Michael Moore going off on Hilary on MSNBC, for her comments re: Bernie. nt

[jmg257]

[lapucelle]

1. Who? N/T

[whistler162]

3. A has been "movie" producer.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

36. Love MMs movies! Give the guy credit for tacklin impt political issues & lookin out for common folk!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[dware]

64. Michael Moore looking out for the common folks?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

69. Yup, absolutely... maybe you should watch a few of his movies first. They're excellent!!

Once you're familiar with the subject matter of MM's films, you'll agree with me.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[dware]

70. I have watched MM's movies, IMO, the majority of them suck.

MM is out for MM only, he couldn't care less for the common folks.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

95. What kind of movies do you like?

'Cause his documentaries are pretty solid.

[BannonsLiver]

2. Michael Moore?

Oh you mean that has been, rotund layabout in the uniform of a 10 year old boy?

[jmg257]

4. THAT's the one! nt

[dware]

14. That would be him.

[lapucelle]

16. If he didn't wear the uniform and showered, he'd look like this.

[Scotch-Irish]

26. So you don't like liberals?

Or you just don't like overweight people?

[comradebillyboy]

31. Lots of us don't like Michale Moore. And yes I am a fat liberal.

Moore helped G W Bush get elected. He helped trump get elected. With friends like MM who needs enemies.

[Scotch-Irish]

32. WRONG!! Fox news got all of them elected, and THEY are responsible for destroying our country.

And the russians helped get trump elected, in case you didn't notice.

[comradebillyboy]

35. Was Fox News a thing back in 2000 when Moore campaigned for

Ralph Nader and the Green Party?

[Scotch-Irish]

39. The supreme court handed that election to bush, and michael moore called them out.

If you paid attention, it was later proven that Gore had won that election.

[Hav]

43. And ahole Moore pushed for Nader

to get enough fools to vote against Gore because Dems and Repubs were the same in his opinion. He contributed his part to the mess to make it close enough. He deserves to get criticized for his idiocy.

[Anaxamander]

82. I attended a Michael Moore talk in Florida just a few short weeks before the 2000 election

and he played a video montage of Gore and Bush statements intercut, attempting to show that they were the same. Then he urged everyone to vote for Nader. Again, weeks before the 2000 election. In Florida.

[cilla4progress]

90. Wow, this conflicts with his recent interview with Nader

on his podcast. Be interested to hear what you think...

[George II]

85. The votes for Nader handed that election to bush.

[Cha]

109. michael moore pushed for nader

[LisaM]

52. Yes. A Bush relative called the election ahead of time

and Fox declared him the winner, which created a huge problem.

[cannabis_flower]

63. I believe it was..

It launched on October 7, 1996, to 17 million cable subscribers.[6] Fox News grew during the late 1990s and 2000s to become the dominant subscription news network in the U.S.[7]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News

[Cha]

121. RIGHT!!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

41. Yeah, no kiddin!! The fat & looks shamin goin on is UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE!!

It's disgusting & shameful... but it only invigorates more supporters of Bernie to join The Revolution after they see the way Bernie and his promoters are treated.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[jmg257]

76. Ha you should read the threads about gun rallys!

[BannonsLiver]

47. Nice logic.

[dware]

65. I sure hope you didn't pull a muscle with that stretch.

[sheshe2]

104. Ouch.

That is gonna hurt.

[polichick]

5. Good on Michael Moore!

[lapucelle]

13. He's one of the multi-millionaire morons who helped W get elected.

Now he appears to be working to get Trump re-elected.

[polichick]

20. Moore said it looks like Clinton is working to get Trump elected...

And I agree that her recent comments do not help. Bernie is a candidate for the Dem nomination - she needs to remember that.

[lapucelle]

34. What a weird thing for him to say. N/T

[polichick]

44. No it's not - she's trashing one of the Dem candidates...

That only helps Trump.

Clinton seems bitter about Bernie being in the race while she is on the sidelines - but she could have run too.

[lapucelle]

48. She didn't "trash a candidate". Her remarks were filmed last year

for a documentary on HRC's life that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last week. She was asked for her honest perspective on and appraisal of many different events and people, BS among them.

The documentary will forever serve as part of the record of the 2016 general election and will be a valuable resource for scholars and historians.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

97. And when asked about the comment last week,

she didn't change her response. At all.

[lapucelle]

107. When asked about the comment last week HRC said, "It was a 15 second clip

from a 4 hour documentary."

According to the NYT

Hillary Clinton said on Friday in a podcast interview that Senator Bernie Sanders and his supporters did not do enough to unify the Democratic Party after the prolonged 2016 primary, calling the behavior of his supporters “distressing” and saying it affected the general election.

“All the way up until the end, a lot of people highly identified with his campaign were urging people to vote third party, urging people not to vote,” Mrs. Clinton said in an interview with Emily Tisch Sussman for her podcast “Your Primary Playlist.” “It had an impact.”

snip===================================================================

“So fast forward. I mean, you had, unfortunately, a very different outcome in the 2016 primary, where I won by four million votes. I won overwhelmingly in delegates,” Mrs. Clinton said. “There was no question about who was going to be the nominee. But unfortunately, you know, his campaign and his principal supporters were just very difficult and really, constantly not just attacking me, but my supporters.”

“We get to the convention,” she continued. “They’re booing Michelle Obama, John Lewis. It was very distressing and such a contrast between what we did to unite in ’08.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/31/us/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders.html

In other words, HRC told the truth last week. And anyone who doesn't think so can just take the word of the BS campaign's senior spokeswomen Briana Gray:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

71. No question, they don't help in the least!! Can see right here the divisive effect they're having.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[Amimnoch]

74. lol

[sheshe2]

105. Bazinga.

[dware]

18. I agree,

he's helping Joe Biden.

[polichick]

24. Well good - Biden needs help. He sounds delusional...

looking back to a time when he worked well with Republicans.

Hard to win the war when you don’t recognize the enemy.

[dware]

25. LOL.

Next President of these United States of America Joe Biden is doing quite fine.

[lapucelle]

38. Just to recap...good on Moore for saying that HRC is helping to get Trump elected

and Joe Biden is delusional.

[polichick]

46. Something like that - but keep it in context please.

[lapucelle]

53. It is in context. N/T

[still_one]

87. I wonder what MM thinks about Sanders hiring Jill Stein supporter Brianna Joy Gray, and

Hillary hating David Sirota? Are they trying to re-elect trump by hiring people like this which effectively marginalizes Hillary supporters?

[Butterflylady]

88. You are joking, right.

Because I'm not taking that as a serious comment.

[Scotch-Irish]

27. +1

n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

83. I'm with you...MM is one of the good ones!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

[RandySF]

6. Fair weather Democrat

[BannonsLiver]

7. Fair weather?

How about never. As in it never feels like he’s on our side.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Not even. He's an all-weather asshole these days.

He once was a useful gadfly; now he's just in love with his own "revolution."

[BlueIdaho]

15. Ironic that a candidate who's not really a Democrat

Would use a mouthpiece who’s not a Democrat to sing his praises...

[Callalily]

8. Why do people listen to that hack?

[Scotch-Irish]

29. Um...because he tells the truth?

The establishment doesn't like that.

[whistler162]

37. Is this something new?

all I have heard from him is opinionated blowhardedness!

[Cha]

113. lol.. yeah..

10. Michael Moore

Is a camp follower.

[PatSeg]

11. I used to love Michael Moore

but I can't listen to him anymore. He rarely makes any sense and has just gotten annoying as hell.

[LenaBaby61]

84. I used to love Michael Moore.

In the early years, same here.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pet, cuddle, cajole or kiss some racist, white persons ASS to get them to vote Dem. IF they want to vote for fat, racist Comrade tRumputin again who'll continue his lawlessness and continue turning this country into a broke-ass ru$kie banana republic, then that's on THEM. Fuck 'em.

[highplainsdem]

12. I just searched Twitter for

michael moore hillary


He's being slammed for that MSNBC appearance.

Sample tweets:

I happened to catch Michael Moore on MSNBC right now.

Instead of sticking to the topic, (Rashida Talib’s actions) he throws a tantrum about Hillary Clinton.

JFC.

I’m officially over this primary. Let’s get it done #TeamBiden.

Contrary to what #MichaelMoore just said: '4 days after Obama effectively clinched the 2008 Dem Nomination, Hillary endorsed him. 4 weeks after Clinton clinched her party's 2016 nomination, Bernie Sanders still hadn't endorsed her.' @davidgura
#msnbc

To hear Michael Moore on @MSNBC
telling us that Hillary is working on behalf of Trump... He can fuck straight off.

Michael Moore currently spewing Hillary-hate on @MSNBC
. Changing the channel.

@MMFlint
gfy you know Hillary was talking about Sanders support in the Senate not in general. Hillary didn't wait months to leave the primary in 2008 her and Obama were only a few points apart and as soon as it was no longer mathematically possible for her to win she quit

[dware]

17. I love it!!!!!

M. Moore helping Joe Biden. Win win.

[DanTex]

21. No way! Anti-Bernie centrists on twitter are furious? That NEVER happens.

[emmaverybo]

28. Good. You retired "Bernie-haters."

[comradebillyboy]

33. Utter nonsense.

[dware]

67. Keep digging. nt

[DarthDem]

54. So *That's* What Happened

Here I thought it was the Republican party becoming a lawless mob around 1994, then going even further astray beginning in 2000, that had caused things to go off the rails. Good to know it was in fact the Clintons who are responsible.

[LisaM]

19. I had to change the channel.

That was a cringe worthy performance.

[floppyboo]

22. No links to any content. How are people commenting on this?

weird herd mentality going on. Be careful. The Russians are taking note of all those susceptible to headline schlock shock.

[jmg257]

80. Being on TV - its a bit hard to link to. Maybe there is video by now? nt

[Cha]

111. All you have are Insults at DU members.

[OnDoutside]

23. Michael Moore the Bernie supporter ?

[ChubbyStar]

91. Holy shit? Really there are people who support Bernie?

Is he floating?

[OnDoutside]

99. Like a turd on water.

[ChubbyStar]

101. How 4th grade funny

You got nothing! See ya......

[OnDoutside]

103. "Holy shit? Really there are people who support Bernie?" 4th grade indeed

[redstateblues]

45. He's an arrogant narcissist. I can't stand to listen to his voice

[apcalc]

49. Dumbass Bernie Bro, imo.

[Bananaluver]

50. Wasn't Sanders people just yesterday attacking DNC and claiming they are rigging the primary?

Thank you Clinton for now being in a position to call Sanders and his campaign out.

[lapfog_1]

51. yeah, I'm done with him too.

I will change the channel if someone interviews him.

[Gothmog]

55. Does anyone pay attention to this person? if so, why?

[DanTex]

56. I saw a clip, and he was absolutely right in everything he said.

The people at the rally were already upset before what Tlaib said. Which is totally understandable after Hillary leveled the schoolyard insult "nobody likes him" at Bernie despite the fact that Bernie for years has been the most popular US Senator and has a huge grassroots following.

Hillary or any other prominent Democratic figures should just stay away attacking candidates.

[Bananaluver]

57. Sanders himself states the same. He had a video saying it out loud. That matters. Being able to work

with others matters, as a President. It is part of the vetting. Sanders whole run is creating a grass root revolution that is going to stand up and make Republicans do the extreme.

Yet, by his own words he does not work well with others.

Why wouldn't HRC speak about it during our Democratic primaries. HRC's strength was always the ability to listen.

[DanTex]

58. Don't know what you mean by "the same", but I'm pretty sure Sanders didn't tell anyone

to go boo people.

I didn't say HRC shouldn't speak out, just that she shouldn't be tossing out schoolyard insults like "nobody likes him" at our candidates.

[Bananaluver]

59. Sanders campaign manager told Tlaib "all is good", after the non apology. MM has now applauded the

boo'ing.

[DanTex]

60. Like I said, I doubt Sanders would tell anyone to boo. Glad we agree!

[Bananaluver]

61. The grass is green. Glad we can agree. Lol.

[LanternWaste]

116. I s'pose it's important to you to tell people what they mean to say.

Seems a waste of time, but I'm sure you'll rationalize it as something other than what it is.

[dware]

68. Has BS condemned this yet?

If not, then, by his silence, he's endorsing it.

[scheming daemons]

72. Michael Moore is being very divisive.

Much more than Hillary.

[apcalc]

78. Michael Moore is a divider. We need unity. Done with him.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

62. So long bernard

Great stratagy NOT

[tishaLA]

73. Mr Moore in June 2016

when Julian Assange was undermining the Democratic Party:

Link to tweet

He's no friend of ours.

[Codeine]

89. A lot of questionable hygiene choices

in that photo.

[ChubbyStar]

93. A lot of people find body piercings questionable hygiene choices too

Do you agree with that?

[Codeine]

94. An improperly-washed and cared-for

piercing would most assuredly be a poor hygiene decision. Assange and Moore both look slovenly, unkempt, and in need of a hot shower with plenty of shampoo.

[ChubbyStar]

96. Seen plenty of people with piercings that look just like you described

I am sure you have as well.

[Codeine]

102. Sure have.

Nasty, dirty people are common as. . . well, common as dirt, I suppose.

[Beringia]

98. They look like regular folks

Really stupid to say they are slovenly, for wearing loose shirt and cap.

In any big crowd, there are tons of people who look exactly like this.

[Lancero]

106. Don't you know? Fat shaming is totally acceptable if it's directed towards someone you don't like.

[betsuni]

75. "... the old guard of the Democratic Party is a greater roadblock to social progress than Trump is."

Oh, Michael. Can't wait to find out what kind of steamy pile of words you said about Hillary.

[LakeArenal]

79. Geez. Can't believe he's getting this much time on here.

I don’t care. Why do you?

Moore vs (any) Clinton ? Non-starter.

[SMC22307]

81. Barack Obama isn't making snide comments.

Hillary needs to be more like Barack. Talk less and listen more.

[Peace06]

86. Hillary

Hillary has EARNED the right to say whatever she wants to say. She has pioneered the way for women in politics. When the freshman congresswoman has served this country as First Lady of a State, First Lady of the U.S., U.S.Secretary of State, elected President of the U.S. by popular vote, then she may be semi- qualified to criticize Hillary Clinton.

[betsuni]

100. Hillary has been called literally the worst things in the world and some people think

that her pointing out what everybody already knows about Sanders, including himself, is some sort of terrible attack and a lie is ridiculous.

All those CTS and lies (murderer, peodophile, criminal, evil, liar, racist, warmonger, corrupt, etc. -- how many people can say, "You know, Congressman, I'm not actually the Antichrist" to a Congressman who has called you the Antichrist.) Ironic. She can say whatever the hell she wants to say.

[cilla4progress]

92. Well, I hope the divisiveness and invective here

settles before we hand the presidency back to drumpf in november!

[Gothmog]

108. Like Fred Gutenberg I have no respect for this man

Link to tweet

?s=20

[Gothmog]

110. Moore is an idiot

sanders will not be the nominee with only 9% of Clinton voters

Link to tweet

?s=20

[comradebillyboy]

120. I'm surprised he's doing that well with Clinton voters.

[jcmaine72]

114. Judging by the responses here...

...I guess we can place Moore's name in the same "We used to love them" folder that Cindy Sheehan was placed in when she was déclassé enough to stick to her anti-war guns after President Obama was elected and continued to criticize droning.

[betsuni]

115. Bernie Sanders on Meet The Press when asked if he would use Special Forces and drones if president:

"All of that and more. ... Look, drone is a weapon. When it works badly it is terrible and it is counter-productive ... ."

Asked if he would use drones when it was isolated on a particular terrorist: "Yes."

Like any president would. Duh.

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/bernie-sanders-use-drones-to-fight-terror-542522435844

[jcmaine72]

119. You missed my point.

My point was with regards to the hypocrisy of some of Moore's sudden detractors. The sort who incessantly gushed over and canonized him when he focused his critical eye solely on the people they hate. What has changed? Moore is still the same person with the same set of core beliefs he held 10-15 years ago when he could seemingly do no wrong.

[Blue_Tires]

117. Moore has been dead to me for a long time

and I used to be his #1 defender here on DU

[ecstatic]

118. We're taking our frustrations out on each other and not trump

trump must be LHFAO right now. I'm not feeling confident about November right now.
