ABC stations pull "Saving Private Ryan"

Apparently America's Taliban objected to the fact that the movie is graphic and offensive. You think? It's about WWII you morons. I love how these fake Christians are all gung-ho about a real war in Iraq, but a fake one on the silver screen is somehow offensive. I guess they're only for wars they can't see.

Though, not that I think about it, this all makes sense. I mean, war veteran Max Cleland was offensive to this crowd. And war hero John Kerry was offensive. So it's only a matter of time that the far right would find every soldier offensive.

I hope there are some military folks out there reading this. This movie was to air tonight to honor Veteran's day. It's now being pulled because the religious right - those folks who President Bush sucked up to in order to get reelected - found it offensive. When honoring our vets becomes such an offensive thought that it can't be done on TV, you need to think again about who you voted for and why.

This is the America you folks wanted. And now it's the America you're getting.
