cutelildevilsmom,

"how is that racist??making fun of a name is not racist,its just childish."

He was trying to invalidate what the doctor had said, by emphasising that the doctor wasn't American. Watch the video and listen to MMs rants. Complaining that he hadn't been on CNN for three years, but then doesn't even flinch when Wolf says "We've invited you on many times and you have always refused". Trying to say that the doctor has no idea what he's talking about, then Wolf points out that the Doctor has two doctorates in medicine and is a respected journalist. Then finally, MM resorts to mocking Doctor Gupta's name. Ever previous attempt was an attack at the credibility of CNN and the doctor, this is obviously what he was doing with the way he was pronouncing the name.

i watched the clip, and was once again bowled over by what an ass michael moore is. over-bearing, arrogant, jack-ass. should we be surprised that he would make fun of a name?

our country needs people like him, however much i detest him. people need to be able to speak out...if only to bring us to have our OWN point of view.

"WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE" Man I always loved ole Luke. You do not understand because you fail to see. Tangents.. Spider u and me both know I have always told u to show me proof. Yet seldom do u show any. U are getting better. Yes u know your agenda was BUSH BUSH BUSH.. CONSERVATIVE X 3.. We are all racists in one way or anouther. Some just hide it better than others. Apperently my tangent about france u just can not grip what I was saying. It was a scapegoat to lead us astray of the world scene of 9/11. french fry's what a joke. Thier was a reason the U N did not go along with Bush... Look around u. Or are u afraid of the boogy man... Miles

why is it that people automatically try to put words into other people's mouths? why is that?

never once have i given MY opinion here.

and without health care, i'd be screwed. my children rack over 3000 bucks a month in medical bills.

miles,
i think we all have predjudices which some of us overcome when we actually get out in the world and find the stereotypes dont fit the actual people.Others are too closed minded to learn.(not aimed at anyone just a general statement)

Milesoftheusa,

If I have failed to understand you messages, it's because you have poor communication skills.

You still don't get it, because you get stuck on your own beliefs and refuse to let go. I wasn't trying to invalidate what MM said...the facts do that nicely. This wasn't a "poisoned well" argument, Micheal Moore poisons his own well. He's a liar and a hypocrite and a racist. I just pointed out the racist part, because it's something I didn't know about him before. Take it for what you will.

Racism is usually directed at a minority, so putting it up to a vote how you want to treat people of another race isn't exactly the American way. As I remember, they didn't put ending slavery up to a vote, it was decided unilaterally by a very strict, controling and unpopular (at the time) president.

I dont understand what your saying Spider.
Are you saying that the majority of us on here are not capable of being fair because of our race?

Fanta46,

No, I'm not. I'm saying that having a vote to decide something that is subjective isn't right. It's not objective, because everyone will have their own opinion. But you can't decide "It's not racist" and consider anyone who disagrees "Wrong". Some people will think of MM as a racist and some won't. If you don't, I can't see that point of view really, but I feel that you have the right to be wrong.
