Michael Moore beats the fundamentalist on The View with their own tool.

Born again Christan, This is fantastic!

[Warpy]

1. AAAAUUUUGHH

I'm sorry, but I can't finish that clip. Those women just never SHUT UP and let him talk!!! That woman harping on SOCIALIZED medicine is so fond of the phrase she keeps YELLING it.

Now I know why I can never watch that show. Those women are RUDE.

[NJCher]

54. ah, but...

MM handled it brilliantly. I can see how he anticipated who he was talking to and the comeback to that ignorant loudmouth ("Star") about calling it "Christianized" medicine was nothing short of a master stroke.

Michael Moore was prepared; he knew what he was going up against.

The other master stroke was when he responded that government can do things right and how he used Social Security as his major example. He then reached back into our past, the America that we could take some pride in, and offered other examples. You could hear the positive response in the audience, just as the Gore answer was comprehended and seized upon.

That was a good move because we are all crying out for some pride and self respect as a country. We are so sick of incompetence and how we have to settle for less. MM is reminding us that we have done great things as a nation and we can do this right if we put our minds to it.

65. Michael Moore did an absa-fucking-lutely wonderful job.

My God. The man has learned. He has gone to the mountain. He has studied the enemy and he has arrived. He sound like the only one rational on the set AND he gave answers that not even a right-winger could argue with.

No clue what the sister was rambling on about, by the way. I thought she said she was on welfare once, and yet, her comments, the best I could gather, sound very right-wing.

[Lorien]

2. Who is the African American woman?

Does she actually believe-AFTER seeing the film- that the government is LESS capable of dealing with health care than a for profit insurance system??

[liberal N proud]

4. Not sure, My wife says she is more fundie than lizzy

[bear425]

7. Her name is Star Parker and she's extremely far right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Parker

Barbara Walters wasn't happy with her. I'm certain she won't be Ro's replacement.

[AwakeAtLast]

21. I read the bio you linked

Ugh.

I love it when women who have had four abortions then turn around an decide that no one else should be afforded that right. :eyes:

Ugh.

Thanks for the information. I had never heard of her before today.

:hi:

[mzmolly]

34. Hypocrite with a capital "H."

Nauseating as hell too.

[SemperEadem]

38. yeah, after she took advantage of MY tax dollars

now she wants to posture about whose pocket the money is coming out of? And she at least could have come up with a more original first name, even if it were a stage name.

[DK Rocks]

70. It's the Neo-Con Way

Most of the "Conservatives" I know will comlain all day about who's paying for what with "their" tax dollars, but then have no proplem taking federal grants to put their kids through college.

[diane in sf]

56. They must have had to search far and wide to find an African American

female fascist. I can't even imagine how rare a combination that is.

[Felinity]

62. Not to mention

Two women named Star who are completely repulsive.

[The Backlash Cometh]

66. Maybe they should keep her on the set, then, because she's lousy

and if she's an example of a fundy, she'll turn people off.

[bear425]

68. She might even make Elisabeth rethink her position!

Barbara really wasn't into her, though.

[MessiahRp]

11. Yikes is she a clusterfuck

Cutting Moore off constantly she actually made Hasselbeck look like a moderate in that conversation.

Rp

[mzmolly]

33. She mentioned that SHE was on welfare, but that her "neighbors" shouldn't have to cover health

insurance for the uninsured? A bit ironic that she welcomed her "neighbors" contributions when SHE had a need huh?

[ClintonTyree]

60. Another member of the "do as I say, not as I do" CONservative.....

hypocrite club. I guess after being "born again" that gives her the right to pass judgment on everyone else and deny them the basic liberties that made her what she is today. :eyes: I hate these people, I HATE them! :grr:

[ClintonTyree]

59. She makes Lizardbreath seem like a tree-hugging liberal.....

and that's tough to do. I don't often watch The View but I hope she isn't made a permanent member of the forum. Lizardbreath's inanity is too much to stomach most of the time. They certainly don't need a brace of rabid Reich-Wing airheads on the show.

[JHB]

67. Did she say that she saw the film? Do we know that?

Not seeing Moore's films has never really prevented RWers from commenting on them. So we can't take it for granted that this one did.

Was there a special screening for View hosts?

[DS1]

3. what a fucking mess that show is

[CountAllVotes]

5. that is for sure

What a mess is right! :puke:

[Gato Moteado]

6. is that new fundy lady rosie's replacement?

if so, that show is going right down the toilet. watch viewership sink until they replace the show with f-troop reruns.

[FogerRox]

8. MM did good. KnR

[Stargazer99]

9. If individual response to helping those less able to care for

themselves...then fundamentalist are doing a poor job of it. Some Bible expert help me doesn't the Good Book talk about a Nation's responsibility?

[FloridaJudy]

12. Wouldn't know about that

But I do know that Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism all state that it is the duty of the righteous to help the less fortunate. If Christians want to believe that that's unique to their religion, fine, as long as they bloody well do it!

[rurallib]

10. Baba Wawa "This is contriversial" Bullshit

Ask almost anyone if all Americans deserve health care. Almost 100% agreement. There is only a small segment that opposes health care for all. Guess who has the money?

[progressoid]

13. Ugh. Watching that is more painful than Crossfire.

[Hamlette]

14. k&r

notice how the good christians are totally PISSED OFF when he says that (and shocked when he says he's a Catholic and he goes to church.)

[jasmeel]

15. I wouldn't watch that if you paid me. I love MM but it's just too

annoying. Kudos to him for being able to do it.

[davidwparker]

16. Christian-ized medicine. Love it. Go Mike! nt

[Connonym]

25. This agnostic would gladly accept that name for it if it means it actually gets done

I don't care what they call it I just want everyone to have equal access to healthcare in this country. It's morally wrong to be any other way.

[KurtNYC]

17. The Liberal-free media

I thought the audience reaction was very telling. Applause for Moore's points and silent toleration for the "Jesus wants us to let people die in the streets" woman.

It seems like there should be someone among that shows hosts that is more aligned with the audience POV. If there are four hosts, then they should have 4 points of view but maybe the title is a clue -- one RW point of view -- The View.

[FatDave]

36. Exactly my thoughts

Michael Moore got enthusiastic applause (and a few cheers) every time he made a point. Everybody else? Crickets. I especially liked that mentioning Al Gore got such a good reaction.

[Vilis Veritas]

18. He made me proud to be an American.

And he made me way proud when he told those ignoramuses that there was only one man who could help us.

Al Gore.



He knows the truth.

He will run.

He will be President.

Peace

[Cha]

19. I came here cause I

wanted to see the reactions to the clip..just as I suspected!

I can't handle that those bogus shyte screaming hens on steroids, either..but I'd admire those who can watch and Michael for going in.

Was Joy Behar able to say anything intelligent in support of SICKO?

[Maraya1969]

43. She couldn't get a word in edgewise. It was mostly that "Christian" black

woman with the Holier than Thou attitude hogging the floor.

[Naipes]

20. Jesus H. Kryst

...bunch of right-wing conservative bitches. Why do people watch that shit?

[AwakeAtLast]

23. I don't think many will be anymore

No fun at all. x(

[Just-plain-Kathy]

27. I like watching “the View”, It's better than a soap opera. You get to know the “characters”.

Today Bon Jovi was on, he politely shook Lizzy’s hand and gave the rest of the women hugs. It was so obvious he doesn’t like EH.

After Jovi sang, EH went over to him in order to close the segment. EH put her arm around him, - he held his body so far away from her...it was as if he didn’t want to be photographed with her.

[oregonjen]

22. Moore made a good point, we need to help each other

I just don't understand those fundies who call themselves Christian not wanting to help others. If we help each other, our country will be much stronger and healthier. Keeping whats mine, for just me and mine, doesn't sound very Christian to me.

[Norrin Radd]

52. I think it's because they conflate their religion with their republic party.

[LynneSin]

63. They aren't Christians - they're Paulists

Their religion is not based on the teachings of Jesus, who btw was never a Christian. Their beliefs are based on the teachings of Paul, who was the first fundamentalist Christian. Paul was sorta a 'Convert or Else' Christian who believed that it wasn't good works that got you into heaven but converting as many folks as possible.

You want to see a true Paulists - Check out the Chick Tracts

[bear425]

69. LynneSin, this is very interesting to me.

Thanks for bringing up the subject. I'm off to Google!

on edit: Oy Vey...

[LynneSin]

71. Chick Tracks?

Scary

And to imagine there are folks who give those out for Trick or Treat gifts

[colorado_ufo]

24. I have so much respect for Michael Moore!

As a woman, watching these women act in such a wildly unprofessional manner is nothing but an embarrassment. All they are actually interested in is calling attention to themselves and futhering their so-called "careers." With such creatures in the public eye, no wonder there is still doubt about women's capacity to lead. They hurt all of us.

[Downtown Hound]

26. Damn, that Star woman is just horrible

She makes the Elizabeth the Lizard Queen look like a rational professional. Michael handles himself so well on these shows. If it was me I'd start yelling and swearing at how stupid all of them are. Good for you Michael.

[El Supremo]

28. Here is the first part of the interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDh6YiWNi_w&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emichaelmoore%2Ecom%2F

Man! Is this show like this all the time? I've never watched it before. And I never will again.

Is this what American media has become? No good journalism. Just shouting matches?

[Donnachaidh]

29. thank you for posting this

I tuned in early and could not STAND the shouting of that Parker woman. What a mouth on her! I'm glad Michael brought up the Christianized religion point. Christianity USED to take care of the weak and the helpless - now it's gone completely in the other direction.

[goclark]

30. That show is awful!

Michael held his own but Barbara is stupid and so are the rest of them.

Wake me when it gets better.

Is Whoopie going on it?

[swimmernsecretsea]

31. For the love of God PLEASE CANCEL "THE VIEW" !

It's just ugly now. Ugh, how unpleasant that was. And Star Parker?! Who approved her?

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

32. Ugh, I need a bottle of whiskey after watching that

to beat myself over the head with.

[speedoo]

35. What a horrible show.

It was bad enough before it was taken over by the RWers.

Pathetic.

edit to add: Mike done good.

[Seabiscuit]

37. Poor Michael, struggling to get a word in edgewise amidst the din and cacophany

of those shrieking, cackling airhead hens.

Loved his plug for Al Gore.

[warpigs]

39. 45M is 10%

She also said that 45M uninsured is 10% of the population.

It's actually 300M, so 15% are uninsured. Not a big deal but, does she really think the US has 450M people?

[MannyGoldstein]

55. True - But It Was Still The Most Intelligent Thing She Said... n/t

[OldschoolDem]

40. The one thing that scares me about socialized medicine is

that I believe it will discourage new medical research. The alimighty dollar is a powerful thing and when that is taken away people generally don't work as hard. I think it would be a great thing for everyone to have health insurance we just have to be very very careful on how we make that happen.

[Lorien]

42. I think the opposite would happen

I know scientists who work for various corporations who feel like R&D is hampered in many ways by the "for profit only" attitude of the pencil pushers up top. If a cure is TOO effective it's rejected. Only treatments that bring CONTINUING revenue to the corporation are seriously considered. Even a few GPs who I know say that group practices discourage treatments that are more effective for the patient but less profitable for the group practice. It's sickening, literally.

[Kerrytravelers]

46. People will work just as hard... that is, the people who already work hard for measly pay.

[berni_mccoy]

49. What good is research if no one can afford the benefits of that research?

Even those of us who are fortunate enough to pay the 10s of thousands of dollars of coverage and expenses a year (I own my own business, so no one pays it for me), the insurance companies don't always cover what they call "experimental" treatments, even those that are FDA approved. I could pay an even higher premium to get those, but I don't think I could afford it.

[maggiegault]

41. Sorry, I cannot and will not watch it. That Elizabeth bimbo makes me want to commit suicide.

Seriously, there cannot be people in the world who are that stupid and vapid and shallow...are there?

[Divine Discontent]

44. I'm a firm believer in Jesus' principles and reborn in spirit

because of His love, and Michael hit a HOME RUN slamming the time hog on the left who didn't let poor Joy get one word in, let alone a bout a minute maybe from Michael...

yay! great but if I was him, I'd say I'll only come back to talk about it further if you tell the woman that started screaming at me and took a minute to get to a question, that she can't be there! lol

the view's a zoo...

www.cafepress.com/warisprofitable <<-- top '08 items!

[Divine Discontent]

45. and I think Edwards' is a lot closer to having the healthcare right

then Michael gave him credit for, but maybe he's (Michael) trying to make up for his 2000 blunder of backing Nader that he regrets.

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. dupe

[poverlay]

48. Here's your 10th rec.. Good job and thanks for carrying the torch Mr. Moore... n/t

[ribrepin]

50. Looks like we are getting our first look @ the replacement for Rosie

Star Parker come on down. She'd fit right in with the girls. She makes Elizabeth look reasonable.

[lutefisk]

51. Parker will be gone in less than 30 days or the show will be

That gave me a massive headache. Moore did well. What a guy!

[SeattleGirl]

53. I will never, EVER understand how gays, women, racial minorities,

or the otherwise disenfranchised could align themselves with today's Repuke party. EVER.

As far as I'm concerned, they might as well stick needles in their eyes, and flog themselves, for all the good they will reap out of it.

I truly do NOT understand.

[LynneSin]

64. It's all about the Money

If you have the bucks then suddenly it doesn't matter about being gay, femail or a racial minorities because you've bought into the religon of the almighty dollar.

Log Cabin Republicans - it's all about money. And I find it extremely pathetic that they would accept a political part that treats homosexuality like a mental deformity just because they've got money.

[acmavm]

57. Someone please tell me, why do people watch that crap? And aren't

there women out there, somewhere, anywhere, smarter and more 'professional' (for lack of a better word), or is the point of this crap show to hire and display the most embarrassing women they can find?

[chervilant]

58. Hmmmm...

I'm just thankful that our pestilent species cannot wreak havoc beyond the confines of this planet...

When we escape the bonds of these mortal coils, I'm confident that the valuable lessons we will have learned herein will be appreciated--it's just difficult sometimes to 'live' in an environment within which SOOOOOO many are hate-filled and morally bankrupt.

[cooolandrew]

61. Moore is such a hero, he said it as clear as can be.

[Apollo11]

72. GORE - OBAMA 2008

Michael Moore is right. Gore is the best person for the job.
