Michael Moore Thinks Liberals are Ignorant and Stupid!

Don't believe me? You don't have to; here's the words from the horse's ass. I mean mouth.
First, this is Michael Moore, speaking to The Mirror, a London paper:

[Americans] are possibly the dumbest people on the planet . . . in thrall to conniving, thieving smug pricks," Moore intoned. "We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing."

Wow. That's pretty harsh, isn't it Michael?

Then, in an open letter to the German periodical Die Zeit, he said:

Should such an ignorant people lead the world? How did it come to this in the first place? 82 percent of us don't even have a passport! Just a handful can speak a language other than English (and we don't even speak that very well.)

Ok, so he doesn't really like the majority of Americans all that much. But why would I say that he thinks liberals are ignorant and stupid?

Well, because here's what he had to say in Boston, for American consumption:

The majority of our fellow Americans are liberal and progressive when it comes to the issues.

So, if most Americans are dumb and ignorant, and most Americans are liberal and progressive, then the conclusion is inescapable: liberals are dumb and ignorant and are being lead around by "conniving, thieving, smug pricks."

Which pretty much describes Michael Moore himself, come to think of it.

Remember folks, I didn't say any of this; Michael Moore did.
