Michael Moore profits from company he attacked
"I don't own a single share of stock!" filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed.Hmmm, I may just want to check this out, and see for myself just how much of a hypocrite Moore really is. If he thinks he's going to stop Halliburton by investing in their stock, boy is he mistaken.
He's right. He doesn't own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
If you want to see Moore's own signed Schedule D declaring his capital gains and losses where his stock ownership is listed, it's emblazoned on the cover of Peter Schweizer's new book, "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy."
And Moore's not the only one here who's eye-popping: just look at the following revelation on Noam Chomsky, overlord of anti-Americanism from the inside:
Noam Chomsky has made a reputation for calling America a police state and branding the Pentagon "the most hideous institution on earth," yet his entire academic career, writes Schweizer, has been subsidized by the U.S. military.Oh...my...god.
Plus, Ralph Nader:
Ralph Nader plays the role of the citizen avenger – the populist uninterested in wealth and materialism, pretending to live in a modest apartment. In fact, he lives in fancy homes registered in the names of his siblings.And he's probably got a nice big jacuzzi to boot.
Bizzy Blog's got even more on the subject that's also highly recommended for reading.
Update: Right-Wing of the Gods has a review of the book that's also very good.
Others on the subject include Media Lies, Below the Beltway, Ed Driscoll, The Llama Butchers, Moonbat Central.
