Too Funny: Lefty Lard-Ass Michael Moore Refuses To Admit He Is Part Of The 1%…

(Mediaite) — Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker who spends much of his time traveling the promote his political ideals. Given his background, Piers Morgan seemed skeptical of Moore’s claims that he, too, was the famed 99% behind the Occupy Wall Street protests. Before a studio audience in a special edition of Piers Morgan Tonight, the host pressed Moore to explain just how he wasn’t a part of the nation’s economic elite, and got little clarification other than Moore’s desire the corporation that pays him “rue the day” they ever gave him money.

The inquiry came from Twitter, where one user asked why Moore appeared so disgusted by capitalism despite benefiting greatly from capitalism. “I’m here talking against my own interests– what’s wrong with me?” he joked, but didn’t really answer the question, other than to claim that “for a documentary filmmaker, I do very well.” When Morgan pushed him to explain how “very well” did not translate to elite levels of wealth, he merely said he felt “blessed,” given his high school education level, and claimed that “they made a huge mistake, putting me on TV.”

Moore continued to bash the wealthy, distancing himself from “a system that is unfair to working people” and concluding of the people that funded his first film, “I hope they rue the day.” He did not give any numbers to explain how his lifestyle did not conform with theirs.

More on the "Big Fat Liar" Michael Moore...and he really is a big fat liar:

OWS Supporter Michael Moore Lies on National Television About His Wealth: No I'm Not Worth Millions

According to our friends at Celebrity Net Worth, Moore's fortune currently totals $50 million:
Fahrenheit 911 raked in $230 million in theaters and another $3 million in DVD sales. After the theaters take their traditional 50% cut, that leaves roughly $130 million. Take away marketing, production and distribution expenses and Moore is conservatively left with $80 million. Moore was able to secure a deal from Miramax which guaranteed him 27% of his film’s net revenues, or roughly $21.6 million. Michael also was entitled to 50% of the profits of Sicko which are estimated to be $17 million.
Moore wants to dress and act as if he's just a regular guy part of the 99 percenters, but he is every bit a multimillionaire doing everything in his power to make more money for himself.
He invests his fortune in stocks - including the Left's most-hated company Halliburton! - and isn't pro-union when it comes to managing his own business.
That folks in this movement hold this man up as an icon for what they stand for is an indictment of how clueless and hypocritical they are as well.

Obese Blob Michael Moore Admits He Lied, Is Part Of The 1%…

Here’s the video of him on Tuesday denying he’s filthy rich

And here he is now backtracking (although he doesn’t mention his actual net worth, $50 million).

(MSNBC) — Anti-capitalist film director Michael Moore has drawn fire in recent days for standing with the Occupy Wall Street protesters while failing to acknowledge that he is part of the “1 percent,” not the 99 percent.
Now the director of “Capitalism: A Love Story” and other documentaries has come clean and admitted that he is indeed among the nation’s wealthiest citizens, but without providing details of just how rich he is.
In a post titled “Life Among the 1%” on his blog “Open Mike,” Moore recalls how he made his first millions when he sold the distribution rights to his 1989 breakthrough hit “Roger & Me.”

At the time of his $3 million windfall, Moore says he was just getting by on unemployment payments of $98 a week.
So what did he do with his newfound wealth? Moore says he “proudly” paid nearly $1 million in taxes, used $1 million to establish a charitable foundation and spent the other $1 million on a new car, payments on a New York City apartment and more donations, including helping to rebuild a church that had been burned down in his hometown of Flint, Mich.

“What remained went into a simple, low-interest savings account,” Moore said. “I made the decision that I would never buy a share of stock” — a resolution he said this week that he has kept to this day.

Of course Moore went on to become among the most successful documentary filmmakers in Hollywood. While “Roger & Me” made $6 million in box office receipts, later movies made far more, capped by his 2004 film “Fahrenheit 9/11” excoriating the Bush administration’s response to terrorism, which grossed over $222 million, according to IMDB.com.

That would certainly put him among the top 1 percent of earners (the current threshold is about $350,000 a year), although Moore said his income varies quite a bit from year to year, saying that some years “I don’t have a job. . . and so I make a lot less.”

Friday, November 4, 2011 @ 3:22 pm | OWS Leader Michael Moore Rails Against Capitalism At Occupy Denver Protest . . . Then Pimps His New Book At Nearby Bookstore…


Ten megatons of assploding hypocrisy.

(Denver Post) — Filmmaker and liberal activist Michael Moore told an enthusiastic Occupy Denver crowd of about 1,000 Thursday that he was not their leader.
“There is no leader to this movement,” the 57-year-old Oscar winner, flanked by two security guard in black suits, barked into a bullhorn microphone. “That’s why it’s such a large and growing movement.”
He said the rest of the country is watching the Occupy protest in Denver.

After a man near the front of a broad circle called out that he wanted to have Moore’s baby, Moore told the protesters, “That’s a Colorado kind of love.”

Dressed casually in a sweat suit, loose brown jacket and white sneakers, Moore spoke for 20 minutes, after showing up an hour and 20 minutes late for his speech.

As expected, he railed with the passion of tent revival preacher on what he sees as the misdeeds of Wall Street, the rich and Congress, calling the latter the middleman for the first two.

Moore compared the Occupy cause to the civil rights, women’s rights and gay rights movements, while citing a poll that showed broad public support for the anti-Wall Street protest.
“So it’s ours to mess up,” he said he told the raucous crowd.

Moore was in Denver on a tour to promote his $27 memoir, “Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life.” He has also stopped by Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities.

Moore is scheduled to sign books at the Tattered Cover Book Store at 2526 East Colfax Ave. tonight.

What I find so disingenuous about Michael Moore is that he is one of those 1% that he rails against.
I wouldn't be surprised if he is worth more than any UPS executive of the last 20 years, including Scott Davis.

The difference is moore uses his money he makes to make films that raises important questions about society. Does he live a lavish lifestyle?? No he goes around making documentaries that bother the powers that be. It is funny how some of the shills for the corporate establishment love to go after him. How about a thread : "Who are the koch brothers??" or "who is dick armey??" "discussion on citizens united case??" or "COrporate citizenship??" "Are we a democracy or plutocracy??" "Which system is best: capitalism, socialism or a mixed economy?" If some of you would discuss some of these ideas it might be more useful.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 9:14 am | Bloated Lefty Mess Michael Moore Claims Obama Behind Occupy Wall Street Evictions…





I love a good liberal conspiracy theory when it involves Obama.

“This is not some coincidence. This was planned and I think the question really has to be asked of the federal government and of the Obama administration. Why? Why? Why are you participating in this against a non-violent mass movement of people who are upset at what Wall Street and the banks have done to their lives?”

November 23, 2011 @ 7:20 pm | 5 Comments » [h=2]Lefty Blob Michael Moore Will Sing On Occupy Wall Street Benefit Album. . . Yes, He’s Going To Sing…[/h]
I sense some amazing unintentional comedy in our future.

NEW YORK (MSNBC) — Occupy Wall Street has a benefit album planned with Jackson Browne, Third Eye Blind, Crosby & Nash, Devo, Lucinda Williams and even some of those drummers who kept an incessant beat at Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park.
Participants in the protest movement said Wednesday that “Occupy This Album,” which will be available sometime this winter, will also feature DJ Logic, Ladytron, Warren Haynes, Toots and the Maytals, Mike Limbaud, Aeroplane Pageant, Yo La Tengo and others.
Activist filmmaker Michael Moore is also planning to sing.
Jason Samel, a musician who is putting together the disc, said the goal is to raise between $1 million and $2 million to help fuel the movement that is protesting income disparity.
“It’s really going to be an amazing help for years to come,” Samel said.
Money raised will go through the nonprofit Alliance for Global Justice. The initial plan is that half of the proceeds will go to the New York movement that was based in Zuccotti Park until being kicked out last week, and the other half to offshoots across the world who apply for specific projects, he said.

I have the perfect song for him.
