300 is a success, but there’s liberals and a surpr…

300, the new movie adapted from Frank Miller’s graphic novel from the late 1990s, has scored a remarkable success at the box office with at least 70 million dollars. I wonder if it has anything to do with Miller’s patriotic standings. I have no idea,…

I’m happy to hear that my HotAir brothers and sisters liked this movie and that the libs and jihadists didn’t. (Yes, Reuben, they ARE always on the same side!) I was kinda skepticle at first, thinkin’ it was gonna be just another bait ‘n switch movie, like that piece of crap “Kingdon of Heaven”. I haven’t seen a real “We’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys” movie since “True Lies” and “The Great Raid”. Lookin’ forward to seeing “300″ … uh, anybody wanna babysit?

This guy missed a really strong opportunity. He should have praised it, saying that yes, the Persians were really awful and decadent before they were conquered by called to Islam. Ah well, too late now.

But you fail to realize something. Apparently, Iranians are the most egomaniacal people the world has ever known. They don’t think of themselves as the decendants of the Persian Empire, they think they are the Persian Empire.

Basically, all the crap that they are pulling stems from the fact that they think that their status as dirt poor nobodies is only a temporary thing and that soon, very soon, they will recreate the Empire.

Tehran condemns “anti-Iranian” movie 300Monday 12 March 2007 14:10

Are you kidding?

You can’t swing a dead cat in the air without hitting an “anti-American” movie.

What I love about the left and “My Mood, I’m in a Jihad”, is that when you score points that they KNOW strike home and expose their propoganda, lies, and ideolgy, the squeal like stuck pigs!

[...] But beyond a certain point, whilst the urgency of the plot forces us to consider the defense of the West as relevant, we recognize that the Persians are very dissimilar to contemporary forms of despotism, such as their descendants, the Iranians. In modern times, we’ve become accustomed to Eastern dictatorships being austere, impoverished and underdeveloped. It should be remembered that this is a fairly recent phenomenon and the Greeks themselves often associated a prosperous urban society, with the loss of virtue and freedom (as did many of the early founding fathers, none more so than Thomas Jefferson’s Agrarian Republicans). This is a theme that remained consistent in the tradition of the old grand narrative, that links classical civilization to our own. Yet in modern times, roles have reversed so substantially between East and West, that the Herodotan idea of values in conflict at the gates of Europe, takes on new meaning in the movie. There’s more than a little in the Persians of 300, that you can recognize about our society’s decline into decadent weakness (a subtlety lost on Iran, who denounced it as “psychological war against Iran“. A Spenglerian theme, that Miller has echoed in recent interviews. [...]

Bugs Bunny popping up in Tehran would be cool.

“Ehhhh, what’s up Javad?”. How about a big, sloppy Bug’s kiss for Little Hitler? Do they think bunny saliva is a dirty as puppy saliva?

The cartoon could end with those little Martian guys holding back the Persians. “You’ve made me very angry, brace yourself for immediate disintegration!”

This movie rocked. It backhanded just about every politician and appease-o-crat in America today with a force I’ve not seen in a long time. Frank Miller rocks.

Don’t forget that the Persians also contributed to “global warming” when they burned Athens to the ground.

The film critics further said that after Germans, Japanese, Russians and Arabs, Iranians seem to become the new “villian” in Hollywood productions.

Art imitates life.

They should be pleased they’re running ahead of North Korea.

Plus, it’s not like the average moviegoer in the US is capable of distinguishing between Arabs and Persians anyhow, so they’re really more like tied for fourth.

That scholar is so totally right! I walked in on my 5 year old nephew who was watching Tom and Jerry and he turned to me and said “Hey Uncle SnakeintheGrass! Tom and Jerry is hilarious! Maybe those Jews aren’t so bad after all! I totally disbelieve Hitler’s propaganda now!”

IN their hearts they know that an armed force of pissed off grannies could take them out. They are afraid that when we do decide to switch to “300″ style rules of engagement this movie will look like a picnic.

Tom and Jerry were made by MGM (not Disney) and directed by Hanna and Barbera (Flintstones, Jetsons etc). Furthermore, Barbera was Lebanese!!! HAHAHAHA. This guy on the video is such an idiot. Anyone with a 1st grader’s Googling ability can throw his whole lecture down the toilet.

Also, although entirely untrue, Walt Disney has been labeled time and time again as an anti-semite with scenes like the Jewish Fuller Brush salesman in The Three Little Pigs being cited as an example. I have heard he hated Jews but not that he was one. This is too much.
