So the Hallmark Channel started showing “Triumph of the Will”?

You have to feel sorry for Amanda. She must have an awfully unfulfilling life.

Amanda needs to head back to Skankville .... anyone who invokes ‘fascist propaganda’ has utterly no clue wtf it truly is.....nothing more than nonsensical ideological BS rhetoric, highly common among libtard progressive ‘tolerant’ jackasses.

Someone elsewhere on the web called Amanda and her ilk "Clickbait Serfs."

I think it describes her well.

The same skank that called any Duke Lacrosse supporter white scum. She’s ripe for a lawsuit across the bow. A brush back pitch.

Salon’s politics writer Amanda Marcotte has been putting 110% into being the Grinch this Christmas. On Christmas day, she followed up her attack on Christians who wish each other “Merry Christmas,” by directly comparing Hallmark Channel Christmas specials to Nazi propaganda.

Salon, like many websites, is engaged in a sort of clickbait war. They push ever more absurd stories, not because they believe them, but they think if they’re outrageous enough it will drive traffic to the website. It results in ever more absurd stories being pushed, all desperate for attention.

I'd not heard that term before. It describes her and this sort of story perfectly..

Hallmark, Hallmark über alles, über alles in der Welt.

Just wait until next year when AMC becomes their lebensraum and we get the sickly sweet Walking Dead Hallmark Christmas.

“ the majority of movies approved by the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, were escapist and feather-light, with a Hallmark movie-style emphasis on the importance of ‘normality.’”

Really? TITANIC (1943) Not a bad movie if you overlook the small amount of nazi propaganda.

I guess some homo doesn’t like normal women and Christmas.

Most of them are done on the cheap with unknown actors and filmed in Canada. All that snow fits in quite well as well. They are well disguised but those with sharp eyes can spot the tell tale signs of a great white north production.

Hallmark Christmas movies represent normality. There was a time when most people thought and acted like the people in the movies. Leftists can’t stand normality.

They are not propaganda. But they are tepid, schmaltzy and boring as hell.
