I don't begrudge the man for his success, but I do for his hypocrisy. How can he complain and make films complaining about capitalism when he is a shining example of it? He makes films (products) that other people pay money to see. That's capitalism!!! If he really didn't believe in capitalism maybe he should give his films away for free.

He also complains about the fact that employees at corporations get paid a fraction of what the CEOs get paid. I'd like to know how much the camera operators, sound guys, light riggers, electricians, caterers, etc. make on his films compared to what he makes.

He's also a liar. Anyone who owns 9 homes is part of the 1% - I don't know how you can dispute that.

That's not an attack on his success, but an attack on his character for trying to look like he's exactly like the people of OWS that he was sympathizing with. Same goes for Obama and almost every politician in Washington - to somehow claim you're out to get "those rich guys" means you should be pointing the thumb instead of the finger.

Thanks for a reasonable response amidst a bunch of ankle-biting ad hominem attacks.

Everyone has to know Moore is a disingenuous,lying asshat, right? Right?!

All those guys are union so they probably get pretty decent wages.

[–]Halo-OneReagan Conservative[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Decent, yes but nowhere near Mr. Moore's pay. Just like most factories here. The workers are unionized and get "decent" pay but the CEOs get much, much more.

[–]Flameon3k 0 ポイント1 ポイント

The studio is the CEO in this case, but I get your point yeah Moore makes a lot more than his camera guy.

[–]DranoshSoCon, FinCon, antistatist, anti"equality" 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Pretty sure he doesnt employ union members

[–]Flameon3k 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Everybody in Hollywood is unionized, you can't make a movie otherwise. Even the background actors have a union.

[–]cth1ic_warrior 0 ポイント1 ポイント

So they get millions like Moore?

[–]Flameon3k 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Yes they get millions.

Thats exactly what I meant.

For someone who hates capitalism so much, he sure does enjoy the benefits of owning capital.

[–]HBwolverine70 2 ポイント3 ポイント

He's a 'huge' fan of conspicuous consumption....obviously!

[–]RadioFreeNola 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Reminds of Rage Against the Machine trashing capitalism from the stage, then taking their millions to the bank at the end of the tour.

He can host a lot of illegals in those homes.

You can be sure the open borders he promotes end at his well fortified compounds.

No one has ever gone broke underestimating the baleful ignorance of the American people. Porcine vats of rotting fish oil like this disaffected example have demonstrated it is possible to get quite wealthy catering to bigots and low information voters. Moore's movies are studies in the art of disinformation, lies and propaganda. They are served up to hungry crowds of know nothing's earnestly seeking to know even less. Moore is a master of "negative knowledge." People who follow this foul cresture's films have to unlearn their lessons before they can be truly ignorant. Remember, this howling hypocrite sat next to Jimmy "JC" Carter at the Democrat convention as proof that Party knows lies and liars are integral to its success among voters.

You are describing the fridges of both liberals and conservatives. Ignorance is not bound by ideology.

[–]FlyingPeacockLive Free or Die 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Ignorance is not bound by ideology.

That statement is gold.

[–]Achievement_Haunter 1 ポイント2 ポイント

My fridge ain't got no rotten fish oil. That's a fact, sir.

[–]HBwolverine70 5 ポイント6 ポイント

The pied piper of stupid people (liberals looking for anything to feign outrage at). He, Al Gore, Michael Bloomberg, Leland Yee, Harry Reid, Obama and the rest of the limousine liberals leading the brainless idiots to do as they say and not as they do...........

[–]cth1ic_warrior 0 ポイント1 ポイント

He's given indulgences by the left wing loonies who adore him because he speaks "the truth" (note: he's a liar and a hypocrite).

    The subject of Moore's movies are conservatives. Moore bashes everything conservatives stand for. Moore is obsessed with the political destruction of conservative candidates and conservative office holders. Conservatives ignore Moore's ridicule and attacks at their peril.

      One reason Mr. Moore succeeded was no one bothered to address the howling insanity. We figured no one would believe such baleful nonsense. We were wrong. Lots of folks not only believed Moore's lies, these lies became accepted as common knowledge and were breathlessly repeated endlessly in the mainstream media. Moore was a successful serial rapist. Not all success needs to be celebrated.

      Conservatives are completely free to ignore Moore's propaganda films because the people paying good money to see them are never going to vote for a conservative in the first place.

      I'm fine with letting them all be brainwashed dupes while the rest of go about happily living our lives.
