Michael Moore Wants To Bring Fidel Castro To The Oscars

"Sicko" director Michael Moore jokes that Fidel Castro would be a "ratings grabber" at Sunday night's Academy Awards show.

Moore's Oscar-nominated documentary on the health-care industry concludes with a trip to Cuba, where he seeks care for a group of 9/11 responders who have experienced health problems. They are greeted with open arms at a Havana hospital and given what appears to be top-notch care that they could not get in the United States.

I just watched Sicko.

Thank you Michael Moore!

Michael, you and Ralph Nader should take a long vacation from politics. Your perceptions are self centered and dangerous. When you can't see an iota of difference between Al Gore and GW Bush, you are clinically blind. Ask the dead.

[samguy]

I can't figure out why so many liberals including moore are blind to this bastard. when i was very young, my father told me that when you have extremes on either side, they pretty end up with similar totaletarian regimes. (i.e. nazi german, soviet russia, cuba, etc)

[rixhex56]

Maybe you should read some reputable historical background about US-Cuban relations.

[paixa3]

Wow, if Michael does not go on a diet, he will need health care practicioners from both Cuba and the USA.

I wish him well and to keep up the good fight.

Do you really want to know the truth about USA healthcare? Watch the above video. It will wake you up and make you sick. THINK! Universal health care and removing the private industry factors is the ONLY thing that will get us decent health care in this country. Now we are only dollar signs to EVERY ONE involved in it. If they heal us, they are out money.

[RFuqua]

I keep hearing, "Universal Healthcare", but I have not heard a solution. Universal Healthcare is an idea, not a solution. The easy part is to say that everyone is deserving, it's another to say how we would do this.
Any ideas?

[amanda85]

"Universal Healthcare is an idea, not a solution."

Universal Healthcare is a **FACT** in every modern industrialized country **EXCEPT** the US, and it **DOES** work. How many Canadians/­Europeans/­Australian­s etc. lose all their assets when they get seriously sick?

None.

You really are: "the Un-enLightened"

[cruisepuppy7452a]

Folks, how many of you really think you will get coverage, keep it with universal healthcare? Nada. Nothing will change. Moore is throwing Castro at us, for many reasons. yeah, its to stir up the pot, leave jaws dropping, but its also to remind us, what we have in this country isn't working. For all of Castro's negative acts, giving his people socialized medicine was the most humane thing he ever could do. Moore is no fool. Voting for universal healthcare would be terrible for this country and our people. The fact Bush wanted Moore arrested for going to Cuba proves, Moore was on the right track. Let's not be swept up with the Bush mindset and think about our health for a moment, shall we? It makes sense.

[HumeSkeptic]

Conservatives, Castro might be coming to LA.

Boo!

[kingofscotts]

So are you saying Liberals would welcome this man to LA?

Do you know even the slightest bit about what this man has done to his people over the last 50 years?

You need to educate yourself before you hurt somebody with your ignorance.

[nanotubz]

It isn't going to happen, period. So why all the tumult?

[maxfusion]

Throw that slob on the grill, and you could feed half of L.A. Lets see, I'll think I'll attain my political insight from a man who can't figure out when to stop eating. Pathetic

[priorzola]

Like Rush Limbaugh or Karl Rove. There's two men doing a hell of lot to try to salvage what's left of the Americn Middle Class.

[Cunningham]

And yet your side of the aisle adores Rush Limbaugh. Go figure.

[Zentomato]

I really get such a great belly laugh as to how even the mere mention of Michael Moore's names gets our conservative brethren to start spinning, whistling, howling, and to biblically start gnashing of their teeth. Conservatives are just so funny! Why I bet that we could replace all the clowns in the circus world with conservatives and there would be even more laughter! God love em. Send your conservative neighbor a nice fruit basket.

[bevi8230]

Of all the people in the world to invite to Oscars, Moore would like Castro there, so typical of Hollywood. Moore's hatred for America contrasted against his admiration for Castro and Chavez really stands out. Come America put 2 and 2 together, communism equals left wing politics. Haven't we all had enough of this, wake up people we are slowly and deceitfully losing everything this country stands for.

[HumeSkeptic]

lol. Just what Zentomato (above) said.

[ronspri]

"Haven't we all had enough of this, wake up people we are slowly and deceitfully losing everything this country stands for."

Now you've got it! We certainly are. If you can see that how come you can't see that the radical right wing has been in charge of this country,recently lock stock and barrell, for the last 25 years? Since Reagan we have had a country run with the conservative mindset. The result is we are slowly and deceitfully losing everything this country stands for. This is what people mean when they say WAKE UP!

[KyleCope]

Michael who? Oh the guy that got Kerry elected in 2004! Right....

Go away, fat man. Continue to spend your Farenheit 9/11 blood money on doughnuts.

[paixa3]

He may actually work harder than you and produce some truth.

Your ignorance is showing.

[rovezaleeker]

How many of the 9 billion bucks, in blood money, a month that this administration is pouring down a shit hole in Iraq are going into darth cheney's pockets?

[cruisepuppy7452a]

Go for it Michael. Just do it. This would seriously be the icing on the cake. I love a fellow shit disturber. Bravo.

[BOfever]

That sounds about right, lefty from Hollywood & Castro. Maybe Castro could bring Moore back to Cuba where they could help pay for the enormous health care bill that a man like him will require.

[tonyfv]

Those of you who on these pages would rightfully crucify Bush and his minions for their trampling of the US Constitution and its protections of civil liberties, and yet write such praise of the man under whose rule even chatting to your neighbor about the repression of the government has been cause for imprisonment and execution, take a second look and see if there is not another edge to that mighty sword you wield.

[Ohg]

Perhaps the producers should drop Kevin Spacey and use Michael Moore in the role of Mike Huckabee in the new movie, "Election 2008."....
