This one does make me scratch my head.

Warren is pretty much your run-of-the-mill evangelist money-grubbing dickhead.

If the Obama camp thinks that picking this guy will somehow be an olive branch to the Christian Right, they're out of their minds.

We need less poll trolls and more honest leadership.

Pandering to bigotry and ignorance never does any good.

This video fails to mention that Toyota, Honda, Nissan as well as some German auto makers all have factories here in the US and they are doing very well. They, however, make fuel sensible cars that have a much higher reliability and much better resale value.

I, for one, would like to see a massive shake-up in the "Big 3". Flush out some of those highly overpaid executives and their multi-million dollar bonuses.

Sadly, there will be some people out of jobs and some pensions will be lost, but those money grubbing execs are the ones to blame for this. Why is it the taxpayer's responsibility to fix this mess they created? Where were the millionaire execs when I lost my job and almost lost my house? Oh, that's right, they were golfing.

No shit syncron, all Ichiro wanted was some grub and a chill....He was however, up for whatever the fuck, "Fuck you, I'm outta the cage, BITCH!!!....silly humans-

I learn and teach proper gun safety. Just as any one else needs to learn how to drive a car safely. Yes I agree with common sense gun laws, but like copyright laws, FISA, and Patriot Act (Espionage Act)I do not agree with the amendments of very well written laws that already do their jobs.

He struck down Illinois gun rights, Chicago anti gun laws(supports them), and the right to own a Semi Auto in certain states. When there are bans on Semi Auto, Full Auto pistols, then there is a ban on the majority of handguns by proxy. Pump guns and Revolvers are unwieldy, I'm not talking about the right to defense I'm talking about the right to own and bear weapons that are formidable to the weapons that the good guys have.

They dont want the people to have these weapons because as is said: it impedes the right of them to enforce laws. No, it scares the shit out of authority, which is exactly what is needed. Criminals could care less what gun laws you put out there. Again I agree with common sense laws, but I do not agree with radical expansion of said laws.

On another note: Mcain is bush, Obama is a Fake Idol, Nader is a conspiracy theorist, and Lobbyist are money grubbing ass hats. The choice is? Gotdamn that's a tough choice.

To choggie, many presidents have warned us and yet we still continue to follow the lead lemming.

It hurts me, sometimes, to hear this guy speak. It's what I think a lot of us have wanted a politician to say for so long. And it's sort of ridiculous that it's taken this long.

I do worry, though. I can't believe anyone this intelligent, poised, and uncorrupt could have made it this far as a politician. The system weeds them out early and often. He must have some dark secret.

Either that, or he did that I had planned to do if I ever considered public office: pretend to be a money-grubbing, corrupt, corporate-whore politician all the way until I hit what I considered my crest. And then I'd Trojan Horse the motherfuckers.

But that wouldn't work anymore these days, since your record sticks with you forever, and boy oh boy doesn't the media love bringing up your past.

its xenophobia parallel to blaming all the problems of Germany circa 1930s and WW1 on the Jews.

Did someone say "Godwin"?

I happen to think thats a bullshit "law" anyway, but you brought it up. Lets go to 2008 instead then, do I think every member of the cult of scientology are either evil manipulating money-grubbing scammers, or batshit crazy movie stars? No. But scientology is crazy. its an evil scam man-made for all the usual reasons, money and power, and the world would be better off without that kind of nonsense. Islam is the exact same thing. It is totalitarian, intolerant, primitive, organized fascism. It thrives on ignorance and discourages education, and promotes indoctrination in its place. This is why my Godwin is appropriate and yours probably isnt. (I dont know much about Wilders, and I expect I'll probably disagree with him on many things, but comparing his little movie to Nazi germany's relentless propaganda machine is probably stretching things just a little.)

Its so much easier to say its the evil muslims!!!111 then saying perhaps our foreign policy with regards to Saudi Arabia, Isreal, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq is and was deeply flawed.

Thank you for walking right into my anticipated criticism and mistaking my opposition to Islam as opposition to muslims, basically by quoting the claim I described as "stupid shit like that".

Also nice on your part to assess that since I "hate all the evil muslims" I automatically see every foreign policy decision the USA and Europe has ever made as absolutely flawless. Guess thats where my hundreds of anti-Bush, anti-Iraq war posts come from.

For clarification, unlike Geert Wilders, I am not frightened shitless when I see the "Number of muslims" counter in my country sky-rocket, I consider myself a world citizen, and place or culture of origin of the people around me means close to nothing. What I care about is whether people and society have to suffer. I dont want to live in a theocracy, I will stand up for the rights of women to wear whatever the fuck they want, and eat in whatever restaurant they want. And our press to print or publish whatever the hell they want. As long as these things are guaranteed for everyone, Islam or scientology, or nazism can be whatever the hell it wants to be for all I care.

Too bad this little geek promo is completely wrong. Chicks may get pissed at the jocks who forget their anniversary, but they'll never go for the geek unless they are money grubbing whores. They female fantasy man who is thoughtful, sensitive, and reads sex manuals is seen as "needy" in the real world, and that's never sexy. Even if she "dates" the geek, she'll be sleeping with the bastard who doesn't notice her haircut.

Revenge of the Nerds indeed.

The proper thing to do is to call it what it is: a Faith. An excentric, insane, supremist, exclusive, money-grubbing, murdering, cheating, and deceiving faith.

This goes along with this video here:

At first I thought they were just a bunch of money grubbing nuts, but the info in that documentary about prison camps for children as well as adults casts them in a whole new light.

they displaced all those salamanders and grubs from their natural habitats just to film that? Not to mention all the tires that were displaced from their natural habitats. I'm going to have to flag this one as

hybrid cars and vegan diets.....lemme share a quick story, happened just the other day-
Went to the gas station. All the pumps were being used, save one. This one, on the end of the line of pumps, had a vehicle parked so close to the pump lane, I had to approach at an angle parallel to the pump and the vehicle mentioned, to get in. The occupants of the vehicle, were in the restaurant, grubbing away. Their vehicle, a spankin' new Hybrid somthinerother. Being the asshole I can be sometimes, my first impulse, was to interrupt their dinner, to alert their thoughtless asses, to the error of their way. The damn parking lot had at least 30 other parking spots, that would have perhaps protected their precious mini-belcher, from some errant driver wanting gas. Instead, I left them a kind note, note unlike some of the kinder and gentler comments I leave for some of the out-of-touch here on the sift.....( seem to recall the use of the word moron)

My point??? (this goes for most of the emotionally disturbed vegans I have met as well) Forest for the goddamn trees, the ilk that parrot the points this tool Dennis seems to embarace for the sake of who knows what, seem to have the same mental disorder....a combination, of passive-aggressive action towards the less "aware" meat-bots of the planet, and some goddamn sense of superiority to the other meat-bots who deal with the current paradigm, without whining, bitching, preaching and prosyletizing.....their intentions are good, bad, or otherwise, and their broken record of simple answers to complex problems, dwarfed by their ineffectual tactics.

The situation: Global Warming. The culprit, Earth and her relationship to, and position in, the solar system.
The situation: Black gold, and the keepers of knowledge and power. If the real pollution was called a spade, the blame would be placed on the polluters of minds, the constructors of economics and the current clusterfuck of paper currency, and everyone's addiction, to sitting on their ass talking, and continuing to feed the beast which enslaves them.....

This shit won't change gradually for the better, but it can change with a bit of pain, suffering, and BS&T. Conferences/debates like this, are like dirty band-aids on sucking chest wounds......

was that a steam powered version of the GRUB boot loader?

It's great how he tries to grub money from us at the end. "Don't donate to Amnesty Int'l or Doctors Without Borders; give that money to a blogger who'll stand in some talking head's driveway and nervously ask two asinine questions once the guy is out of earshot."

you can keep pulling it, you ass-faced money-grubbing, blood-sucking lawyer-goons, but we'll keep finding replacements! mwhahahaha!

@Slyrr

While your argument makes some sense from a very greedy perspective (and yes, I know that one of humanity's biggest flaws is greed), I just can’t find myself convinced of it just yet. Have you ever suspected that maybe he actually, i don't know, stood behind his beliefs for reasons other than profit?
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not one to trust anyone, and I expect the worst from people, but something about the whole "Moore is nothing but a money-grubbing asshole that's trying to manipulate society so he gets a fatter paycheck" that I've heard from so many people just doesn't make much sense to me. I guess because his history shows that he's genuinely cared for activism for pretty much his whole life. From being personally effected in the whole Flint, Michigan fiasco up til now. He throughout school did all kinds of positive activism, did some pretty crazy things (without anyone even knowing who he was). And now, having seen SiCKO (through videosift =p), the documentary itself is very genuine.
Will I hold what you said past him, registering it impossible to be true? Of course not, people never cease to surprise me. But I just haven't been convinced of it yet. All I've seen is just a bunch of insults without citation thrown at him because he does what he does, and not everyone agrees with it.


But about all of your other points, I can pretty much easily disagree with about all of them. First of all, it was 9th place at the Box Office. I'm not sure that's 'getting the tar beat out of it', considering it's a documentary. No, I'd think that should be under the "very successful" category. I'm not sure what documentary's you've seen recently that have beaten that (aside from Fahrenheit 9/11, of course).

And also, from my perspective, he didn't go "stomping with rage" at the fact that CNN shared their opinion about the film. He was "stomping with rage" at the fact that there was an entire session of nit picking going on towards his documentary before he was even allowed to speak. Not to mention pretty much the entire segment was proven false, as well. I don't know about you, Slyrr, but I'd be pretty mad too if I had made a documentary, only for some news segment to trample on it with inaccuracies, showing the public outright lies about the film. You're saying you wouldn't be mad about that? I think you would.

"I'm sure he agrees with free speech - but only the free speech that agrees with his point of view. CNN has just seen an example of how 'free' Moore would like speech to be by trying to stomp on them."
A good example of your accusation would be if Michael Moore tried to pay money to have that segment taken off of the air. THAT'd be him not believing in Free Speech. He did absolutely nothing that screamed "My opinion is the only correct opinion!". He hated the segment, got mad at its inaccuracies, and proved it wrong. If that's not free speech, then I don't know what is.

"Even conservative estimates say that for the government to pay for this so-called 'free' health coverage that Moore dreams of, your ever-ready goverment is poised to take at least 50% out of each and every one of your paychecks" Not that I’m supremely educated on this little nugget, but this sounds extremely distorted and very wrong. I'm DEFINITELY going to need citation on that one, or at least more reasoning behind this, because I don't see Canadians getting 50% of their paychecks taken out (Yes, I understand GROSS, not NET).

"We all saw what happened when Moore ran into an opposing point of view - he started gnashing his teeth and stamping his feet in rage. Because he THOUGHT these reporters were supposed to be on 'his' side and say nothing against him." I know, right? Because these guys were SO FOR HIM during his last documentary release, Fahrenheit 9/11. SO SUPPORTIVE that they attempted to rip it to shreds. Damn, I’m surprised Michael didn’t expect a hug from Blitzer before the interview started. Maybe THAT’S why he was upset.

"Fact is, this movie Moore made is so wrong in so many instances, that even the 'news' network that wrote glowing reviews for it couldn't believe all his distortions and inaccuracies." Um, what? First of all, that doesn't make sense. Second, if you're referring to CNN, they simply said "It was good, but these were the minor details that aren’t true…”. Even Wolf Blitzer after the interview admitted that he thought the documentary was especially powerful and overall “good”, and that he liked it. There are so many other sources (both right and left) that researched this documentary and said that it ‘checked out’ as being true. So what exactly are you referring to?

There’s more, but this is entirely too long already. Sorry for this.
