Have the hills stopped screaming, Clarice?

He deserves to kill a few left-wing artists for the pure surreal humour points he scores with that.

SnakeLee: These are the people against Sharia Law? Really?

They don't want the brown people horning in on their pie.

*yawn*

Whatever. Allow the stupid people to have their silly little sites full of impotent and misplaced rage. Clicks need not be given, much like farks.

IlGreven: SnakeLee: These are the people against Sharia Law? Really?

They don't want the brown people horning in on their pie.

But they use brown people (illegal aliens) to make their pie.

Liberal artists should not be put to death because conservative artists, by and large, suck.

Can we get some examples going? I'll start

Let me guess soulless Randroid conservatives are incapable of creating any music, literature, cinema worth half a shiat, so they need some lefties around so they have something to watch besides old men ranting and shiatty movies starring Kelsey Grammer?

I've always wondered what it must be like for conservatives to know that their favorite musicians, whose songs they've listened to during break-ups, and weddings, and used as the score for countless home movies of their kids, whose lyrics they've quoted and whose wisdom they've nodded agreement with driving home late at night... what's it gotta be like to know that... if those guys met you, they'd think you were a tool, and a complete farking idiot?

This is the kind of "Art" Pajama's media apparently likes.

THE FINAL HOUR

The Homelanders series of suspense novels for young adults comes to an action-packed conclusion in The Final Hour! Teenager Charlie West went to sleep in his own bed one night only to wake up in a torture chamber where Islamo-fascist terrorists were planning to kill him. Ever since, he's been on the run from both the terrorists and the police. Now he's trapped in a hellishly brutal prison-and time is ticking away toward an unimaginable disaster only he can prevent.

Jake Havechek: I didn't see any glorification of criminals in Bonnie and Clyde. I saw a couple of sociopaths on a crime spree who get gunned down at the end.

Some people cannot distinguish between "protagonist" and "hero".

Seriously, doesn't anybody worry about a political dogma that thinks helping others is a vicious, bad thing?

*Note: These same idiots are perpetually playing the victim and mewling over the injustice of it all, but apparently getting help or helping others is anathema.

/They also still call themselves Christians somehow.

I confused. Which part of the article is everyone so pissy about? Is it just the title? I'm pretty sure that was a joke, more aimed at the attitude of some conservatives rather than liberals. Maybe in poor taste, but conservatives don't exactly hold all the patents on poor taste.

Humor requires two things - empathy and skepticism of authority. Conservatives have neither.

And I have no idea what the title of that piece had to do with the content.

you wonder some stupid shiat, huh?

sigdiamond2000: FTFC:

Klavan cites "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Bonnie & Clyde" as excellent films, but they are both vicious. The Stewart movie is better made, and for that reason is more vicious than is the latter, which is pure leftist propaganda that obviously glorifies criminals as "rebels" against the supposedly capitalist establishment (thus the lingering, slow-motion ambush of Bonnie and Clyde), at a time when FDR's socialist programs were being implemented and perpetuating the Depression. The Stewart movie, however, glorifies selflessness and the "community" and surrendering one's ambition to the needs of others, and ends with an eerie "bail-out" of George Bailey and the Bailey Savings & Loan, eerie because it presages the Obama-Democratic economic policy, with everyone "chipping in" to save George from financial ruin and being arrested for embezzlement.

Wow.

He...he knows "IAWL's" director Frank Capra was a life-long Republican, right? Like I'm sure he knows John Ford, the director who helped define John Wayne's career, was a dirty stinkin' liberal.

Commenter needs to have some kids and STFU.

/actually...don't

They'll probably let Chinese Americans live, too, so they can have nicely pressed dress shirts. See? These guys are thinking ahead!

Onward christian soldiers, murdering people on the other side of the world for whatever reason, every time a crazy republican gets to become president.


/Oh sorry about that, as I forgot to mention south of the United States border and all those people being killed in the drug war to end all drugs that are not pharmaceuticals, that Rush 'lardass' Limbaugh can get and abuse for all eternity.

Erm...

Republicans prefer family films; Democrats like edge. From hundreds of Oscar winners and classics, Republicans were far more likely to name as favorites The Sound of Music and It's a Wonderful Life; Democrats favored Bonnie and Clyde and The Silence of the Lambs. Among recent films, Republicans were likelier to choose Soul Surfer and Secretariat. Democrats? The Social Network, Bad Teacher, and Easy A.

Um, I'm pretty sure Republicans trending toward movies that are old as hell and Democrats going for stuff from slightly later has more to do with the different average ages of the two groups than actual political leanings. I mean, everyone's seen It's a Wonderful Life and Sound of Music and most people even like them, but only one political party is populated almost exclusively by people that were alive and watching movies when they were actually culturally relevant.

As for the "recent" movies, I guess the two sides can come together over their shared taste in really shiatty, half-assed pandering cinema.

//Well, OK, the Social Network did take a brief break from being a third-rate Citizen Kane adaptation to have Justin Timberlake appear out of nowhere and chew the scenery up and spit it out for half an hour, that was worth my eight bucks.

Hey, now. Ronnie was never an A-lister, but his movies were entertaining and watchable. Being unpretentious and being willing to take whatever job will pay you isn't the same thing as sucking, just look at Bruce Campbell.

I'm a generally right wing guy (in the old school Republican-Libertarian sense), but I like getting information from different sources, with different worldviews. I'm a huge fan of NPR and the first website I check every day is the Drudge Report. I'm also a huge fan of podcasts, and have a litany of NPR podcasts I listen to each week. IMHO NPR has a slight leftwards bias.... but is overwhelmingly professional, and the best news service in the United States. Love NPR.

I tried a "Pajamas Media" podcast or two, hoping to get some right-wing perspective mixed into my weekly listening. It... was... horrible. It was somewhere between partisan water carrying and sheer unadulterated idiocy, sprinkled with a light dusting of thinly veiled bigotry. I choked down a few episodes, and pretty quickly I just couldn't do it anymore and deleted that moronic garbage from my list.

Does anyone know of any podcasts from a right-ish slant that are actually any good and won't make me hate myself for giving them the download?

FTA: "Republicans prefer family films; Democrats like edge."

Translation: conservatives like idiotic, conformist crap of the Hayes Office era, where as Liberals like stuff that is fun and thoughtful.

not particularly. Do you sit back and think on how much you loved Commando back in the day and wonder what Arnold would say about your politics? Of course not, that would be farking stupid.

Conservatives have gone full retard.

As an artist and someone who is often called "left wing" or "liberal" (I consider myself a moderate), I would just like to say that I wish these folks a long life...

... a long life filled with all the fear, hate, and impotent rage their miserable lives are already filled with.

LarryDan43:

I hadn't read the book in a while, so I looked up some quotes for fun. Who knew I'd find one about Pajamas Media?

"All these beefy Caucasians with guns. Get enough of them together,looking for the America they always believed they'd grow up in, and they glom together like overcooked rice, form integral, starchy little units."

left-wing artists

That implies that there are (pajamasmedia-style) right-wing artists.
Of any kind.
In any medium.
