Hypocrite, much?

"If the small businesses suck they'll be driven out of business," he said. "If they got a good restaurant, people will go there and eat. You know in my town the small businesses that everyone wanted to protect? They were the people that supported all the right-wing groups. They were the Republicans in the town, they were in the Kiwanas, the Chamber of Commerce - people that kept the town all white. The small hardware salesman, the small clothing store salespersons, Jesse the Barber who signed his name three different times on three different petitions to recall me from the school board. F*ck all these small businesses - f*ck 'em all! Bring in the chains. The small businesspeople are the rednecks that run the town and suppress the people. F*ck 'em all. That's how I feel."
So, Michael Moore, the poster-boy for the working-class, and all-around hater of large corporations, is saying "f*ck" small-businesses and "bring on" the corporations?
Asked about the proposed Arcata Bottoms cell phone tower, Moore interrupted the question at the mention of the words "cell phone," launching into a tirade about poor service like a junk food junkie who'd been served a soggy McMuffin. Pulling his phone from a jacket pocket, he complained, "I just opened it up and looked at it and there are 18 messages, I haven't turned it on for three days. I hate these things. They don't work - try to use one and your conversation will last 30 seconds and they'll cut you out and you're giving all your money to them." Moore said cell phones shouldn't be used until they're actually "invented," - which hasn't happened yet. "This is *beep*. This is trying to suck money from you. These towers pollute the environment. Who knows what's going into your brains from the things?"
So, he hates cell-phones (as well as the companies that produce and support cell-phones), but he owns one and pays money for it?
Go ahead, Moore-fans [I'm lookin' at you, Kevin Norton], defend this hypocrisy.
