Video at RCP, from a show that no one watches.
“The smart rich know they can only build the gate so high. And, and, sooner or later history proves that people when they’ve had enough aren’t going to take it anymore. And much better to deal with it nonviolently now, through the political system, than what could possibly happen in the future, which nobody wants to see,” Michael Moore said on Current TV’s “Countdown” program.
Moore was alluding to riots, which he was discussing with “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann prior to his comment to deal with things nonviolently now.
Both Mikey and Keef are pretty rich. They surely know that the rich pay more than their share of US taxes. Like Elizabeth Warren’s rhetoric about “marauding bands,” Moore is engaging in violent class warfare. That’s his schtick. That’s his party’s schtick. Bob Beckel, who is also rich, just agreed with rich man Moore on Fox.
It’s disgusting, really.
So, RCP is one of Current TV’s 10 viewers, eh? I wonder who the other 9 are.
Inciting a riot is a felony in all 50 states. Inciting a revolution against the U.S. Government is also a felony – commonly called treason.
Actually, it’s “insurrection”, not treason.
And we no longer prosecute either among civilians, which is a damn shame.
“Michael Moore Threatens to Eat the Rich”, now that’s an incentive to pay higher taxes.
More seriously, agree with spinoneone. Careless rhetoric should have consequences, for progressives too.
Yes, I’m rich, but don’t eat ME guys. I’m high cholesterol, blubbery, and gamey, with a skunk like aroma. I would be bad for your health, even if my big meaty, fatty ribs are slathered in a yummy BBQ sauce.
Actually, if I ever happen to be roadkill buzzards who feast upon me would certainly die of clogged arteries.
And as for Dana Perino’s snark that I should be on that weight loss show, ‘The Biggest Loser’, I find her remarks to be hurtful.
If you ever become “road kill,” I hate to see what happens to the Mack truck it would require to do you in.
No, seriously, when are you coming on my show?
who wins in a head-on collision between a stationary michael moore and a smart car going 25 mph (with al gore driving)?
Who wins?! We ALL do in that hypothetical situation!!
Can’t we just render Moore into biofuel? I bet he could keep an aircraft carrier going for a week.
Only a week? You’re probably being kind with that estimate.
“And, and, sooner or later history proves that people when they’ve had enough aren’t going to take it anymore. And much better to deal with it nonviolently now, through the political system, than what could possibly happen in the future, which nobody wants to see.”
Funny, that’s exactly how the majority of this country feels about the uber-liberal agendas being crammed down our throats as of late. Hence the 2010 Republican wave, Ted Kennedy seat, Wisconsin recalls, the recent special elections, and the SCFOAMF’s poll numbers that bear a striking resemblance to the reentry of a falling satellite.
Actually, it started in Virginia in 2009 where the tea party infused conservatives swept the statewide races. McDonnell as Governor. Bolling as Lt. Gov. And Ken Cuccinelli as Attorney General!!
But yes on everything else.
Incidentally, VA votes on all state senators and delegates this year. We need to flip the senate, in which the Democrats hold a two seat majority. They’ve run roughshod over several issues and one of the Dems running for re-election said he ‘might not’ support Barack Obama in 2012 because he’s afraid that the coal miners in his district might hand his ass to him.
Watch Virginia this year. It’s not a national election but it will be a bellwhether.
GVii, you are exactly right, that is exactly how many libertarians and conservatives feel. And, this drivel from Moore is exactly the kind of crap we are getting fed up with. He is making a threat; ‘give in to our demands now, peacefully, or we will get violent.’
From our side the sentiment seems to be; ‘keep pushing your extreme agenda and see what happens’.
The difference is that they are on the offense, and we are on the defense. Conservatives would just as soon forget all of this and get back to work and live our lives. Unfortunately for us, what they are doing is how they live their lives.
“Michael Moore Threatens to Eat the Rich”
If I was the rich, I’d take that threat seriously.
Olbermann and Moore are both physical cowards.
– Warren and Beckel (fat not a muscle substitute).
Michael Moore looks like he has already eaten half of the food in Africa. He could eat all the politicians in Africa by himself.
And it’s a credible threat, because heaven knows he ate SOMEONE
Another millionaire Communist spewing vomit.
It doesn’t matter how high you build the gate. Michael Moore couldn’t climb over it if it were four feet tall.
After eating everything else what’s left for him?
“And, and, sooner or later history proves that people when they’ve had enough aren’t going to take it anymore.”
Yeah, that’s true. Eventually people, like myself, are going to get sick and tired of being robbed blind by the government, in order to pay for things that don’t benefit us one iota, and we’re going to put a stop to it.
By any means necessary.
