Hollywood's latest John F*ckin' campaign commercial dressed up as a movie. A 2 hour and 15 minute barrage of liberal propaganda. The only thing missing is the notice it was paid for by the DNC. Hopefully voters in November say NO to anti-Republican messages pushed since the beginning of the year in such films as: "[a]fter The Day After Tomorrow (Republicans are precipitating another Ice Age), The Stepford Wives (country-club Republicans are turning their spouses into robots), Saved (born-again Christians are hypocritical bigots) Fahrenheit 9/11 (blame Bush for the World Trade Center) and now The Manchurian Candidate, the brains of audiences are beginning to resemble shirts whose collars are frayed from too many trips to the drycleaners. This November, voters have the chance to show Hollywood the real brainwashing – Hollywood's – didn't take." Its becoming tiresome and insulting to the intelligence of an audience that has had enough of Hollywood trying to disguise its liberal political views as mere entertainment.

And it's usually not even entertaining (unless you want to consider 'laughably stupid' as being 'entertaining')

Great commentary!

To paraphrase Dudley Do-right, I saw it in the movies, it must be true.

You can always rely on the 'beautiful people' of Hollywierd to march,lock step with their Dumbocrat masters.

Even Frank Rich, the dogmatically liberal columnist for The New York Times, admits: "I cannot recall when Hollywood last released a big-budget mainstream feature as partisan as this one at the height of a presidential campaign. That it has slipped into action under the media’s radar, as discreetly as the sleeper agents in its plot, is an achievement in itself. Freed from any obligations to fact, The Manchurian Candidate can play far dirtier than Fahrenheit 9/11." Assuming that’s possible.

Rich also notes that almost everyone connected with the film is a die-hard Democrat, including Meryl Streep (who plays Shaw’s mother and performed at a recent Kerry fundraiser) and Paramount chairwoman Sherry Lansing (a major Democratic donor, as is Sumner Redstone, chairman of Paramount’s parent company, Viacom). Even un-funny man Al Franken, whose anti-conservative diatribes rival Moore’s "documentaries" for sheer shrillness, has a cameo as a cable TV reporter.

Great commentary by Feder. There is no way I was planning to see the remake anyway, and this review should save a lot of people the price of a ticket. Probably won't though.

BTW, Frank Rich will be on with Imus this morning at 7:30. He's wrong on many things but always entertaining.

Sorry, but I saw all types of liberals in this movie: from Meryl's fine portrayal of Hillery (Complete with the necklace), pushing her little man forward; to the pretty boy candidate, wunderkind from war experiences!

When you read about how the Communist Party has endorsed Kerry in a desperate attempt to be rid of Bush, the original film, with its "conservative" senator being backed by Communists, rings far truer today.

Manchurian Global, "a supremely powerful, well-connected, private equity fund," whose directors include Saudi royals, deposed communist dictators, ayatollahs – in short, everyone except Hannibal Lecter in a dinner jacket.

OMG!!! The Carlyle Group!!!!
