As expected any time Michael Moore makes an appearance somewhere, it drives the right wing yappers out there like Bill O'Reilly and Andrea Tantaros insane. While discussing whether Michael Moore showing up at the protests in Wisconsin is helping or hurting the unions there -- because of course, Andrea is so very, very concerned for, and just really loves those union workers -- Tantaros accuses Moore of being some evil Commie that just wants to steal money from rich people.

As expected any time Michael Moore makes an appearance somewhere, it drives the right wing yappers out there like Bill O'Reilly and Andrea Tantaros insane. While discussing whether Michael Moore showing up at the protests in Wisconsin is helping or hurting the unions there -- because of course, Andrea is so very, very concerned for, and just really loves those union workers -- Tantaros accuses Moore of being some evil Commie that just wants to steal money from rich people.

O'REILLY: So you say Moore hurts the union folks right?

TANTAROS: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I think there's a lot of good, decent hard working union members that don't want to be involved with this guy. I think they see him coming in and they say "Oh no, here he is again." Look, you pointed out, he's not being honest.

We're not broke. So he has no credibility. What he does have credibility on and the fact is, and I've got to give him this. He's honest because he's an honest Communist. He's an honest collectivist. Ellis you and I know when he goes out there and he says there's plenty of resources floating around...

O'REILLY: He's talking about private money.

TANTAROS: He's talking about taking it. Taking something that doesn't belong from him. That's who he is. He's being honest.

Yeah, because taxing the rich is the same as stealing. Stay classy Andrea. Never mind that Wall Street got bailed out with our tax dollars and are still making outrageous salaries and bonuses. No complaints about that. No complaints about the salaries the politicians make or them steering contracts paid for by our tax dollars to their contractor buddies and their salaries. But if you're a middle class income earner and you're a union member, or if you stand up for them like Moore has, you're fair game to be kicked around by this crowd.

Here's more from Michael on our income disparity in America, which is what this woman and O'Reilly are protecting. -- The Forbes 400 vs. Everybody Else.
