Spurlock's CAIR-Free Movie

Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 11:52:43 am PST

It’s amazing what leftist filmmakers can get away with: Morgan Spurlock: CAIR Free.

CAIR is fine with this:

One thing wrong with that statement (thanks for the quote, btw, jaunte):
he's basically telling us to be tolerant, never mind that we'll get killed for our tolerance in the end.

Another good war-cry for me is:
'Don't tolerate intolerance!'

#19 kuffarharbi 4/26/08 12:06:51 pm 7

A lot of people will love this film and really lap it up because it will reinforce and bolster their pre-existing hatred for Jews and America. It's a despicable piece of garbage and propaganda for the Michael Moore/Chomsky brigade who can only see what they believe. To sit in a cinema with such a braindead gormless audience is worse than painful as the preaching is done to the converted. But the worse thing is that this film will brainwash and convert more youth....you know, the ones wearing trendy keffiyehs.....into hatred of Israel and their own culture. This guy Spurlock is a criminal....treasonous and seditious....and someone should put him back in the paddock. Debbie Schlussel has a great review of this poison over at her site.

#20 Mr. E. Train 4/26/08 12:07:45 pm 1

Personally I hope he finds old Osama. Track the one to find and kill the other. Of course Osama is likely to shoot Spurlock, but tis a fine thing to give your life for you country.

Some of Morgan Spurlock's other work:
(wiki)

"He also created I Bet You Will for MTV. I Bet You Will began as a popular Internet webcast of five-minute episodes featuring ordinary people doing disgusting, unusual, or embarrassing stunts in exchange for money. Examples include eating a full jar of mayo ($235USD), eating a "worm burrito" ($265USD), and taking shots of corn oil, Pepto-Bismol, lemon juice, hot sauce, cold chicken broth, and cod liver oil ($450USD for all nine shots). The webcast was a success, with over a million hits in the first five days. The show was later bought and aired by MTV"
#31 Psaturn 4/26/08 12:21:36 pm 4

I thought Osama was running for President of USA?

Wait...

Never mind....

#32 Sharmuta 4/26/08 12:22:26 pm 2

More on the movie:

Since Spurlock wants to face danger head-on, he undergoes training to work in a hostile environment and obtains clearance from his pregnant wife to travel everywhere except in Iraq.

He goes to Egypt, Morocco, the Palestinian territories and Israel, where he is attacked by a group of ultra-Orthodox Jews. He visits bin Laden's homeland, Saudi Arabia, and asks shoppers in a luxurious mall if they know where he is.

Spurlock accompanies U.S. forces fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and talks with locals who say they just want an end to war. In the end, he goes to Pakistan, where he is stopped in his tracks by growing violence in the tribal regions.

Spurlock said he hopes audiences will see that people in the Middle East and Muslims share many of the same values as Westerners, a desire for democracy and better lives for their children.

"We do kind of live in our own world and don't look beyond our own borders," said Spurlock. "I think the greatest thing that could happen is that we embrace the idea of a world community a little bit more."

Dhimmi has a new name, and it's Morgan Spurlock.

Just watching the Avs/Red Wings game on NBC when they flashed the green peacock logo. My first thought was 'Since when is NBC such a big supporter of independence for Taiwan?'

Also, Morgan Spurlock and Micheal Moore make movies for stupid people to crow about how smart they are....

Actually, I think it was Soso Whaley, who went on a McDonald's-only diet for a month and lost weight. The difference being she tried everything on the menu and exercised for an hour three times a week, rather than choosing only the fattiest, highest-calorie items and be a couch potato. In other words, showing that Spurlock was intentionally misleading the viewer. And, naturally, spawning a whole new, and potentially huge income stream for tort lawyers.

Or, most probably, I was conflating the two of them.

re: #32 Sharmuta

Another catchphrase red flag from your link:
"As more and more people brought up the root causes that create an Osama bin Laden and radicals around the world, it becomes obvious that he is not that important," Spurlock told Reuters at the top U.S. film festival for independent movies.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Emperor Hugo will come to a bad end - and at the hands of his own countrymen.

The countdown will begin when his oil industry infrastructure starts seriously breaking down. Because he is skimming so much of the oil revenues, he is not maintaining anything. It WILL start breaking down, and soon.

Speaking of food, Venezuela's supplies are getting scarcer.

"Food shortages do, however, remain a key problem for Venezuelan consumers. According to a survey carried out by the newspaper El Nuevo Herald, 73% of respondents admitted having difficulties finding sugar, 52% had problems finding beef, and more than 45% were unable to find powdered milk and chicken."

Ya know, funny things happen when you're socialists... Of course its not their fault. When I lived in Chile, a place that is an absolute bread basket with the riches of the oceans at the feet, they told me of food rationing under Allende. They would divide towns and cities into seven parts and each house in each part would get a chicken once a week. As children they would get up at 3 and 4 in the morning to stand in line for hours to get a litre of cooking oil.

They won't - because it is never about meeting the needs of "the people", but satisfying the desire for "revenge" against those they percieve as having "wronged" them... basically anyone has as one dollar more than they do.

Obama has freely admitted as much when he argued for increasing capital gains taxes. He claimed it was about "fairness" rather than increasing revenues to the Treasury to pay for his lofty spending proposals.
