Don't Be Fooled By "Satire' Label - Label It For It Is
19 February 2007
Not much as changed, regarding Tim Robbins, his left-wing extremism and his inability to articulate. I recently saw him interviewed and all he could answer - to reporter who asked him a serious question - was, "Well, YOU join the Army!" The man is a typical ultra-Liberal of the last decade: full of hate and insults, but no solutions to anything.

Never better was that presented in this lame so-called "satire," which was just another vehicle for a Hollywood Loony Left-winger to expunge his hatred of conservatives, Republicans, Christians, etc. Robbins has the conservative Republican political candidate as a little bit below Neanderthal status. Yup, that ignorant right-winger is a liar, a thief, racist, homophobic, nasty, mean, corrupt and who knows what else. (Little did Robbins know he was describing today's Democratic candidates to a tee!)

Robbins tries to disguise his heavy-handed attempts at doing nothing but ingratiating himself with the Liberal Hollywood bigwigs with some folksy songs and says all of this is just a "satire." Puh-leeze. It's obvious what the intent of the film was, and it wasn't for lighthearted laughs. If nothing else, the casting of Gore Vidal tells you something. He's not even an actor, but being a left-wing icon, he gets a role.

One thing this movie did well: it gave us a prime example of Hollywood and its extreme political leanings and bias.....and total disdain for the American viewing public, which appropriately turned thumbs down on this propaganda piece.
