Look Who Isn't Talking [Hollywood hypocrisy? I'm shocked!]
OpinionJournal ^ | 11/24/2004 | Bridget Johnson

Since Nov. 2, I've had an icky feeling in the pit of my stomach. As an ardent Bush backer, my queasiness has nothing to do with the glorious election results, but is prompted by a murder that occurred the same day in Amsterdam.

Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh's short film "Submission," about the treatment of women in Islam, written by female Dutch parliamentarian and former Muslim Aayan Hirsi Ali, had aired in August on Dutch TV. Van Gogh was riding his bike near his home when a Muslim terrorist shot him, slashed his throat, and pinned to his body a note threatening Ms. Ali. This appears to be an organized effort, not the act of a lone nut; Dutch authorities are holding 13 suspects in the case.

After the slaying, I watched "Submission" (available online at ifilm.com) and my mind is still boggled that 11 minutes decrying violence against women incites such violence. There've been many films over the years that have taken potshots at Catholics, but I don't remember any of us slaughtering filmmakers over the offense. You didn't see the National Rifle Association order a hit on Michael Moore over "Bowling for Columbine."

It's bad enough that you changed the article's name, but then to hack the spelling to death on top of it is too much.

This has been posted already - under the correct title - a couple of times today at least. Search is our friend.

If your such a dadgum wisenheimer, I googled up "Dead kitties" and came up with some entertaining pictures. How do you post them? A link to freeper bootcamp would be cool. And I already put the phrase through the search gizmo and came up with nada.

Thanks. I mean it.

Don't expect libs to recognize the obvious. Their whole lives have been spent ignoring reality. I haven't gone to a movie in years most Hollyweird product is so awful. Waiting for Hollyweird cocaine sniffing uber-libs to make films showing Islamo-fascist terrorists is an exercise in futility. That would mean they actually love their country. Can't have that. Though I am glad to see Wisconsin native (Shorewood) David Zucker get it.
