  • Elite Liberal Hypocrites

    Michael Moore Caught!

    A new book by a top investigative journalist exposes the blatant hypocrisy of liberals who loudly espouse principles they disregard in their own personal lives.

    In "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy," Hoover Fellow Peter Schweizer reveals the glaring contradictions between the public stances and real-life behavior of prominent liberals including Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, Al Franken, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Ralph Nader – among others.

    NewsMax has a free offer for this new book – Go Here Now.

    "Hypocrisy has proved to be a wonderful weapon for liberals in their war against conservatives," Schweizer writes in the November issue of NewsMax Magazine.

    "Yet for all the talk about conservative hypocrisy, there has been very little investigation into the prevalence of hypocrisy on the left."

    After two years of research into liberal hypocrisy, Schweizer said, "what I discovered was just stunning."

    Schweizer's well-annotated book, published by Doubleday, has just been released and its sure to turn several well-known liberals red with anger.

    Among the eye-opening revelations of "Do As I Say":

    Filmmaker Michael Moore insists that corporations are evil and claims he doesn't invest in the stock market due to moral principle. But Moore's IRS forms, viewed by Schweizer, show that over the past five years he has owned shares in such corporate giants as Halliburton, Merck, Pfizer, Sunoco, Tenet Healthcare, Ford, General Electric and McDonald's.
    Â
    Staunch union supporter Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farmworkers Union. But the $25 million Northern California vineyard she and her husband own is a non-union shop.
    The hypocrisy doesn't end there. Pelosi has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress in recent election cycles.

    But the Pelosis own a large stake in an exclusive hotel in Rutherford, Calif. It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Schweizer, author of "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty" and a regular contributor to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other periodicals.

    The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees. The chain is – that's right, a non-union shop. Â

    Ralph Nader is another liberal who claims that unions are essential to protect worker rights. But when an editor of one of his publications tried to form a union to ameliorate miserable working conditions, the editor was fired and the locks changed on the office door.
    Â
    Self-described socialist Noam Chomsky has described the Pentagon as "the most vile institution on the face of the earth" and lashed out against tax havens and trusts that benefit only the rich.
    But Chomsky has been paid millions of dollars by the Pentagon over the last 40 years, and he used a venerable law firm to set up his irrevocable trust to shield his assets from the IRS. Â

    Air America radio host Al Franken says conservatives are racist because they lack diversity and oppose affirmative action. But fewer than 1 percent of the people he has hired over the past 15 years have been African-American.
    Â
    Ted Kennedy has fought for the estate tax and spoken out against tax shelters. But he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private foundations that have shielded most of his family's fortune from the IRS.

    One Kennedy family trust wasn't even set up in the U.S., but in Fiji.
    Another family member, environmentalist Robert Kennedy Jr., has said that it is not moral to profit from natural resources. But he receives an annual check from the family's large holdings in the oil industry. Â

    Barbra Streisand has talked about the necessity of unions to protect a "living wage." But she prefers to do her filming and postproduction work in Canada, where she can pay less than American union wages.
    Â
    Bill and Hillary Clinton have spoken in favor of the estate tax, and in 2000 Bill vetoed a bill seeking to end it. But the Clintons have set up a contract trust that allows them to substantially reduce the amount of inheritance tax their estate will pay when they die.
    Hillary, for her part, has written and spoken extensively about the right of children to make major decisions regarding their own lives, including having abortions without parental notification.

    But she barred 13-year-old daughter Chelsea from getting her ears pierced and forbid the teen from watching MTV or HBO.
    Â

    Billionaire Bush-basher George Soros says the wealthy should pay higher, more progressive tax rates. But he holds the bulk of his money in tax-free overseas accounts in Curacao, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
    Schweizer writes: "Liberals claim to support affirmative action but don't practice it. They support higher taxes but set up complicated tax shelters to avoid paying them. They claim to be ardent environmentalists but abandon their cause when it impinges on their own property rights.

    "The reality is that liberals like to preach in moral platitudes. They like to condemn ordinary Americans and Republicans for a whole host of things - racism, lack of concern for the poor, polluting the environment, and greed.

    "But when it comes to applying those same standards to themselves, liberals are found to be shockingly guilty of hypocrisy.

    "The media and the American people need to hold them accountable."


    Michael Moore caught as a big, fat capitalist. His foundation has held stocks in major defense companies. (Pictured: tax return for Moore's foundation)

      I don't think it's very controversial or special that those libbies are caught with their pants down...I think it's worse to see what they as a whole are doing to us...we're gonna end up like France.

        "Yet for all the talk about conservative hypocrisy, there has been very little investigation into the prevalence of hypocrisy on the left."
        LOL... what world does this guy live in?

        And what's with all this 'elite' bullshit lately? I have just as many problems with democrats as the next guy, but those are based on, you know, thinking about them. I would never argue, "Liberals are smart and I'm stupid, therefore liberals are evil!"

        Most importantly, what is the point of this book? So a lot of politicians and celebrities are hypocrites. That doesn't make them wrong. They're wrong for entirely different reasons. This seems equivalent to a liberal book about how all conservatives are secretly gay.

        I think it's worse to see what they as a whole are doing to us...we're gonna end up like France.
        Are you serious? When you look at what the U.S. is doing today, do you really say to yourself, "We're becoming more and more like France"?

          It is controversial because it goes against ALL of their political positions. The libs cry about halliburton and that fat peice of america hating sh it owns the stock! Another crys about racism and he employs 125 guys of which ONE is black! These people are a bigger threat to society then alqueda. At least we know where alqueda stands. I still don't know KErry's position on the war or what he would have done different. Oh, he would have gotten permission from france. What a joke.

          Republicans being gay is based on hmmmm nothing. What is printed in this book are actual researched facts, something dems no little about. Oh wait it was a fact that Cliton(thats my pet name for the bum) got a blow job from a fat ugly intern. Then lied about it under oath. Who was then stripped of his right to practice law.

          Who is the big liar again? I love when the clueless say Bush. He will go down as a great leader who brought democracy to a bunch of animals. Everyone hated Reagan now he is revered. Time for you clueless Hollywood libs to wake up. We are at war! And we will win. And our republican leader could give a flying sh it what the world thinks about it!

          Go George Bush! ! !

            As ridiculous as it is to try to have a serious political conversation with you, mortal, I'm going to take a stab at it, for entertainment purposes only:

            These people are a bigger threat to society then alqueda. At least we know where alqueda stands.
            I want you to just think about that for a little bit.

            Republicans being gay is based on hmmmm nothing.
            I'm sure I could write a book referencing a handful of openly gay Republicans and turning it into a critique of the entire Republican party and philosophy. My point is, it would matter exactly as much as this book. That is, not at all. I mean, come on. Barbra Streisand?

            Who is the big liar again? I love when the clueless say Bush.
            Well, he's not the big liar, he's only one big liar. There are quite a few of them out there, you know. If this mess in Iraq works out, and that remains to be seen, he'll at best go down as a President who very sloppily brought democracy to a bunch of people who didn't ask for it, under false pretenses, at great expense to Americans.

            We are at war! And we will win.
            Funny... I seem to recall Bush declaring victory a few years ago...

              I don't think Bush has the balls to run the war. He's basically run it into the ground by not pushing it farther than it is.

                A handful of openly gay repubs doesn't negate the fact that Michael (hero of the left)moore OWNS HALLIBURTON! That one fact alone speaks volumes.

                " Well, he's not the big liar, he's only one big liar. There are quite a few of them out there, you know. If this mess in Iraq works out, and that remains to be seen, he'll at best go down as a President who very sloppily brought democracy to a bunch of people who didn't ask for it, under false pretenses, at great expense to Americans."

                THere is no proof that George Bush lied. Everyone voted to give him the power to go to war based on the same faulty intellgince he recievd. Libs and dems never mention all the UN(what a joke of an institution) resolutions he violated. We beat him in a war and he was shooting at our planes in the no fly zone. For that alone we had to go. He wasn't letting inspetcors in. If that is what it took for him to let us check then I blame the whole thing on him and his defiance. The UN is a waste of time and effort. Did you notice Libya is on the human rights commision? LOLOL

                We officially won the war a few years ago. These are scattered terrorist attacks. We ONLY LOST 2000 THAT IS NOT A LOT. No matter what the liberal media tells you. We WON the war and put in a new somewhat democracy friednly government. It takes losses to win a war. We expected to lose that many in afganistan.

                  My thoughts exactly. Like my grandaddy used to say, "If it's worth doin, it's worth doin right." Not that I think it was worth doing.

                  Everytime I notice the parallels in thought between our citzens and theirs.
                  I think it's true that a lot of democrats think in those terms, which is annoying as hell. But my point is, since they're not very powerful right now, the country isn't moving in that direction. It seems to be moving in a different but equally disturbing one.

                    Received and pimped-the-hell-out-of, despite conflicting reports. He may or may not have been openly lying about it, but it doesn't matter in my mind. He was wrong and he's responsible for it.

                    I agree that the UN is a joke. I also think we need their help if we're going to fight terrorism effectively. I'm surprised that Bush disagrees, considering that he's more than willing to buddy up to Saudi Arabia, with its fantastic human rights record.

                    We officially won the war a few years ago. These are scattered terrorist attacks. We ONLY LOST 2000 THAT IS NOT A LOT. No matter what the liberal media tells you.

                    You can't say "We are at war! And we will win", and then say, "We WON the war". I mean, you can, but you're not making any sense. The point remains that we're still losing troops, with no end in sight. You're right that 2000 is not a lot in the context of most wars, but that's a lot of lives to spend eliminating a threat that never existed, not to mention a lot to spend for crappy planning.

                      We won the war in Iraq. We are still fighting the war on terror.

                      Sadaam might not seem like a threat. But he did want weapons to destroy us. If he got his hands on those weapons I belive he would use them on our city's. We cant afford to take that risk in the nuclear age. He might have had the weapons before we went in and shipped them off to another country. Think about it all he had to do was let the weapons inspectors in to see he had nothing and he woulld still be running his torture chambers. Instead he defyed everyone becasue he knew the UN would never do anything about it. He didn't think the US would do a preemptive strike. We called his bluff and now he is going to hang.

                      Also I don't think the war wasn't well planned. We took the country over pretty darn quick. These are gorilla attacks to sway public opinion about the war. And the liberal media and the libs are buying it hook line and sinker.


                      The UN IS A BUNCH of terrorists and terrorist sympathisers. How are they going to help? They won't lift a finger about any subject. They passed all those resolution threatening war and when he didn't comply one iota they sat on there hands. They refuse to acknowledge the war on terror that was started on 9-11 when 3000 people went to work and were slaughtered.

                        When I do the 'quote' thing it just takes up too much space, so I'm just going to italicize your posts:

                        Sadaam might not seem like a threat. But he did want weapons to destroy us.
                        We can't possibly declare war on everyone who wants to destroy us. We have the strongest military in the world, but it's not that strong. We have to focus on defending ourselves from the most immediate and real threats, and Saddam was not one of them.

                        He might have had the weapons before we went in and shipped them off to another country.
                        What would he possibly have to gain by amassing weapons and giving them to another dictator? I hear conservatives bring up this possibility all the time, but it lacks a motive.

                        Think about it all he had to do was let the weapons inspectors in to see he had nothing and he woulld still be running his torture chambers. Instead he defyed everyone becasue he knew the UN would never do anything about it. He didn't think the US would do a preemptive strike. We called his bluff and now he is going to hang.
                        True. So the end result is that we proved some asshole wrong. Is that worth 2000+ soldiers and billions of dollars?

                        Also I don't think the war wasn't well planned. We took the country over pretty darn quick.
                        No, we got rid of the existing government pretty darn quick. It took a while after that to establish a government, and we still can't secure it to the point where I would say it has been truly "taken over". True ownership will have been decided when the insurgency is over.

                        These are gorilla attacks to sway public opinion about the war. And the liberal media and the libs are buying it hook line and sinker.
                        Well, they're happening, aren't they? Regardless of the motive behind the attacks, the fact is they're real and we're really losing soldiers over there every day. Again, you seem more concerned with proving people right or wrong than with the realities of the situation.

                        The UN IS A BUNCH of terrorists and terrorist sympathisers.
                        So is Saudi Arabia. How they can help is simple. Large-scale wars and battles (like Iraq) are not going to do much against what are essentially fanatical criminal organizations. The real war on terror is about intelligence, and the countries most likely to have the intelligence we want are the ones with links to terrorism. Think of us as the FBI and them as rats in the mob. The idea that they could have nothing to offer because of who they are is called the genetic fallacy.

                          Both sides are pretty putrid right now. The dems and far libs can't get the foot far enough out of their mouths to say anything worth listening to and the right lies more than paris gets rammed.

                              Quick synopsis of the article:

                              - Democrats prepare to launch probe into whether or not intelligence was manipulated to drum up support for the war.
                              - GW says No, it wasn't!
                              - GW elaborates, You're being unpatriotic and hurting the troops by suggesting otherwise! In fact you're trying to REWRITE HISTORY!
                              - GW then says, Shh! Look over there! At SYRIA!
                              - "[Syria] must stop exporting violence and start importing democracy." Democracies around the world say No comment!
                              - "Difficult missions are still to come and we cannot know every turn that lies ahead," he said. "Yet we can be certain that by the resolve of our country, by the rightness of our cause...we will prevail." It's hard work!

                              The end.
