I know the point you're trying to make, but do you really think that $925,000 is expensive for a house?

I would guess if you have a $1million vacation home that puts you firmly in the 1% he enjoys rallying against.

Or maybe if he's got you obsessing over what type of house he lives in and how much he makes, he should keep doing whatever it is he's doing.

Lol, 919,000. Is this the best you have got? An average home in a decent suburb in my city is close to 800,000.
Pathetic. How much did so called "soccer mom" Sarah Palin take in last year? Talk about hypocrisy.

Btw, that's a nice freakin house for $900k. That same house anywhere in California would be like 5 million minimum.

And usually documentary filmmakers are broke...they're lucky to make any money at all.
So for the self-proclaimed financial experts here, what's he supposed to do? Donate that $ to the March of Dimes and live in a tent?
He could very easily not be able to make money in his vocation in the next 5-10 years. Feast or famine is common for filmmakers, actors, singers etc. So he needs to preserve what he is, same as anyone else would.
He's been quite consistent and holds true to his roots, whether you like him/his films or not.

There are a number of reasons to call Moore a hypocrite, but I don't care that he owns a 900K+ house.
His hypocrisy starts with railing against Corporate America, but investing in Corporate America via his foundation, which is why he can get away with the half-truth, "I don't own any stocks".

Michael Moore is a preachy bitch who attempts to make unbiased films that somehow ultimately come out in favor of his liberal I-tug-you, you-tug-me agenda.
But hey, what use is all that cash (Fahrenheit 911 made over 200 million and cost about 10 to make) sitting in the bank? I might think that his films are preachy and lame and he looks like I would if I ate McDonalds every day for two years and was like 6 inches shorter, but I applaud the ambition.
And yes, 925k for any vacation home, let alone a second one, is expensive.

When you hear about "soccer moms" flying about in private jets on a regular basis let me know.
wtf are you talking about? are you really that dumb? she can fly on her own 747 if she wants, as long as she doesnt stand up and talk about how flying private is wrong and capitalism sucks while making money off it. that former soccer mom is also a former Governor and VP candidate. the liberal stupidity seriously never ceases to amaze me. i'm surprised most of you can even manage to feed yourself, but I guess that explains why 17% of the country is on food stamps.

Sarah Palin has never made global warming an issue. Gore has, repeatedly, and used it to cash in, big time. The hypocrisy of that guy is mind boggling. He's just a whore like the rest of the politicians.

The moral of this story is that tenderman100 is a dumb troll who thinks Michael Moore, having made some documentaries pointing out some of the problems in this country, is somehow a left-wing spokesperson. Michael Moore isn't a left-wing spokesperson, he is just a documentary guy who is just someone the right-wing chooses to poke fun of because a lot of the things Michael Moore seems to expose (like how Detroit is fucked up, how our health care system is substandard compared to other Western Countries, and how we're delusionally pro-gun in this country) goes counter to the bread-and-butter wisdom of the right wing.
I don't know how this forum, of all places, ended up attracting right-wing loony talk. It's really baffling to me.
It's not even educated conservatives. No, it's the fucking dumb bumpkins who can somehow afford internet access for their cheap ePCs. For fuck's sake. The internet has become shit ever since every god damned person can afford to access it now.
