Support the films Townhall.com tells us are "Anti-American"

[dissent1977]

Townhall.com has a list of ten upcoming "Anti-American" films. Please support these films when they come to the theaters, we must show these people that their McCarthyism does not work on us.

Here are some of the descriptions they give of the films on their site.

- "V For Vendetta." From Warner Brothers and the creators of "The Matrix" comes this film about a futuristic Great Britain that's become a 'fascist state.' A masked 'freedom fighter' named V uses terror tactics (including bombing the London Underground) to undermine the government - leading to a climax in which the British Parliament is blown up. Natalie Portman stars as a skinhead who turns to 'the revolution' after doing time as a Guantanamo-style prisoner.

"The Scorpion's Gate." Sony has optioned former terrorism-czar Richard Clarke's novel about oil companies and Washington politicians colluding to reshape the map of the Middle East for greater oil profiteering - this time by launching a global nuclear war.

"The Chancellor Manuscript." Paramount reworks Robert Ludlum¹s 1977 thriller into an anti-Patriot Act star vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio. Here's the film's screenwriter, Michael Seitzman: "We live in this crazy post-Patriot Act environment where Benjamin Franklin¹s warning that 'those that give up essential liberties for temporary security don¹t deserve either one' are being ignored, so the subject matter seemed ripe."

"American Dreamz." This 'satire' from Universal Pictures deals with Pakistani suicide bombers out to kill the US president. The film stars Hugh Grant, Richard Dreyfuss, Willem Dafoe and Mandy Moore. According to writer-director Paul Weitz ("American Pie"), "The film is a comic examination of ... cultural obsessions" like the War on Terror "and how they can anaesthetise us to the actual issues of our day."

"I didn't tell them to blow up abortion clincs or government buildings. I'm just an entertainer."

That's why Cheney and the rest of the Rethug Right are guests on Limbaugh's program. That's why Limbaugh was made an honorary member of the 104th(?) Congress. It's just the "entertainment value."

Fascism is just soooo entertaining to some people. :puke:

8. I assume you are refering to "V is for Vendeta"

Here is the premise from Yahoo.

Premise: In an alternate timeline where Germany won World War II and Great Britain is now a facist state, a masked vigilante known only as "V" conducts guerrilla warfare against the government. When he rescues a normal young woman (Portman), she joins his struggle against the forces of oppression.

So apparently these people don't like the idea of people fighting against Nazi's.

9. Two questions for Jason Apuzzo

1 Why does he hate Ben Franklin?
2 Why does he endorse fascism?

Silly freepers. They're just so silly, silly, silly.
