Add to that a growing trend of taking gratuitous - and completely senseless - swipes at Republicans at every opportunity.
Saw “The Time Traveler’s Wife” two weeks ago; the Eric Bana character is eventually accidentally shot by the wife’s father, a man introduced as “a Republican who hunts”.
Saw “Julie and Julia” last Friday, and there’s a scene where she gets chastised by her boss for falsely calling in sick. The boss says she should appreciate his leniency, because “if I was a Republican I would have fired you”.
They’re showing trailers for an upcoming Sarah Jessica Parker movie where she ends up in Montana in the witness protection program; Mary Steenbergen, playing local law enforcement, picks up a rifle; Sarah Jessica Parker gasps “It’s Sarah Palin!!”
Face it, anti-Republican bigotry is the only bigotry allowed in this country...and it is pursued with smug vengeance.
"Spoiler Warning" next time, please. Just as a courtesy to some of us that would like to see the film.
Where upon the actor playing Parker's husband pushes her face first into the mud shouting, "Where?, Where!?!?"
No spoiler alert required as this is what we all know would happen!
