Noel Sheppard of NewsBusters came across this over the weekend, and I feel even though this is a couple of days old, it's one of those idiotic videos that people should see - it's definitely a head scratcher coming from Moore himself. Sheppard reports:
Schlockumentary film producer Michael Moore on Friday said the McDonald's that's two blocks from Ground Zero killed more people than the nineteen hijackers involved in the 9/11 attacks. Chatting with Bill Maher on HBO's "Real Time," Moore also accused Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin of being America's Taliban. "We should start calling them Cleric Gingrich and Mullah Taliban Palin," said Moore.Why don't we have words for people like Gingrich and Palin? You know, because they're essentially our mullahs, you know, our Taliban. We don't ever really refer to them as, but we should start calling them Cleric Gingrich and Mullah Taliban Palin, or whatever. See how that, see how that fits. Because I think that their, their level of bigotry is so un-American, and, I just, I just. [...] Hey, how about that McDonald's two blocks from Ground Zero, Bill? That's killed, that's killed more people than the nineteen hijackers.
This easily takes the cake for idiot of the day.
