Michael Moore citations Page 3

“Nos juges et nos avocats ne sont plus guère que des espèces d'éboueurs en robe de magistrat chargés de recueillir et d'éliminer les rebuts de la société. Il s'agit d'une espèce de nettoyage ethnique à l'américaine.”

Stupid White Men, 2001

“Quand les Noirs et les Blancs feront l'amour ensemble - au lieu que les Noirs se fassent simplement baiser par les Blancs -, on finira peut-être par avoir une Amérique où tout le monde sera de la même couleur.”

Stupid White Men, 2001

“Nos législateurs ont entièrement négligé des questions aussi insignifiantes que la possibilité d'éviter l'annihilation nucléaire de la planète pour se concentrer sur un thème absolument vital : comment le chef des armées avait procédé pour introduire un cigare dans l'orifice vaginal d'une stagiaire.”

Stupid White Men, 2001

“Les femmes sont, hélas, bien placées pour savoir que le numéro de police secours est surtout là pour pouvoir avertir les forces de l'ordre qu'elles peuvent venir avec une ambulance et un bon détachant pour nettoyer les dégâts, vu que le temps
que les tribunaux ordonnent enfin une séparation des corps, l'un des corps en question risque d'accuser une rigidité suspecte.”

Stupid White Men, 2001

“Le lycée, c'est bien connu, est une institution punitive sadique et perverse organisée par des adultes pleins de ressentiment sous prétexte qu'ils ne peuvent plus mener la vie de glandouillage irresponsable à laquelle s'adonnent joyeusement les adolescents vingt-quatre heures sur vingt-quatre et sept jours sur sept.”

Stupid White Men, 2001

“Ce sont les Noirs qui créent, et c'est nous qui empochons les royalties. Qu'il s'agisse de comédie, de danse, de mode, de langage, nous adorons la façon dont les Noirs s'expriment, et nous adorons singer leur vocabulaire et leur attitude, c'est tellement cool. Bien entendu, il ne s'agit que d'une imitation à l'usage des branchés, pas question de se mettre vraiment dans leur peau, on veut pas se faire harceler par les flics à tous les coins de rue.”

Stupid White Men, 2001

“Ce n'est guère que l'expression naturelle d'une société qui enferme impitoyablement quiconque pourrait être un criminel, même s'il ne lest pas, parce que la sécurité prime sur la justice.”

Michael Moore: Citations en anglais

“I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire, I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it? There's millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?”

On President George W. Bush in "BuzzFlash Interviews Michael Moore" (13 March 2002) http://www.buzzflash.com/interviews/2002/03/Michael_Moore_031302.html 2002

“We know all those facts about Florida and what Katherine Harris did, and the private firm that took African-Americans off the voting rolls and prohibited them from voting. But I've been surprised in this first week how many average Americans were not aware of all of the trickery and deceit that took place in the year before the election to fix it for George W. Bush.”

Responding to criticism over his purchase of a million-dollar home, as quoted in the Arcata Eye (3 March 2002); and in "Moore Lies, Moore Fun at Stanford" by Joe Fairbanks in the Stanford Review (17 April 2002) http://www.stanfordreview.org/Archive/Volume_XXVIII/Issue_4/Opinion/opinion2.shtml 2002

“Now, I know this is a bitter pill to swallow. Iraq was going to be your great legacy. Now, it's just your legacy. It didn't have to end up this way.
This week, when Republicans and conservative Democrats started jumping ship, you lashed out at them. You thought the most damning thing you could say to them was that they were "endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party." I mean, is that the best you can do to persuade them to stick with you — compare them to me? You gotta come up with a better villain. For heaven's sakes, you had a hundred-plus million other Americans who think the same way I do — and you could have picked on any one of them! But hey, why not cut out the name-calling and the smearing and just do the obvious thing: Come join the majority! Be one of us, your fellow Americans! Is it really that hard? Is there really any other choice? George, take a walk on the wild side!”

As quoted in a review of Fahrenhype 9/11, FahrenHYPE 9/11: Morris vs. Moore, Chicago Sun Times, 28 October 2004, Jim, Emerson http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040802/EDITOR/41028002, - some indications exist that this was from a speech in Power Center, Michigan, promoting Dude (2003) 2004

“The stories of the pharmaceutical companies and the health insurance companies is told. My film acts as a balance. I exist to provide balance, and I tell you, it isn't much balance. They're on every day, all day. My film is two hours. If for two hours during this entire year, people are exposed to the other side of the story, isn't that ok? It's amazing how they go after me. You asked me back there, 'You're biased. You have only one side.' Well, yeah, I have a bias. I have a bias on behalf of the little guy who doesn't have a say. I'm lucky enough to be able to have this bully pulpit, to be able to say the things I say, on behalf of the people who don't have a voice. The pharmaceutical companies and corporate America, they've got their voice. They own the networks and they can say whatever they want, all the time, and they do. So can we just have two hours for this side to have their say? I hope so, I think so. That's what I'm trying to do.”

“I know a lot of people in Michigan that are planning to vote for Trump and they don't necessarily like him that much, and they don't necessarily agree with him. They're not racist or rednecks, they're actually pretty decent people…”
