Michael Moore targetted by U.S. Treasury Department

They deserve more than a few of those.

Fucking Gambinos in the White House.

 

No, it's not a joke. If they were caught, they'd be in serious trouble. The law is the law. No travel is allowed to Cuba, unless you jump through enough hoops to make Evel Knievel jealous.

 

The law is the law is perhaps the most lazy argument to justify selective enforcement I've ever heard.

Do you really need me to start naming other things that are or were against the law that everyone who has posted on this thread has broken often?

 

So you're going with the "woe as me, the Feds are picking on Moore" tack? With the case of those scufflaw spring breakers going to Havanna, the Feds have no proof that they went. So no prosecution is likely.

But Michael Moore, on the other hand, has evidence of his trip on film. Imagine that! Add to that all of the interviews he's giving, talking about his trip to Cuba and just daring the Feds to bust his ass.

I'll be frank. I hate Michael Moore. He's a liar, a con artist, a hypocrite (how can he be so virulently socialist yet pocket tons and tons of cash) and he's very annoying to boot. He's in the Michael Savage and Keith Olberman wing of nutcases who make politics a fetid swamp of boorish miscreants who try to out-shout each other. I can't stand it.

Prosecuting him is not selective enforcement. When you wave a smoking joint in front of a cop, rather than smoking it smartly and discretely in the privacy of your home, you deserve what you get. Same with Moore.

It's all about making him a martyr in the eye of the "progressives," Moveon.org crowd or whatever the far left calls themselves these days. And it'll work and drum up publicity and more ticket sales for another pedestrian "documentary" chocked with the kind of half truths and distortions that'd make Joseph Goebbels proud.

 

Oh, I get it.

Moore's a socialist.

Everything's so much clearer now.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

Then he broke a petty law and shall pay a petty price.

Just like you and I when we speed and are caught.

 

Lemme see...
Moore favors government run health care, more Federal redistribution of income via various giveaway vote-buying schemes, Federal control or at least a lot of intervention into the affairs of corporations, exorbiant income taxes (following the Marxist truism of "From each according to his ability to each according to his need), a gun ban and a living wage.

Sounds like socialism to me.

But that aside, do you not agree with my point about breaking the law in secret vs. flouting the law for all to see?

 

I think in a few short posts you have shown yourself not worthy of having any kind of debate about this with, and, frankly, I tire of trying to explain that anything less than an evangelical belief in the purity of capitalist markets does not equal socialism.

So, no.

 

Eh, you might be right.

I'm still not having the conversation again.

 

Oh, please, let Mr. 28 percent and his pet DOJ take this one to court.
And, Ragu, all due and al; that, but anyone who thinks MM is a Marxist couldn't have found one at Stalin's stag party. I mean, honestly.

 

Fenian -- Are you supporting Michael Moore?

I mean, he is no bigger of a self-promoting, mostly irrelevant, grandstanding windbag than, say, Jason Whitlock who you spend the better part of every day ripping in some way shape or form on these threads.
