Michael Moore: Plan All Along Was to 'Execute' Bin Laden, Funeral was 'Bullsh*t'

You’re not only able to understand people through their belief system but also through the priority of that belief system. With all the problems in the world right now, here you have an Oscar-winning, multi-millionaire film director who chooses to use his celebrity soapbox to defend … Osama bin Laden.

Excellent work from the Wrap:

The Oscar-winning director has been tweeting about his belief that Bin Laden should have received a trial, and his theory that Pakistan was keeping the Al Qaeda head under house arrest. TheWrap grilled Moore about his controversial views.

Is Obama lying about how Bin Laden died?

Common sense tells you he was executed. That was the plan all along. Just tell us that and quit treating us like children.

I have a lot of faith in Obama, but we’ve received three different stories in three days. We heard, “There was a firefight.” “He used a woman as a shield.” Now it turns out none of these things were true. He wasn’t armed.

Does it matter if he was executed? Do you think he deserved a trial?

I am a Catholic, and the position of the Catholic Church and the Pope is that we are 100 percent against the death penalty unless it is in self-defense. Look at the Nuremberg Trials. We didn’t just pop a bullet in the heads of the worst scum in history. We thought it was important to put them on trial and expose their evil. In a democracy we believe in a system of justice and we believe in a judicial system that gives people a day in court…and then we hung them.

It doesn’t mean we can’t hang them afterward. ….

Do you think Osama was really buried at sea because of his religious beliefs?

That’s bullsh*t — “He was buried at sea according to Muslim tradition.” I’ve got many Muslim friends where I live in Michigan. When I go to a Muslim funeral in Detroit, we don’t hop in a chopper after the ceremony and drop the body into Lake Erie.

We’re so worried about upsetting the Muslim world. We just shot him in the f**king head, do you think they care how we conduct the funeral?

Well, I’m also a Catholic who believes in the rule of law and regardless of the circumstances, it was completely appropriate and moral to drop bin Laden on sight. There are no Geneva protections for terrorists. Furthermore, what a trial would’ve done to traumatize the victims of 9/11 is unthinkable.

Moore’s dancing around the funeral question is especially pathetic. Well, of course Moore’s “Muslim friends” aren’t dropped in the Great Lakes. That wasn’t the question. Why is he afraid to answer it?

Michael Moore doesn’t care about facts or the 9/11 victims. All he cares about is doing what he always does, and that’s trashing America.

The man is an obscenity.
