More filth is spewing out of Hollywood, this time in the form of Brian De Palma whose anti-American film “Redacted” debuted at a Venice film festival. The poor f***er couldn’t even wait for Cannes to come around again.
De Palma’s film centers around a fictionalized account (based on actual events) of the rape and murder of a young Iraqi girl by US soldiers. I have not and will not see this film. I know full well that this sensationalized piece of garbage (in the Michael Moore tradition) is aimed at bringing down the war effort and demoralizing our troops even more. De Palma doesn’t even try to hide that fact.
De Palma, 66, whose “Casualties of War” in 1989 told a similar tale of abuse by American soldiers in Vietnam, makes no secret of the goal he is hoping to achieve with the film’s images, all based on real material he found on the Internet.
“The movie is an attempt to bring the reality of what is happening in Iraq to the American people,” he told reporters after a press screening.
“The pictures are what will stop the war. One only hopes that these images will get the public incensed enough to motivate their Congressmen to vote against this war,” he said.
Obviously De Palma has a history of being a first-class, Grade A asshole. Rather than focusing on the good things that American troops have done in Iraq, he chooses to focus on isolated events in order to characterize the US military in a negative light.
I don’t have enough bad things to say about bastards like De Palma. I also am trying as hard as I can to keep this post from being a total profanity-laced diatribe. The fact is that people like De Palma and Moore do not deserve to live in this nation. They should not be entitled to the rights that were guaranteed to them by our men and women who have fought valiantly to secure freedom in the past. They are pathetic losers with an evil agenda.
Sorry to sound angry like a leftist, but I sincerely hope and pray that people like this will rot in the lower rungs of Hell. Only an eternity of perpetual pain and torture will be sufficient for these imbeciles.

Yeah, you’re right, Steve, but don’t question the libs on their commitment and “we support the troops” stance. They get mad that you could even possibly question their stance about the troops.
That’s okay, because the American people know what the deal is with the Hollywood libs!
Also, the troops don’t need some “moving pictures” idiot telling them how to do their job.
Actually, I wrote this post DevilDog. And you’re right. The libs are hypocritical in the fact that they claim to support our troops and then tear them down.
I hope the American people can see through this coordinated farce. Between Hollywood and the “actors” posing as politicians in DC (aka – Dems), they are formidable. I just pray that the American voter sees throuhg the BS.
What group of people have been more indulged by the American people than these cretins? What people demostrate more contempt for the American people than these cretins?
Who do they slam the hardest? Whatever American is handy.
I haven’t crossed into a theatre in maybe ten years. Yup! That’s what I wrote.
In the late 70′s when traitors like Phillip Agee et al were making bucks exposing intelligence operatives around the world many of us (from the field) would only buy used copies.
The royalties. Think of their royalties.
I’ve taken the same stand on Mel Gibson and a few others. Too bad, too. But, I can live with it.
(And, if I want to know if I’d have enyoyed the show, I can read a review written by an apostle of the arts and find out.)
Oh, I was sad to have to give up Mel Gibson. But after his last few tirades, I really felt like a hypocrite if I watched or rec’d him to anyone.
I’ve also sworn off Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon. And now, apparently, Tommy Lee Jones (for his latest anti-war flick). I think I was the last person on earth to find out he was Al Gore’s college room mate.
Of course, Penn has made it easy for me to swear his movies off. They’ve become such over-hyped, over-acted, too-much-message, meaningless hulks that I don’t even really want to see them.
One thing I’d like to remind Hollywood, though. Just because you played a soldier (or CIA operative) in a movie once doesn’t mean you WERE one or give you any real cred to be an “expert” on Larry King Live.
Right AFW. We’re in sync on the same characters. But it’s amazing how these people think that if they play a part – ‘they are it’.
I believe Martin Sheen actually expects to hear “Hail to the Chief” when he enters a hall. The only problem with that crowd out there (that I call ‘Americana’) is that they believe he deserves it.
Well, remember, Caligula made his horse a consul. We have horses asses that expect the same respect.
Philip, my apologies.
AIRFORCEWIFE, you are correct. These guys think they go through their little boot camps before doing a movie and they are instantly a Marine or soldier.
I would love to have 15 minutes with these wannabes and I’d have them crying.
But, DD, They love to cry.
It’s PC mandated in every script.
OH, you mean really cry.
I’d settle to see them stricken with a real fear that isn’t scripted.
I would also like to hear the Hollywood elite response to the fact that so many of the troops certainly don’t FEEL supported by the industry’s actions and words.
Think they can come up with something that doesn’t refer to military as brain dead morons not capable of thinking for themselves?
There’s a phrase that many who abide by twelve-step programs (I’m one among them) are familiar with. “Unconstitutionally capable of being honest…” Thus: Hollywood.
Hollywood fantasy-life has to be enabled. They thrive on being the “terminally unique”. It is the epitome of art to them. They consider the public to be the freaks. Oh, yes, and ‘Americana’
tends to ape them in efforts to identify; fashion, slang, labels, etc.,..etc….voting.
I would never deny the ordeal of actors, or candidates in any other profession, to get to the top. But, playing a saint, a president, a ‘dork’ (even), doesn’t make you one.
A few elude the peer pressure, but not enough to satisfy…….me.
