Debbie Schlussel's take on “A Mighty Heart” is just a little bit more sane. Okay, much, much more sane and utterly superior to Roger Ebert’s (who I pray will return good health, the show he created and hopefully, better reviews) brainwashed excrement.

Much more actual information in that reveiw. Thanks.

Thanks for the Schlussel review. She needs to be commeded for even writing about such tripe.

“A Mighty Heart” Tripe alert

[BenLurkin]

A revealing review by her indeed!

The problem with the film is that the Jolie-Pitts do have judgment--against us and not the terrorists or their Islam--and that they have very selective understanding--lenience only for those, ie., Muslims, who hate Jews and hate Americans, looking for that tiny fringe of moderation that's barely on the far, outer margin.

The problem is not with whether or not Mariane Pearl hates those who butchered her husband to death or whether those who helped investigate it were a tiny number of Muslim friends and police who don't represent the dominant anti-Semitic, pan-terrorist thought on the Muslim street.

The problem is that those who butchered her husband were dominated by hate and that they are Muslim. And a propaganda film whitewashing that by a beautiful actress and her metrosexual boyfriend won't make them hate us any less or make Islam any less extremist.

If your heart is so big that your head is buried in the sand, it's not "A Mighty Heart." It's a weak heart, soon to be in cardiac arrest.
