Is Michael Moores illegal trip to Cuba just another personality flaw of crazy liberals?
ludistreber asked:
Appearing to bestow on him the kind of free publicity that has made Michael Moore the best-known and best paid documentary filmmaker in the business, the U.S. Treasury Department has notified the filmmaker that it is conducting an investigation to determine whether he violated the U.S. trade embargo when he took a group of 9/11 rescue workers to Cuba for treatment. The Cuba journey is included in Moore’s upcoming documentary about the U.S. health-care system, Sicko, due to debut at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19. According to the Associated Press the government notice said that the Treasury Department had “no record that a specific license was issued authorizing you to engage in travel-related transactions involving Cuba.” The A.P. said that after receiving the notice, Moore placed a copy of his film in a “safe house” outside the country. Meanwhile, Daily Variety reported today (Thursday) that The Weinstein Co., which is releasing the film had hired Chris Lehane, Al Gore’s press secretary during the 2000 campaign, and New York publicist Ken Sunshine to handle the expected flak from the health-care industry over the film. “If the HMOs strike, I’m going to need two guys who can strike back,” Harvey Weinstein told Variety.

well, At least he did not lie to the whole nation and say he was giving everyone tax breaks and then only gave them to the people who have children or are married. HE NEVER GAVE ANY TAX BREAKS TO THE SINGLE PEOPLE WHO PAY THE MOST TAXES OF THEM ALL !
don’t generalize, we’re not all nuts
but his work is great work, just he’s crazy
What am i talking about, generalizations are a necessary characteristic of conservatives.
Its not your fault you are ignorant.
I think he needs a vacation at the guantanamo golf club and resort!!!
yeah… that bastard… taking 9/11 workers to get treatment…
the nerve…
So it bothers you more that he’s going to Cuba than the health care problem in the nation? That’s just sick…
I’m all for him going to Cuba… as long as they keep him. We had to keep all of their throw aways.
He’s just what a lib is…..a traitor to his country…{sorry Gary F)
So let me get this straight…
The guy is protesting an two tier health care system… not really immoral to me, but ok.
And he went to Cuba. It was against the law.. but should it be? Do you really think a Caribbean Island with a population of like a little over 10 million poses any threat to the USA? Probably the other way around. What business is it of America anyways?
This guy has done nothing wrong in my opinion.
Only if sedition is a personality flaw.
I’m so freakin’ tired of all these questions where we call each other “traitors” or “treasonists” or “crazy” or whatever. Both sides are guilty of it and it doesn’t accomplish anything.
What does this question about a “personality flaw” have to do with the actual issue? I mean, what the hell? Fine, if you don’t like Michael Moore. So what? Do you have an actual question that has something to do with him and the whole Cuba issue?
He hasn’t even been charged with anything, to date. They haven’t even started investigating the issue. Why not wait until you hear all sides of the story before you start calling people “crazy”.
he should stay there we should help the pole cat stay there
