Michael Moore Tries to Out-Church Sean Hannity
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
Promoting Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore is beating the drum of his Catholicism in a way that he hasn't previously. Check out this clip from Moore's appearance last night on Sean Hannity's TV show.
When Hannity suggests possible political labels for Moore, the filmmaker responds: "Christian." Then Moore quizzes the Fox News host, a fellow Catholic, on the last time he's been to mass. Trying to out-church him, Moore implies that Hannity is fibbing about having attended mass last weekend.
It's no accident that Moore's new openness about his religious faith is coming now, after the Democratic Party has spent five years urging its members to speak up about their faith to combat the conventional wisdom that the GOP is more religion-friendly. That campaign has spilled over to the broader liberal movement in a big way. But if Moore, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi are all spokespeople for the left's faith-friendliness, where's the national leader of the left's fast-growing secular wing?

Name Calling
When ever you have to resort to name calling and personal ridicule to make a point, well you really make no point at all except that it is your opinion and not based on any logical argument. This occurs on both sides. Everyone that opposes Obama and his policies is not a right wing, uneducated, radical racist, keeper of the status quo. There are good reasons to oppose Obama and his policies. This is The United States of America. When has the government ever really been the solution to anything? Does the government really do anything well? Is capitalism perfect? Of course it isn't, but it is responsible for the creation of more wealth, advancement and the lifting up of the standard of living of more people than any other system out there. Are there people that take advantage or act inappropriately. Of course. But government control is not the answer at all. They have separated us into separate camps that can't see the reasoned arguments from the other side. Solutions can't be just "liberal" or "conservative." Most everything has a middle ground. There are ways to obtain health care for everyone that don't involve government control(which will likely lead to more rationing than we have now).
What are you saying Dan Gilgoff
This interview was about 20 minutes long...with more important topics than this clip shows.
Topics like taxes, health care, or how about the comparison of US hospitals verse Cuba's.
Here Hannity showed an abandoned hospital to attempt to show how bad Cuba's hospitals are.
He had to show an abandoned building!!!!!
Get back on point Dan Gilgoff and stop changing the subject like Sean did when he got himself in trouble during this interview.
HANNITH VS MOORE
