Honestly, if all you can do is childishly make fun of his weight instead of something intelligent to what he said, why not just give your fingers a rest and not post at all? At least you would save yourselves from looking like schoolyard girlie-groups who have to cluck, cluck over someone's look.
I think it has far less to do with the size of his waistline and far more to do with his political leanings that earn him all the vitriol.
It's an opinion piece, is anyone really shocked that he offered his opinion in it?
So what? Dozens of folks, if not more, make a sh!t ton of cash off their opinions. And they all give us water cooler gossipers something to yammer about.
Michael Moore Recommends Soldiers Punch the Lights Out of People Who Thank Them for Their Service
Michael Moore: Those Who Say 'I Support the Troops' Really Don't
Much of it has to do with the irony of the stunt (read: hunger strike to also highlight the struggle for necessities like food) and the fact that neither individual appears to have had any issues with hunger.
Opinion is one thing, but promoting violence within that opinion is quite another thing
Hmmm... so because Mr. Moore believes that those troops were sent to war to commit illegitimate acts of violence, they should therefore now commit more such acts?
Do I have that right, or did I miss something here?
lol... if you take a quote out of context he's promoting violence. If you actually read it... no.
Yeah... I saw that non-promotion of violence in the statement:
"And please, next time some "supporter of the troops" says to you with that concerned look on their face, "I thank you for your service," you have my permission to punch their lights out (figuratively speaking, of course)."
So, I'm guessing that this is the 'quote out of context' to which you refer?.. The one that has the disclaimer at the end that his lawyer probably demanded that he include?
So, please tell me o wise one... How does one provide permission to punch their lights out in an 'out of context' sense?
Does Moore believe that those with his expressed permission, the antagonist will mime their actions and thoughts?
Perhaps they'll simply state it verbally and quickly add-in that this is not to be construed as a threat of physical violence but as anecdotal commentary on their 'lack of support'.
You've never heard anyone in your life use physical references for verbal 'bouts'? Come on now.
lol. Good to know he carries such immense stroke. lol.
He clearly states he means it in a figurative sense. But, you're going to manufacture outrage over it, and carry his message further than if he'd simply stated his opinion on what it means to support the troops.
Sure I have... But Moore still spit out those very specific words, and no amount of disclaimers can change the actions that he provided his permission for, figuratively or not?

The part where he says he's being figurative.

Whoa slow down there Stretch Armstrong!
Lol. Sorry, like him, dislike, agree with him, disagree with him, whatever but you're literally choosing to take a figurative expression (and one that was expressly stated as being figurative) literally.
He does a lot of over the top antics, but this ain't one of them. It's a big stretch.
Too much packaging; too little substance. I ain't buying!
