It's hard to argue with Moore on the facts. In the past rather than attack him on facts, Repubtards would say "Yeah well he's fat". That's all they had. And the argument, that since he's made so much money he's a hypocrite to bash capitalism, is crap. He didn't make the money by ripping off employees, or by giving gigantic bonuses to undeserving failures. He made it honestly and at the same time provided entertainment. People get what they pay for. WIN/WIN.
Wolf is so lame he's like one of those clown punching bags. Cafferty is always zinging poor old Wolfie too. I love how he says "Correct me if I'm wrong", and sure enough he always gets corrected. HA

nice, and concise

Read all about "Wolf Blitzer" & his start working for the Jerusalem Post & AIPAC.
Stealth Neocon MSM & the 9/11 cover-story propaganda.
Extortion blackmail bribery.
All Israel all the time!
Anthrax intimidation.

"Federal" Reserve

"Jerusalem Post & AIPAC"

Mmmm — interesting

CNN and Blitzer are anti-American-
I saw 'Capitalism' two days ago, and it was great, smart, and revealing,
and the status quo, will fear it and attack it. 'Capitalism' is a must-see!
Blitzer isn't interested in anything other than 'dogging'
Michael Moore. Blitzer continues to show how ignorant
he is about the 'real' issues occurring in this country,
and would rather protect and serve his CNN 'masters'
and their friends. Blitzer loves to re-write history,
continues to show his 'conservative' stripes.
If you can, GO SEE THIS MOVIE! You will learn alot
about how we as a country are being scammed
by the people who are supposed to protect and serve us-

Michael Moore is a genius and a hero

NO, no. Blitzer got his CNN fame from hanging out of a Baghdad hotel room window at the start of the first Gulf War in 1991. He is a smart man, but has a dumb-ass style and does not follow up well. Michael Moore is a freakin genius and can basically whipsaw any of these faux journalists and small thinkers who populate the news shows. Maybe not Olbermann or Maddow (a Rhodes Scholar with a PhD..), but pretty much everyone else on TV.
What Moore is saying is, it's OK to be wealthy from your hard work and labor. But earning a living by screwing the public, a la Wall Street and Big Banks(see the 29.9% interest rates on credit cards for example) is reprehensible and immoral. I do not begrudge Steven Spielberg for being rich. Or Bill Gates or Steven Jobs. Hell, they make a product that people love and they got wealthy from their insights and courage to create. However, why should a Wall Street CEO make $500 million/yr on stock manipulation and commissions from stock sales? What is that? Why should Insurance execs make hundreds of millions off denying claims to their insured? These bankers and brokers add little or nothing to the economy, but gorge on their made-up fees and penalties that the ordinary Joe Blow can do little about because these über-rich greed meisters, bribe Congress and get away with economic murder.

Blitzer is usually an idiot and his style is usually about how cool Wolf is, so this interview isn't that bad, because Moore can handle himself with idiots like this.

Blitzer is doing his usual suck job on Bush, with his rewriting of history. He was a major knee pad wearer on the Iraq war, since the first Gulf War made his career, so that is not surprising. After all Blitzer is a celebrity journalist, not a real journalist.

It would be nice if Blitzer and other pseudo Journos would ask these tough questions of real policy makers. Of course, they love to sock the hard punches to lefties like MM.....but never ask such penetrating questions of the real political heavyweights.

Asking Moore if he is a hypocrite for making money in America is really sick and low. There are so many other people who have made a billion times more bucks by screwing americans and putting their foot on the necks of americans, and yes...killing americans. How about asking a politician if he is a hypocrite by talking a good game at home, while pocketing millions from industry donations...etc.

But as usual, the lefties get all the sock-it-to-me hard questions. That way Wolfy and others can claim they are tough journos. By being hard on lefties.

an astute observation

Too bad he didn't call out Wolf Blitzer for being a former AIPAC agent. Oh wait, maybe because Michael Moore's agent is Rahm Emannuel's brother! What is the common denominator here? You do the math.

Yeah that Jefferson, Adams, and Washington, yeah the hated America. Commie bastards. No wait there weren't any commies then.........King loving bastards it is then.

Ouch! To say it like Wayne would, "Excellent, excellant". Nice job Michael.

Wolfie got his start being a talking head in the info-tainment business when oj was filmed in the bronco.
Him and Gretta van Something-or other both did.
Now they're just info-tainment hot shots it appears.
And this is what they call 'news' these days.

Zing! Good one, Mikey. Moore is no shrinking violet. And 'Wolf' is still a puppy. WTF names their kid Wolf?

Well, the ending was telling (my apologies for the blockquote below that doesn't indent properly — RAW please take notice)

BLITZER: Correct me once again if I've got it wrong. It sounds like you're disappointed in President Obama's economic advisors

MOORE: Oh, disappointed? Why do you use such mild language, Wolf?

BLITZER: Well, tell us how you feel — tell us how you really feel, Mike.

MOORE: Well, um, let's face it. You've got the foxes in charge of the hen house right now. that's what it looks like to me. So — but, President Obama's in charge, and — myself, and tens of milions of people are counting on him to do the right thing.

This was a much more amicable exchange than the blowup two years ago. Blitzer got to use the, for him, enjoyable line "tell us how you really feel" because Michael was willing to admit that Summers and the rest of them are indeed the culprits, the biggest advocates of Gramm-Leach-Bliley outside of Gramm himself and the all-but-two Republican senators who voted for it in the pre-reconciliation phase, during which time all but one Democrat voted against, and he a Carolinian (during reconciliation, when defeat was no longer possible, many Dems went along, for other reasons).

But I confess, I share his hope that BHO is working these factors and malefactors to his own wholesome purposes, albeit not as quickly as some might like, after the manner of children who want dinner now, but, of course, it's still raw. As my mom used to say, referring to macaroni, "You can't eat that now. It's not cooked. You'll swell up like a poisoned dog." Did your mom ever say that? No?

Every good thing he does, "Oh, it's not enough." "Oh, he's just pretending to do good." "Oh, he's never going to prosecute." &c., &c. But little by little he's moving forward with good things.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a little time to safely and intelligently begin to restore and reconstruct something of great value that has suffered catastrophic collapse. Sometimes a bulldozer is not the best choice of tool to use, and careful, measured, step-by-step triage must precede any reconstruction, bracing, undergirding, reinforcing the load-bearing structures before raising the edifice again upon them.

First Andy Richter annihilates Wolfboy on Jeopardy, and then Moore hands him his ass. Not a good week in PR for the Blitzer.

Why do you care about people losing their healthcare and their jobs and all that…you’re not losing yours…I wonder if there was a Wolf Blitzer 200 years ago who asked Thomas Jefferson or John Adams or George Washington, ‘hey, you know, you guys are wealthy land owners…’”

Well actually those wealthy land owners fought the King to keep more of their own wealth so they can spend it how they see fit. Who is supporting forced confiscation nowadays?

It started at Runnymede, when only the Barons were united against John, the worst king ever to rule England. Also known as John Softsword for his many defeats in war, he was defeated there, too, and forced to sign the Magna Carta, of which Article 39 states:

Nullus liber homo capiatur, vel imprisonetur, aut disseisiatur, aut utlagetur, aut exuletur, aut aliquo modo destruatur, nec super eum ibimus, nec super eum mittemus, nisi per legale judicium parium suorum vel per legem terre.

(No freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way harmed--nor will we go upon or send upon him--save by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.)

This is the foundation of our precious Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Then it was the Puritans and Oliver Cromwell, who took the head off of Charles I.

Then it was Thomas Paine, who observed said:

To the evil of monarchy we have added that of hereditary succession; and as the first is a degradation and lessening of ourselves, so the second, claimed as a matter of right, is an insult and imposition on posterity. For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever, and tho' himself might deserve some decent degree of honours of his contemporaries, yet his descendants might be far too unworthy to inherit them. One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in Kings, is that nature disapproves it, otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule, by giving mankind an ASS FOR A LION.

The idea of the Right of Kings to inherit the rulership of an ancestral line is repugnant to a free people.

Then it was Franklin Roosevelt, who said, in Philadephia at the Democratic Convention of 1936:

These "Economic Royalists" complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of, is that we seek to take away their power. And our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power

he said, obviously referring to this passage from the Declaration of Independence:

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The fact is, health insurance companies and investment bankers are nothing but parasites, who create nothing of real value, but merely handle other people's money and pocket 20%-30% of it, and then buy Conservadems and Republicans to bar the door against justice for the people trying to get it back.

And not satisfied with passing all this ill-gotten capital on to their spawn, Lion to Ass as it were, they create these "Corporations" who by trickery assert they have the rights of "persons" (see Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad) especially the right to use their massive wealth to sway elections, though these "persons" live forever, which we do not, can buy and own other "persons" which we cannot, and have turned "one man one vote" (man in the sense of mankind) into "one dollar one vote", in spite of the fact that, after Treason, Bribery is the chief example of "high crimes and misdemeanors" justifying impeachment in Article II, Section 4, Clause 1.
•          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •          •

No doubt Blitzer wants to ask that question because that is how Blitzer feels.
