LANGUAGE WARNING ON OPENING (NSFW) ***

A savage commentary on the American far right using the Westboro Baptist Church at least to some degree as its template this is a story of American conservatism gone horribly wrong. It looks to be edgy, disturbing stuff and if the film lives up to this teaser then Smith may very well have just reinvented himself. Check it below.

Typical LSM bias insanity from the Hollywood libs.

Barf.

Westboro Baptist Church is counter protested by CONSERVATIVES!

Why doesn’t this no-talent hack really try to do something edgy and profile the radical left?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Why do we never hear about THE FAR LEFT Commie’RATS? You know, the ‘RATS like Barry, Harry and Nancy and their band of corrupt commie criminals running the current, anti-American congress.

The folks at Westboro are typical Leftwingtard Democrats ~ the old man was an Algore delegate at a Presidential convention.

I'd say the producer/director here has demonstrated conclusively that he's lost his marbles.

Is that how Gay Blades "reinvent" themselves ~ with no little round things getting in the way of a fast di-di outta' here.

Where’s net neutrality for Hollywood?

Phelps is a democrat.

WHO FINANCES WESTBORO?

[rollo tomasi]

Association with the Westboro Baptist Church. Hmm, there are plenty of "Red State'ers" who picket military funerals with 'God Hates Fags' signs.

Comedy/ridicule come across well with close association, not wayward, sloppy hyperbole. Totalitarian collectivists bred from group think will eat this stuff though (Which I guess are Smith's goal, get rich while keeping clueless idiots ignorant).

[peggybac]

Yeah, those right wing Westboro folks.

[jospehm20]

The Phelps family are big time ‘Rats.

[arthurus]

Westboro is hardly conservative. Their views and positions other than their apparent extreme anti-homosexualism are, I believe, more compatible with the Left. Because they make a big show of being crazy the MSM and Hollywood, of course, assign them a role as exemplary of the Right.

[Cicero]

Tiresome.

Actually, he unwittingly has profiled the radical left...the Westboro baptist people...the leader for for governor as a democrat, and it's easy to find photos of him with Algore.

As someone pointed out, the conservatives counter protest AGAINST the westboro idiots.

“Edgy” and “disturbing” means courageous and inventive in Hollywood-speak. But it usually is the same old liberal trash and filth.

Only in Hollywood do pampered, privileged millionaires think themselves courageous.

Tighter links could be found between Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge and the American Democrat Party, than between Christian conservatives and the WBC.

[silverleaf]

Westboro Baptists just go to show what happens when a religion of peace is hijacked by a few extremists ...

[pallis]

Westboro Baptist Church is a covert tool of the DNC, and it is neither Christian or conservative. Quite the opposite. Any investigative reporter worth minimum wage would know that, but another DNC tool wouldn’t care.

[infidel29]

The Westboro Baptist Church is neither Right wing, Christian nor conservative.

Just for laughs why not make a movie about Cher starring a really big, tall, fat, chinese guy with red hair?

Am I the only one who thinks Kevin Smith is one of the most overrated directors of all time? I enjoyed Clerks well enough, but Jersey Girl? Dogma? Pee-EWW!
