"The smart rich know they can only build the gate so high. And, and, sooner or later history proves that people when they've had enough aren’t going to take it anymore. And much better to deal with it nonviolently now, through the political system, than what could possibly happen in the future, which nobody wants to see," Michael Moore said on Current TV's "Countdown" program.
Michael Moore Threatens The "Rich": Let's "Deal With It Nonviolently Now" | RealClearPolitics
Threats? That is what progressives have devolved to? What a jack ass Moore is. He clearly does not understand business, nor the meaning of hypocrisy. Where did he make his millions? How much does he give back to the government?
Ok, So my question to libs....
Maxine Waters, "Tea partiers can go straight to hell....And I intend to help them get there...."
Andre Carson, "The tea party wants to see blacks hanging from a tree...."
Hoffa, "This is a war!....
Is this the more civil discourse dear leader was calling for after the Giffords shooting?
What is the matter with progressives?
You want violence? I say bring it...I am ready.

First of all, it's not really fair to associate Moore with all libs. I know plenty of liberals who can't stand the guy. I'm not a huge fan, myself. Secondly, I don't see how his statement is that big of a deal. He is always talking about how he and his supporters are going to change things and blah blah blah. I see another pointless film on the horizon. That's about it.
As for your other quotes, they are typical partisan nonsense. Certain people on the right engage in this stuff as well. Both sides have their outspoken fringe lunatics who make outrageous statements. Responding to partisan nonsense with more partisan nonsense does absolutely nothing but add more fuel to the fire.
Finally, (and this goes for both sides) the tough guy crap really needs to stop. This is a message board. The story you are linking to even has a quote from Michael Moore saying that things should be dealt with "nonviolently". So acting like people are advocating violence, when they are really advocating political strategy is ridiculous. Anyone can be a tough guy on a message board. That's all I'm saying. Perhaps we should tone down the rhetoric instead of adding more fuel to this bull**** partisan fire. It's getting so incredibly old.
Ok, It is a fair point you make about Moore, and whom actually thinks he is little more than a clown. Probably why he appeared on Olberman's non viewed show to say it...However, Wasn't what we heard after Gifford was shot by the loon, that everyone needed to tone it down, yet we have example after example of libs doing just the opposite. I am not trying to be any kind of 'tough guy', rather just expressing that I am prepared.

I think the rhetoric should have been toned down a long time ago. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge. Partisan politics will always be a big point of contention between people. The problem is that it shouldn't take something like the Gifford shooting for people to want to tone it down.
First of all, it's not really fair to associate Moore with all libs.
But this is done all the time. No, it's not fair to paint an entire group of people based upon the statements of one but that's pretty much what many of the arguements are built on here.
Look at how many arguements start off........"Why do conservatives/liberals believe........."
Anyway.......I wonder if Moore was looking in the mirror when he said this?
We ARE seeing our democratic republic being choked into submission and on its way to a probably socialist dictatorship. Look at Obama's main themes.
1) Increase taxes on a portion of the population whose numbers are too small to influence election results.
2) Promise that seized wealth to a majority of the population, essentially bribing them to vote. It isn't a matter of the government needing money to perform essential functions, it is a give away to the lower income strata. He has stated outright that the lowest incomes will actuall get money they never paid!
3) The majority of those populations that will be swayed by the bribe are urban dwellers. Concentrated in those urban centers that would already be ruling the country were it not for the electoral college.
I'm just waiting to see the list of people Michael Moore plans to give his Millions to. I mean, since he thinks the rich should give their money to the poor, and he's rich, then he already has a plan for giving his money out, right? :roll:

It's the same as the whole idea of rich peopley saying that the rich should pay more. They're more than welcome to voluntarily donate more of their money to various causes. I'm not sure the IRS would refuse to accept an additional tax payment, either. Basically it's like saying, "Oh yeah, we think we should pay more...but we'll wait until you make us before we do anything about it."
Not sure what you mean here, but you do know that the those who donate money to charities get nice tax breaks, right? In fact, through tax shelters here in Canada, one can get more money back than what was originally donated.
I agree, and it hasn't that is the point...the only thing the Gifford shooting did was give libs reason to call for toning it down while they ramp it up.
