Still reeling from his own personal Whoopi rape-rape Goldberg moment, still on defense after wrist-flicking away the charges against Wikileaker Julian Assange as “hooey,” in an interview with The Wrap’s Laurene Williams, Michael Moore threw a bomb at the U.S. Military labeled Non-Sequitur Finalist of 2010 in a pathetic and revealing attempt to deflect from his own troubles.
WRAP: It appears the allegations [against Assange] are being used to sway public opinion. But is the public so gullible?
MICHAEL MOORE: Rape is one of the most loaded words imaginable. It’s one of the most horrific crimes that exists amongst human beings. They decided to throw the mother lode at him by using that word. But if we want to have a discussion about rape we can talk about the percentage of women who are raped in the U.S. military. It’s a higher percentage than rape in the general population.
Naturally Williams lets that fly without challenge, simple follow-up questions, such as:
- What do military rape rates have to do with you dismissing these charges as hooey?
- Where are your statistics? [the links provided by The Wrap aren’t exactly definitive]
- Do other subcultures have a higher percentage of rape allegations than the general population? Like, say, Hollywood assholes?
- Why don’t you give the U.S. Military the same benefit of the “hooey” doubt you gave Assange?
This is just the first part of the interview, so maybe Williams is saving the hard charging, feet-to-the fire, holding-the-Hollywood-wealthy-and-powerful-accountable questions for later.
Regardless, once again, Moore reveals another piece of his own poisoned soul. Other than shame his selfish, anti-American narcissism with their honorable and selfless service, the military has never done anything to Michael Moore.
But I guess that was enough.
