ON THE LEFT: Moore, Chomsky, Dunn


'Capitalism' filmmaker Michael Moore isn't feeling the love


Well, Moore has had it. "I'm tired," he says from the green room of KCET, where he has been railing for a half-hour about Wall Street and the Bush administration in support of his latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, which opened nationwide Friday.

The film did well this weekend, bringing in an estimated $4.9 million on just 962 screens.

"I went through eight years of fighting one of the most disastrous presidencies this country has ever seen," he says. "And you know what, folks? I'm not doing this alone anymore. If you're going to sit on the bench and just wait for my next movie to come out, or watch Obama have to fight all these crazies (alone), I've got better things to do."

Bonus vid (H/T: HotAir): Noam Chomsky connects the Limbaugh/Nazi dots...a real eye-roller here:



And the now-famous Anita Dunn video:

  2. Chimpshit's 15 minutes should have been up years ago.
    I keep waiting for the disproof of his big theory that language is innate. At this point, that theory seems unlikely, and evidence keeps coming up that he's wrong, but nothing definitive.
    And if he's completely wrong in his own field, it doesn't say much for his statements outside that area.

  4. BHO's top advisor's favorite philosopher killed 70 million to take and hold power. That is the type of judgement that is guiding BHO.

    Chumpsky is a commie. Who has never acknowledge the Killing Fields.

    Michael Moore's lips are brown from all the commie ass he's kissed.

    A trifecta thread, commies everywhere!

  5. How much more proof do we need that the Left is populated at the highest levels by radicals and raving loons?
    They must know that they're fast becoming laughingstocks. I wonder if Rahm is going to start muzzling these idiots?

  6. And Michael Moore seems to think he's doing all the heavy lifting on the left, all by himself.

    Poor guy. Well, I guess he gives Obama credit for "fighting the crazies", too.

  7. Chompsky is on my list of octogenarians who are well past their sell-by date. He should take a long cruise with Jimmy Carter and Justice Stevens.

  9. I wish that Moore would STFD and STFU. He is a hater of democracy and fights against everything that is great about it. Having read most of his books and seen a few of his films he has nothing good to say about society and grossly distorts what he does show. In fact he keeps his eyes out for people trying to use the same tactics he has used on himself.

  10. Let me get this straight... the Democrat talking points are:

    When Rush is accused of saying racists things which it turns out he didn't actually say, it's proof not only he, but the entire Republican Party is racist.

    But when Anita Dunn praises Mao in a speech to school children and refers to the Communist dictator and murderer or 70 million people as one of her two "favorite political philosophers", it's perfectly reasonable of her, and just another example of how Glenn Beck is a hysterical wingnut for bringing it up?

    Is that how the left thinks today?

  15. Beck makes a good point. This would be like him saying something flattering about Hitler. What do you suppose would (and should) happen to his career if he did that?

    What will happen to Dunn? The excuse that she was "joking" is absurd.

    Some of us for a year before the election were hopping up and down about Obama's life and associations and that he would be unable to break with that.

    The left called us McCarthities, the center and RINOs said he was pragmatic and govern to the center. I hope he would but was skeptical.

    Sometimes I hate being right.

  88. I hadn't heard the "Mao" thing until today. It's the kind of thing I can hear lefty academics saying. Of course if you brought up the 70 million dead before the Glenn Beck thing, she would have offered up some lame excuse/rationalization. Now if you brought it up she'd say "Oh, another Glen Beck-bot."

    And yet I note that Machiavelli was quite clear that he was not *advocating* the ruthlessly amoral approach associated with his name; he in fact distinguished this method from what a good, "Christian prince" should so. He was merely describing what appeared to be *effective* means for gaining and keeping power.

    (Verse 1)-Kim

    I'm on MySpace and its type late

    It's computer love
    we dont mind the hate
    they just MySpace freaks tryna find a date
    We up all night ,havin CyberSEX
    He chat ,I chat though we neva met
    He said he wanna explore me like tha internet
    its like a orgasm everytime he send a text
    He wanna download
    He likes to download
    Lil' Kim songs and put 'em on his ringtone
    he even got my screensaver on his I-phone
    I get more hits than a TMZone
    we goin back and forth
    sendin emails
    he a thug so I hit em' on his g mail
    his sense of humor got me writin L-O-L
    I sent pictures of myself straight to tha cell

    [Chorus]

    (Verse 2)
    [ Lil Kim Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
    He been lookin at my sexy pics

    he wanna kiss my sexy lips
    and download me on his floppy disk
    Lil' Kim is the only one on his mind
    he wanna come thru and put me on his hard drive
    3 o'clock in the morning ,we be online
    others send friend requests
    but they get denied
    he type I Miss You
    I type back to let him know the feelings mutual
    It's just MySpace love
    but its beautiful
    he love to watch my videos on YouTube
    hey ,its like everytime I log on
    I get so turned on
    Computer Love playin in the back

    the only one that have me up all night long
    feels like a fantasy
    chemistry is so strong

    [Chorus}

    I hope you look like your pictures do
    and when I see you
    up close and personal
    so I can touch you
    late night all in U insomniac
    im here now
    grab me where my heart burn at
    I meant what I said when I typed that
    Lil Mama scream my name if you like that {yes I am the Computer love}
    aint nothin like computer love

    [Chorus}

    And then we'd still have the choice of eating the rat and tree bark raw, or using the book to cook it.

  130. There was something also disingenuous about her characterization of Mother Theresa. Mother Theresa didn't do what she did simply on account of marching to her own drum. It was not a reflection of egoism. It grew out of a deep faith in God and a conscious decision to follow the model of Jesus in the most literal way possible. In that sense, Mother Theresa is really the exact opposite of the moral relativism and solipsism that Dunn is praising.

    That said, I'm sure Dunn cannot comprehend the idea that someone would do something out of faith rather than egoism.

  133. I can study Mao, understand Mao, even think some of his political ideas are perceptive. After all he ran a successful revolution and the most populous country for years.

    Like one of my favorite political thinkers said....

    “How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”

    Ronald Wilson Reagan

    Studying and understanding Mao is one thing.

    Naming him as a "favorite" political philosopher says something.
    It says you are in agreement with them also.

    The whole clip is simply inane. "Free to be you and me", blah blah... okay, Anita, got it. But citing Mao on this point is like picking out a Hitler quote as an example of a "spunky, can-do spirit". At best, it's ignorant; more likely, obscene.

  142. The government closed the 2009 fiscal books.

    It's official.

    US budget deficit hits record 1.4 trillion dollars

    The federal budget deficit has surged to an all-time high of $1.42 trillion as the recession caused tax revenues to plunge while the government was spending massive amounts to stabilize the US financial system and jump-start the economy.

    Not necessary! We have a dedicated forum. :-)

    CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO "DOMESTICS"!

    Hey, folks! :-) We are looking forward to a fun forum, chock full of great information for your home and garden including cooking, recipes, entertaining, decorating, gardening, crafts and much more. If you are interested in contributing your particular expertise to be published on the forum on a regular or occasional basis or as a one-shot guest appearance, we are VERY interested in YOU!

    I've been working with Jorline (Man of Many Great Ideas!) who came up with a plan to designate a theme for each month. Some of them will be obvious, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas for these last few months of 2009, and later we'll have to get more creative. ;-)

    Today's quest is to find a wine connoisseur who would be willing to do a regular column for us. Tomorrow, who knows? :-) I'm pretty good at zone 6 gardening, but it's a great, big country, and we'd love to get more of a cross-section of gardeners on board. Well, you get the idea. You can contact me when somebody explains how to get my email to show up in my profile, or before then at iamlittleoldaldy at hotmail dot com.

    Thanks in advance for all of your help! :-)
