Michael Moore: 250,000 Killed in Haiti Because It’s an Unregulated ‘Republican’s Paradise’ By Brent Baker NewsBusters.org Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore, appearing on Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO to plug the DVD release of his Capitalism: A Love Story screed, cited the 250,000 killed in Haiti, which he snidely described as an unregulated “Republican’s paradise,” as an apt analogy to justify further regulation of U.S. banks. Live via satellite from Manhattan, Moore spouted: <<< Chile had an earthquake this past week that was 500 times greater than the earthquake in Haiti. But here's the big difference. In Chile, they have various -- very serious regulations when it comes to building codes. So a thousand people died, sadly, but a thousand people died with a 500 times greater earthquake. And in Haiti, where there are no building codes, no regulations -- a Republican’s paradise -- a quarter of a million people died. >>> Haiti could better be characterized as an impoverished nation beset for decades by a corrupt socialist government. newsbusters.org
