WALL-E: LIBERAL FASCIST

[defrog]

ITEM: Wall-E is a box office smash and a critical success. Unless yr a conservative blogger. Then it’s blatant Communist propaganda:

Shannen Coffin: My kids were bombarded with leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind!

Greg Pollowitz: A 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment! Boycott!

Glenn Beck: If your kid has ever come home and said, “Dad, how come we use so much styrofoam,” oh, this is the movie for you. It's a frickin' global warming movie!

Dirty Harry: Liberal nonsense!

Jonah Goldberg: The Malthusian fear mongering was annoying!

Unless you ask Patrick J. Ford of The American Conservative, in which case it’s actually a pro-conservative film that champions small-town values and warns against the evils of Big Government.

Or, you know, maybe it’s just a f***ing film about a lonely robot in a post-human world.

A radical concept, I know. I’m just saying, odds are that’s how yr fragile, impressionable little children are probably going to interpret it.

Either way, it’s on my to-do list.

Political science,
