And you could not be more wrong about <I>Team America</I>'s second half. It's merciless shredding of idiot Hollywood liberals collaborating with terrorists and the enemies of the United States--indeed opposing any defensive move the US could make--is so dead-on I found myself cheering. Parker and Stone also satirize conservatives but liberals get the lion's share of the slogging because they deserve it. Terrorists have to be fought. Flying to their capitals and fawning over them, a la Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey, needs to be called on the carpet and--at the very least--ridiculed mercilessly. The South Park duo accomplish this flawlessly and with an unerring eye for the Left's hypocrisy, stupidity and condescension. What could be better the satirical scythe taken to Bruckheimer and Bay's worst efforts? The sledgehammer taken to fools like George Clooney and Alec Baldwin. And, it's just that simple.News Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043388038411832048noreply@blogger.com
