I don't recall Moore in F9/11 saying things like "If Bush is reelected he should be killed." or "If the Secret Service shows up one more time I'm going to kill them."
Do you really think Eastwood was serious?
Can't think of the last left wing book that called for death on right wing folks. Rush Limbaugh is a big fat stupid liar didn't call for death for example but the right sure loved pulling that "Kill em all" bullshit in their rhetoric.
Do you recall Julianne Malveaux saying in one of her columns that she hoped Clarence Thomas's wife is feeding him lots of cholesterol-laden foods because she wants to see him die young from a heart attack?
Shit, just browse through the DU site and you'll see a lot rhetoric calling for the deaths of certain people.
Coulter's an idiot and she certainly doesn't reflect what the average conservative believes any more than Malveaux or the posters on DU reflect what the average liberal hopes happens to Clarence Thomas.
Hell, I'm wondering if Coulter's really a liberal agent provocateur who's job it is to make the right look bad.

We know Moore has a gun, we all saw him open the bank account, so his weight hardly matters given the equalizing proprieties of rifles and other personal firearms.

Frankly I don't think anyone would really care. Yay, some guy off the street threatened to kill Moore if he ever pointed a camera at him, it's not even newsworthy unless it was a really slow news day.
If Shep threatened to shoot Moore it's par for the course, if Elfdart did I'd think "hallelujah! He's seen the light!", and if Zaia said she'd off him it would be indisputable proof that she is actually Shep. I just can't see what the big deal is.

I love you too, do you want a fucking hug?
Technically uttering a death threat is a crime, but the fact is unless it involves POTUS or a case where the guy making the threat has a restraining order against him, no one really cares or takes it seriously. Yay some guy threatened to kill a celebrity, let's put him in jail and laugh at him.

Or Nina Totenberg hoping Jesse Helms gets AIDS?
The point is that extremist assholes aren't the sole preserve of the right.

I'm not saying that Moore's the left's equivalent of Coulter in hate speech, just that neither one of them are known for engaging in logical debate.
Coulter's definitely a few fries short of a happy meal.

I like to consider myself fairly liberal, and I've never heard of either of those people. I guess the only people that know about them are right-wingers that search out left-wing wackos.
Michael Moore, Diane Feinstein, Sarah Brady... all these anti-gun people out there...
...never, ever, ever get rid of them by shooting them with a gun. It only "proves" they were "right all along".
Anti-gun people need to be disposed of by vehiclular homicide, baseball bats, tossing a hair dryer in their tub... but never by a gun.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!
HemlockGrey wrote:I wasn't aware Michael Moore was anti-gun.
A rational person wouldn't think so simply by watching BfC, in which Moore actually contests the notion that America's high gun ownership rate is responsible for it's high crime rate. However, Moore has written and stated on several occasions that he would like to see private ownership of handguns banned in America, including this piece done in 2000 after the Kayla Rolland murder.
Michael Moore wrote:I'll end by repeating what I have said many times before -- the handguns have to go. 16,000 gun murders last year in the US and 15,500 were killed by someone they knew (husband, boyfriend, neighbor) or by someone at work. Approximately 500 were killed by a stranger who broke into their home and 300 of those were killed by their OWN gun. Those are the facts. Easy access to guns by a species that often responds irrationally and with intense emotions is a lethal combination. Great Britain, a nation of 60 million people with a violent history of conquering the world at the barrel of a gun and now full of drunks and hotheads who eat up violent American movies and TV shows -- last year they killed a grand total of 12 -- that's TWELVE! -- of their own citizens with handguns. That's because handguns are TOTALLY banned. Let the hunters keep their rifles after a serious background check, but the handguns, whose only purpose is to take a human life, must go. The Brits have done it, the Australians have done it, the Canadians have done it. Even New York City mostly did it -- and the number of murders there has dropped from 2,200 a year to 600.
A note about the bolded part: handguns are most certainly NOT illegal in Canada: only certain models are, namely .25 and .32 models, the reason being their easy concealibility (certain match/competition models in these calibers are exempted), and any handgun whose barrel is 4 inches or less. Otherwise, it's nice and legal.
More recently, here's another example of Moore's anti-gun sentiment (scroll about 2/3s down th page)...

Minor quibble:
the Brady bill itself has nothing to do with the AWB. That was a separate piece of legislation.
The Brady Campaign does however back a 'strong' AWB.
