A Film, Gone With the Wind, Now Under Assault for Confederate Imagery;

RUSH: Did you see the movie critic for the New York Post? The New York Post is supposed to be a conservative paper, if it's anything, and the movie critic there is a guy named Lou Lumenick, I'm not sure how he pronounces it. Anyway, he said in a piece that ran last night -- actually I think it's in today's paper -- that the movie Gone With the Wind is a national embarrassment and needs to be banned from television and movie theoretical release and available to be seen only in museums.

Now, there's some black actors that won an Oscar in that movie. Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar. It was the first role for many of them. Many people in Hollywood think it's the greatest movie ever. But this bandwagon critic really wants to score points here with the inertia that's in motion, "Yeah, let's ban that movie to a museum. Yeah, right on." All it takes is somebody making a prediction and others who want to be thought of the same way. "Yes, it's a wonderful thing, Justin, I think I could easily concur and agree with that." Rather than, "Are you crazy?" Why are we so afraid?

We fixed it. We went to war. More people died in the Civil War to fix and correct -- I guess what's so frustrating is all of this is taking place, the assumption that there have been no changes since the days of this country's founding, that it's just as bad as it's always been.

[LibsRJerks]

Gee, let’s just ban all books while we’re at it.

These people are just completely insane.

[Theodore R.]

Insanity is what the American people endorse time and time again.

“I never thought I’d live to see the day that a president of the United States would raise an army to invade his own country.”

There’s more truth in that book, and movie, than in all the history books in all the classrooms in the country.

[DJ Taylor]

Gone with the Wind, no.

We,in the South, are beginning to experience “Reconstruction” as it was faithfully depicted in the 1915 movie “Birth of a Nation.”

[Sasparilla]

Hey, lets burn the book too!!!

Hey, lets burn the book too!!!

As me granpop would say: Tough noogies ....we got ours.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Comparing libs to book burning nazi’s isn’t any stretch IMHO.

They want to rewrite and replace real history with fake lies that make everybody feel good.

This attack is a direct attack at Southern Conservatives. I have zero lineage to the Antebellum South as my direct relatives fought under Grant at Vicksburg, but this is where it’s going.

[equaviator]

It will be the snap heard ‘round the world!

[crusadersoldier]

They can blow it up just like the Taliban did to those “offensive” buddha statues. Same mentality.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

There have been demands on a certain leftist web site to blow Stone Mountain up. Kind of like ISIS and the Taliban destroy ancient statues.

[Charles Martel]

They can blow it up just like the Taliban did to those “offensive” buddha statues.

They can try.

[FlipWilson]

As I recall, Gone With the Wind” was also a book. What I think needs to happen here is that we gather every copy and have a march to honor our glorious leader. It can culminate on the mall in DC where we will burn these and other offensive books and merchandise. We can even make it a night time event and can carry torches!!! We can sing songs to our glorious leader. It would be a one of a kind event that has never ever been done before anywhere.

[Carl Vehse]

Let’s get rid of leftist demonicrats. Nuremburg-style indictments, trials, convictions and sentencing for crimes against humanity, abortion, and treason should do it. Public hangings should be carried out.

Pay per view and lottery tickets to be one of the executioners should easily recoup the costs of indictments through the rope.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Gee, a movie about the Civil War as it happened in the South. Guess they will have to edit it to show only the American/Union Flag and the Green Party Flag.

Men, load those cannons with broccoli and shell them damned Yankees!

[grania]

I repeat myself. People with an agenda to destroy you should never be given an opening. It's been perhaps irreversibly out-of-control since last autumn when those protests were allowed to disrupt traffic and other activities.

The elite won't give a damn until it affects them.
