Can Even Michael Moore Actually Believe This
Can Even Michael Moore Actually Believe This?: Oh how the left loves Michael Moore. Heck, even I’ll admit that he’s witty and talented (I can hear my readers gnashing their teeth) even though I think he’s egregiously wrong on just about everything that matters. But, I have to ask, can even the lefties who love him continue to defend him when he’s saying things that you almost have to have a mental disorder to believe (and yes, I mean that)? Just look at what he had to say in an interview with Bob Costas on Friday…
“During the pre-taped interview, Moore asked Costas: “What happened to the search for Osama bin Laden?”
Costas naively suggested: “Obviously they’re pursuing Osama bin Laden as we speak.”
Moore challenged the premise: “Really, you believe that?”
Costas: “Yes.”
Moore: “You do believe that?”
Costas: “Sure. And if they could find him, and perhaps they eventually will, they’d be gratified by that.”
Moore: “You don’t think they know where he is?”
Costas, clearly astonished as Moore’s paranoid thinking: “You think they know where Osama bin Laden is and it’s hands off?”
Moore: “Absolutely, absolutely.”
Costas: “Why?”
Moore: “Because he’s funded by their friends in Saudi Arabia! He’s back living with his sponsors, his benefactors. Do you think that Osama bin Laden planned 9-11 from a cave in Afghanistan? I can’t get a cell signal from here to Queens, alright, I mean, come on. Let’s get real about this. The guy has been on dialysis for two years. He’s got failing kidneys. He wasn’t in a cave in Afghanistan playing-”
Costas jumped in: “You think he’s in Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan, not Pakistan.”
Moore: “Well, could be Pakistan, but he’s under watch of those who have said put a stop to this because-”
Costas tried to nail him down on culpability: “Including, at least by extension, the United States, he’s under the protective watch of the United States?”
Moore confirmed: “I think the United States, I think our government knows where he is and I don’t think we’re going to be capturing him or killing him any time soon.”
I’m sorry, but that goes way beyond any ideological differences into wearing a tinfoil hat on your head, ripping out your own fillings with pliers so the CIA can’t send radio signals through them, crazy as a football bat, raving moonbat territory. For most people, saying something this bizarre would mean no one, friend or foe, would take them seriously again. But, will this even hurt Mikey’s popularity on the left? Somehow, I doubt it…
