Why do i keep hearing that Cindy is 'backed' by micheal moore??

[southernleftylady]

they are saying that he is financing her.. of course when i ask 'why do you say that?' all they say is "i heard that" or "joined up" with MM...
where ???
and why??

[sabra]

1. because he had an article about her on the homepage of his site.

there you go, that's all they've got.

[Lifelong Protester]

6. He's had news about her on his site for a long time now

so I guess that is 'proof' for the vast right wing.. oh, never mind, I know that there is not VAST right wing conspiracy :freak:

at least I think I know...

or do I??

[Liberal Veteran]

2. That's when you roll your eyes and say....

..."So, essentially, it's all a 'vast left-wing conspiracy', is that what you are saying?"

[southernleftylady]

4. lol hehehehe.. i am SO going to use that lol thanks!

[Proud_Lefty]

3. Fox News says that

But today, Cindy said on the Randi Rhodes Show that she went home to an overdrawn account, in the thousands. She's wondering herself who all these financial backers are she keeps hearing about. The media has no conscience at all.

[Corgigal]

5. like Cindy herself said

with all this backing , why is she overdrawn in her checking account by 1200 dollars?

[CatWoman]

7. bigger question is

who gives a fuck?

That bullshit needs to be counted with the GOP firm backing that loser "caravan" to Texas.

[stevedeshazer]

8. A coordinated smear campaign by the Radical Right.

It's all BS.

Moore is a filmmaker. He's not even a Democrat.

He's a convenient straw man.

The real issue is George W. Bush. Don't let them divert you. :)

[southernleftylady]

11. not diverting me at all ;) just looking for some good back up to when i ..

tell them that this whole "smear cindy" tour gets underway is b.s. ;) because ya know that they will say "yeah well.. cindy is backed by that american hatin' micheal moore' lol

[Meldread]

9. Why? Simple.

They want to paint her as some 'radical left wing loony not representing the majority of Americans'. Obviously that's not true, but that's what they are painting her as. The media has their knives drawn and are striking at her and us selectively.

For example, on the local news some guy from over there is coming home. They had him on there on the phone talk about how "discouraged" he was at people who were protesting the war, but being quick to say "but I support her right to say what she believes". So they are trying to paint themselves as either objective or sympathetic while at the same time spinning things in such away that makes her look bad. They know Moore is to the left of most Americans so they are simply trying to tie her to him even though it doesn't hold water.

I didn't know Cindy had overdrawn her account. Isn't someone going to raise money for her? Get everyone to donate a dollar, just a dollar, and create a fund or something so she can stop putting herself in debt. There is enough people in the anti-war movement to at LEAST raise a couple of bucks.

Get her to create an organization called the Casey Sheehan Fund, and use the money that comes in to organize and demonstrate against the war.

10. A great posting from Michael Moore's site by a contributor

Crawford Update

President Bush seems to be cornered by the peace movement with peace camps located on both exits from the Western White House. But since he doesn't go by land anyway, and we've only seen him once in the 16 days here, we've decided to offer him the opportunity to land right here at Camp Casey. The construction crew is working overtime in the limited space we have to make sure that a helicopter pad is ready for Marine One to land upon Bush's return to Crawford. Naturally, the landing site meets or even exceeds FAA regulations; in fact, the FAA has already come out here to survey the site (okay, not really). We've found an environmentally sound location for the pad, and noise controls have been put in place so as not to disturb the cows. Furthermore, we will have a bicycle at the ready in case the President wants to continue his 5-week exercise program. He can ride home on a red carpet if he wants-- after all, it's only a block or two from here. The landing pad will be ready in the morning, with pictures to follow.

No excuses, Mr. President.

He won't come... :(

12. Michael Moore is considered to be the Ann Coulter of the Left

Not saying it's a fair comparison at all, just that he is what is held out as the personification of extreme liberal hyperbole. Don't even worry about it. That only appeals to the most extreme Dittohead base, no one else.

13. Besides, Michael Moore has checked into a residential weight-loss center

Seriously ... he's out of circulation right now, trying to lose some weight and get healthy.

Michael Moore Checks In at Fat Farm

Maverick filmmaker Michael Moore has enrolled on a crash course at a $3,800-a-week celebrity fat farm in a bid to loose weight. The Fahrenheit 9/11 director has booked into the Pritikin Longevity Center And Spa in Aventura, Florida, where he is learning to cook healthy meals and will undergo "life re-education", according to PageSix.com. Moore is reportedly aiming to loose 12 pounds during the first three weeks.

18. "loose 12 pounds"

:eyes:

14. SEE WHAT DID I SAY lol just look at a response i just recieved..

"OK so it's ok for Cindy and Micheal to have thier say, but Move America Foreward its not? Cindy is allowed sponsers from liberal foundations, but the other side doesn't have the same rights or is discounted because of them?

Real balance there."

[southernleftylady]

15. "Read Micheal Moores website. He admits to it."

[tanyev]

17. They say that because each and every single one of their

"grassroots" efforts began in the mind of a professional PR person and the money comes from big GOP money men--after being funneled through a few more "grassroots" organizations, of course. The RWingers are incapable of comprehending that some people are so moved by their beliefs and principles that they are willing to make tremendous sacrifices.
