Michael Moore: Mainstream Democrat?

by John Hawkins | June 23, 2004 11:43 pm

Since prominent, mainstream Democrats like Tom Harkin[1], Terry McAuliffe, Tom Daschle, Barbara Boxer[2], & Paul Begala are all apparently either endorsing Michael Moore’s new film or are at least on the guest list to attend the premier, I think some important questions should be asked of them. I mean if they approve of this movie, if Moore is part of the “Democratic mainstream,” do they endorse some of Michael Moore’s other views?

For example, do mainstream Democrats have no problem with terrorist groups like Hezbollah[3]? Do they believe we know where Bin Laden[4] is and are allowing him to roam free deliberately? Do they believe Americans “are possibly the dumbest[5] people on the planet”? Do they think there is “no terrorist threat[6] in this country”?

You know what I’d truly love to watch? A press conference where they just read off Michael Moore quotes, one after the other, to prominent Democrats like Tom Harkin & Terry McAuliffe and then asked them “do you agree with that”? Then after they had to say “no,” oh let’s say 10 or 15 times in a row, I’d love to see someone ask them, “then why are you plugging his movie”? It would be a thing of beauty to watch….
