You HAVE to watch Hardball if you did not see it! Michael Moore was excellent

[Nimrod2005]

He was on for the whole hour...Few freepers tried, but failed miserably, to challenge his views in the movie Sicko.

Should be required viewing in all households.

1. Is the 7 p.m. edition the repeat or is a separate segment?

I did miss it. Had to take the cats to the vet.

[Nimrod2005]

5. Repeat I am sure...

[Hissyspit]

6. I hope so. n/t

2. Looks like a couple of freeptards were FRIED!

:D

[bobbolink]

18. DANG! *THAT'S* what that smell was!

I thought it was a skunk......

24. Second helpings of fried freepers at this link!

3. He was wonderful and I knew he would be because he has the

facts and speaks from his heart. What about the guy who wanted to know if the health care system would cover illegal aliens and Moore said "They're human beings, aren't they?" Loved that!

[Nimrod2005]

7. He threw the WWJD at him, it was awesome!!!

[sandnsea]

4. He was very excellent

The only place he needs to get tough is on going after Republicans and defining their political ideology. Yes there are some Democrats who have bought into Republican ideology, that's true. Thats the answer to "Democrats did it tooooo".

I absolutely loved Christianised Health Care. That is awesome. He did great.

8. That was an INCREDIBLE SHOW! Tweety actually let the man talk! He also showed several SiCKO clips

then let Michael comment on them. It really was an EXCELLENT hour of teevee...RARE these days!

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. ALSO, next week EVERYONE needs to go to Michael's web site and download their "SiCKO Insurance Card"

and you have Michael's permission to use HIS NAME if your insurance company refuses to pay for your coverage! Michael said to tell your insurance company that he will put your story on the SiCKO DVD (TO BE RELEASED SOON) if they don't pay for your medical needs! Tell them you are a member of the "Michael Moore SiCKO action group" (something like that). YOU HAVE MICHAEL'S PERMISSION to use his name!

THAT MAN IS NOTHING LESS THAN INCREDIBLE!

[Bandit]

17. You have to have some insurance in the first place though

A lot of us don't have any at all. Our job doesn't provide it and it is extremely expensive to try and buy some on your own.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. I understand that and so does he, but for those who do have insurance and that company REFUSES to

pay for your medical needs, Michael has offered up his name, his movie about the industry, and his reputation to ALL CITIZENS WHO NEED TO USE IT to blackmail their insurance company. IMCPO, that is a pretty damn cool thing to do.:)

That happened to me 2 years ago. I got stuck paying for a colonoscopy because BC/BS said the Digestive Center I went to was 'out of network', AFTER I called them PRIOR to the procedure and was told that they WERE IN-NETWORK. I had asked if that particular DOCTOR from the Digestive Center was In-Network, not realizing that the clinic he operated out of was considered separate from him. I was told I should have gone to THE HOSPITAL for the procedure, SO freakin' BC/BS refused to pay the damn bill. I contested and LOST since I didn't ask SPECIFICALLY if The Digestive Center itself was In-Network..:grr: fuckers. This is how they operate. They are lower than fucking pond scum, as far as I'm concerned. My son just had surgery last week and after his follow-up care is finished, we are FINISHED with BC/BS. It's gotten waaaaaay too expensive. Our premiums just went up again after my June Birthday. BC/BS SUCKS. I'm waiting for them to deny my son's surgery claim. I plan on using Michael Moore's "SiCKO Insurance Card" and threatening them with it.

12. Tweety wasn't looking to be Blitzered

:rofl: :rofl:

[LSparkle]

9. I'm convinced the RW think tanks send out e-mails

telling their interns to get their butts to Hardball Plaza ... It was the same kind of crowd that cheered Coultergeist but Moore definitely held his own and then some.

[Libby2]

16. Yep, the same kind of jerks

that stopped the vote count in Florida.

[PA Democrat]

10. How did Tweety treat him? He said on an earlier show that he'd seen SiCKO and that

he thought it was excellent. Just curious if was his usual inconsistent self.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. He treated Michael very well! He didn't nitpick anything in the movie, but did say Michael was hard

on the repukes and Dems....which he WAS, but NEEDED to be.:) The interview was wonderful. Tune in at 6:00 CT, if you can. You won't regret it.

[PA Democrat]

14. Thanks, I'm off to tune in now.

[Yael]

15. This is excellent!!

I had planned to watch the debates, but can't tear myself away.

[CatWoman]

19. watching

and I can't repeat too many times how much I love and respect this guy :loveya:

[Blue_Tires]

20. he was also on NPR earlier today

[DemReadingDU]
