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."
Michael Moore finds way to stay relevant
It doesn't. It's just one propaganda artist trying to gain publicity by sticking up for another.
Assange Bailed by Ass Clown
In Soviet Russia, Chuck Norris will still kick your ass.
Actually: "The BBC says bail was set at 200,000 British pounds — about $317,000. A number of Assange's wealthy friends appeared in court today to pledge the funds."
So, Moore put up six percent of the bail-- but publically claims he "posted Julian Assage's Bail". Gosh.

Oh christ, just one? Google Fahrenheit 9/11 and error, or hoax, or lies. He accused someone who said he had a toll free number of not even having a 1-800 number...it was a 1-888 number. He said the White House let the bin Ladens leave after 9/11, implying Bush just let them go. Actually, someone else in the White House let them go after the FBI investigated them for 2 weeks. His movies are filled with blatant lies and deliberate misrepresentations. I wouldn't trust a single thing he says, even this.
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
There are websites that document hundreds of verifiable lies that he has made.
This is the same guy who has insinuated that George W. Bush is pals with Osama Bin Laden and specifically sent too few troops into Afghanistan to make sure Bin Laden escaped and wanted to keep his Taliban friends safe.
Nutjob and liar. What a great combination. It is a shame because he tackles issues that do deserve some attention, and then he invalidates the discussion his his bullshit.
http://blindscribblings.com - Tasty pop-culture in conceptual fashion.
a lot of people in the middle and somewhat on the left think he makes some brilliant points
By middle, you mean leftists that assume they represent the middle and assume anyone right of them is a neocon.
He is wanted for rape charges. It's the poor reporting that has hidden this nasty little fact.
I'd hate to hear the racist crap Hitler's Grandfather came out with at the dinner table. How right wing must HE have been?
Selling a tool that has only the purpose of killing things means you're facilitating killing things.
Put pictures of stags' heads on the box, though, and you can pretend they're for huntin' and stuff.
Michael Moore's body of work equates to a joke level quantity of monumental stupidity. The man has a political bias as large as his backside, but worse, he's not even very good at presenting his bias. HIs movies are garbage, and although they make make some points, these are often obliterated by his idiocy and institutional lying. I fundamentally object to the idea that you are going to uncover your political opposites who have 'lied' by presenting a pack of munmental bullshit wrapped in lies.
And yes, I'm a Brit. His painting of the UK NHS system - and the icons and artwork and pictures were obscene level lying that were unforgivable.
There is this pathetic peddled view posted around on the interent about this 'theory' that Americans are more stupid, and badly led than say Europeans, and others. They paint this false painting of their moral stupidity. Its one I happen to disagree with Americans are not all stupid red necks and so on. But one qualification for being quantified as pathetically stupid and painfully gullable is to go to a MM movie and come out the other side thinking something you just saw has some form of value.
As for Assange - Nothing more than an opportunist shithead who's fundamental driver is to make a stack of money. And he really does not care who he shits on. Has this piece of shit given Manning some money yet? As for Manning, don't really care what others think. He deserves whatever he is going to get.
As for the people like Pilger hanging around Assange, no real surprise there. Pilger stinks out any city block he happens to be in. Nuff said.
We`re all equal
