NOTABLE QUOTES \ Michael Moore

Here's some of what political activist and filmmaker Michael Moore said Thursday during a rally at Youngstown State University:
On the similarities between Youngstown and his hometown of Flint, Mich.: "We were brought together by corporate America, which was far more interested in its own greedy pockets than the citizens."
On guns: "We know you don't need an Uzi to kill a deer. ... Only some wimp would need an Uzi to kill a deer, people that like to dress up in flyboy suits."
On how Republicans would be treated if Kerry wins: "When we get health care for every American, we'll get it for Republicans too. When we raise the minimum wage to a living wage, we'll raise it for everyone. When we bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq, we'll bring their sons and daughters home too."
On the gay-marriage debate: "After Jan. 20 [Inauguration Day], we're still going to let the Republicans marry each other, even though we think they're a little strange, a little weird. After Jan. 20, Republicans can marry Republicans."
On the Republican campaigns: "They are dedicated, they are committed, they are relentless, they are well-funded. They're like sharks who never stop moving."
On the differences between Bush and Kerry's military records: "I would rather have someone in the White House who has seen [combat] and knows it shouldn't be used except as an absolute last resort."
On Sept. 11: "I want the murderers of those people caught and punished. Why aren't we doing that? Why are we in Iraq? They killed no one on Sept. 11. The murderers are running free."
On the "slacker vote": "The slacker motto this year: Sleep until noon, drink beer, vote Kerry Nov. 2."
On Bush's performance during the debates: "What was that when he stopped in the middle of his sentence -- 'let me finish' -- nobody was talking."
