Moore and Hezbollah, Soul-Mates

Clifford May does a great job of highlighting the ideological affinities and business connections between Michael Moore and Hezbollah, one of the world’s most feared terrorist groups. Hezbollah is actively promoting Moore’s film Fahrenheit 9/11 in Lebanon, and Moore’s Middle Eastern representative finds the connection a natural one:

Having the support of such an entity in Lebanon is quite significant for that market and not at all controversial. I think it’s quite natural.

Well, it is natural. Moore agrees with the terrorists’ worldview and, I think it’s fair to say, shares their principal objective, the destruction of the United States. Of the following quotations, two are by Michael Moore, and one is by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Guess which is which:

The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.

This is the war of a despotic, arrogant, and cruel country against the nations of the world.

[T]he U.S. “is known for bringing sadness and misery to places around the globe.
