Excerpt from Michael Moore's new book "Dude, Where's My Country?"· "Mumia [the campaigning Pennsylvania journalist who was sentenced for the shooting of a police officer and has been on death row since 1982] probably killed that guy. There, I said it. That does not mean he should
be denied a fair trial or that he should be put to death. But because we
don't want to see him or anyone executed, the efforts to defend him may have overlooked the fact that he did indeed kill that cop. This takes nothing away from the eloquence of his writings or commentary, or the important place he now holds on the international political stage. But he probably did kill that guy."
So, despite the fact that Arnold Beverly has confessed to the killing of
Officer Faulkner, Moore finds that saying Mumia probably did it is a good way to win over conservatives when having a debate with them. (The excerpt came from a section of the book on how to deal with a conservative brother-in-law) This is typical of white liberals with their weak-ass non-positions on issues of importance. These days Michael Moore is busy promoting Wesley Clark for president, notwithstanding the fact that the man is a certified war criminal. But he's a Democrat, and friends with black people and Bill Clinton, whine the sorry-ass liberals who are desperate for someone they think stands a
chance against Bush. I heard similar rationalizations from people who were voting for Gore even though they felt Nader was a better candidate.
We all know what good that did, and these fools still think voting is gonna change something. If it did, it would be illegal. The struggle for freedom in this country and worldwide has no time for these people who are so scared of the system they won't take a real, strong stand against it. Michael Moore, Amy Goodman and all the other phony limousine liberals ain't no help to anyone but themselves.
