This hit piece shows the typical moral cowardice of the Left, focusing on incidents from the ancient history of their opponents and ignoring the bloody work of those they support and condone.

If you google the movie’s web site, you will see that it has an Aug.24/07 release date. That is only one week away and yet rottentomatoes.com has not yet posted a single critics review of the movie.
However, there is a notation on the movie’s home page that says the the film is currently being screened for the consideration of, “potential distributors”. I take this to mean that the film may never be distributed in the theaters, being either too bad a movie or it is considered too politically motivated - given Romney’s presidential aspirations. I will venture a guess that it will quietly go directly into the video stores.

“This hit piece shows the typical moral cowardice of the Left, focusing on incidents from the ancient history of their opponents and ignoring the bloody work of those they support and condone.”

Actually, it’s not really ancient history. History, yes. Ancient, no. And if it wasn’t for what Hollywood has done to the movie culture, I’d consider it a good premise for a movie.

Unfortunately, the average person has been trained to hold whatever opinion a movie presents: hate what the movie says is bad, love what it says is good. This means that the average idiot who watches the movie will immediately hate Mormons because they’re horrible, awful people. That’s the power of Hollywood today.

That’s the reason I wish this movie wasn’t being made. The majority of people cannot watch a movie like this and take away from it that it’s a historical event that they are learning about. Instead, they get a message that all Mormons are evil.

Is this a hit piece? That’s up for debate. Is it politically motivated? Possibly. Is the timing coincidental? Absolutely not. Will I watch it? Absolutely. And when I do, you can expect me to jump on here and rant about it, because that’s what I do.

Yeah, isn't it overwhelming and overkill when Hollywood elects to do one movie over almost a century on the original 9/11 act of terrorism in this country.
