MICHAEL MOORE - THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST PIECE OF EXCREMENT | |||
|
Ken Berwitz Some weeks ago I blogged a video of some idot from James Dobson's Focus on the Family, named Stuart Shepard, "facetiously" (not to me) asking people to pray for torrential rains on the day Barack Obama spoke at Saint Barac...er, Invesco Field in Denver. I reamed him for it and he deserved it. A lot of the mainstream media reamed him just as badly and they had every reason to. His comments, whether "humorous" or not, were intolerant and imbecilic. So now what do we have? We have michael moore doing even worse while on (where else?) "Countdown" with keith olbermann. Let me show you, via excerpts from an article by Jeff Poor of the Business & Media Institute: Michael Moore:
Hurricane Coming During GOP Convention 'Proof There Is a God in
Heaven' Sometime you really have wonder at what cost some are willing to see their political ideology advanced. To liberal documentary
filmmaker Michael Moore, the bounds are seemingly endless. Moore has made a
recent career out of attacking President George W. Bush, bashing conservatives
and criticizing business. His latest outrage occurred on MSNBC’s August 29
“Countdown with Keith Olbermann” and when he commented about the coincidental
timing of an unfortunate disaster – the potential for Hurricane Gustav to make
landfall at the beginning of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul,
“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven,” Moore said, laughing. “To have it planned at the same time – that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities – at the top of the Mississippi River.” After that comment, Moore backed off a bit and did say he hoped nobody got hurt and he hoped everybody is taking cover. However, he failed to make note of the $43.625 billion in damage the last hurricane to strike New Orleans caused – Hurricane Katrina in 2005 – and the billions of dollars the storm cost taxpayers. . And there you see it. One of the countless instances in which someone from the left says something absolutely despicable and - unless this is treated very differently than almost any other instance - the mainstream media ignoring it. Unlike Stuart Shepard, michael moore isn't some nonentity from an evangelical group. He is a nationally and internationally known filmmaker, an academy award winner. Yet I doubt you will see or hear a word about this from the sources which excoriated Shepard. And if you think keith olbermann had a problem with it, you are living in a parallel universe altogether. Or, put another way, the game is much easier to play when the referee is rooting for your side. | |||
