Who can provide proof ( a link, a bio, or anything) that Michael
Moore graduated high school. Jesus f'ing christ! Yesterday it's people trying to tell me that there's no such thing as presidential term limits (and these are EDUCATED people - nourse, so I guess they didn't take political science classes) and today someone bet me and insisted that Michael Moore did not graduate high school. They are nice people who I work with but they believe EVERYTHING they hear on orange county right-wing radio! Help! Michael Moore info. on high school graduation PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

1. Have these idiots ever heard of FDR?
Sheesh. You work with just as many idiots as I do.

I'd go to www.michaelmoore.com. I'm sure he has something on there about his education.

4. do they EVER think about anything of SUBSTANCE?
MM is "fat," he "never graduated"--what else will they come up with?
what on earth do these have to do with the very real issues that he so competently covered in F9/11?
I guess if people can't argue the message, they must attack the messenger. Sorry--wrong! that is not going to make the message go away!

5. I think that Michael Moore...
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 04:00 PM by skypilot
...may not have graduated from COLLEGE. You can count on freepers to get it wrong every time.

On edit: According to IMdB he "attended" University of Michigan-Flint in the 70s, so he probably didn't graduate from there. But if he attended college then obviously he graduated from high school or received his GED.

9. I know all that but I still would like some kind of a link proving
that he graduated high school - like the year, the high school, etc. I just want to show them that a lot of what they're hearing is TOTAL bullshit.

8. This says he is a graduate
and he served on school board.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2004-06-20-moore_x.htm

"Every day, a kid is dying over (in Iraq). For what? To secure Fallujah?" Moore says testily. "The (media) all drank the soup. They were all cheerleaders for this war. Not one asked the question that needed to be asked before we went to war. Why does a high school graduate in a baseball hat have to be the one?"

The guy in the baseball hat is a potent force. Says Adam Ruben of MoveOn Pac, which is urging its 2.2 million members to see Fahrenheit: "No celebrity on the left has his combined political message and following. When Stupid White Men was a No. 1 best seller for the better part of a year, it proved his audience was much broader."

11. Here ya go - dropped out of COLLEGE; Most colleges require H.S. Diploma.
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 04:04 PM by yellowcanine
While Moore was briefly a student at University of Michigan-Flint, he dropped out to focus on activism, and began a career as a journalist by working for the Flint Voice, an alternative weekly newspaper.

They probably confused didn't graduate from college with high school.
Just tell em that Rush is a college dropout also, among many other failures. Interesting thing about this is a big SO WHAT even if it were true? His movies speak for themselves. Like em or hate em, his high school status has nothing to do with their worth.

13. He MUST have graduated high school
He went to college for a short time. And I don't believe he could have have run for (and won) a seat on the local school board otherwise!

14. Fuggedaboudit!
This is a technique they use to keep us running in circles while they destroy our candidates.

Proper response: "You want me to do your research for you now? Are all you Republicans devoid of a Work Ethic? Ask him yourself!"
