"When Seuss compared The Cat in the Hat to Kerensky-style leftism, he may have been exaggerating,"

Submitted by Rafique on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 9:48pm

"...But when he called The Lorax 'propaganda,' he wasn’t wrong."

ADDED: I really should add a bit of context to this. Lou Dobbs' default position appears to be high dudgeon and demagoguery--and I think his baseless attack on The Secret World of Arrietty is exactly that, baseless, among other things. As far as The Lorax goes, as far the film having a environmentalist message, and the movie targeting children, he's not wrong. Not having a deep-seated opposition to environmentalism, this doesn't really bother me, but for certain self-appointed culture warriors, this is a big deal. Oh, well.

Besides, he shouldn't worry too much--they're kinda doing a half-assed job, anyway...

Conservatives that are

Conservatives that are freaking out about it though will forget that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was remade not too long ago, has been read as a parable of the seven deadly sins, and that Chronicles of Narnia have been recently turned into films.
