Michael Moore is avowedly anti-Israel and there is no reason why liberals should be allowed to have their point of view in movies but conservatives views not be permitted.  The liberals are more concerned about criticizing Israel and blaming America for 911 while they try and excuse, justify and explain Islamic terrorism that since our 911 has murdered innocent men, women and children in Israel as well as Iraq, England, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, The Phillipines, Fiji, and many other countries.

I am a Democrat and I am voting for Obama but I am tired of the left wing Moore and his supporters blaming Israel and America for all the world’s problems. The rest of the world did nothing when Saddam Hussein was gassing his own people and is doing nothing about Darfur, did nothing about Rwanda, and is doing nothing about Iran getting a nuclear weapon. When Israel went after Hezbollah and had thousands of missiles targeted at its cities the Michael Moore’s of this world criticized Israel. The left wing blames the victims of terror and it’s long past the time when other voices are heard, and yes, there are Democrats like me who are voting for Obama but who are tired of the Israel and America bashing.

The film is actually funny. Watch it first and complain later.

I saw “American Carol” last night at the AMC on Wilshire/Westwood. I laughed so hard I had tears. The audience applauded at the end. Great cast! In particular, I loved Kelsey Grammer as Patton and Jon Voight as George Washington. If you are a hardcore leftist with no sense of humor, you will hate it. But if you have an open mind and liked “Airplane,” “Naked Gun” or Mel Brooks’ flicks, you just might enjoy it.

Mark,

Obama is one of those very liberals you mention who wanted us to “understand” the 911 terrorists. He said they came from “a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair” and then warned us not to discriminate against Muslims.

Obama’s church pastor of twenty years, Jeremiah Wright, coordinated with his pal, Louis Farrakhan and both of them gave speeches (on the same Sunday after 911) blaming 911 on America’s relationship with Israel.

Obama’s advisers (like David Bonior and Joseph Cirincione), and his running mate, Joe Biden are all against a military strike on Iran’s nuclear reactors and for pressuring Israel to give up its nuclear weapons. In fact, the Israelis reported that Biden told them Israel should get used to the idea of a nuclearized Iran.

Obama’s former adviser, Bob Malley had to resign because he got caught meeting with Hamas. Another, Zbigniew Brzezinski (hates Israel, used to work for Jimmy Carter) traveled to Damascus in February. Yet another former adviser, Samantha Power (she had to resign because she called Hillary a “monster”) came right out and said the next President should risk “alienating” the American Jewish community and instead of sending billions of dollars to Israel, invest it in the new Palestinian state.

So Mark, why exactly are you voting for Obama?

This just in:

Do you understand what a remarkable thing this is?

Three Jews sat down and tried to come up with a way to defend Christianity in a major film. That probably hasn’t happened since Ben Hur. What a day this is!

There is a major charity dedicated to bringing Jews and Christians together and channeling Christian money to Jews in need. Christian ministers are being excoriated in the press for supporting Israel too fervently.

And now we have secular Hollywood Jews, working actively to defend us!

Is that what this film does? Defend Christianity? Or defend extreme right-wing GOP ‘values’?
