HuluMichael Moore Takes on 'Murderous Georgia' With Boycott Breitbart, seizing on Moore's embrace of Occupy Wall Street and his denial that he's among the richest 1 percent of Americans, has posted five photos of Moore's lavish vacation home on Lake Torch in Michigan.

"It is also purely narcissistic and selfish for Moore to back radical and destructive socialist policies that would deny other Americans the opportunity to become as rich as he is." Breitbart posted the photos at one of his websites on Thursday and a link at the Drudge Report on Friday ensured that they spread like a virus on the Internet.

I need you to sit here and say, 'I'm in the 1 percent.'" "How can I be in the 1 percent?" Moore countered. "Even though I do well, I don't associate myself with those who do well. I am devoting my life to those who have less." (Video below).

Moore told him: "You're just punk media. You lie. You lie to people. Stop lying." (Video below). Related Topics Michael Moore Anthony Weiner Andrew Breitbart Matt Drudge Politics
