The Conservative Zone

Here you go. Flint, Mich. Paper Slams Michael Moore's Hypocrisy.

Here's the salient points:

But Moore does his film production in Canada to avoid paying union scale and threatened to fire half of his TV show's writing staff when they wanted to join a union, reviewer David Forsmark reports after reading Schweizer’s book.

"He's a proponent of affirmative action but never has hired a black person to do anything important on one of his projects.

"Moore claims he owns no stock and only puts 'what little I can' in 'something the old-timers call a savings account' - yet Schweizer writes that he owns stock in defense contractors and Halliburton.

"Moore says he gives away 40 percent of his money, but Schweizer reports that his tax returns show his foundations give the minimum necessary to stay tax exempt."

In other words, Moore talks the talk but fails miserably in walking the walk. It's quite disappointing, really. Here is a champion of the Liberal Left, a documented distorter of facts, who doesn't mind using editing techniques (in Canada, no less) to make people say what he wants them to say, when in truth what they said was distorted and taken way out of context.

"Could the reason Streisand, Franken and Moore advocate for affirmative action be because they know from looking at themselves that it is necessary?" reviewer Forsmark concludes.

"After all, if these bitter enemies of racism and sexism can't be trusted to hire a diverse group of people, what hope can there be for corporate America to do so?

"Perhaps Moore rails against globalization because he knows first-hand about the insidious lure of cheap, foreign scab labor."

I agree. Because the Left engages in racist tokenism, glass ceilings, elitism, et. al., then everybody else must be doing it as well! The true hypocrisy of the Left is they accuse Conservatives of doing what the Left is guilty of doing.

Sheesh.
