Where Was Michael Moore During the 2004 Election?
I'm reading in another Forum that Michael Moore is supposed ot be working on a Documentary of the Hurricane and its effect on and around New Orleans. But I have some questions I'd like to have answered first. If he cannot answer them then any Doc he make of the Disaster is bogus and he is a fraud. His first Doc, "Roger and Me", while a fine piece of entertainment, has many sequences out of context. Will he do the same thing in such a Doc about the Hurricane? If he does and places the blame where is doesn't belong, his credibility can plummet.

As far as the Election goes:
Moore was in the news all over the place just before the 2004 Election. Everybody was just waiting for him to open his mouth and call "FRAUD!" on Wednesday.

But he never did.

So this means one of a couple of things.

1.) He was paid off not to say anything about the election. As we know the election was crooked, if Moore didn't say anything about fraud then he was paid off to keep his mouth shut.

2.) He didn't say anything because the election was up and up a fair and honest defeat for Kerry. (Go Dean.)

Which brings me to other conclusions:

3.) If he was bought off then it means that his honesty is questionable.

4.) If he wasn't bought off it means that we are not as popular with America as we think we are.

5.) IF he was not bought off then any Documentary about the aftermath should also incriminate both the Mayor of New Orleans and Governor of Louisiana. As the Resident declared Louisiana a Disaster Area several hours before the hurricane hit there better be blame put on us Democrats as well.

6.) If he was bought off then anything he says against the Resident is suspect.

7.) Either way, he will have to explain why Louisiana, with Democrats is place is doing such a bad job handling a single hurricane, while Florida, with a Repunk Guv is handling multiple hurricanes better with a lot less trouble.

8.) If he cannot do No. 7 without showing bias it means that anything he ever said in any other Doc he made is at least partially fraud and anything he ever says again is tainted with fraud.

9.) If he wasn't bought off and the Election Was a Fraud (like we keep saying) then Moore really doesn't care a whit about the Truth and is more of a Repunk than a Democrat.

If No. 9 is true:

10.) Moore is a publicity hound that doesn't give a damn about us one way or another as long as we pay to see his documentaries.

If No. 10 is True:

11.) We lost the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections fair and square.

42. Worse: Pure freepin' Bullshit.
Written by an obvious Moore basher.

Totally and unforgingly irrational.

4. Wasn't he filming?
I thought he was in Florida filming. If that's the case, then probably that footage is being edited for something (maybe "Fahrenheit 9/11-1/2"?? Movies don't appear overnight.

And I can tell you where he is right now. He just closed down his entire office and he and all of his employees are with the Camp Casey people just outside New Orleans distributing food and supplies to people down there.

I suspect your post is flamebait ... so I'll post this and move on.

7. I remember he was running around with pneumonia on his college
tour. He put his heart and soul and camera into that. He probably felt like everyone else - depressed. And pneumonia takes awhile to recover. The next time I saw him he had no beard and was in something like a suit. Looks like he lost a bet.

23. Apologies- couldn't resist- hate baseball, was an umpire in high-school
Lost my zeal for it after their last whine fest post 9/11.

Live in MA- never watched a single game last year.

Now lets talk about Tom Brady!

27. BTW, have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11? That is where he was.
Have you seen anything by Michael Moore? Do you know he's going to Louisiana to document the real life stuff going on now, just about 10 days after the storm/hurricane hit? Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11, ?

11. I have other conclusions
I have concluded that Michael Moore was kidnapped by aliens on the night of the election and replaced with a pod person.

I figure I have about as much basis for my assumptions as you have for yours.

24. Sounds to me like you are attempting to further discredit Mr. Moore.
He's actually, a pretty earthy and compassionate and caring guy.

Have you ever met him? :shrug:

He's probably the most tolerant and honest person you could ever meet.

I'm glad he has been rewarded. It is rare for such people to be rewarded for their earnest pursuits.

stand with both your feet flat on the floor and try breathing out of your nose (not your mouth) it will take practice but keep it up and you will come around.

38. Michael Moore, according to a recent AP story, is in a weight clinic
Checked himself into a residential facility to lose some weight. His next film (which should be nearing completion, I would think) is about the health-care industry/drug companies -- the financial state of healthcare in the U.S., anyway.
