CNN Scolds Michael Moore

OH, MM forgot to mention the NHS is a postcade (Zip code) lottery, some areas get certain drugs others not where u have to cough up spondulics. My sister is a midwife of many years says NHS is in dire straits. MM uses spin to avoid the truth of the NHS to blast the US system, well not seen it but its safe to assume he does.

[Old Hippie]

MM is known for his bias and twisting of truths...but then all "artists" are...

Hey Bibblies, think out of the box, you known that sometimes, words can have more than one meaning! I swear, it's true!

 

A quote from Chomsky:

 

"The ideal is to create a completely fragmented atomized society where everybody is totally alone, doing nothing but trying to pursue created wants, and the wants are created"

 

I'm guessing that certain board members have already become "ideal" citizens.

Chomsky? Chomsky? 555555555555555555 Enough said. The old hypocrite comrade would rather have the opposite where everybody is the same and in the same sinking boat. Think Cambo under the Khmer Rouge and North Korea !

Ah! Ideal citizen number 1, Mr. Hugh Hoy.

 

Let's see, hmmm... Khmer Rouge? Weren't they removed from power by Communist Vietnam and then BACKED MILITARILY & FINANCIALLY by the good old, right wing U S of A? What does that tell you about America/Khmer Rouge?

 

While I suspect you would rank Bill O'Rielly higher than Chomsky, I think many would disagree.

Chomsky is a fraud. Preaches the evils of capitalism while enriching himself through his self-marketing. I suppose young, mallable minds at certain universities might be impressed, but I am not. Friggin "honorary degrees" are just that...they hand those things out like at diploma mills. They don't mean squat. Some "Serbian" academy? LOL ! Now that is indeed impressive (not). Stateman magazine...left-leaning publication, so not surprising it's readers would like him.

 

Please give me an example of a prosperous, free communist country that isn't ruled by a forceful dictatorship. (And please don't tell me Cuba.)

they can be forgiven, like they can be forgiven for unofficially backing the good old IRA....yep the LP mantra, but hey fidel you are prone to this :smirk:

[Fidel]

Well Phil, there is a difference between the American people providing support, and the American government providing support.

 

Do you think Khmer Rouge fund raisers would have been popular in the States? How about a raffle to raise money to buy arms for Pinochet's Chile, or for the Suni Islamic extremists they're training and arming to destabilize Iran?

 

Change the record...

[Guest lazyphil]
