Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were one of the leftists from Democratic Underground. When someone quotes something critical of Republicans along the line of "Republicans are racists" or "Republicans are Nazis," and when that person just signed on to Free Republic that same day, we often assume the person is left-winger trying to cause trouble. I didn't know you were disagreeing with Ebert's statement.

I apologize.

Ebert is perhaps the best known and most influential movie critic in the country. When he starts a review of a movie with these words, I see it as something far more serious than when some illiterate, who does not even know the true meaning of the word, calls his opponents nazis.
