"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

This is the wrong hill to die on. Kill Bill was a spoof. An homage film. The violence was purposely exaggerated for effect.

Perfect! Sen. Cruz knows that Alinsky’s tools work both ways, and what better way to show the hypocrisy of Hollywood than to use their own creations against them.

This is the wrong hill to die on. Kill Bill was a spoof. An homage film. The violence was purposely exaggerated for effect. The analogy was spot-on. Even if the film was a spoof, the cited scene with swordplay was ultra-violent - yet no one watching it would be so stupid as to call for "knife control."

He also was the executive producer of: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Inglourious Basterds, and Grindhouse. There’s plenty of gun violence in each of those movies. He has no problem profiting off of gun violence, yet wants to make a propaganda movie about the NRA. Hypocrisy be thy name.

So -
the left's "outrage" is purposely exaggerated for effect. Ban knives!!
The bigger point here is that wise guy Weinstein - and all of the leftist anti-gun hypocrites - protect themselves with armed security, yet they want to take away our right to protect ourselves.

Agree totally. Tarantino's "ninja/samauri" phase was the low point of his career. The only good part of Kill Bill was the Japaneese girl band singing the "whoo-whoo" song.
To: facedown
I agree. Who cares if Weinstein is a hypocrite. It’s more important to know that he’s a depraved idiot. His opinion on the constitution should be ignored.

I saw the claim of hypocrisy on FoxnFriends this morning, I think it was. I agree with that, but there’s a bit of me that says it’s a wrong-headed argument.
Because Weinstein uses violence then he shouldn’t gripe about gun-owners who also use violence.
That’s not true. Gun-owners do not glorify violence, by and large. They are trained, thoughtful, and have an excellent record in only using their weapons when protecting life.
Comparing ourselves to gratuitous violence is not solid ground to stand on.
The argument should be: we do not advocate violence, but this guy advocates gratuitous violence.

IMHO that actually makes it better as an example.
It’s not just that Harv is presenting gratuitous violence, he’s doing so as a joke. Conclusion: Harv thinks gratuitous violence is a joking matter.

Will you add me to your Cruz ping list, please?

As of this morning when I last check my voice mail, Harvey had not called asking for my opinion so, I don’t need his either.
