Quote from: Scott123An obvious comment from a left-winger

I love it how conservatives always think that "left-winger" is the worst possible insult, and that anyone who doesn't agree with their views is a "left-winger".

Nice try, Scott, but I think THIS is where you belong: http://www.kkk.bz/.

A site for straight, white, male, Baptist, American, God-fearing conservatives!

I love it how some people either must fully be capitalist or socialist.
Like there is a perfect system for humanity and complexities.
Gimmie a break.

YOU refer me to a KKK site and you think I'm a little over the top??? I think it's time for your meds there, Metropolis.

And, also, if there were a South that was its own country, am I expected to believe that a LIBERAL would be living there and owning slaves, in direct counter to his beliefs? Nice try, movie...

Not defending the movie (which from the trailer looks like a good idea badly executed), but I think the point there was that if history had followed a different course, he might not have held the same beliefs, which is reasonable. Sounds like the movie is bad enough that nobody needs to go picking holes in it. I'm not sure I understand all the hostility over a failed political comedy.

And although I agree that some of Scott's comments are inappropriate, he does make one good point. It is ironic that someone would be upset by a "nasty, ugly, mean and unfunny" movie aimed at Michael Moore.

It's less ironic that a post calling someone "hateful" could itself be so full of vitriol. That seems to be the norm these days.

Well, yeah, everyone knows Micheal Moore is a showman.

Common knowlege that not just anyone can go into Cuba on a motorboat and expect treatment, or to even be seen by a doctor. And the whole thing with the validity on Cuba's healthcare has to really be picked apart.

Anyhoo, with the namecalling, liberal/conservative putdowns and assorted hyperbole, this has gone from movie thread to political thread, and is thus open to hijacking under the Menard Convention of 2008.

Here's a dog.

That picture depicts the old Quizno's Subs rat mascot.

By the way, this thread is still about the movie.  You can post as many dog pictures as you want, but you're not going to change that.

Thanks for the permission to post dog photos.

I was under the impression that this thread had turned into pointless bickering and partisan misrepresentations, but if anyone wants to continue discussing the movie, go ahead.

I read a review on a Christian website bashing it for it's crude humor and tasteless jokes. I do think that Hollywood is unfairly left-wing (which I've seen in viewing the most recent episodes of Family Guy), and I wouldn't mind seeing some  satire of that political landscape, but this style of movie is not the way to go about it.
Things could be worse; you could be twins.

Actually, they were around before the Quizno's commercials.

And thanks for responding to a joke as if it were a serious statement. Now I don't know what to think. I mean, if you don't even know a joke when you see one, can you reliably critique a comedy? I must think on this.

Anyway, here's a dog.
