Fred Thompson goes to the movies
Over at Pajamas Media, former U.S. Senator, actor, and possible presidential candidate Fred Thompson comments on the movie "300" exclusively at Pajamas Media and true to form, he brings his comments in at fewer than 300 unminced words:
The Iranians have filed a flurry of complaints with the United Nations, claiming "300" is "cultural and psychological warfare." Who are these guys who are getting all flushed over our cultural insensitivity?Thompson broadens his critique of Iran's response to "300" to take backhanded but well-deserved shots both at the government's public relations efforts and at Hollywood:People who want to blow Jews off the face of the earth. The regime that stormed our embassy in 1979 and kept Americans captive for 444 days. Iran’s Hezbollah puppets have killed more Americans, than any other terrorist group except Al Qaeda. Explosive devices from Iran are being used right now against our soldiers in Iraq. They’re clearly more skittish about cultural warfare than the sort that actually kills people – like the one against Israel that Iran financed just a few months ago.
I must say that I’m impressed that Hollywood took on a politically incorrect villain. Must have run out of neo-Nazis. So now these sensitive souls in Iran think that Hollywood is part of a U.S. government conspiracy to humiliate them into submission. I can only wish we were that effective.
