Miachel Moore came to town today... (Lots of pix inside)

Miachel Moore came to my local college today on the second stop on his national tour. This has probably been the biggest thing to happen to our town in a while, so there were a lot more people than I suspected.

A good lot of them were Bush supporters:

There were WAYYY more there than I have pictured, I was in a long line, so I couldn't break to take more.

Silly old women

Silly middle-aged men...

Nice sign, you claude. Only a fool would run on their own ineptitude, and only a bigger fool would support the forementioned... silly redneck.

All of the above make up the large population of my community

Plenty of security forces were present, this guy looked the most badass, even moreso than I do when posing for pictures. I think it's the shades and stoney look on his face. There were a LOT of police present, also, no bags were allowed. Moore must be in fear of his well being these days... how sad.

That was one of the signs over the many voter registration tables that dotted the area. New life has been breathed into my local Democratic party.

While inside, I met a lot of cool libbies. Some young, some old, as pictured. She was pretty nice, we had a pretty lengthy discussion about how the Republicans have managed to capture the votes of the people they hurt most by tugging their moral strings by exploiting the gay issue and religon. There were a lot of hot college chicks in there too! I can't wait to meet some of them this weekend :D Oh yeah, damn it was hot as hell! There was no AC (as it was in the gymnasium part of the complex...) I was sweating like CRAZY! So was everyone else...

Then the man of the day came out, and the presentation started... I couldn't get too many good pics, as I didn't wanna make a scene outta myself, so the two that I have are outta focus, bleh.

Anyway, he started out by saying, geez it's 2 in the afternoon! Don't you people have school to go to!?
The croud let out a roaring, "HELL NO!"

Don't you have jobs? "Hell NO!"
Then I yell out "Pft, there's a Bush in the White House, there are no jobs!"

Then he chuckled and said a joke about them all going to Mexico or whatever, good stuff. Hehe, I was one fo the most vocal people there. But, I had pretty good timing. :D

Okay, now here's where the part that makes the day comes in. After showing off some funny read VERY FUNNY ads that he will submit to the Republican party later this week (and hopefully on the net by then too) he took questions!

I wanted to get called on, so so bad. Luckly, I was smack dab in the middle, and wearing a bright yellow shirt. So he noticed me pretty quick.

Moore: You, right there!
Me: Me?
Moore: Yes, you!
Me: :O OMG! Okay, uh, how do you think a person like me, or any young liberal for that matter, could one day be in a position like Bill O'Riley, where we are influential in the media, and people actually LISTEN to us!?
Moore: well..
Me: OH WAIT! Can you sign my copy of Bowling for Columbine!?
Moore: Why sure!
Me: HOLY!!!!
In my disbelief I sat down...
Moore: STAND BACK UP! Why did you sit down!? Get your DVD signed!
Me: ???
Moore: Wait! One of the aides is comming, give it to him so he can give it to me!
Me: w00t!

After that, the crowd grew into a frenzy!

Croud: I WANT MINE SIGNED
Moore: I can't, sorry!

This went on for five mins, untill they settled down and questions resumed. Some people were pissed, some laughed, my friend, well HE FORGOT TO TAKE PICS OF IT!!! GEEZ!
He was like "Only a person like you would have the balls to do something as stupid as that..."

Me: :D

It was funny to see all the poor saps wanting their shit signed. Silly liberals. I am still on the fence as to wether or not to put this on eBay or not. I think I will hold onto it. It may be like that picture of Kennedy and Clinton someday!

Damn, what a day! I hope to meet up with him in person next time, to shake his hand or something.

That's pretty amazing. And don't ebay it off, man, this stuff is worth keeping more than a few bucks.
 
Naw, we all saw him sign it. Also, I forgot to mention that he never got around to answering my question :p The only thing the assistant did was tear off the celophane wrapper. I just bought that at a Sam Goodie. That's why it took them some time to get it back to me.

Jesus. It makes it really hard to dislike Bush and support the opposition when all the people that do that are just 100% intolerant SOBs.

Agreed. Most people who spend time protesting like that dont have anything to do for a reason. You should see the dirty hippies that protest outside the base I work at. Its not like they are converting anyone, I dont even support bush but when I see those morons I naturally gravitate towards his side.

I'm not sure you understood what I was getting at, or maybe I don't get your point. Anywho...

It's more about, if I'm not for Bush, does that mean I have to be associated with the idiots who just run around making blind and offensive generalizations about Bush supporters? I'm just so sick of this 'use ignorance and intolerance to combat ignorance and intolerance' crap that's used by both sides of the spectrum. The whole 'I'm anti-Bush and everyone who's not with me is a freakin' retard' crap, as the thread starter seems to indicate. "Oh no, he's for Bush, must be a silly middle-aged redneck!" These are the kinds of people who hated Bush's "you're either with us or against us" ploy in the war on terror, but then they use the same damn shit when it comes to the election.

Why the hell can't people just be civil and intelligent? All the rest of this shit is just counterproductive and terrible for the country.

Well, at least in regards to this thread, this is ikenna we're talking about here :p

I just wanted to take a shot at the damn dirty hippies. :) Both sides have their share of mindless sheep who just regurgitate the same meaningless garbage and push the people in the middle further to the opposite side of them.
 
I've sorta got a signed Moore book. He spoke at Ball State last year, and I went with a friend and a college librarian. Due to her connections, I guess, she ended up with a couple backstage passes, so they went back to get their books signed and engage in chitchat without waiting in line. This left me sitting alone in a lobby for a half hour or so. To make up for it my friend ended up giving me his book, though he's been borrowing it for most of that time since I read it pretty quickly and he's never quite gotten around to it.

I didn't notice any type of protest, but things were a bit different, what with a presidential election not being a few weeks away, and him not having yet released his $100+m movie.

What town do you live in?
I'm no Stallion, but checking michaelmoore.com I find
FIRST WEEK OF MICHAEL MOORE'S 'SLACKER UPRISING TOUR' IS ANNOUNCED
Tonight, September 27th - Ferris State University, Wink Arena - Big Rapids, Michigan
&
Central Michigan University, Rose Arena - Mt. Pleasant, Michigan

I deduce Mt. Pleasant.


EDIT: I re-deduce Big Rapids. Looking on the site more he mentions a stop the previous night, and "Big Rapids, Michigan, which actually isn't that big".
 
Uh, he's at Mt. Pleasent right now. In fact, my bro is there at the mo. He's going to try and get me an autograph... he doesn't know I already have one! :p

I live in one of the fattest states in the Union. Such is to be expected. Oh yeah, one of the funnier parts of the show was the mock commercials...

What did Kerry do when he was fired upon in Vietnam?

He DUCKED!!!

A real patriot would have taken the bullet and died for his country!

Vote Bush!
 
Well, if you're referring to the first part, look up satire.

The second part has to do with the week-long "L" I just got out of for defending you against a certain someone who likes to post your PMs in public.

Oh, by the first part I thought you were being sarcastic, maybe you still are :p I know what satire means :p

Also, you got banned for getting that dude banned. Sweet. Thanks mang.

Speaking of satire, I recently got a perfect score on a fable I recently wrote. I should post it when I get it back...
