MICHAEL MOORE: HYPOCRITE

Not exactly breaking news, I know.

Last night Esquire threw a party for Michael Moore's new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, which all about the vulgar displays of income inequality in this country and how Americans are suffering as a result of the recession. Then according to one person who attended the premiere, this happened:

Following the Premiere, Esquire shuttles many of the attendees straight down to SoHo to the opening of The Esquire Apartment – a fully decadent penthouse where every square inch is paid for by a luxury sponsor. Hot tub, $120k pool table, $60k home theater, fine food. The only thing lacking was a doormat saying “Welcome To Capitalism.”

I had fun….But ooooh the irony. Everyone I talked to was like, “man, this is the most bizarre combination. I bet Michael Moore would freak out if he saw that this was happening.”….And then he showed up. And was eating it up. And then one of the families from the film came.

    I've decided to take Moore up on his point and not see the film (and therefore he won't see any of my money).

    To be liberal is to be a raging hypocrite. Been sayin that for years... I think his films are purely comedy... he's just not credible enough to call them propaganda... To me it's like, look at this idiot, he thinks people are buying this...! The Sicko thing was flat out hilarious... I watched b/c it was on HBO... Essentially the film's conclusion was that everyone and anyone should get all and any type of first rate health care for free... anything... f-ing free for life

    Moore is part of the liberal elite class. The evils of capitalism and unequal wealth distribution are only pertinent to the peasants. None of this applies to the royalty class of which Moore belongs. Its really that simple and that obvious to anyone who uses their brain. People that continue to fall for it are fools.
