Michael Moore is a douche thread

[Sparta]

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore is threatening to organize a boycott of Connecticut in response to Sen. Joseph Lieberman's opposition to key parts of federal health care legislation.



Moore tells The Associated Press he will launch the boycott if Lieberman continues to block the bill and residents fail to pressure him to change his mind. He called for residents to hold rallies and flood Lieberman's office with phone calls and e-mails.



Moore says he will organize millions to boycott Connecticut businesses that have supported Lieberman.



Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, has threatened to join Republicans in blocking health care overhaul over government-run insurance and an expansion of Medicare.



Telephone messages were left Thursday with a Lieberman spokeswoman.

This is too far, a boycott on business for their support is bullying, plain and simple. A boycott would effect not only the targeted business, but also any business which works with them which of course is the point.



We can't all afford to do business based on political beliefs, because unlike Moore, we haven't all figured out how to profit from our beliefs.

I agree!

I charge my republican clients more money, why would I abandon that?

I completely agree Moore is a douchebag. Doesn't mean I don't agree with most of his points. But this one seems pretty... misguided, to put it nicely.

Well you got the tea baggers and then the douche baggers.

When you put it that way, better to be a revolutionary movement named after a cleansing agent than a scrotum fetish.

Given Moore's "portly" appearance, I was going to suggest "brown baggers" in hopes of avoiding your witty response
