Its popular these days for conservatives to criticize the defender of the poor and the oppressed, Robin Hood. Hood, they say, is nothing more than a socialist pretending to be a hero. He is, if you will, Karl Marx with a bow and couple of arrows. He steels from the wealthy and gives to the poor. Its socialism in action, or so many contemporary conservative commentators argue.
Although I understand it that conservatives automatically oppose all those who dare redistribute wealth (or appear to), they are sorely mistaken to do so with Hood. Dismissing him as a Marxist is ludicrous and counterproductive; the former because he is actually a very American (classically liberal and conservative) hero, the latter because the audience will sympathize with him regardless of the criticism.

I love iron Man 2...dont miss the Obama punchline (wink). That’s why the critics hate it hehe.
Havent seen Robin Hood yet. When the libtard critics compare her to sarah palin, I’d gladly give my hard earned dough to watch it.
I feel silly admitting this, but... I saw IM2 twice, and missed that punchline. In which scene was it?
