"Most Americans, in their heart, are liberal and progressive. It's just a small minority of people who hate, they hate, they exist in the politics of hate, they don't believe two consenting adults should have the right to be in love and share their lives together and be legally protected by the state," Moore said to applause.

"They are not patriots; they are hate-triots, and they believe in the politics of hate-triotism. Hate-triotism is where they stand, and patriotism is where real Americans stand. And that is the truth and that needs to be reported," Moore added.

''They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet," Moore told Britain's Mirror newspaper recently, referring to his fellow citizens as a whole."

''We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.''

''We, the United States of America, are culpable in committing so many acts of terror and bloodshed that we had better get a clue about the culture of violence in which we have been active participants.''

''The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win.''

Moore: Americans are 'The Dumbest People on the Planet'

"But your "desertion" didn't go away -- and here's the reason why. You have sent countless numbers of our sons and daughters in the National Guard to their deaths in the last 11 months. You did this while misleading their parents and the nation with bogus lies about weapons of mass destruction and scary phony Saddam ties to al Qaeda. You sent them off to a never-ending war so that your benefactors at Halliburton and the oil companies could line their pockets."

THAT is what makes this whole business of your being AWOL so despicable, and makes the grief-stricken relatives want to turn away from you in disgust.

"I would like to apologize for referring to George W. Bush as a "deserter." What I meant to say is that George W. Bush is a deserter, an election thief, a drunk driver, a WMD liar and a functional illiterate."

Michael Moore is still in despair over the last US presidential election. He calls President Bush "a thief-in-chief, a trespasser on federal land, a squatter at the Oval Office".

Michael Moore Takes Aim at U.S. Gun Culture
By Amran Abocar

"White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I’ve never heard a black person say, 'We’re going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here — have a nice day!'”

"That little piece of slo-mo roadkill (the media circus after the 2000 election) was for those who hadn’t had their OJ/Monica fix for a while and desperately needed to watch one more ugly seam of the nation unravel like a Newt Gingrich marriage."

"Al Gore received the votes of more than 90 percent of (black Floridians) on Nov. 7, 2000. That is, 90 percent of those who were allowed to vote. In what appears to be a mass fraud committed by the state of Florida, (Jeb) Bush,  (Katherine) Harris and company not only removed thousands of black felons from the (voting) rolls, they also removed thousands of black citizens who had never committed a crime in their lives — along with

thousands of eligible voters who had committed only misdemeanors.

"We live in a time with ficticious election results that elect fictious presidents. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictious reasons. We are against this war Mr. Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you!"

Michael Moore acceptance speech at the 2003 Academy Awards

Michael Moore: “What happened to the search for Osama bin Laden?...You don’t think they [the U.S. government] know where he is?”

Bob Costas (astonished): “You think they know where Osama bin Laden is and it’s hands off?”

Moore: “Absolutely, absolutely.”

Costas: “Why?”

Moore: “Because he’s funded by their friends in Saudi Arabia! He’s back living with his sponsors, his benefactors. Do you think that Osama bin Laden planned 9-11 from a cave in Afghanistan? I can’t get a cell signal from here to Queens! I mean, come on, let’s get real about this. The guy has been on dialysis for two years. He’s got failing kidneys....I think the United States, I think our government knows where he is and I don’t think we’re going to be capturing him or killing him any time soon.”

HBO’s On the Record with Bob Costas - May 9, 2003

"Do you like where he's going on giving bigger tax breaks to the rich?" -- the vast majority of Americans are opposed to his policies. So that should be not surprising, considering how the majority didn't vote for him. You know he's there illegally. You know he was not elected either by the popular vote or by the vote in Florida."

"People who read BuzzFlash or people like ourselves, we know all those facts about Florida and what Katherine Harris did, and the private firm that took African-Americans off the voting rolls and prohibited them from voting. But I've been surprised in this first week how many average Americans were not aware of all of the trickery and deceit that took place in the year before the election to fix it for George W. Bush. And if people read that -- I mean, you should see some of the letters I've received -- they have the sickest feeling in their gut. They're just . . . they cannot believe that the Bushes got away with this."

BuzzFlash Interviews Michael Moore

http://www.buzzflash.com/interviews/2002/03/Michael_Moore_031302.html



"So today is what you call "the moment of truth," the day that "France and the rest of world have to show their cards on the table." I'm glad to hear that this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having survived 440 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure if I could take much more. So I'm glad to hear that today is Truth Day, 'cause I got a few truths I would like to share with you: "

"We know what the real issues are that affect our daily lives -- and none of them begin with I or end in Q. Here's what threatens us: two and a half million jobs lost since you took office, the stock market having become a cruel joke, no one knowing if their retirement funds are going to be there, gas now costs almost two dollars -- the list goes on and on. Bombing Iraq will not make any of this go away. Only you need to go away for things to improve."

A Letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush on the Eve of War
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2003-03-17

"I agree with the National Rifle Association when they say, 'Guns don't kill people, people kill people,' " he told NBC's "Today" show. "Except I would alter that to say, 'Guns don't kill people, Americans kill people.' We're the only country that does this, and we do it on an personal level in our neighborhoods and within our families and our schools, and we do it on a global level. The American attitude is that we believe we have a right to just go in and bomb another country. This is where Bush is going right now, right?"
