Oh goody, something new for FAUX to rant on about..

[Virginia Dare]

the movie about Bush being assassinated. They whipped themselves into a frenzy of demagoguery this afternoon over it.

1. Look for English muffins to be called "Freedom muffins" from now on.

:evilgrin:

10. Hee.

In England, they're just called "muffins" anyway - without the "English" - but you're probably right about the "freedom muffins" bit.

If you want a bit of a giggle, go read the comments section at the end of this article: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23365246-details/President%20Bush%20'assassinated'%20in%20new%20TV%20docudrama/article.do?expand=true#StartComments. There hasn't been much of a response from Brits yet, but quite a few comments from Americans (who I think probably found their way there via Fox News).

13. Sorry about all those US yahoos; although I think a New Yorker summed

up the most frightening aspect of the film quite well:

"The real horror is that if W were assassinated Dick Cheney would become president.

- Jolanta Benal, Brooklyn, NY"

Leave it to a Brooklynite!

2. Rush Limbaugh too

The truth is it is a gift to them, isn't it? If somebody made a movie about killing a major Dem how would we react?

I don't know what the motavation of the people who made this movie - but it's a gift to the Repugs.

3. Repugs probably financed it

No, I don't know, but I wouldn't put it passed them to do something like that so they could fingerpoint at the liberal media.

4. I had the same thought...

after I unfortunately witnessed a few minutes of the charade this afternoon. Just looking for news about the storm, I should know better.

14. Is this the war on Christmas come early?

Get the base excited and in the end Much Ado About Nothing?

9. but annthrax coultergeist calls for the murder

of tons of officials, and the right doesn't bat an eye.

[Justice Is Comin]

5. 60% or more may rather enjoy it.

[rodeodance]

6. Radio talk (RW)---is a a fix also.

[OwnedByFerrets]

7. As sdon as I heard about this movie,

I said it would be used as repug propaganda. I hate to be right all the time. :sarcasm:

[Niche]

8. It's fiction. Watch it or don't watch it.

[AlCzervik]

11. i give it about another news cycle and that's it.

[StrictlyRockers]

12. Jeeze, it's a movie. Get over it you FREEPER FREAKS!

[rocktivity]

15. I object to the Bush asassination movie, but on an artistic level

I think its main purpose is to generate U.S. sympathy and outrage for Bush. I myself am offended, but not by the fact that it could endanger the President--I'm more concerned with the artistic laziness of the authors.

They couldn't have made an equally effective and convincing movie WITHOUT using the current president's name? Of course, if they had the brains and talent and artistic integrity. Simply slapping Bush's name on the movie turns it into a cheap publicity stunt--and even it if didn't, that ship sailed with Forrest Gump.

The authors of this movie are no better than the guy who has sculpted Britney Spears giving birth, Hillary Clinton topless, and Suri Cruise's poop--would he be getting an ounce of attention if gave his work names like "Idiot Birthing With Hips Elevated"?
