Moore threatens Conn. boycott

New Haven (AP) – Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore is threatening a boycott of Connecticut in response to Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s opposition to key parts of health care legislation.
Moore tells The Associated Press he will launch the boycott if Lieberman continues to block the bill and residents of the state fail to pressure him to change his mind. He called for residents to hold rallies and flood Lieberman’s office with phone calls and e-mails.
Moore says he will organize millions to boycott Connecticut businesses that have supported Lieberman or blocked health care reform.
Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, threatened to join Republicans in blocking health care overhaul over government-run insurance and an expansion of Medicare.
Telephone messages were left Thursday with a spokeswoman for Lieberman.

If everyone one in Hollywood boycotts CT products and everyone in CT boycotts Hollywood products who's the bigger economic loser?
What a phony...when he was in CUBA doing the movie on healthcare, on his way to a "staged" event by the CUBAN government at a hospital THERE he drives past 2 prisons holding hundreds of political prisoners, did he "critize" that???? LOL...RIGHT......
How do you spell HYPOCRITE ???
MICHAEL MOORE.............
There is no difference between Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh, Mary Rakovich and Rick Santelli. Limbaugh attempts to rally his troops to protest all the time. Focus on the family rallies its "troops" to protest any company that supports abortion.
So, what's the difference here. The only problem YOU PEOPLE have with this is Michael Moore organizing Liberals. When the Conservative Tea Baggers are organized to protest you're all alright with it.
"Michael Mooore is a joke - Does this bloated Socialist think that the "People" really give a Cra*p" what he thinks?"
Yup, the same can be said of Rush Limbaugh, who is also a bloated conservative prescription drug addict. How can anyone take that pill-popping drunk seriously?
"What a royal pain in the a** he is and so is Al Franken. Two Liberals who should be shipped off to France or Cuba."
Why don't you just say that anyone who doesn't agree with your foul mouthed opinions and slanted p.o.v. is a p.i.t.a.
"Channel 3 has been calling this liberal putz for an interview ever since he shot his big fat piehole about Lieberman and the FAT WHALE refuses to call them back."
I wouldn't call them back either. But they also call the conservative putz. Oh, and please learn to speak English mr. angry christian foul mouth.
"I bet the liberal creeps will be calling Lieberman out on the street.."
We already are, and we have the right to. Its called the first amendment, have you heard of it?
"I can only hope that Moore and his minions / sheep follow thier leader and make good on this threat"
You Republicans follow fat-a$$ pill popping Limbaugh and hang on his every word. So what is the difference here?
Not all of us on the conservative side of the balance sheet idolize Rush Limbaugh. I listened to part of his show just once and tired of his blowhard commentary in a few minutes... I would have grown tired no matter what he was espousing, since he tends to just run his mouth excessively.
Moore is no more a talented documentary film producer than I am. His so-called documentaries are simply liberal propaganda, since he only gives his leftist views of the given subjects he films. If he were a true documentary film maker, he would remain objective about the subjects.
I don't really mind what he films, since I don't care to watch any of them.
My objection to his cinematographic output is that people honestly think they are watching a fair, balanced and truthful documentary when in fact it's the farthest thing from it.
Exaust all atempts.
He has the right to boycott.
Others don`t have to boycott.
All the facts are not present.
Weigh it in.
Before he asks others to follow He needs to present his reasoning.
Other may not want to slaughter all the animals on the farm and the farmer.
It is a type of manipulation.
Mabe he thinks he is Joe`s pimp.
"Don`t feed the beoch or her family and she will be out whore for me in a few days."
Not everyone is like that so his following most likley will be small.
Joe has more facts that MIke.
This is how he makes his decisions.
This is why Joe is where he is and Mike is where he is.
A decision maker and a rebell.
After all the experience Joe has after makeing decisions and (seeing the results).
He is not doing what he is doing to win a popularity contest or start a rebellion to put folk in the poor house.
He is seeing what is and what will be if one thing is done or the other and saying yes or no.
That is his job.
He is not a volenteer like Mike that wants to stall an entire State to manipulate Washington.
I know it sounds terroistic,but if I did it to Mike he would feel terrorized.
In Connecticut we have negocationist that simple say yes or no.
~Peace Glenna~
Stupid, Fat & Ugly is no way to go through life Mike!!!
What makes him think he can influence votes or get people to boycott CT when he can't even get people to see those dismal pieces of crap movies he puts out?
Barack Obama,
Joe Biden,
Nancy Pelosi,
Harry Reid,
Charles Schumer,
Henry Waxman,
Dick Durbin,
Hillary Clinton,
Al Franken,
Barney Frank,
Chris Dodd,
Michael Moore, puts in his two cents. He is a distraction an is irrelevant…
The question is will the people realize what is going on or will they continue to ware blinders, and support the wanton destruction…
Voters are said to have short memories if true, its Business as usual in Washington DC.
