To paraphrase Lincoln, you can fool slightly less than half the people some of the time, but eventually they get sick of your overweight, sorry ass, and you wind up having your show cancelled and looking for work for the very first time in your life.

I'm sorry, why is this movie critic writing professionally published pieces on electoral politics?

If he wants to spew nonsense on subjects beyond his bailiwick, let him get a blog, like everyone else in the world.

Are these people still in Florida 2000? Perhaps they should take the advice of their own propaganda website and MOVE ON! Sheesh, we are into 2005 almost now!

GOP won by planting seeds of deception

I suggest this title as 'bogus garbagus'.  Anyone who understands Darwinian notions would readily realize that it is not about 'planting the seed' but rather what was killed or eaten as to allow the seed to mature and drop in the first place.  

Bush became the "winner" of a dead heat, in the midst of an incomplete recount

Nature does not recount anything, it is the sum of the parts.

"Ann Coulter accused the Democrats of being "delusional nutcases," called the Florida Supreme Court "power-mad lunatics," and found that the Democrats had crossed the "fine line" between "typical Democrat lies and demonstrably psychotic behavior."

That sounds about right. What film is this Roger is talking about? When did he become a political pundit. The Dems. were far more active about floating false memes. Republicans pretty much just had to sit back and watch them implode. I don't understand how Rober can see this.

Bullshit. Gotta call bullshit.

61 million Americans shouted down Michael Moore, Roger Ebert, Bruuuuuce "pissing on the flag" Springsteen, Noam Choad Comsky, Ralph Nader, Dan Ratherbiased, Petah Jennings, et al....


The Rats tried to pull the wool over Americans' eyes with lies about a non-existent draft and other Goebbels inspired poppycock (BS).

Pull my post. I don't care. Horseshit needs to be called out as such. Roger Ebert is a "progressive" socialist and turns thumbs down on movies he doesn't agree with politically even though he "claims" that he would never do such.

Ex-Porn Film Screenwriter Roger Ebert Pans Christian Movie Review Site

Washington, DC - In a recent newspaper column Q&A, film reviewer Roger Ebert responded to a question from a filmgoer who was deeply offended by movie reviews produced by the Child Care Action Project (CAP), a Texas-based ministry headed by Thomas A. Carder. The filmgoer said that CAP is "the most insulting movie site on the Web. Their lust for demeaning a film solely on its content (violence, sex, profanity) is annoying." Ebert agreed. He noted that "At www.capalert.com, few films seem innocent" and recommended another movie review site that offers "sane advice" about movies. Ebert apparently considers it "insane" for a Christian movie review site to consider profanity, explicit sex, and anti-Biblical messages in its analysis of films.

CAP provides what may be the most thorough analysis of films available on the Internet. Carder carefully analyzes each film to give parents a detailed overview of objectionable content. Parents can then make up their own minds about what films their children may see. Carder's site can help parents pinpoint films that may seem innocent on the surface, but that contain messages or images that violate the Christian beliefs of those parents.

It is not surprising that Roger Ebert would be immune from concerns over explicit sex, violence, anti-Christian messages, or profanity in movies. Ebert was a screenwriter in the 1970s for Russ Meyer, one of the pioneers of mainstream pornographic films.

Ebert wrote the screenplay for Meyer's "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls," a sexually explicit film that ends with a bloody Charles Manson-like massacre. He also penned "Vixens," "Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens," and "Up." Writing under a pseudonym for "Up," Ebert created a pornographic film that featured a violent double rape scene that was apparently too disturbing even for Meyer's hard-core followers.

Given Ebert's love of pornography and violence, it would seem far more appropriate for concerned parents to consult the Child Care Action Project for movie reviews, than to depend upon Ebert for allegedly "sane" reviews of today's films. Ebert has obviously been desensitized to the point where he cannot clearly distinguish between right and wrong or good and evil. It is disheartening to think that so many filmgoers depend upon his advice for what they will see. Fortunately, CAP and Ted Baehr's www.movieguide.org web site offer other movie review options for parents.
