Fascinating.
This guy, Jim Kenefick, is a rightwinger who runs an anti-michael moore website, dedicated to shredding and attacking Michael Moore.
This wingnut attacks Moore on his new Healthcare movie. Meanwhile, the wingnut's wife is sick, and they can't afford their own medical premiums. He even posts pleas on his website, asking for money to take care of his sick wife.
Michael Moore gives the guy an anonoymous donation of 12 thousand dollars, which pays for the wifes insurance premiums. The guy evidently even uses some of moore's donation to keep his anti-moore website up and running.
And after Michael Moore donates money to his wife, the guy still gives an interview, calling Moore dishonest and deceitful.
Can you feel the rightwing love?
Poor No Moore
When the founder of the Web’s most popular anti-Michael Moore Web site ran into financial trouble because of medical bills, a very unlikely guardian angel came to the rescue - Michael Moore.

damn they even look alike.
Great bit of thinking by Moore, he gets to help a couple of people and make a point at the same time.
Smart guy.
It is an interesting and very smart move by Moore.
I'm actually looking forward to this new flick. Was before this. This actually turned me off a bit, but it will stick with his fans.
He thanks M. Moore quite a few times on his site, but says, "I still don't like your style."
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Really says a lot, I think, about on which side of the spectrum Jesus would sit.
Would Jesus lambaste an opponent or would Jesus lend a caring hand to his enemy?
Or at least see a therapist about why they are mired in a mindset which prevents them from moving on in life.
actually, Cawacko, I should correct that. I'm actually calling this guy an asshole.
He makes a career out of shredding Michael Moore and Moore's universal healthcare ideas. But, then when he runs out of money to pay for his wife's healthcare, he goes on his website begging people for money. Then, when Michael Moore pays for his wife's healthcare, the dude still gives an interview to a national magazine calling Moore deceitful and dishonest. Sure, he thanked Moore. But, he still calls Moore deceitful and dishonest.
Its' fine if he disagress with Moore. I've got no problem with that. But, If somebody bailed his wife out, I would think he could use less inflammatory words than deceitful and dishonest to describe your saviour . Don't you think he could have just he disagrees with Moore, and that Moore isn't presenting the whole picture - rather than calling Moore "deceitful" and "dishonest"?
Michael Moore is actually a conservative...draining the libs money belt...uh dudes and dudettes he is a friend of Mel Gibson,a card carrying member of the NRA....soo he was not offended by this blog...as he also is in line with the comments...he just helped out a political friend...lol
It is certainly ironic that a chap who campaigns against universal healthcare has to beg on his website to fund the medical needs of his wife.
Talk about your politics coming back to bite you on the arse...
