Ann Althouse: “Am I wrong to see Moore as an anti-Semite? I don’t know, but the movie worked as anti-Semitic propaganda. I had to struggle to fight off the idea the movie seemed to want to plant in my head.”
Ann Althouse went to go see the latest for-profit, non-union labor produced “documentary” produced by Mickey Moore so that I wouldn’t have to.
It should be no surprise that their is an anti-Jew, fight the NWO theme resonating through the “movie”:
…he [Moore] presented various priests, Biblical quotations, and movie footage from “Jesus of Nazareth” to make the argument that Christianity requires socialism. With this theme, I found it unsettling that in attacking the banking system, Moore presented quite a parade of Jewish names and faces. He never says the word “Jewish,” but I think the anti-Semitic theme is there. We receive long lectures about how capitalism is inconsistent with Christianity, followed a heavy-handed array of — it’s up to you to see that they are — Jewish villains.

Now that’s funny.
I haven’t seen the movie – yet – but I found enough in the reviews and interviews to comment on in my own blog.
Moore isn’t criticizing what the Church is criticizing, when he looks at capitalism; he’s making an institutional criticism, whereas the Church is making a cultural one. Whereas the Church calls for love, charity, sacrifice, etc., Moore wants more democracy in economic policy (i.e., democratic socialism), which is anathema to the Church’s official teachings (i.e., socialism).
I totally see what you’re saying. I think Michael Moore is just adding fuel to the fire. He’s definitely an anti-Semitic, you just have to read between the lines. Taht and he’s a total racist. He talks about the good old days were, about how things were fair and everyone was well back in the 40′s 50′s and 60′s. Who was it far for? and for whom? In order for everyone to live so comfortably they needed the cheap labor of Blacks (and other new immigrants, Italians, Jews, etc) during Segregation/Jim Crow. He doesn’t really point that out that socially and financially we are really better off today as a whole nation than we were before. During these times everyone has a fair shot to make a dollar out of 15 cents, whites, balcks, asians,jews, muslims, whatever or whoever.
If you notice carefully in the movie when he is attempting to hypnotize one of the patients in the movie, the star one of the therapists uses is the Star of David. Michael Moore is attempting to muster up anti-semetic sentiment. He’s made African Americans look like buffons, he showed no dignified minorities of any kind. How can he blame Capitalism. It’s his love story, he is having a closet affair with it. He’s made over 200$ million worldwide throughout his career. I bet he doesn’t own a trailer in Flint! What a way to keep it real
So if Wall Street Jews were in fact the overwhelming per-capita beneficiaries of bailout largesse (as they were), and someone like Michael Moore says as much, then that person is a Jew-hater? Interesting….and ignorant. No wonder the Muslim world hates our guts.
I’m beginning to believe that if Jews were tossing Zyklon B down chimney stacks, murdering Muslims and Christians, and someone voiced their outrage, that someone would immediately be beaten upon as an “anti-Semite”.
Isn’t the catch line for this blog, “Sometimes the truth hurts”? Do you people have the guts to face the truth?
BTW Goldman Sachs (the DNC’s largest single contributor for two decades) recently announced that they feel no moral or ethical obligation to pay back the $13 billion in bailout funds they extorted from the US Treasury -from you, me, and everyone else in this country. As was noted on CNN last Friday, Goldman/Sachs has already started branding critics of the fat bonuses their executives will get this year as “anti-Semites”. Isn’t that convenient.
If they are American citizens, what difference could that possibly make?
LOL! That’s not why.
Of course, you have proof it was extortion?
It was not noted by me, I never watch that ridiculous propaganda machine.
You need to address your anti-Jewish and Marxist leanings. I honestly don’t care what Michael Mooron has to say, and it’s obvious most Americans don’t either, as his latest schlockumentary bombed at the box office.
What difference does a person’s heritage make in how they address this countries challenges? As much as you hate Jews, it pales in comparison to how much George Soros does, and he is a Jew, even if he claims he is Esperanto. Øbama claims he is black, but he is mulatto, and it is obvious how he hates that part of himself.
You should judge people as individuals, not on their ancestry.
I am addressing you personally I do not know what George Soros grants are for I am quite distant from America buddy but I have encountered numerous cases when Soros money where used in the anti governmental campaigns and the people I know personally who worked for his organization are morally far away from being anything worth of respect
Now I am not a Jew hater at all but definitely anti-semitic
“You need to address your anti-Jewish and Marxist leanings.”
Yea OK moron. I’ll be sure to pass this on to the rabbi who circumsized me. BTW I’m a registered Republican.
Okay then, dipshit, if what you say is true, then address your self-loathing.
He was able to tell the whole Columbine story without mentioning the shooters were Jews or that this was a large part of the enmity they had with Christian students. Fahrenheit 9/11 managed to tell the story without mentioning who the Neocons were and the dual citizenship. He made it look like Saudi was most likely to be involved.
Yes you’re wrong Ann! I’m a big Michael Moore fan and Michael has nothing but the utmost respect of people of different race, religions and creeds of all kinds. He is not as you put it an anti-Semite! That is completely outrageous and insulting! I’m not Jewish but I know that Michael sticks up for every hard working working-class men and womyn! I mean he’s a Socialist and one of the things about Socialism is that no one is anti-Semitic!
To call Michael Moore an anti-Semite is not only wrong and evil it goes against everything Michael stands for!
The spam filter caught this comment and I released it.
It is pure comedic gold.
I am womYn! Here me roar!
Socialists are not anti-semites? Now THAT IS hilarious!
