Michael Moore-on and 9/11

[Crash]

Ok, so apparently michael moore (michael moron) said the passengers of the 9/11 attacks were scaredy cats because they didn't fight back. Apparently if they weren't all white dudes, and were black instead, they would have stood up to the terrorists. This pissed off a lot of people. (myself included)

here's the link: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=30367

the reason they didn't fight back michael moron, was because the terrorists told all the passengers to be calm, and that they were returning to the airport. If no everyone stayed calm, everyone would be ok.

I like his filmmaking to an extent, but his political attacks are just retarded.

If he really said that, then he needs to rethink that statement. The people aboard the first 2 planes to hit didn't have a clue on what to do because they've never seen it happen before (in the news at least). It took until the 4th plane before passengers knew about the other hijackings and though "We aint letting a 4th one **** with us" and took matters into their own hands.

To be fair, that's not the most credible news source.

I think it's safe to say that it's a pretty right wing religious site. Not that the views of these people aren't creible...it's just that these people just don't seem to like Michael Moore.

Check out some of the other headlines. Most of them have things to do with religious people or homosexuality or the new testament on DVD.

There are also ads on the page about books that bash Clinton.

I won't believe the Michael Moore thing until someone can find the story on another website. Until then I'll have a hard time taking that tidbit seriously. Maybe a neutral news website?

Found it in the Washington times. The way the Washington Times words it, it seems he was being very sarcastic. There's a part of Bowling for Columbine where he talks about people being afraid of black people. But even if he was being sarcastic what he said came out very wrong. Sure doesn't make him look good.

A lot of his work is entertaining but he does have the tendency to lose his mind from time to time. Regardless I think his new 9/11 movie is going to convince a lot of neutral voters to go for Kerry.

I don't think anything Michael Moore does changes anyone's opinions or voting. If you lean to the left, you are going to stand up and applaud everything he puts out, regardless of the fact that he stages events, manipulates video and sometimes out and out lies, because you feel his intentions are in the right place. If you lean to the right you are going to completely dismiss anything he makes because he stages events, manipulates video and sometimes out and out lies.

Back on point, though, there has always been accusations that much of the inferences in Moore's work are inherently racist. He loves to draw lines between blacks and whites whenever possible, but these racist views are overlooked because they FAVOR black people. While favorable stereotypes may be more acceptable than negative ones, they are still wrong and racist at heart.
