Legacies - Michael Moore's Response To A Bush Victory
It's about 5:30AM and I just put my 3 month old daughter back to sleep. I'm sifting through the email and I've got about 30 requests to write something about the latest insanity from Michael Moore.
I read Michelle Malkin's post yesterday about the mosaic that Moore posted to his site in response to his hopes being dashed against the rocks of Common Sense. The mosaic is made up of pictures of the American men and women who have died in Iraq.
If you haven't seen it, it's here. You can enlarge the mosaic to see the individual pictures. One of my good friends is about four over and two down. Another is about halfway down and about ten in. The third is towards the bottom of the page.
Although I understand her point, I've got to disagree with Michelle on this. It's an emotional aspect of me that I can't separate even though I know I should be stronger than that.
That rat sonofabitch used the pictures of my friends...friends who would never have imagined to be used in such a way. Friends who knew what honor and integrity and commitment meant. Friends who sacrificed their lives so that millions could be free.
What has Moore done? What has Moore accomplished with his life?
He's made millions of dollars. He's won awards. But it doesn't seem like he's done much else, does it? Did he donate or has he supported the wounded at Walter Reed and elsewhere (like you all have)? Did he affect the outcome of the election?
Moore is a tired, bitter, shrill, shell of man who is well on his way to irrelevancy. The media has reported that people voted against him. He doesn't have a legacy. Think about that.
My friends, the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice will have legacies of freedom...no matter what that rat sonofabitch wants.
Update: Chris C sends this link to a mosaic of Michael Moore.

You are being too kind. I would say what I think but one does not express such language when describing living feces on a public medium.
IT has neither morals, scruples nor ethics. IT exists because it allowed to.
I heard Robert Redford is moving to Ireland. Perhaps he will be joined with his friends.
Perhaps they could renounce their citizenship and go to Iran to live the Dhimmi way.

Just remember B5 - you reap what you sow. I don't expect he'll be getting any virgins or twinkies when he end up in his final place. I just read the Paul Krugman piece today in the NY Times called "No Surrender." I was foolishly hoping that the other side would give up - even for a little while. They are polluting America. They are bad for America. Either the ADULTS stand up and stop them or the next 4 years will be even more hateful to our soldiers and our citizens. They don't have America's interests at hearts - only their own power drives them. I'm proud of our soldiers. I pray for their families. And I wish, for once, justice can be served to those who do us harm from within our own borders.

I saw it and saw red. I read Michele's piece and couldn't even begin to agree. I thought that maybe she was able to take a higher road than me.
Again, what he's done is beyond wrong. It's beyond low. It's beyond description.
My sincere hope is that he fades away to obscurity. NOW. That will eventually kill him. He feeds off of the hatred he tries to breed.

B5 sez: "Moore is a tired, bitter, shrill, shell of man who is well on his way to irrelevancy. The media has reported that people voted against him. He doesn't have a legacy. Think about that."
Nor does he have any relevancy. Hopefully his overinflated ego has been taken down a bit a well. But I imagine that won't last long.
The Krugman's, Hersch's, etc are still marching down the looney, leftwing, tinfoil beanie path as never before. Here and there you find a morsel of reasonableness out of some dem's..but not many.

I don't even have words that can adequately convey my disgust of Michael Moore. He is entitled to his opinion - but not entitled to drag the names and pictures of people who have died for this country into his sleezy little world. That's all I can say without losing my temper completely!

Somebody should consiter hitting moore in the kisser with a ripe tomato but why waste good food just use the old pie in the eye like they did in the old slap stick comedies SPLAT

B5,
Thanks for posting something about Moore's mosaic in response to my (and apparently about 30 other) e-mail...We appreciate it. My thoughts exactly.
Posted by: NYAviator | November 05, 2004 at 09:41 AM
I think a more appropriate mosaic of Moore would be made up of the men he called his heroes - the "Minutemen" who saw the heads off of civilians while chanting "God is great," and the petty tyrants around the world who Moore (and Chomskey and their soulless brethren) who feed people ito plastic shredders for daring to laugh at a joke.
Moore is a nihilist, and as such, is ideologically bound to destroy anything seen as great. He's a propagandist - I've taken to calling him Fritz Hippo (from Fritz Hippler, director of The Eternal Jew - a revolting piece of Nazi propaganda from which Moore seems to draw inspiration).
And the Democrats, from Jimmy Carter to Terry McAwful, love the guy. I think that says something about them - something we have to keep in front of the public eye until it's recognized and no longer a danger. We didn't react fast enough in the 60's - we didn't call them on their lies early enough.
I pray we do so now, and that we don't wait until a resurrected SDS joins forces with Hamas, and street riots dominate the evening news.

One of the pictures (apparently used twice) that jumps out at me is CWO Aaron Weaver where he was killed in the medevac shot down by terrorist (Against the geneva convention) Since he was involved in Iraq, he was also involved in Somalia in the Black Hawk Downing's.
I'm sure he would have wanted to be there. Not be used as a tool against Bush.
You can find his picture 2nd from the top, 4th from the right or 9th from the right.

For those who are wondering what the Moore picture is made of, I zoomed in to get a better look.
Snakes. How appropriate. He should aspire to the heights of a snake's belly.
Posted by: ubu | November 05, 2004 at 04:32 PM
I have not read the Booreish Mooreish crap, so maybe I come away with a different impression of the image.
I'd say retitle it "A Commander Remembers, Honors and Grieves", give it a new meaning, with a new life.
What it grew out of, does not mean it has to be what it grows up in to.
To say we're utterly disgusted by Moore would be such a gross understatement is not even funny. The man is a cancer that needs immediate treatment.
All the best,
Angel

Snakes?
I thought they were long snaky turds...
Posted by: Otis Wildflower | November 05, 2004 at 07:44 PM
Angel - you beat me to it ...
I just saw the posting from Blackfive - and my first reaction was coloured by the lack of respect that Moore earns ...
Then, my heritage kicked in ...
Chances are, many, possibly most, of those pictured would be proud to be 'used' in just such a composite of their Commander-in-Chief ...
If the White House can get the permissions from the various next-of-kin, then that picture could end up occupying a place of honour in the White House, and in the various HQs of the units in which those individuals served.
What better way to remember those pictured, and in an enduring way ?
The fact that it reverses Moore's intentions makes it even more fitting ...

Maybe you should write an article entitled 'Proper Ways to Express Dissent during a War'. Don't get me wrong, I'm a patriotic American with a brother serving active cuty in the Air Force. But you need to leave Michael alone. His voice of dissent is needed at a time when too many Americans buy into what a war-time government would like them to think. It's not a reflection of which party's in power, this happened during the Vietnam War also:
http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/20263
Michael, speak up. I'd prefer that we win the war in Iraq, but that's not the course we're presently on. Since the end of the invasion, things have only gotton worse, not better. The truth hurts.
Posted by: jon | November 05, 2004 at 08:44 PM
Now we know why he wanted pictures of the dead returning in coffins.
What disgusts me, though, is that some people want to focus exclusively on the servicemembers who died in Iraq, and ignore those in Afghanistan and those who died as a result of all of the other terrorist attacks carried out by terrorism. Where are their pictures, Mr. Moore? Where is the listing of their names?
Posted by: Dawn | November 05, 2004 at 09:19 PM
snakes? I thought they were a**holes. Jees guess I better get the old orbs checked.
Did you hear about this one?

Just one more reason why we all know that the fatboy Moore is just one hugh boil on the buttocks of the world.
Posted by: Kaycey | November 05, 2004 at 11:41 PM
Jon, there is a difference between voicing dissent and molesting the memories of brave warriors who have fallen for their country so that some other agenda may be pursued. Moore is not the voice of dissent, he is the voice of the enemy. He openly bragged in a letter to President Bush on November 1 that Osama bin Laden was making the same points in his video that were made in Fahrenheit 9/11. Dissent is one thing, sedition is another.

Re: Moore Mosaic
Nice snake pic of Tubby Riefenstahl. If I may be so bold, the artist should have also used back-seat decolletage images. I mean, doesn't Ole Michigan Fats does look like a half-assed plumber? Now, if he would just snake down some slimey drain.

I read Michelles article also, and cant find the joy in Michael Moore using the image. Unbridled disgust for a man I already loathe is more appropriate.
Just like this last election, he is going to help do the heavy lifting for another democrat defeat.
