Michael Moore Leads March From AFL-CIO Meeting to Pittsburgh Theater for Movie Debut

WTAE: While it wasn't a rebellion, the crowd from inside the convention center spilled out onto Penn Avenue and marched to the Byham to see the film and to call for universal health care. The marchers didn't have a permit to occupy all of Penn Avenue, and police arrived to herd Moore and company back onto the sidewalk as they rounded the corner toward the Byham.

How rich are you Michael?

steve   September 15th, 2009 - 12:04 pm

Dude, you’re rich. Shut up.

steve   September 15th, 2009 - 12:05 pm

All of those people must be on their way to change a lightbulb or direct traffic.

Jerry Phillips   September 15th, 2009 - 12:12 pm

Here is a massive heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. He is a big fat rich elitist! I can’t wait for the day we can bury this pig.

Bubba   September 15th, 2009 - 12:13 pm

The marchers didn’t have a chance as the group got sidetracked by a donut shop.

Dee Long   September 15th, 2009 - 12:16 pm

Hey idiot, if you’re so against “Rich” people why are we not seeing you give away your millions? That would be the day you moron.

1977 — The Third Try at World Order is published. Author Harlan Cleveland of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies calls for:

“changing Americans’ attitudes and institutions” for “complete disarmament (except for international soldiers)” and “for individual entitlement to food, health and education.”

I have friend with the NRO who just told me a ‘non-peak’ satellite image of Saturday’s DC protest showed 860,000 ’souls on board’… just thought that was something interesting to share.

Switalla   September 15th, 2009 - 12:31 pm

Why did WTAE neglect to mention the free cheese and hot lunch boxes Moore dangled before his rent a mob, to induce these people to promote his movie?

The idiot in the movie clip: “There has got to be a rebellion between the people that have nothing and the people who have it all.” Sounds like a call for a communist uprising. Our Union is about to be tested.

Tamika   September 15th, 2009 - 12:52 pm

I will finally agree with you people. This man is such a slob and he is disgusting and just pure nasty. Hey rich wht fat dude shut up and if you care about the poor people then how about handing out some of your money to help the poor people? It looks like you eat pizza every day. You just gross. You nasty and gross.

kmichaels   September 15th, 2009 - 12:53 pm

1% HAVE ALL THE WEALTH?

A common claim but never backed up by facts and details.
What are we talking about? Saved or invested money?
The average US citizen spends most of their money has a
loan on their cars and homes and chooses not to invest
much unless their company is paying for a 401k.

So I can see how people that work hard and invest will
have more stored wealth than the vast majority
that choose not to invest and take out loans for cars,
refrigerators, large screen TVs etc.

However if you look at the standard of living in the USA
the average person has more luxury, more benefits
better health and medicines, more opportunity, more
entertainment options than did all of the kings
and queens and other royalty from 1900 on back.

Can I just laugh at this!!

Did he walk or ride his "HOVER-ROUND"?   September 15th, 2009 - 1:07 pm

Moore is SO FAT he breaks a sweat just THINKING about EATING AGAIN!

dee smith   September 15th, 2009 - 1:08 pm

if this is anything like sicko give me a break I think he is pumping up Castro enough. Me thinks he ate the book “rules for radicals” it went right to his brain. Using the minorities against majority or as Alinsky stated Have nots against the haves.

john   September 15th, 2009 - 1:30 pm

Moore is a canadian….

why doesn’t he movies about working people of canada???

we know why michael…

we know more than you think we do…

DDuke   September 15th, 2009 - 1:39 pm

From the AFL-CIO meeting to Cuba and Fidel’s commie paradise with any luck.

elder   September 15th, 2009 - 1:42 pm

I have to laugh at the AFL-CIO especially the union president. He gets on t.v. and says the health care bill will be good for competition i the health care field the the only reason his membership is still working is because we bailed them out. What kind of competition is that?
Moore is making a fortune by condeming capitalism and his fat a$$ is nothing but a capatilist. Wise up people this hollywood sleaze balls are making a fotune making movies that are intent on destroying America.

Derrylane   September 15th, 2009 - 1:43 pm

These people are so disgusting. To think we ever would believe their radical B.S. I am still in shock that this country voted for the most Radical man to be our President.

shane2813   September 15th, 2009 - 2:19 pm

MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same.

Travis   September 15th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Michael’s upset because he’s only in the top 5% of the richest people.

Eddie   September 15th, 2009 - 3:05 pm

Hey Unions! Don’t you have any shame at all? Letting a foreigner put his fat face on your stage and in your march!

Milli   September 15th, 2009 - 3:21 pm

Michael Moore reminds me of Osama Bin Laden. Osama says to the youth: “Go out and blow yourself up and you will have many virgins.” However, Osama wouldn’t blow himself up because he knows he’s telling a lie and the youth are stupid. Michael Moore spews his hate for capitalism, everyone pays big dollars to see his lies, he becomes rich because of capitalism; and like Osama he laughs all the way to the bank wondering how long the viewers of his movie will remain stupid. How long will you who watch his crap remain stupid????

mighty aphrodite   September 15th, 2009 - 3:34 pm

Dear Michael, Thank you for making another snarky film about the same ol’ thing – “I am a wealthy pig,” “I feel incredibly guilty,” “You mean you can actually LOSE money in an investment?” “The pool guy can’t come until tomorrow? What’s a whale to do?” Thanks for rounding up all the shiftless union thugs in one place – traffic for working people will be lessened. Could you come to San Diego and gather up our union thugs and illegal aliens in a central location? Say Tijuana?

kmichaels   September 15th, 2009 - 4:07 pm

Here, then, are 10 Lessons for Tea Baggers:

President Obama Cut Your Taxes
The Stimulus is Working
First Ronald Reagan Tripled the National Debt…
…Then George W. Bush Doubled It Again
Republican States Have the Worst Health Care
Medicare is a Government Program
Barack Obama is Not a Muslim
Barack Obama was Born in the United States
70,000 Does Not Equal 2,000,000
The Economy Almost Always Does Better Under Democrats

Notasheeple   September 15th, 2009 - 4:50 pm

What a Fascist Pig……. Send his fat ass to Cuba

TypicalWhtPerson   September 15th, 2009 - 5:05 pm

What a piece of crap this Micheal Moore is. He lectures people on how they can’t make it in America these days while he sits on his big fat a$$ and rakes in millions off of the same capitalist society he despises. I want to punch him in the face and then go throw up right now.

me   September 15th, 2009 - 5:05 pm

i can’t believe what i’m seeing in this country. we better take this serious or we’re going to wake up one day and not have the great country that our fathers bled and died for…

I’m a union member, teamster. from first hand experience the union is nothing but a blood sucking leach that sucks the life from the very company it seeks to extort. Then claims to stand for the workers. They only care about money in their pockets and the pockets of their bought and paid for politicians.

Nattylite   September 15th, 2009 - 6:24 pm

That fat turd needs to be flown over Afghanistan, kicked out of the plane with the same gear our brave men and women do. I doubt the parachute would survive. It could be called Operation Fat F****r. I’m sure a lot of the bad guys would die. From the massive impact or him actually surviving and opening his enormous piehole. He is almost as disgusting to look at as he is to listen to.

mcylinder   September 15th, 2009 - 7:58 pm

Ah! Michael Moore! The best case for unfettered access to abortion….ever!!!!

Jim L.   September 15th, 2009 - 9:23 pm

They gave this progressive wacko and the astroturf crowd at this march 2 minutes of coverage? How much coverage did they give to the 2 million people who descended on Washington on September 12th? While America does have a lot of wealth we are also the most generous nation on earth. When Michael Moore gives every last penny he has to the poor then maybe I will begin to listen to him. Otherwise, it is not worth the time. Does he realize his own hypocracy that he is one of the most wealthy persons on the face of the earth?

spinpsycho   September 15th, 2009 - 10:10 pm

Hey kmichaels – you forgot one – don’t drink the RED Koolaid. What a moron. This fat ass Michael Moore is the one of the richest examples of hypocrisy. Capitalism works well for him doesn’t it? Looked like that theater had plenty of empty seats.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   September 15th, 2009 - 10:43 pm

America…how appropriate…one blind Communist leading a “pack” of blind Communists!

Isn’t America great!

================================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES WHERE YOU WILL ALL BE GOING STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   September 15th, 2009 - 11:42 pm

TEST

Dayum Right   September 16th, 2009 - 12:23 am

If capitalism is so, so bad, then why doesn’t Fat Mikey show his movies for free? He could just distribute them over the internet, or pay the movie theatres to host it (just as long as they gave the pocorn away at cost as a public service).

Why doesn’t Fat Mikey do this? Because he is a hypocritical PIG. Only an AFL-CIO libtard could not see that this guy is a multi millionair who has gotten rich making movies about class warfare (can they not see the irony?). This is like charging $20.00 for a Che Guevara T-Shirt.

I think that I am gonna sneek in and videotape the movie and post it on YouTube for all the marxist, communists to watch for free.

Robert   September 16th, 2009 - 2:48 am

Capitalism: How moore made his millions.

Elaine   September 16th, 2009 - 10:30 am

Time to stop giving this moronic pig your money folks, then we wouldn’t have to be saddled with his idiocy anymore.

H2K   September 16th, 2009 - 10:48 am

Who was designated to wheel the oxygen tank behind Moore as he walked the 20 yards from the AFL-CIO meeting to the movie theater? Were there any candy left for the other movie goers?

Cousin   September 17th, 2009 - 1:36 am

From my experience of walking Pennn ave as a past Local Union President this so called crowd appears to be no more than a crowded sidewalk at lunch time. My, how the AFL-CIO has shrunk in membership. Looks like all those industries along with the middle class jobs they provided had a monumental impact when they went to China. One could have understanding of the anger that one feels with regards to that. That being said, nothing should ever be more important than God and country, not even the Union.

alextron   September 19th, 2009 - 3:35 am

The thing is filmmakers don’t contribue to the economy that much and this guy doesn’t contribute hardly anything. He hardly has any crew and tapes things off a television. If he wanted to prove how bad capitalism is supposed to be he would have to show himself in his big house and how much money he earned off of cheap films about dead kids and soldiers. What a creep.

bigScrotum   September 22nd, 2009 - 6:42 pm

Go michael. Makes the tea-bagger rally folk look like pathetic ignorant whiners.
