At
war with Mr. Moore
Gerry
Wachovsky
Those
of you who keep up with my column week after
week know that there is a certain person
in the political world that I am fascinated
with. I write about this man from time to
time, attempting to dispel his lies and
nonsense, attempting to show you, the reader,
what really happened in the situation in
question. I think a sufficient amount of
time has passed since I last wrote an exposé
on this half-wit, this philanderer of all
things fictitious, this dabbler of fact-distortion,
the "tubby hater of everything American,"
Michael Moore.
A
quick visit to Michael Moore's Web site
will show you that this man is hell-bent
on two objectives -- bashing President Bush
and just about everything the man has accomplished
in his term, and recruiting more followers
into the 'Cult of Moore' to vote against
Bush in the next election. Periodically,
Mikey updates a section of his site called
"Mike's Message," which serves
as a sort of call-to-arms to all of his
disciples, and allows Moore to begin with
a new indoctrination session, or, more colloquially,
a Republican bash-fest. His latest
message dated Sept. 23 is no different.
In
this message, entitled, "And Now a
Chance to Bid Farewell to Mr. Bush,"
Michael Moore announces his latest accomplishment
-- getting "over 30,000" people
on his mailing list to send letters to Gen.
Wesley Clark, encouraging him to run for
president in the 2004 election. Michael,
always the most modest of men, took partial
credit for Clark's announcement to run,
despite the fact that Moore still claims
that he has "no plans to endorse anyone
at this point." The simple act of him
telling "over 30,000" fans --
which is a questionable figure itself --
to urge Clark to run is bleeding with endorsement.
How in the world can Moore keep a straight
face and say he is not endorsing anyone
in light of this?
Furthermore,
is Mikey not aware that at a 2001 Arkansas
GOP dinner, Gen. Clark not only praised
the Bush administration, but also the Reagan
administration and, according to http://www.DrudgeReport.com,
"American military involvement overseas?"
With the ferocious hate that Moore has for
President Bush, it seems to me that he would
be a little more suspicious of Clark, with
his former GOP ties, that's all.
In
other news, Moore has a new book coming
out Oct. 7, entitled, "Dude, Where's
My Country?" According to a small synopsis
of the book found on Mikey's Web site, "when
the powers-that-be succeeded in ignoring-and
then silencing-the nation's widespread dissent
over war, one man stood on an Oscar stage
and, in front of a billion people, outed
the commander-in-chief for his fictitious
presidency and his fictitious war."
First of all, to assume that the majority
of the nation was against the war in the
beginning is a fallacy. According to an
April Gallup poll taken soon after the war
had begun, a whopping 76 percent of Americans
supported President Bush's decision to wage
war with Iraq. In fact, since January, the
number of Americans supporting the war has
continuously been higher than the number
of those who disapprove, according to the
Gallup Organization's website, http://www.gallup.com.
Another thing: when did "the powers-that-be"
succeed in silencing anybody? I suppose
Mikey has information that neither I, nor
the rest of America for that matter, have.
It seems the only thing that is fictitious
here is what Moore passes off as fact.
Only
in America can someone like Moore exist.
Mikey twists numbers and facts to his liking,
misleads people through his books and movies,
and hates any and all Republicans simply
because. One thing is for certain: Moore,
the "tubby hater of everything American,"
will continue to spew his rhetoric on the
masses, and unfortunately, people will continue
to buy into it. I, however, will be here
to call this man on his fabrications, and
if I can make one person question Mikey's
agenda, I know I have made a difference.
