I really despise aintitcoolnews.com (more specifically, the red-headed fat geek) - but I go there every day.
Glad to see someone else goes swimming in the bilge :)

Southern California PING!"...I’m a Hollywood Republican, goddamit!
And it turns out that I’m not the only one. This weekend, at the first annual LIBERTY FILM FESTIVAL in Los Angeles, I discovered a sold-out theater full or non-liberal film geeks, studio execs, actors, writers, directors, agents, and cute Bushies..."

In Hollywood, a Film Festival That's Rated GOPBy William Booth
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, October 4, 2004; Page C01
-- snip --Billed as the first conservative film festival in Hollywood, the three-day affair showcased comic shorts, one about the "ultimate minority" in Tinseltown ("Greg Wolfe: Republican Jew"), an epic homage to Ronald Reagan and his battle against Soviet communism ("In the Face of Evil") and a snappy doc on tart-tongued commentator Ann Coulter ("Is It True What They Say About Ann?"), in which Coulter signs the T-shirt of a leftie college student with the words "Have fun in Guantanamo!"

Ron Smith, an activist with the conservative Web site Freerepublic.com, sat for the whole festival in the front row. "I'll give this to Michael Moore," he says. "He created a chain reaction. We have to thank him for that." He agreed that the anti-Moore, pro-Bush films were slow out of the gates, "but I'll tell you, this is just the beginning. We've got the Internet and talk radio and now we've got films. This is just a dry run. It'll be better next time around."For more information on the films screened, go to www.libertyfilmfestival.com.CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Entertaining read and a lot of good points, although he obviously has 'issues' regarding Christians. I wonder if there are any film festivals like this around San Diego.

Documentary Film: "WMD – The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein" ^ | 10/4/2004 | BRAD L. MAASKE, Victor Davis Hanson
Posted on 10/05/2004 2:00:40 PM PDT by Drago
The liberal bias toward the war in Iraq was one thing. Then came a propaganda piece that did more to line the pockets of a radical filmmaker than to tell the truth. That’s when Brad Maaske, a conservative businessman from the agricultural heart of California, decided enough was enough.
It was time for a documentary that told the truth about the human toll and terror under the personally guided regime of Saddam Hussein. WMD: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein offers a balanced view of the real Iraq, before, during and following the military involvement of the United States and its allies. WMD provides an objective report for Americans to consider prior to going to the polls in November.
Co-producer of WMD is Iraqi film director Jano Rosebiani, known most recently for the documentaries, “Mass Graves of Saddam Hussein” and “Chemical Ali.” Never before seen footage of the atrocities perpetrated in Iraq, the chemical attacks and interviews with survivors provide a riveting testimony for the justification of war and military support during reconstruction.
Exclusive interviews and expert analysis of the current geopolitical situation are provided, including an in-depth interview by Victor David Hanson, author of eleven books, including “The Western Way of War”, “An Autumn of War” and “ Between War & Peace.”
Theatrical exhibition in all major markets and a massive DVD release will follow.

MOVIE REVIEW: IN THE FACE OF EVIL
Doug from Upland, FreeRepublic.com
Oct. 4, 2004
The Liberty Film Festival was a remarkable event held in West Hollywood, the backyard of the liberal elite. Experienced and new producers provided entertainment for an activist and very eager conservative audience. It is the audience that Hollywood has not only disregarded, but also insulted.
One of the standout movies of the weekend was IN THE FACE OF EVIL. For those on the left who have denigrated and mocked Ronald Reagan, this epic documentary is the answer that sets the record straight. Steve Bannon’s work is destined to be remembered as the definitive work on the man whose 45-year mission was to destroy the greatest evil of the 20th Century...

IN THE FACE OF EVILReagan’s War in Word & Deed is a man and nation’s journey through the heart of darkness—and what that journey means for us today. This film is not a biography of Ronald Reagan, but a hard-hitting look at leadership and moral courage. Based on Peter Schweizer’s acclaimed bestseller, Reagan’s War, the new feature-length documentary film, In the Face of Evil chronicles the brutal conflict between totalitarianism and freedom as seen through Ronald Reagan’s forty-year confrontation with Communism.

To compare Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants, personally, even if you disagree with the sect, but as individuals to BS, and even neo-Nazis, and then to excrement and filth, suggests that this author is not the sort the GOP really needs.
...so we take our "Republican" supporters as we can get them. :o)We can worry about CONVERTING them - later.

MOVIE REVIEW - WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN

MOVIE REVIEW
WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN
Brad Maaske/Jano Rosebiani
Perhaps the most powerful and emotional film at the recent Liberty Film Festival in West Hollywood, California was WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN.
Filmmakers Brad Maaske and Kurdish/American Jano Rosebiani have provided the world with long overdue heart-wrenching visual evidence that millions of human beings were living a literal hell on earth. How ironic. Hell in the Cradle of Civilization.
Men, women, and children were beaten, tortured, gassed, imprisoned, and murdered in unspeakable ways. Tens of thousands simply disappeared and were never seen by their families again. Those who survived live with incomprehensible physical and/or mental anguish.
The death of innocents may total as high 1.3 million. While the United Nations supervised the notorious “Oil for Food” program, criminals and thugs made millions of dollars. As many as 3 million children died because of lack of food, medicine, and medical care. The world did not do that. The United States did not do that. Saddam Hussein did that. He kept perhaps $10 billion dollars for himself while letting the children die.
Rosebiani provided footage from Iraq possessed by no other filmmaker in the world. The voiceovers were not even necessary. We could look into people’s eyes and souls and feel what they were saying.
Let the sanctions work? Let the sanctions work? Are you kidding? No one who watches this film will again tolerate those who tell them that the sanctions were working. Sorry, that it ludicrous and insulting.
God bless America and its allies. They are not the coerced or bribed as a particular disingenuous presidential candidate calls them. God bless those dedicated brave men and women who continue to confront evil in Iraq. Bribed and coerced? Not on your life. They are heroes.
There are no finer heroes in the world than the Americans who volunteered, left comfort at home, and risk their lives everyday so that others may enjoy the freedom that too many of us take for granted. They are in both military gear and civilian clothing.
After 12 years and 17 resolutions, Hussein was still playing games with the world. Victor Davis Hanson provided remarkable insight about the United Nations and why it is incapable of solving any of the world’s problems. Their goal appears to be little more than trying to attack, embarrass, and humiliate the United States. China is on the Security Council. Syria and Libya are on particular human rights committees. There is something very wrong with that picture.
Operation Iraqi Freedom indeed shocked and awed the world. In less than three weeks, Baghdad was taken. It was the greatest modern military marvel.
WMD contains a great deal of powerful footage from September 11, 2001. Only a short three years later, far too many Americans seem to have forgotten. They seem not to realize that we are in a world war that will likely continue for a very long time. It is almost painful to watch some of the man on the street interviews in which those who loathe our president are staggeringly ignorant of history and world affairs. For those who refer to our president as a Nazi, I ask you, what word is left for Hitler? What word do you use for the real Nazis?
If anyone did not shed a tear at the end of the film when the story of a soldier named Daniel Unger was told, they are without feelings. Unger was from Maaske’s hometown of Exeter, California. His heroic actions saved Iraqi lives but cost him his own. Unger’s parents are devastated but spoke on camera and exhibited a rare courage and pride for what their son had done. Knowing their son, they would have been shocked if he had been anything other than a hero.
WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN must be seen by those who question why we went to war in Iraq. It might not change the minds of the most rabid Bush haters who are filled with hate because of their political agenda, but it will change the hearts and minds of those who have hearts and minds.
