On the subject of manufacturing legends:

I read somewhere that a movie is being planned about Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson. Wanna bet that it will bomb like Redacted and all of the other leftist fables?

That’s not to say that movies like In The Valley of Elah, Rendition and Redacted are not highly valuable historical tools. Like Birth of a Nation, Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will), The Deer Slayer, Munich, and Full Metal Jacket, these movies provide a valuable glimpse into the sociopathic thought processes of political movements that were quite powerful in their time.

Watching Hollywood – leftist, liberal, progressive Hollywood! – embrace the cause of bloodthirsty fanatics straight out of the Dark Ages who execute suspected homosexuals and keep women in a state of slavery is an event unparalleled in American history. It is, as one author put it, an attempt at the re-primitivization of Man.
