Did you even RTFA subtard?

George Will is attacking progressivism by attacking those against the censorship of video games. Will invoked Fred Wertham, the author of the quotes, in his piece. Wertham later recanted.

Fail, bad subby.

Despite the way the subby phrased his headline, I have a feeling this news is a tad out of date...

As usual, George Will has no idea what the hell progressive means.

forget superman. You know who is a dick? spiderman.

At least superman holds down an honest job. All spider man does is take pictures of himself that he stages, and he doesn't even have any real expenses to cover to begin with, since he lives with grandmother.

At least superman has his own apartment and stuff, and has to take lois on dates. All spiderman does is sit at home and be all emo, depriving a real photo journalist of work.

Superman was actually responsible for the decline of the Klu Klux Klan in real life due to the series of radio stories where Superman fought against them.

FTA: "Formerly chief resident in psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, he was politically progressive: When he opened a clinic in Harlem, he named it for Paul Lafargue, Karl Marx's son-in-law who translated portions of "Das Kapital" into French, thereby facilitating the derangement of Parisian intellectuals."

Good God, George Will is such a hack. If you're such an educated writer, George, how come your attacks are suspiciously paralleling the derp that pours from Beck and Palin's mouths?

Really? I saw it as Will pointing out that there is a "puritanical" streak in American Progressive circles that rears its head time to time and places the blame for societal issues on stupid things.(video games, comics, Elvis,etc..) And he has a point. Tipper and Al Gore were arguing for the Adult stickers on CDs when I was a little kid right next to the Family First people. Now, I disagree with Will that the culture warriors all come first from Academia or the Left but he has a point when he shows that it isn't just the conservative moral arbiters who lead the charge against things.

Aunt, grandmother, whatever. My point is, the guy couldn't be bothered to have a real job. Not only was superman a reporter, if I recall, he was a pretty good one, and it wasn't like all of his stories were about superman. Hell, he let lois have those so he could score some tail.

What does spiderman do? He stages pictures of himself for income. You can't even make the defense that he was a halfway decent photographer, because if he was, why would every farking picture be of himself. And who is to say that the.....whoever spiderman farking fought, that flying skateboard guy.....wasn't causing chaos somewhere while spiderman was dicking around with his camera placement so he could get 50 bucks from the local tabloid to score some blow or something.

Wait, a multi-billionaire who can't keep a girlfriend, lives with a teenage male orphan, and spends his free time in tights sliding down a pole and chasing a man covered in makeup might be gay?

I am shocked. Shocked I tells ya.

I just finished reading that yesterday! I would love to see all of those E.C. comics that were both praised and vilified. Assuming any survive (outside of Robert Crumb's collection), maybe images will end up on line some day?

You already said he was emo. Emos don't do blow. Smack, quaaludes, purple drank maybe, but not blow.

Leave it to George Will to twist those who would invoke censorship and limit free speech as "Progressive." Must be a habit he got into defending political contributions as "speech.

I'm sure he'll come around next time he's annoyed about pornography being published or on the internet.
 
2010-11-29 06:17:04 PM
So basically George Will is complaining about some censorship attempts from the 1950's and blaming it on progressives while completely ignoring the American Family Association, the PPC and the Focus on the Family nutbags that are actively working to censor nearly all media today?

Thanks for being awfully selective there George.
