MM complaining about the rich. How rich is that. Next , he will write a book on how to successfully lose weight .

The only tool on that set was the one wearing the hat.

Moore studied all night and still couldn’t pass his urine test.

Colbert actually made MM look like the total clown that he is.

A lot of @MMFlint’s Twitter feed yesterday was devoted to his appearance on Colbert. He tweeted after recording the segment “I never cease to be amazed at the genius of this show” and then after taking a break to tweet about the President’s speech, he added; “Hahaha. That was fun! He NAILED me! I told him before show: no plugs! So he holds up DVD of “Capitalism” just to mess w/ me. Hahahaha!”

I have to say that with the hype Moore was giving, I was actually expecting something slightly better, but it was just his first appearance and they did seem to play well together, so maybe Colbert will become a regular part of his rounds.

Moore: “Their sitting on our money”. I pay 50% of my paycheck to taxes. How much more does he want?

“The cap’s not fooling anybody”? Ooh what a barb. Let no-one say that Colbert lets off leftists easily just because he agrees with them! He’s way more balanced than those fox news d00ds.

Also, in this article his audience is described as “left-leaning”. Such a description is more ridiculous than anything Colbert ever said in or out of “character”. Left leaning? These people are way out in magical cloud cuckoo land, if you put a glass up to their skulls you’d hear “Obama obama obama”, and they can probably recite every vapid and unbearable-to-sane-people big Obama campaign/acceptance “speech” turd for turd.

“I have a memo to you and that memo is that you won’t be one of the 400 [wealthiest people in America]. You’re just going to be a tool of Viacom for as long as Viacom will allow you to remain on the air.”

That should have been your headling considering that Moore, while successful is also not a member of the 400 richest. Oh, and anyone here who claims to be paying 50% of their income in taxes is a damn liar or a damn fool! The top tax rate is 35%. Just ask the Republicans. They fought to keep it that way!

That’s headline!

“The top tax rate is 35%. Just ask the Republicans. They fought to keep it that way!”

Yes, there are no other taxes than income taxes.

Once again, right wingers just can’t understand the nuances of this exchange between Moore and Colbert. It’s also amazing to watch many on the right not give a shit to the fact that the richest in this country keep getting richer on THEIR backs, be they huge tax cuts, paying no taxes whatsoever, or even getting billions back in tax refunds while screwing the middle class in the process. And it all started with their hero, Ronald Reagan.

Loads of cash.

I miss Jimmy Carter too. We here in England miss the days of Jim Callaghan (you wont have ever heard of him, for good reason, he was the last Prime Minister before Thatcher). We miss the piles of garbage on the street and those lovable union fellows smashing people’s cars up because they tried to go to work, and throwing lumps of concrete at them from bridges, and…

I understand Moore completely. He’s one of the wealthy people who aren’t bitching all the time about taxes, and he doesn’t resent the poor. You see, a lot of your right-wing arse holes think the liberals are against wealth. Not so. We’re against greed and exploitation. You can be as wealthy as you like, as long as you’re getting it fairly, and you acknowledge the work others have contributed to your riches.

WTF does any of that have to do with the re-distribution of wealth in this country? BTW, looked out your window lately? Over half a million Brits are pretty pissed off right now, and those numbers are growing. That’s not to say your problems are exactly the same as ours, but here we have a political system that is nothing more than an Oligarchy, and American Unions are the only things standing in the way from a complete corporate takeover of America.

I’m a liberal and I don’t miss Carter whatsoever. So WTF does your argument mean in this regard? My guess is nothing, since you don’t know.

This is the argument of the left… ignore all other taxes taken from us. They only see what they wan to see. I pay more in taxes than anything else. My mortgage, my car, food, family…. all take second place to the tax man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Maz9ddxEQnM

Here’s an idea for all you right wingers out there. I have no problems with you arguing for lower taxes for the 150 million who are suffering. So why don’t you argue for HIGHER taxes for those American corporations who are screwing you over?

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?

Better yet, why not argue for some Americans corporations to actually pay ANY taxes rather than get billions in refunds?

Again, WTF is wrong with you?

Dookiestix said:

I tend to keep away from my window for fear that some pot smoking, Che-shirt wearing idiot will probably smash it with a fire extinguisher in his or her latest attention-seeking temper tantrum.

God only knows why they are angry at capitalism. How is it some banker’s fault that they have such unfulfilled miserable lives? They should probably look to their snotbag, child of the 60s aging hippie parents if they seek someone to blame.

“…..his “hat wasn’t fooling anyone,” pointing out Moore’s hypocrisy while implying his folksy headgear was about as genuine as President Bush’s rolled up sleeves.”

….or when Obama does it h a b i t u a l l y ? I guess the guy with virtually no private sector experience is being perfectly genuine when he rolls up his sleeves.

Yes… I think Olbermann’s old boss (GE) should start paying taxes. But you won’t see many liberals screaming about them due to their connection with MSNBC. Olbermann and his ilk certainly never felt the need to call them out. Moore still appeared on MSNBC didn’t he??? Where’s the outcry from you folks on that one??? I have no problem with the top 400 getting taxed more. AFTER they cut spending, and only after. I want congress to prove in can live within a budget and cut expenditures before taking anymore money from people.

Funny… you don’t hear libs scream about GE getting off tax free, just like the anti-war movement dried up when the bombs were dropped by a Dem. Funny how that happens.

Also funny how roxsteady ran away with his/her tail between their legs after making a fool out of themselves.

There is no word strong enough to describe the stupidity of the “people” that think Moore is really looking out for them.

But until that word is found we will just have to stay with progressive.

Leave it to a piece of scum like you to use slurs. But I would expect nothing less. BTW do a little research about how Moore treats his staff and see what you think. It is well documented that he didn’t allow unions to form on his failed TV series.

Do yourself a favor and friggin’ buy a clue first before making such stupid, ill informed comments. Seriously, it’s like a knee jerk reaction with you right wingers. It’s like you don’t know what to say other than what your masters at Fox News tell you to say.

By the way, do you by any means have a formal education? “roxsteady” I’m asking this because only an illiterate would not know the distinction between Federal income taxes, and State and local income taxes; including a list of other taxes(that also never existed 100 years ago until the progressive movement kicked in full swing during the Woodrow Wilson era). Your comment sounds so silly and reveals the fact that you are probably part of the % in the population who make little or NO contribution in Federal Income Taxes, but like to be addressed as “tax payers”.

The wealthy in New York are paying as much as 52% of their earnings on taxes, and yet vilified (by the same unenlightened folks like you) for their financial status as the evil rich.

Look who calls someone a “damn liar or a damn fool” for paying 50% of their income in taxes that enables the government take care of folks like you who rely on the endless entitlement programs.

Bollocks!

He doesn’t bitch about his taxes…….yet never seems to send in any extra to help the poor……but bitches about everybody else not paying even Moore so that people of like mind to him can distribute it as they see fit.

The 52% IIRC deosn’t count tax on gas as well, if they buy it because many in NY don’t.

But Moore is unashamed about something besides his caloric intake. He willing pimped 90% tax raters to O’Reilly and stated unequivocably recently that none of our money is ours……it belongs to the govt. and they simply allow us to keep what ever they feel is just.

Gee sign me up for a double dose of that shit huh?

Rox was obviously referring to the federal income tax. The only way you could gainsay her (illogically and unreasonably) was to try to find a worst-case scenario – which itself is suspect. Wealthy persons and corporations use tax shelters, write-offs and what are essentially tax GIVEAWAYS to avoid paying up – shelters, write-offs and giveaways unavailable to most working-class people.

The corporate tax is something like 35 percent but the EFFECTIVE corporate rate is closer to SEVEN percent – assuming a given corporation pays anything at all.

I bear no animus toward wealthy people and companies; I DO expect them to pay their fair share for the infrastructure and government services from which they disproportionately benefit. They used to.

The Koch brothers and their neocon cronies more or less BOUGHT several Midwestern governorships and now have them doing their bidding, shifting the cost of government to those least capable of paying for it while giving the wealthy unneeded tax breaks – while simultaneously destroying the rights of working people.

A decade of Bush’s tax cuts produced few net jobs, thus disproving the canard that giving the wealthy more money would cause them to create more jobs.

Businesses don’t create jobs just because they have $$$. Why would they spend money needlessly? They only create jobs in response to demand for goods and services, which increasingly impoverished Americans are less able to afford. Bush and the Republicans merely accelerated the downward spiral that your beloved St. Ronald set in motion.

Colbert is a brilliant satirist – so brilliant he has some neocons convinced he’s one of THEM!

I’m not Garth, but…

There was little anti-war positioning at beginning of Iraq and Afghanistan. Popular opinion and thus media some media reporting didn’t turn until later, which is pretty much where we are at this time.

I don’t watch enough MSNBC to know everything they’re reporting about GE, but this post has a clip of Michael Moore saying something negative about the situation on Colbert; Jon Stewart covered the issue last night that started as a question about the need to lower corporate taxes in light of this scandal, then it turned to taking a swipe against President Obama and NBC News;

And though it’s pretty simplistic, a little too long because they include a couple of minutes worth of Stewart up front as a disclaimer, but while he didn’t “slam” his employer, I thought Lawrence O’Donnell used it effectively to argue for a “rewrite” of corporate tax law, a few nights ago.

But I bet that while we’re all laughing together, the conservative mindset is getting a totally different message. The liberal/progressive, like myself, knows the very rich can afford to pay higher taxes. They’re living in a society that has given them a structure in which they can get rich whether they earn it or inherit it. A supposedly advanced society like ours can easily be structured so there is universal health care which would benefit all. We know that unions have been and can continue to be an integral and necessary force for good. We also know that there is only one economic system that works and it’s called the free market ‘capitalist’ system. It just needs to be regulated. We also know that while 99% of wars are unnecessary, occasionally, as we’ve just seen, ‘intervention’ can work in a positive way to save lives and help get rid of evil characters.. But why is it that most of the rightwingers watching this think that Moore is just a lazy fat fuuk, and Colbert is just a funny fake, and that government is bad and has no right to touch my hard earned money. It’s all very puzzling.

If Michael Moore would just skip 7 or 8 meals a day we could save the lives of at least 4 starving children.

There are many on Wall Street who need to be prosecuted as criminals. We decide who’s wealth was ill-gotten booty by enforcing the rules, by abiding by the llaw. And in this world, someone with wealth is supposed to acknowledge the work others have contributed to their wealth through proper compensation. I don’t understand we this simple concept escapes you.

Michael Moore is such a fool. He thinks there is a war between classes? Hardly. The only difference between rich people and poor people is brains and hard work. If you have a good idea all you have to do is go to 1 of thousands of banks to get a loan. Everyone already has the same money, its just that your money is in the bank and it costs you a minimal fee for the interest rate to spend it. If your idea or work is good enough it will attract investors and you actually will have people paying you for your idea and work. Wages are payment for your work or ideas themselves and if the entity that pays those wages whether it be a corporation, the government, or your parents decide your wages do not need to be raised, that is probably because the job you perform can be done by hundreds of others cheaper. Either improve your work, ideas, or accept the wages that others are willing to accept for identical work.

Some say, Michael Moore does not travel that way, but changes into this garb before he gets off of his private plane.
