Like you and me, only better
In NJ, police chief signs off on gun permit for councilman. A councilman who is a prohibited person and cannot lawfully touch a firearm.
Meanwhile, Michael Moore reports hiring a SEAL team to protect him from threats. See, you don’t need guns if you can afford a SEAL team! How progressive.

RE Moore: “Boss, do we really need the money that badly?”

I’m sure while protecting Moore the SEALs were armed with only their quick wits and sharp tongues.

I just lost some respect for SEALS if this is true.

Don’t underestimate the sense of humor of a SEAL team. They are being paid to protect him from threats. That doesn’t mean he won’t be tossed into the trunk of a limo to “protect” him when the SEALS get suspicious an “attack” is imminent.

I doubt they were SEALs at all.

So will the SEALs protect him from heart disease when he eats fifteen burritos?

I’m hoping he hired the same SEALs we’ve been finding (and laughing about) on training videos recently.

+1 I bet they’re the same “SEALS” that are in about his same shape that we all meet at the gun shops and shows.
Don’t doubt them just because the Pentagon will deny that they even exist. Their ops were JUST THAT BLACK!
Also do security details have disclaimers that they will make an effort to protect, but aren’t responsible if harm does happen.
“Sure Mike, I’ll help you from that angry mob, but only after I finish my coffee and cigarette!”
let him get greased, and cash the checks while they wait.

It says he hired ex-SEALS – is an ex-SEAL like an Ex-Marine…?

If Moore was surrounded by 9 guards around the clock does that mean there where 27 in three shifts of 9 plus alternates for sick days and vacation? Or was it 9 in three shifts of 2 or 3 depending in sick days and vacation? Even if the number is 9 total SEALs and he got a group discount on them and their airline tickets that’s about a million dollars a year on security. So from 2003 till now that would mean Moore has spent 8 million dollars on security. I just don’t think Moore is that uber rich. Also I recall a news article about More’s only security guard who got arrested for flying into NYFC with a handgun in his luggage. I thingk Moore is lying.

Jason has a good point. After “Bowling For Columbine” won the Oscar, but got so many solid rebuttals about ethical issues, even the ultra-left started playing “Spot the Fraud” in his films. “Sicko” didn’t even get a serious viewing in any of the reviews I read. I suspect he isn’t doing all that well financially.

‘I suspect he isn’t doing all that well financially.”
Yeah. Sometimes, karma is a bitch…

The “SEAL security team” thing reeks of bullshit.
September 8th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
If they are protecting Moore they must be a WHALE team
