Put Away Your Hankies...a message from Michael Moore


9/20/04

Dear Friends,

Enough of the handwringing! Enough of the doomsaying! Do I have to come there and personally calm you down? Stop with all the defeatism, OK? Bush IS a goner -- IF we all just quit our whining and bellyaching and stop shaking like a bunch of nervous ninnies. Geez, this is embarrassing! The Republicans are laughing at us. Do you ever see them cry, "Oh, it's all over! We are finished! Bush can't win! Waaaaaa!"

Hell no. It's never over for them until the last ballot is shredded. They are never finished -- they just keeping moving forward like sharks that never sleep, always pushing, pulling, kicking, blocking, lying.

[Minimus]

7. mine didn't get hit much ,so I'm glad it's back up for all to see.

[captainjack]

6. he mentioned jon stewart and bill moyers!

yes!! i feel validated.

[Mr_Spock]

2. I couldn't have said it better myself. Michael speaks for me.

I've been mean and telling people to "quit yer whining" - I am glad Michael has said this too as people will listen to him.

[Dr Fate]

4. He's right. Stop the crying and start WORKING.

If you re already working, then work HARDER.

This is a fight dammit, not a garden party.

[noahmijo]

5. Note to all you DU doomsayers and defeatist: THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU

[Liberal Veteran]

8. I know there are plenty here that need a spinal starch infusion....

The fucking sky is falling posts get on my last nerve.

[flpoljunkie]

9. The last paragraph must be read, esp by all the chicken littles here on DU

Just for me, please? Buck up. The country is almost back in our hands. Not another negative word until Nov. 3rd! Then you can bitch all you want about how you wish Kerry was still that long-haired kid who once had the courage to stand up for something. Personally, I think that kid is still inside him. Instead of the wailing and gnashing of your teeth, why not hold out a hand to him and help the inner soldier/protester come out and defeat the forces of evil we now so desperately face. Do we have any other choice?

Yours,

Michael Moore

15. Michael is so Sweet! He speaks for me, too!

Gawd, he has such a way with words! I'm been wanting to hear from him ..I was scanning his site a coulple of days ago..Great!

[tnlefty]

21. Perhaps it is more difficult for those of us in the "red states" who feel

as though we're making progress and transformed a Bushbot* into a Kerry voter only to talk to that person a couple of weeks later to discover they intend to vote for that Dimwit*. Or when we think that we're making headway in the state and then a damned poll will come out showing that Dimwit* leading by a large margin. For me it's not necessarily a "chicken little" thing, but more of a what the hell has happened and what can be done about it thing.

I'll admit that I frequently feel like I'm on a damned roller coaster!

10. very good - kick to the top

[grace0418]

11. Thank you Michael

Great article. Thanks for posting it.

[AnnInLa]

12. good rallying message.....kick

[sundog]

13. Thank you Michael! For you downers THIS MEANS YOU...

and you know who you are!

[LisaL]

16. Exactly. Whine, whine, whine...

Kerry said this or Kerry said that. How can I vote on election day now, should I stay home instead and wash my dog now? Michal Moore says "Enough already"!

[LisaL]

14. Exactly.

And no matter what Bush says and does, they are happily supporting him, unlike us, who are never happy.
We just have to realize that our candidate is a million times better than Bush and be happy with it.

[Clinton Crusader]

17. very good read - kick

:kick:

[spooky3]

18. Thanks--a great read!

[mmonk]

19. That felt good

thanks Michael, I'll get back to work and keep pushing.

[wellstone dem]

20. and a well-deserved kick

in the pants for us all.

[freeplessinseattle]

22. I just got tickets ta few hours ago to see him live!

yay!! Oct 19 in Seattle, and only $15 dollars each, with $5 and $10 seats available too, isn't he cool? I'd have paid whatever I could, but I think he is so cool to make his appearance so affordable. This will be so motivational, and just a couple weeks before K-day.

[sundog]

23. KICK for the doom & gloomers!

:kick:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

24. Beautifully timed...great inspirational reading.

He articulated so much in just a few paragraphs. On target 100%.

25. Awesome article

I love Michael Moore. This was a great read, especially this part:

"If I hear one more person tell me how lousy a candidate Kerry is and how he can't win... Dammit, of COURSE he's a lousy candidate -- he's a Democrat, for heavens sake! That party is so pathetic, they even lose the elections they win!"

Hilarious, and so true.

[NEDem]

26. Kick for the 'chicken little' crowd
