"the X-Men sequel, X-2: X-Men United, aimed at youth, that portrays the U.S. military as Nazis"

Huh? I saw the flick and didn't get that impression. Besides the soliders used weren't even US military but rather a secret paramilitary force.

Haven't seen the movie, but that part sounded a bit ridiculous. It's fiction about super-powered muants after all. Anyway portraying a hypothetical tyrany in a fictional world is hardly the same as saying America is evil. In fact it could be presented as a warning against becoming so.

"there is one kind of hate speech that the left not tolerates but embraces, supports and promotes -- speech that encourages hatred of America."

This is also true for the person who is "jes fine" to be vilified -- that being a "WHAM," a white, hetero-sexual, able-bodied, male. The people who meet those criteria are riduculed in every network program, every commercial, etc., etc.
