As if it wasn’t enough to sit through Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 fabrications (see Christopher Hitchens; see here also). Moore is investing in the evil stocks of companies he claims to oppose and vilify:
“I don’t own a single share of stock!” filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed.
He’s right. He doesn’t own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares — including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
If you want to see Moore’s own signed Schedule D declaring his capital gains and losses where his stock ownership is listed, it’s emblazoned on the cover of Peter Schweizer’s new book, “Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy.”
At today’s market close, Halliburton priced at $59.15/share (NYSE:HAL). So Moore owns $118,300.00. Eli Lilly priced at $51.10 (NYSE:LLY). That’s $153,300.00. Mere chump change, no? So much for practicing what you preach.

[...] So now Ramsey Clark (D) is defending Saddam. Is this what the Democratic Party now represents? Michael Moore, another radical and complete hypocrite, was an honored guest at the last Democratic National Convention. So Clark’s in good company, right? This former U.S. attorney general has advised people like David Koresh and has hung out with Muammar Gaddafi and Slobodan Milosevic. Clark doesn’t think the Butcher of Baghdad was all that bad of a fellow, after all. From NewsMax.com: Asked about an eyewitness account of the torture death of an Iraqi dissident who was eaten alive by dogs while Saddam watched, Clark told KTTH Seattle radio host Mike Siegel, “That’s the most absurd story I’ve heard in a long time.” [...]
