David Zucker is a movie producer who once demonstrated against the Vietnam War. Lately he’s gone way right–the predictable way stations were 9/11, the Republican Jewish Committee, and Ahmadinejad–and making a movie, American Carol, that seeks to make fun of the left. The only problem is that as this tortuously long Weekly Standard cover article by Cheney amanuensis Stephen Hayes makes clear, the movie isn’t that funny.
James Baker recast as Neville Chamberlain. And a talkshow character named Rosie O’Connell!!! Then there’s this:
Zucker says that one of the major differences between the left and
the right in America today is that leftists think of their political
opponents as evil. “I don’t think that Obama is an evil guy, I just
think he’s wrong. But I do think we face real evil in Ahmadinejad and
the mullahs and all these crazy guys.”…
Zucker points to a National Journal study that found Obama to
be the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. “John Kerry was, and
Obama is. Fortunately, Kerry was a stiff. But Obama isn’t a stiff and
he’s really adaptable. He’s like a really clever virus who adapts.
Obama’s the farthest left of all of these guys. And that’s why he
associated with all of those crazies–terrorists, preachers of hate.”
Now wait, who thinks their opponents are evil?
