MOORE & GOEBBELS, PEAS IN A POD

Michael Moore is the spiritual heir of Joseph Goebbels. Let’s think about this. Goebbels supported the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, which among other things deprived German Jews of the right to own firearms. In his film Bowling for Columbine Moore calls for tough gun control laws in America, taking guns out of the hands of law abiding Americans. Goebbels used his talent for showmanship to make mass murderer and warmonger Adolf Hitler look like a wise and benevolent leader. In his film Sicko Moore used his talent for showmanship to make mass murderer and warmonger Fidel Castro look like a wise and benevolent leader. Goebbels was the brains behind the film The Eternal Jew, which fed the Nazi lie that Jews were somehow inferior and responsible for all of society’s ills. Moore’s film Fahrenheit 911 fed the liberal lie that Republicans and President Bush in particular are all idiots and are somehow responsible for all of society’s ills.

Both men were skilled propagandists who used their god-given gifts not in a positive way, but rather to distort the truth in pursuit of a perverted morality. History has judged Goebbels, it will judge Moore.
