‘50 Million Dollar’ Man: Michael Moore Heckled by Occupiers

Michael Moore may sympathize with the 99 percent, but he got a bit of a rude reminder that he isn‘t one of them at a rally in New York city’s Zuccotti Park on Saturday.

Moore reportedly decided to go for a personal meet-and-greet with Occupy protesters, and while he snapped multiple photos with adoring fans, there was also some discontent after his speech as some hecklers called him “50 million dollar, Halliburton invested Michael Moore.” Presumably, the latter accusation refers to a story from 2005 that Moore once owned Halliburton stock.

Michigan Live found the YouTube (seemingly taken by an Occupy sympathizer) of the heckling, and Reuters gives us some excerpts from Moore’s remarks:

[Occupy Wall Street] continues to draw celebrities, however. On Saturday night, independent filmmaker Michael Moore strode through the park before the police incursion.

“I think it’s great that this movement continues to grow,” Moore said. “I think the goals are clear. People are concerned that they have no control over their own democracy. They have no control over their own lives.

“This is the beginning. This park is sacred ground for millions across the country.”

Video:

The part with Moore and the heckling begins around 4:15 in the video.

    Moore- ” I love you, now go pay $8 for my next movie and $25 for my next book”. Capitalist Moore, how would he make a living if it wasn’t for selling his wares?

      Moore “IS” what used to be known as a provocateur. A duplicitous self promotional con man.

      These are pot head crack heads who sponge off their family,don’t go to school or work just show up down there for for free food,free sex,free rape,free abortion and no condoms. Of course they don’t have to work because far left sugar daddies fund their orgies. They aren’t old enough or experienced enough or educated enough to know anything except what the bull horn chants. I am curious about who the anarchists are and where they are from. Seems like they “migrate” around the globe to hook up and play “destroyer” where ever their sponsors send them. Why can’t the media find our who they are?

      so if Beck is a con man, looks like you are the sucker that got conned. You hang out on his site enough.

      Glen makes good money, and he found a market for what he sells. Who else does what Glen does, and in the way he is doing it. He is doing well with his internet TV, and he is the first talk radio dude to really lift the veil on the progressive movement.

      assclowns like you get jelous because you are to lazy or too stupid to come up with something as successfull.

      Like Marx, he was to lazy to work, and let his own kid starve. He sat around trying to figure out a way to soak the rich, and take what did not belong to him.

      You hit the nail on the head my friend. votebush is just the same old scommie but changed his/her name. Beck is successful and that causes jealousy, resentment and anger. votebush is the guy adam carolla was talking about. No talent, lazy, filthy, lice infested, std carrying, liberal educated d-bag with absolutely no marketable skills for the workplace so he is intent on dragging down the world with him.

      Its a sad, sad existence to base your whole life on hating those who work their a$$ off to realize their dreams while you sleep under a tarp with a dreadlocked hippy chick. Rock on votebush, encinom, beckisnuts, or whoever you are or were but are now too ashamed and need a new name. You will always lose. The outcome of the battle has already been determined. You are just fighting for your pathetic scraps.

      Whether you agree or not with these people, they are taking action. It may be the wrong action, but they can be educated. Just like we all can be educated.
      You can’t just paint a group of people like that with a broad brush. That‘s the simpleton’s view.

      If you watched the video, you would hear that there are Ron Paul supporters there trying to educate some of these folks about TRUE free market solutions and the need for strict adherence to the Constitution. I would bet that is more productive than what you’re doing.

      If you’re not p!ssed off, you’re not paying attention. At least these people are paying attention and trying to do SOMETHING. You’ve been dumbed down and polarized, so that you could be more easily controlled by the few.
      Take 13 minutes to learn the story of your enslavement. Please.

      Jefferson is right…….Don’t you listen to Beck, he tells you the history yet some still don’t get it! Yes these occupiers are the “useful idiots” but they have been programmed for years, used for years, decades I should say. No we don’t agree with violence and burning anything, but we have to spread the truth about our Republic, and our Constitution, do soldiers die on foreign soil to uphold the UN Contract for America, do we pay our taxes to set up Saddam then take him out, where is our Gold Standard, where is the gold that is to keep our spending at bay, and make our dollars worth something, who is asking the real questions.
      It’s not us vs. them, some of the Occupiers need to be instructed in common sense and freedom via. the Constitution. They are destroying, yes, according to the progressive agenda.
      But how are the mac and cheese eating Americans doing the same thing?……
      By not knowing the truth, by not researching and asking the hard questions, who controls our money and why? Not the Federal Government as in the 3 branches, but the secretive unchecked Fed, Greenspan said it himself, no one regulates it but itself, free from responsibility to the American people. When we fight within the “Republican Progressive” Party we are doing just as much damage as the 99% …..Santorum, Romney, McCain, etc. etc. are not saying anything different but all the same……….don’t you see?

      You make a solid point about getting involved and doing something about “it”. My issue that concerns me greatly is simply this…..even if Ron Paul supporters are there in number the underlying phillosophy that is at the heart of the argument OWS is trying to make is politically, socioeconomically at 180 degree odds with strict adherance to the “free market” and the US Constitution. A 50/50 mix of Fed medaling since the mid 50′s onward (when the post war boom allowed a rapid expansion of upward mobility) has got us to where we are now, at the precipice of disaster.

      What OWS represents is a false choice at best and a cruel lie at worst for the very folks that support such actions and would agitate vigorously for the 99% vs the 1% have willingly delegated , nay relegated thier own future to a Gov’t beaurocrat to decide what is best for them. This road is short and ends badly.
