Today's Michael Moore Meme All Over Facebook
   
I didn't see his recent TV appearance and am betting this was taken out of context. Can someone help a gal out here and find the conversation that led up to it?

'"They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own -- they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it," Michael Moore told Laura Flanders of GRITtv.

"I think we need to go back to taxing these people at the proper rates. They need to -- we need to see these jobs as something we some, that we collectively own as Americans and you can't just steal our jobs and take them someplace else," Moore concluded.'

Thanks

It's a "meme" when they don't believe it despite not doing any basic research.  Sadly, the DUmp realizes that Moore's comments weren't taken out of context, so silence reigns.  One brave soul says what they all believe, though:

What meme is going around? I didn't see anything in what Moore said that's wrong.

Nobody replied since 7:30 this morning.  So I went to the Ed Schultz message board.  Slim pickings as there just aren't many people.  Two guys arguing, but not entertaining.  Then I went to a Detroit board.  One comment saying that Communists are thieves.  
RealClearPolitics has 1483 comments.  I can't find many DUmmies there, but there sure are alot of patriots.

I vote Republican because that party believes you should keep more of what you earn. I am not a slave that must labor for others. I do not owe you something simply because I exist. You are not owed anything simply because you exist. I was not obligated at birth to carry another person on my back because they can't carry their own weight. So....because I work hard for what I have and when I desire more I work even harder that makes me a a pig? What would happen if I decided I needed this fat losers money? Who can I vote for to confiscate his wealth? And while were at it void his citizenship?


ETA  Somebody called him Pizza the Hut!   :lmao:  Never heard that.

I agree with Mikey. We need to confiscate his wealth right away instead of him just sitting on it, not helping anyone with it. Although if he's sitting on it I doubt anyone would want it.

He'd be worth millions....if you boil him down to whale oil.

They love Moore until he talks about wealth confiscation because they too know how hollow it sounds. Sure he can tear after (old) GM, Bush or the lack of socialist health care but when it comes to the subject of money its the same reason Sally Struthers' fat ass got booted from pitching for charities for starving kids; it begs mockery.

I'm amazed they even acknowledge that fat bastard. He's a worse walkin' contradiction than the DUmmies!

Even they see thru his projection! Pretty pathetic, ain't it?
