Oliver Stone, Right-Wing Heartthrob?

There was a time in the not-so-distant past that Oliver Stone's directorial antics were anathema to a wide swath of the political spectrum, but particularly the right -- think "Natural Born Killer," "JFK," that Castro documentary. Apparently, though, all it takes is one non-Bush-bashing 9/11 movie to make things all right. Stone's "World Trade Center" has already come in for a lot of conservative love: "It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-male, flag-waving, God Bless America films you will ever see," writes Fox News' Cal Thomas, who can't believe his eyes. "What? Oliver Stone, who indulges in conspiracy theories and is a dues-paying member of the Hollywood left?" Thomas asked. "Yes, THAT Oliver Stone." Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, writes on Townhall.com that he expected a "tiresome, loathsome, Bush-lied-thousands-died production designed to titillate the Michael Moore left-wing fringe," but the movie changed his mind: "Let me be unequivocal. Stone has delivered a masterpiece." (N.Y. Daily News, Fox, Townhall)

"It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-male, flag-waving, God Bless America films you will ever see"

"pro-male"??????? What the hell does that mean?

I don't think I'll bother to find out, thanks.

2. Those morons are just suprised a liberal can love their country too.

Fuck them for talking like that.

When Oliver Stone did JFK, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, etc, he did it because he loves his fucking country.

"pro-family"??? wuh? name one person who is against traditional families, and prove it. Name just one. In 300 million Americans. What a dork thing for that dork to say. Pro male. (grunts, defecates, flings)

11. Cal Thomas is serious closet case...

5. The RW will trash him as exploitive, etc. because he's Hollywood

Of course if one of them had produced the WTC flick it would be masterpiece.

I wouldn't walk across the street to see it anyway, no matter who made it.

9. I intend to see the movie and make up my mind myself
