Michael Moore, other high-profile individuals offer support to Assange 
Even though Julian Assange was passed over by Time magazine for its "Person of the Year" honor, the WikiLeaks founder  remains the international person of the moment. And naturally, that means he's also become the darling of some bold-faced names along the way — famous folk who hail his role as a thorn in the side of the world's power establishment.

For example, liberal filmmaker Michael Moore helped to fund Assange's release from a British jail. In addition to contributing money for Assange's bail, Moore explained that he was extending him "the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving."

Moore said that he thinks that if a site with the influence and reach of WikiLeaks had been around a decade ago, the course of American history would be very different.

"We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Hundreds of thousands are now dead," Moore wrote on his website. "Just imagine if the men who planned this war crime back in 2002 had a WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not have been able to pull it off. The only reason they thought they could get away with it was because they had a guaranteed cloak of secrecy. That guarantee has now been ripped from them, and I hope they are never able to operate in secret again..."

Bianca Jagger is in on it too, I hear.

That figures...the wife of one of the biggest rock star\drug addicts in history,(and a crack head herself)  and a has-been filmmaker who needs credibility again.  The Left sure knows how to pick fellow losers...

Once again, if Moore supports it, I'm against it.
Geesh, Assange is an accused RAPIST, isn't he?

Yeah, man, Moore is less.  :cheers:

Another thing abuot Michael Moore.

For all his screaming about guns and gun irresponsibility, he totally stood behind his bodyguard about 6 years ago, after his second charge for failing to produce a handgun license in a NY airport.

Could that be any more hypocritical?   

Oh and his little hate-filled letter to the club owner that threw Linda Ronstadt out for stroking his ego and promoting him as an American hero when she was onstage.

Naturally if it Ronstatdt were thrown out for Right-wing beliefs, that would be OK though...

Moore has no more credibility. That's why he's latching onto Assange and doing what he's doing. It's his last chance to be a hero with the far left..
