UPDATE: Trolls in defense of their hero, Mr. Redford, corrected an error I had made in one of the captions below. Instead of saying "Do nothing." what Mr. Redford actually says is "The problem is with us, all of us...WHO DO NOTHING."
God, I feel so bad! How could have I so misjudged Mr. Redford's moral character?
Oh, yeah, all that man/horse sex slave stuff in that film he showcased at his Portal to Hell Film Festival along with the pedophile-pandering smut.
UPDATE: This troll fest reminds me of another Alicublog infestation from last year.
(sigh) Good times.

At least that appears to be the intent of Robert Redford's
new film, Lions for Lambs.
Unfortunately, for the country, they're actually going to be ripping us all
a new one by leading the mushy-headed and ill-informed down yet another garden
path of no return.
Streep plays a journalist trying to convince a U.S. senator (played by Cruise)
to do the right thing. Any guesses what that might be? Hint: It involves his
support of a US led "war against terror" in Afghanistan.
Redford, plays the wise and ruggedly denim-clad professor who does his best
to dissuade a young student from leaving school to join the military.

"Rome is burning, son. The problem is not with the people who started this..." |

"The problem is with us. All of us..." |

"(correction) WHO DO NOTHING!!!!!" |
Ah, yes, do nothing. Sound advice for any occasion, especially ones
involving wild-eyed jihadists wielding meat cleavers and rocket launchers.
Don't forget, Robert Redford is the man who (via his Sundance film festival)
spotlighted films like Zoo (a documentary about horse-on-man sex) and
Hounddog (the soft kiddie porn feature starring Dakota Fanning).
Yes, let us all heed The Redford's world view.
You know what would be really great to see? Redford, Streep and Cruise ripping
al Qaeda or Islamic Jihad a new one - assuming, that is, they could find their
way out of the old one.
It's hard to believe there actually was a
time when Hollywood hotshots didn't take their lives of incredible privilege
for granted.
