1.) If Moore can get equity through sweat, he must own McDonald's by now.
2.) This is what happens when you belong to a party that refuses to say that anyone's ideas, no matter how absurd, are stupid and shouldn't be listened to. You should remember that liberals are constitutionally incapable of rejecting anything that attacks capitalism, morality, or America, regardless of how out there it is.

In honor of the new Democratic Party of Michael Moore: American Pie-Democrat Style

Jerry Falwell is a well-meaning guy

You're shitting me, right?

I have no problem with Soros, Moore and their moonbats owning the Democratic Party. It just guarantees Republican domination in the years to come.

I just hope the Republicans don't get a big head.

Bill,

I shit you not. I think he's pretty sincere. I don't agree with his fundamentalist outlook, but I don't think he's a huckster.

Well, everyone is a huckster in the public sphere. I don't think he's a *major* huckster.

I think there's some question as to whether or not Moore gives the Dems full value on their money...

Well, no offense Ace, but I wouldn't bother to describe falwell as a "well-meaning guy" when he says this just after 9-11:

"The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say: you helped this happen."

and his backpedal:

"I put all the blame legally and morally on the actions of the terrorist, [but America's] secular and anti-Christian environment left us open to our Lord's [decision] not to protect. When a nation deserts God and expels God from the culture ... the result is not good.
-- Rev. Jerry Falwell, The Washington Post (September 14, 2001)

and this quote:

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
-- Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)"

and

The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews.
-- Rev. Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)

and

"If we are going to save America and evangelize the world, we cannot accommodate secular philosophies that are diametrically opposed to Christian truth ... We need to pull out all the stops to recruit and train 25 million Americans to become informed pro-moral activists whose voices can be heard in the halls of Congress. I am convinced that America can be turned around if we will all get serious about the Master's business. It may be late, but it is never too late to do what is right. We need an old-fashioned, God-honoring, Christ-exalting revival to turn American back to God. America can be saved!"
- Jerry Falwell, "Moral Majority Report" for September, 1984.

I could go on.

"Well meaning?" He can fuck right off, is what he can do. By that standard of "well meaning," Michael Moore is well meaning, considering he thinks he's standing up for the little guy and minorities, he actually believes a lot of the delusional shit he's peddling.

Now the difference that the righties distance themselves from falwell is crucial, but he's a malignant douchebag, a boil on the ass of politics.

Thanks for the delightful mental image you created by linking the concepts of "sweat equity" and "Michael Moore," Ace. I'm going to have to scrub that out of my brain with a wire brush.

I actually was a Democrat until pretty recently, but these people are looking less and less like a credible national party. Political dialogue is healthy for everybody--Republicans, Democrats, the country as a whole--but the majority shareholders in the Democratic party are way beyond rational discussion.

I predict that in 20 years the Democrat Party will be an also ran, a "third party" that must petition to be on the ballot, like the Libertards and Watermelons do now.

As we see micheal mooron is still shooting his big mouth off he just hasnt learned from shooting his mouth off during the 2003 oscars but as the song gose A FOOL NEVER LEARNS
