They Want You

There’s much chatter today about “assassination chic” as it relates to an upcoming film, in documentary style, about the imagined assassination of President Bush.
The real problem is not that such a film has been made. Jeff Goldstein mentions several other political thrillers which tend to fall into the category of what Jeff refers to as “ideological wish fulfillment.”
No, the problem is that in the BDS-charged atmosphere of today’s far Left, this new TV-movie is not going to be merely a docudrama.
It’ll be a recruiting film.
I can only imagine the firestorm if that sort of thing had been done to Mr. Clinton or Mr. Carter. Extremely bad taste and totally un-called for regardless of your politics.
May a thousand Pekinese eat their face.
