or maybe they are bribing her or maybe even threatening her, who knows).

[marniespeaks]

I don't trust Powell, there is a 15 year old in Gitmo, 19 now, for four years, he's been tortured by the US, and Powell has said nothing.

I do not trust the democrats.

[sherichusa]

Pretty dumb statement (marniespeaks) POWELL IS A REPUBLICAN!!!

[marniespeaks]

Notice this --->. and a space between statements means a new paragraph.

Therefore, I am making two different statements.

that help?

[rell127]

POWELL IS A REPUBLICAN

[marniespeaks]

same as above.

[jophus82]

1st powell isn't in the administrations anymore.

2nd there is a lot of stuff he didn't say that he believes in.

3rd he is a republican.

[marniespeaks]

1. Powell came out against McCain's remarks last week, so it doesn't matter that he's not in the administration.

2. If he came out against McCain's remark why not come out against a 15 year old at Gitmo being tortured, while under his watch and not under his watch?

3. I never brought up his affiliation with any party. As I said I made two separate statements as designated by the period and a space for the paragraph. LYT.

And all of this was in the context of Mike's statements.

[wasekejojo]

So Marnie, who put that 15 year old there? Was it the Republican administration perchance?

[marniespeaks]

Joint Resolution 114 was taken on October 11, 2002. It passed the Senate by a vote of 77 to 23, and the House of Representatives by a vote of 296 to 133.

plenty of democrats have blood on their hands including Biden and Hillary

[kingtafari9]

he did not say that they did'nt

[UnionStayshyn]

"Since I got 7 minutes with Wolf Blitzer."

Good stuff. Great interview, Mr. Moore. No one would even be discussing Health Care if it wasn't for your film! Take care!

-From a fan up north in socialist Canada

[tutanktunak]

LOL Michael wore the same exact outfit and hat he wore in his last interview with Larry King! O_________O

[hinderxx]

I saw it tonight..

I wish he would've been able to debate the people who were ripping him when he left.

[Richardgwm]

We need some CEOs led to the guillotine in the public square.

Throughout history, whenever income inequality has reached this level, the result has always been violent revolution.
