Michael Moore Posts Julian Assange's Bail
digitaldc quotes Michael Moore in a story running on the Huffington Post where he says "Yesterday, in the Westminster Magistrates Court in London, the lawyers for WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange presented to the judge a document from me stating that I have put up $20,000 of my own money to help bail Mr. Assange out of jail. Furthermore, I (Michael Moore) am publicly offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars."
..Micheal Moore actually exposes real crimes carried out by all the unpleasent dictatorships around the world. Though that might require him getting off his fat backside and doing some real investigative reporting and even putting himself in real danger , as opposed to the manufacturered danger he conjures up to keep up viewer interesr on his lame expose films.
How does it feel to to be completely, utterly wrong? Shown what an ass you are? how out of touch you are?
He has been granted bail.

It's about time that fat demagogue did something besides make shitty documentaries^Wpropaganda films.

I don't have a problem with a person having liberal or conservative beliefs. And I would applaud Moore if his goal was to expose the truth.
Moore is nothing short of a liar. I know I'll get called a troll, but there are basic verifiable facts. He lies about census numbers. Heck, he stood in front of a statue and lied about what the plaque said, even though it was really easy to verify he was lying.

Ass clown bailed by ass clown.
I have no problem with the "whistle blower" aspect of Wikileaks. That is one of the functions of a journalist, and I support bringing to light the fact that a government is doing something illegal or immoral.
However, Assange is NOT a journalist. Journalists are supposed to have a sense of responsibility. All Assange does is release documents no matter what they are, without apparently trying to determine if they NEED to be leaked.
For example, he released the list of sites that the US government finds to be "critical." How is this whistle blowing in any way shape or form? Isn't the government SUPPOSED to be making lists like this? Does this document show any crime? Would a "real" reporter publish this if they came across it? I would certainly hope they would not.
I am not opposed to the idea of something like Wikileaks, I just want it to be run by somebody with a little discernment about right vs. wrong.
"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
Moore doesn't work to expose anything, he works to further his own pocket - both Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 911 were driveling pieces of shit with huge gaping lies throughout.

I dunno. Your sense of moral equivalence needs work.
