Does Dark Knight Returns piss anyone else off? [View all]

[white_wolf]

I just started rereading Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and now I remember why I never finished it before. He gets very political for no real reason. Worst of all it seems very right-wing, I mean Carrie's parents are portrayed like stereotypes of liberals who just smoke pot and never pay attention to their daughter. Batman openly says that criminal's rights makes him crazy. Granted, he has always operated outside the law, but this is the only book I can think of where he is so blatantly opposed to rights. It feels like Miller is using the book as a mouthpiece for his own ideas. Does anyone else agree or is it just me?
