Moorewatch.com spins altruism.

[Cronopio]

From JimK's post on the web site explaining why the $12K Michael Moore gave him with good intentions was just another evil, manipulative trick:

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear: Long before Moore even considered sending a check, you, the readers of Moorewatch, as well as the readers of Right Thoughts and Right Thinking, banded together and you saved these sites. You did it, not Michael. His money never arrived until long after the sites were safely up and running again. I even said to the person who emailed me, this Google Ghost named "Nora LaVelle," that the sites were all taken care of for the moment, and she asked if I had any other ongoing expenses. That's when I told "her" about the insurance premiums and "she" said that my "angel" wanted to help.

Moving on, Moore says that "He was faced with a choice of either keep attacking me, or pay for his wife's health. Fortunately, he chose his wife" Of course I did. What a lovely implication that is, eh? It subtly implies that there may have been a decision at all to be made. It implies that I might be the kind of person who would choose to rant about Michael Moore and let my wife suffer.

That Moore, he sure is a nice guy, huh? Altruistic to the core.

1. Michael Moore did not save this site. You did. The readers, commenters and supporters of this and our other sites saved our bacon, as you have many times over the years. You are without a doubt the best bunch a blogger could ask for as readers, and if I don't say it enough, please know that I an eternally grateful for each and every one of you.

2. This money helped us a great deal. It took us from sitting behind the eight ball to balancing on top of the eight ball. For that my wife and I will always be grateful. No matter what other people say, no matter what happens in the future, Donna and I can say without reservation that Michael Moore helped us. I don't think it's unreasonable to discuss why he decided to do it in this manner, and I would hope that anyone reading this could understand that."


Just goes to show what Michael says about the little "we"s and "me" attitude rampant in America. Once people have bought into a political game plan, fig leaves from the designated opposition become just another tactic to them, and kindness is just another thing to play off of. Michael never said in the movie that he saved the site, just that he sent the check. Because Michael knows that standing up for freedom of speech means standing up for more than approved speech, or speech that you just happen to like. Michael strongly implies in the film that he sent it as a challenge to himself as much or more than for the benefit of JimK.

JimK says he's thanked Michael Moore. He f*cking well should. He has a lot to thank Michael for:

1. More visibility for his smear site, and therefore, more income.
2. A hate fetish object to displace his self loathing off to.
3. The fact that any other multimillionare (especially one more like JimK in character) would have sued his sorry ass into the ground a long time ago for libel.


Sadly, JimK clearly doesn't have anything other than a tactical regard for Michael Moore's kindness. He can now unreservedly say, with a smirk, that "Michael Moore helped *us*. (in our vendetta against him)"

1. Moore has more class in his little finger

than this person with his website. How many people will, in time, remember JimK? How many will remember Michael Moore? 'Nuff said.
