LOTR Movie "analogies" ?

[pegkerr]

An "interpretation" of the Lord of the Rings movies which is, perhaps, not surprising, but intensely gag-producing. For me, at least.

Okay, why mince words? Probably the most incredibly offensive I've ever seen. I would hope it would have been for Tolkien, too, who loathed allegory.

*Choke*

That is pretty bad. I'd like to think it's being done tongue in cheek, but I don't get that impression. (And Republicans have no sense of humor, anyway.)

This is really the ridiculous part, out of a host of ridiculous parts:

Who are the other characters? Merry And Pippin are Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hanity fighting little battles along the way with humor and courage.

Um, WHAT? When did Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hanity ever show one ounce of courage about ANYTHING? (Let alone humor.) And on top of that, Merry and Pippin and the Ents were a massive tract in favor of environmentalism decades before it became sexy, and Rush is about the most anti-environmentalist right wing talker there is. He has tried to claim that there are more square miles of forest in this country now than when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Um, not on the same soil, bub. There were thirteen colonies then; there are fifty states now. The way these idiots will bend any statistics to their needs is just too galling; equating Rush with anyone remotely environmentalist is just plain STUPID.

And the idiot woman doesn't know the difference between "than" and "then." [/writing pet peeve rant]

The idiot woman doesn't even know the difference between "patients" and "patience." Kind of funny, actually, in context.

I really can't get that worked up about her misuse of homonyms when the analogy itself makes me ***FROTH AT THE MOUTH***

To be perfectly honest, my brain's outrage function just completely shut off by the time she compared George Bush to Aragorn because he's so gorgeous.

Nor does she grasp the differences between 'your' and 'you're.' (And she seems to have some problems with commas, too.)

To me poor grammar and spelling is evidence of an ignorant, untrained mind. What does she know about politics? She can't even write properly. To me the saddest part of that whole ridiculous essay is tail end where she identifies herself as a writer.

I know some Republicans who have.
