Meanwhile, the liberals among the chattering classes hate it, apparently:
It's likely because in the relatively well-balanced arguments about hawks, doves and the "bad guys" (in the film the analogy is "dicks, pussies and as
sholes") the film comes down on the side of the hawks very slightly.
And it pokes fun at some more extreme liberal icons (Michael Moore, the "Film Actor's Guild - F.A.G.).
Where it pokes fun at hawks is more subtle (the corny "America, fu
ck yeah!" song, how the terrorist fighters destroy more of the cities than the terrorist attack would have destroyed...).
The analogy made, was interesting, if imperfect. In reality, a lot of the "bad guys" (a-holes) would be the "dicks" in the analogy, just on the other side.
