Detroit Free Press: Critic tweaks Occupy Wall Street supporter Michael Moore for Torch Lake manse

Conservative critics of Michigan-bred filmmaker and Occupy Wall Street supporter Michael Moore are having a bit of sport today with an item posted on one of Andrew Breitbart’s websites, Big Hollywood, featuring photos and assessment records for Moore’s sprawling vacation home on Torch Lake.

The photos show a multistory stone, brick and wood-sided home, taken from lake side, and a satellite view that makes the place look like a millionaire’s compound. Which is exactly the point for Breitbart, who ridicules Moore for urging the protesters to “continue their fight against the wealthy 1% of Americans” when he is a one-percenter himself.

Breitbart describes Moore’s getaway as the “kind of luxurious summer home that 99% of Americans can only dream of owning.”

Actually, it’s more luxurious than Breitbart realizes. He tracked down the Forest Home property tax assessment listing the Moore mansion’s state equalized value at $925,000 and appears to take that figure to be its market value. In Michigan, however, SEV represents only 50% of estimated market value, so it’s really a $1.85-million property. At least, according to the assessor.

This is what liberal hypocrisy look like:
