Michael Moore is overweight

Thus his endorsment of Obama is meaningless and just another cheap attempt to smear Clinton.

I thought I'd seen it all in here, but now this.

1. Apparently it is no great leap for some candidate's supporters to go from racist to weightist.

23. Not having seen that thread, this is a bit obscure for an OP. A

link to the other thread might have helped. But thanks for the possible explanation.

9. Moore is motivated by the war. Little else

Feeble. Really feeble. Even from someone who thinks they favor Hillary. But, only because of Paul Krugman and the healthcare issues.

11. So why post about it? If it is meaningless let us Obama supporters get all excited about it

For no reason.

No what is really going on here in my is that you are shocked and dazed that a big name has endorsed Obama. You know in my view it will not be as good short term. But over the long term it could do some good.

Otherwise you would not care in my view.

12. Paul Krugman and Joe Wilson are hacks.

Krugman is not even a real economist.

Camille Paglia, Andrew Sullivan, Peggy Noonan, David Brooks and Charles Krauthammer are good progressives whose wisdom is needed at DU.

This is, of course, according to some of the nuttier members of the Obama contingent at DU.

43. Paul Krugman does love him some outsourcing.

We can thank Clinton advisers like him for NAFTA.

Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 09:31 AM by ResetButton

If you're going to go there, why not go all the way and call him a "useless fat fuck", freeper style? You ever consider Moore prefers Obama for legit reasons?

Edit: before I go yelling at someone, all blurry-eyed and un-coffeed, is that your statement or a comment about someone else's?

19. That's pretty low.

If Michael Moore had endorsed Hillary Clinton, you'd be over the moon.

39. The OP is referencing a comment someone else made.

Unfortunately without providing context he opened himself up to being horribly misunderstood.

24. Now Obama will have to answer for everything Moore has done

since the guilt by association thing continues. Clark got to play that game the last time around.

27. And this just in: HRC supporters demand Jerry Nadler renounce his endorsement of HRC

or, in the alternative, commit to a year of Jenny Craig.

It really has gotten silly around here, so rather than fight it, might as well join in.

Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 10:04 AM by wowimthere

stupid. People died in this war. Why would he endorse anyone who signed on to it? Over 4000 Americans dead. Do you not see a conscience in others even if you may not have one?

Moore explained that morally he could never vote for her because she signed on to this war.
