Michael Moore Threatens Democrats: Bring Troops Home Now or Else! Posted by Noel Sheppard NewsBusters.org November 30, 2006 It seems that one prominent member of the ultra-left in our country is starting to get the sinking feeling that he was duped by the Democrat bait and switch campaign strategy. Schlockumentartist and leading propagandist Michael Moore practically issued a fatwa at his website Wednesday demanding Democrats bring American troops home from Iraq immediately or suffer the consequences in the next elections (grateful hat tip to NB member “aero”, emphasis mine throughout): <<< The responsibility to end this war now falls upon the Democrats. Congress controls the purse strings and the Constitution says only Congress can declare war. Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi now hold the power to put an end to this madness. Failure to do so will bring the wrath of the voters. We aren't kidding around, Democrats, and if you don't believe us, just go ahead and continue this war another month. We will fight you harder than we did the Republicans. The opening page of my website has a photo of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, each made up by a collage of photos of the American soldiers who have died in Bush's War. But it is now about to become the Bush/Democratic Party War unless swift action is taken. >>> Moore followed with an outline that couldn’t be any clearer: This is what we demand: 1. Bring the troops home now. Not six months from now. NOW. Quit looking for a way to win. We can't win. We've lost. Sometimes you lose. This is one of those times. Be brave and admit it. 2. Apologize to our soldiers and make amends. Tell them we are sorry they were used to fight a war that had NOTHING to do with our national security. We must commit to taking care of them so that they suffer as little as possible. The mentally and physically maimed must get the best care and significant financial compensation. The families of the deceased deserve the biggest apology and they must be taken care of for the rest of their lives. 3. We must atone for the atrocity we have perpetuated on the people of Iraq. There are few evils worse than waging a war based on a lie, invading another country because you want what they have buried under the ground. Now many more will die. Their blood is on our hands, regardless for whom we voted. If you pay taxes, you have contributed to the three billion dollars a week now being spent to drive Iraq into the hellhole it's become. When the civil war is over, we will have to help rebuild Iraq. We can receive no redemption until we have atoned. >>> And simply concluded: <<< “We demand the Democrats listen to us and get out of Iraq now.” >>> Those of you that have been following this blog the past few weeks know that I have been questioning what will happen when folks begin to realize just how much they were scammed by the Democrats and the media in this election. Frankly, there were more lies and shameless distortions of reality during this campaign than conceivably any in history, and the press were a huge part of it. If folks like Moore are starting to get angry, one has to wonder when this begins to become apparent to the Netroots. At that point, something is likely to hit the fan. We shall know in the fullness of time just what that substance is. newsbusters.org newsbusters.org michaelmoore.com michaelmoore.com

JF, > Do you know the difference between average and mean? Another one of your "nuances" John? m-w.com 1 a : a single value (as a mean, mode, or median) that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values b : MEAN 1b 2 a : an estimation of or approximation to an arithmetic mean > And do you note a trend in the chart? Sure I do. The average (i.e. annual mean) temperature of L.A. has been below 65.5 degrees for the past seven years. That's cooler than during the period between the years 1980-1997, like on the order of a few degrees. Looks like this fact doesn't favor the global warming alarmists. Nuance that. Tenchusatsu
