Brian DePalma, Mark Cuban, et al, have directed and produced a libelous piece of trash called "Redacted." This fictional "film" tells of the rape and murder of a young Iraqi girl by U.S. Soldiers. This filth is supposed to show the true nature of the "criminal" war in Iraq - or so the director, producer and MSM would have us believe. Tell you what DePalma and Cuban - why don't you get your pampered, elitest butts over to Iraq and see what's really happening? I've tried to write Cuban in care of the Dallas Mavericks, which he owns, but to...

"It is a slander on the United States of America." ... "Everyone associated with this film ought to be ashamed." ... "Will it inspire future terrorists? Of course it...

Well I am sitting here seeing what is totally worthless to watch on HBO this evening and what pops up on HDNM(subscription hi def)but "Redacted" the new Brian DePalma - Mark Cuban agitprop movie. Scheduled for 9:15 pm or so CST. I won't be watching. But it unbeleivable the effort that Hollywood will go to in order to get its anti-American trash before an audience. Bet O'Reilly is not aware of this preemptive showing as he has been all over Cuban and DePalma for this cinematic abortion for some time now. I am cancelling Direct TV myself over this deal.

De Palma's film, "Redacted," is based on the true story of a group of U.S. soldiers who raped and killed a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and murdered members of her family. It has stunned audiences for its shocking images and rattled American conservative commentators before its U.S. opening next month.

Imagine telling the story of World War II through the eyes of a victim of rape at the hands of U.S. soldiers among those liberating France. Would that be an accurate, truthful, contextual account of the war against fascism? Of course not.

That's all you need to know about "Redacted,"...

Brian DePalma was born on SEPTEMBER 11, 1940. Brian DePalma has decided to do what most liberals are afraid to do and that is to tell the truth about who they are and what they believe. Liberals hate the American soldier. Liberals hope for more dead troops if it results in their gaining power. Liberals will lie repeatedly in order to get their way. Liberals pretend to support the troops as they call their performance in Iraq a failure. Liberals only find value in reporting on troops in Iraq when their either DIE or 'SCREW UP'. The Daily DEAD FAILURE...
