Michael Moore doesn't like the plagiarism thing either

[mudesi]

Here is a screen shot of his home page as of this posting:


When you can't get Michael Moore on your side, it shows how much of a liberal you really are. I wonder if he is for Obama or simply against Clinton. I know that's where I am.

[goldcanyonaz]

1. How's his diet coming along? He looks a little lighter.

[Hippo_Tron]

27. Nice attack on fat people, that's bound to score points on a progressive message board

[goldcanyonaz]

32. Huh? He said on Larry King that he was either on a diet or had the lap band done.

Can't recall. A question is now an attack on f** people?

:wtf:

[mtnsnake]

39. Isn't it amazing how touchy some of these people are?

I swear, half the Obamaites must have their blood pressure going through the roof during these primaries...talk about ultra-sensitive people who are ready to jump all over anyone for no reason at all. Jeesh.

[elixir]

41. Absolutely, it makes you wonder what's up w/ them since their candidate has momentum.

[misanthrope]

59. This isn't a progressive board, it is a Democratic one**nm

**

[MagickMuffin]

61. WRONG:

Democratic Underground, also known as DU, is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Its membership is restricted by policy to those who are generally supportive of progressive ideals and support Democratic candidates for political office.

[misanthrope]

64. Then tell me why I've seen posters rebuked...

...for going after conservative Democrats with a rejoinder almost verbatim to what I posted above?

[MagickMuffin]

83. Not sure I understand your reply, but I will try my best to explain

As long as we support Democrats we can pretty much say whatever we want about them. However, we are not suppose to endorse anyone who is not a Democrat.

Such as Cindy Sheenan since she said she would run as an independent against Pelosi. Even though Sheenan is a progressive we cannot endorse her candidacy, period. If Cindy would have run against Nancy as a Democrat we could endorse her candidacy here on DU.

Joe Lieberman a conservative Democrat was fair game. He had an opponent in the last election Ned Lamont a progressive. Ned won the primary, Joe lost, so he left the party and is no longer a Democrat. As I understand it, we can no longer support any further run by Holy Joe since he left the party.

______________________________________

My previous post are the DU rules, not mine.


RULE # 2. Who We Are: Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Members are expected to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, and to support Democratic candidates for political office. Democratic Underground is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, and comments posted here are not representative of the Democratic Party or its candidates.

77. link?

:rofl:

just kidding!
i've quoted that same thing myself!
(just wanted to throw in a bit of levity)

[YOY]

78. Shit...now whose main arguement against what Moore says is that he's fat???

I just can't remember...

Now who does that kind of thing???

[Califooyah Operative]

87. That's mature. (not)

I don't care how you justify it. This thread had nothing to do with his weight.

[TwilightGardener]

2. "Polly want a cracker?"---

:rofl: Thanks, Mike!

[SKKY]

67. Why is Mike playing the race card???

:rofl:

[AX10]

3. Is Mike going to rile up the right wing against the Democrats, yet again?

[Windy]

4. that is great. Truth is definitely painful at times!!

The clintons' should really be careful when they plan their attack ads. They can backfire.

[BlueStater]

5. Mr. "Hope" didn't invent those slogans

So fuck him. He has no copyright on any of those.

And repeating slogans is entirely different from repeating, almost word for word, an entire portion of a speech.

[sniffa]

9. Are you referring to Jesse Jackson?

He won South Carolina twice.

[angie_love]

6. hehehe

:rofl: Well I remember that he said he liked her awhile ago, but I guess its changed now seeing the "anything to win" strategy shes employing to take down her democratic opponent.

[anamandujano]

35. Karl Rove thanks you.

[Cha]

7. Michael Moore endorsed Wes Clark

the last go around.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Love it!

The Blowback....it is a starting! Pretty good turn around, I'd say! :rofl:

thank you ! and thanks to Michael Moore.

12. "Polly Want a Cracker" is GREAT

[GarbagemanLB]

13. I love it! Hillary made a huge mistake in going this route.

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

14. The irony of this attack is that Hillary has never spoken an original line in her life.

Not once. She steals every line she uses, some from Obama.

[TwilightGardener]

19. That doesn't bother her supporters. They know she's shameless, calculating and

100% poll-driven. They know she's not really that great a human being, personally. They have very low expectations of her at this point.

moore rocks

[TheWebHead]

30. though i'm an obama supporter

and don't like some of her tactics, I recognize that Moore's views are a bit clouded by her war vote. but yeah, when you raise the "p" word when you're talking about quotes about infamous quotes, you better check your own house to make sure it's clean.

[FrenchieCat]

56. Well, watch this one then......

The blowback on this is what is gonna hurt!

34. Exactly--she's been stealing from him ever since his star started to rise.

Don't play innocent, Hillary supporters--your candidate isn't above borrowing either.

[my3boyz]

36. He is against Clinton. He said he could not morally

support her because of her war vote. He seemed to like her health care though.

[mmonk]

66. That's correct.

[Eric J in MN]

37. "That's right, yes we can" isn't stealing.

It's a reference.

[AX10]

42. Smart people stay away from him.

Lump him in with Sharpton!

[mudesi]

43. Smart people listen to him

Has he ever been wrong about anything?

[mth44sc]

45. "Sen. Clinton is not running on the strength of her rhetoric," Wolfson said.

so true...

[GarbagemanLB]

51. Werd. She's running on the strength of her husband's presidency.

[AZ Criminal JD]

46. Si se pueda, Yes we can is not Obama's slogan

It is an old United Farmworkers Union slogan and he stole it from them.

[Horse with no Name]

53. Dora the Explorer uses it too

I hear that Boots is pretty pissed about it.

[Hepburn]

70. ...

[IdClaire]

75. LMAO

I love that! I wish I could get that damn map song out of my head.

[boppers]

62. Si se pueda...

...
Yes We Can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.
...

He even attributed it to them, since that's become so super-duper-really-important, lately.

[BumRushDaShow]

49. This is about to become a

[Nexus7]

50. As I recall, Moore was a big Nader supporter

Moore was a big Nader supporter. How did that workout for the country?

His political judgement is sometimes rotten.

[mtnsnake]

72. How soon everyone forgets!

Good point, Nexus7.

If we are ever fortunate enough to win the presidency again, it won't be because of Michael Moore. It'll be in spite of him.

[Horse with no Name]

52. Oh goody

Now I get to see all of the responses of the obamites who flayed John Edwards for getting Moore's endorsement.

[Cha]

57. Oh, not so good ..we get to read your

snark.

[Horse with no Name]

60. well there is ALWAYS the ignore button

Feel free.:hi:

[LostinVA]

68. .

:rofl:

[nomorewhopper]

54. i watched an interview with him (larry king?) where he said he couldn't forgive IWR vote

I don't know if there's "moore" to the issue, but he claimed to not forgive her for the IWR vote. claims that any real liberal would have stuck to their guns and voted anti-war.

bottom line = it's a sad day that liberal critics are viciously attacking each other. when we say that the party is going to split, you are witnessing it happen

[donheld]

55. I've a feeling Mrs Clinton is fucked

She may be back in the senate sooner than expected. The sooner the better IMHO.

[hell-bent]

85. Now, that is one intelligent post.

It may be that your man might be back in the Senate,eh. Of course, his voting record is nothing to brag about,right? He missed 82 votes this session. Perhaps he was out for a smoke?

[ORDem]

58. Hillary knows all about plagiarism, she's an expert:

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters?bid=45&pid=286865

Oh, and when is she going to give credit to her ghostwriter for "It Takes a Village". She didn't write one word of that, it's all taken from interviews with her.

:dem:

[usregimechange]

63. She would say anything to get elected...

[autorank]

71. Lets be fair - this is not nearly the equivalent ot taking an entire speech.

Little straight forward dialog here. Common short phrases are open to all. That's been the case forever and it's in copyright law. You don't own, "Yes we can."

But that Duval Patrick speech was lifted entirely. Nothing wrong with Obama giving it. But he should have acknowledge that it was Patrick's, if he even knew, which may or may not be the case.

I'm no fan of HRC, but don't tag her with equivalent acts.

74. Our good friend Moore is sensitive

he is a producer. Its not like Obama speeches qualify as a book. No one stole lines more than Edwards from Kucinich. So what. it made Edwards a better candidate.

This summer? He would beat the little Japanese girl who won last year

80. Please...go back to FReeperland

If the best you can come up with is "He's wrong becuz hez teh fatteh" then you really are showing your true colors.

[GarbagemanLB]

79. Hillbots: Attack Moore for his size, just like the GOP! Ignore the argument, attack his appearance!

[YOY]

81. Noticed that too, did you?

Really says something about who some of them really are...

Not all of them of course...or even the majority, but some to be sure!

[Moh96]

84. Go Moore

[Straight Shooter]

86. The way to get Repubs not to support Obama is for Michael Moore to come to his aid.

The most villified target for the right is Michael Moore. And yet Obama supporters think Hillary will galvanize them.

Smooth move, Michael.
