Is there a more retarded, fuckwitted, brain dead, wankstained, swivel eyed loonies and mother fucking cunts than twating lefties. Surly they must be subhuman or someone has scooped part of their brain out with a spoon or what else explains this:

"Consigned to museums" isn't quite the same as banning. ;)

However, I agree that even that would be a rather absurd form of censorship. But, without accepting any form of censorship, the bulk of the article is simply a reasoned critique of the aspects of the film which are sympathetic towards racist attitudes; such a critique is simply part of intellectual discourse about items of culture...

Well you are certainly one now. Brain injury along the way, perhaps?

You're confusing and conflating political conservatism with the Conservative Party. The Daily Mail would be so proud of you.

They should ban Roots.

Maybe they have. You don't see any repeats.

First they came for the Confederate Flag

...but I didn't do anything, because I wasn't from Texas

Then they came for the Mississippi flag.

...but I didn't do anything, because I wasn't from Mississippi.

Then they came for the Hawaiian flag.

...but I didn't do anything, because I wasn't from Hawaii.

Then they came for the California flag.

...but I didn't do anything, because I wasn't from California.



Then they came for the American flag.

They're ok for flags now, then.

They could have had the British one too, as far as I'm concerned. And wiped their arse with it, and made a waistcoat for the pigs with it.

Flags are like medals. They cost hardly anything, but they help to control idiots.

First they came for the Confederate Flag...
Then they came for the ten commandments in courts of law...
Then they came for young earth creationism in science classes...
Then they came for faith healing in hospitals...
Then they came for paedophiliacs among priests... wait, no, that is yet to come.

As far as I can tell, nobody has asked for the banning of Gone with the Wind, nor the banning of the Confederate flag, but people have rightly demanded that the symbol for those who went to war in the attempt to preserve their right to own slaves be removed from all town halls and any other official government buildings.
