Naomi Wolf Compares 'Zero Dark Thirty' Filmmaker to Nazi Propagandist Leni Riefenstahl
Big Hollywood ^ | 6 Jan 2013, 7:35

The Left's battle against "Zero Dark Thirty" continues, but this time the Oscar-winning director of the film is being called far worse than an apologist for "torture." A trio of senators previously critiqued the minds behind the movie, detailing the hunt for Osama bin Laden, for daring to suggested enhanced interrogation tactics helped nab the terrorist leader.

Now, progressive critic Naomi Wolf is comparing Bigelow to the Nazis' premier propagandist.

In a time of darkness in America, you are being feted by Hollywood, and hailed by major media. But to me, the path your career has now taken reminds of no one so much as that other female film pioneer who became, eventually, an apologist for evil: Leni Riefenstahl. Riefenstahl's 1935 Triumph of the Will, which glorified Nazi military power, was a massive hit in Germany. Riefenstahl was the first female film director to be hailed worldwide....Like Riefenstahl, you are a great artist. But now you will be remembered forever as torture's handmaiden.

The clock is still ticking on apprehending those who killed our ambassador in Libya. Brakbrak swore he’d get the ones responsible to pay for their actions.

How’s that manhunt going? Oh wait, no Bush-era intelligence to draw from.

“Now, progressive critic Naomi Wolf is comparing Bigelow to the Nazis’ premier propagandist.”

Two thoughts:

-Glad to see Goddard’s Law holds as true as ever.

-Camille Paglia once said something to the effect of “Naomi Wolf is the poster child for everything that is wrong in Ivy League education today.” Can’t say I disagree with her.

Sometimes menopausal women get a little hysterical.

Naomi Wolf is one of Joe Biden’s favorite three letter words, “NUTS”. Pure and simple, leftist ahole par excellance.

She should be so lucky as to get as much as F*king Fluke gets (which could include the most of the Georgetown Un. Law School). That would explain why she needed $3,000 for contraceptives. Her boyfriend would only cost about $1.50.
