Looking at the headlines from the Venice Film Festival, its hard not to notice the strong anti-capitalist theme throughout. Hollywood's favorite dictator, Hugo Chavez, is there and he brought his personal media consultant, Oliver Stone, with a fresh "documentary" about the beloved leaders "great life story."
Up on the screen, its Michael Moore's latest, "Capitalism, A Love Story."
A 2 plus hour scab picking exercise that concludes "Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil."
Taken as a whole, this Venice Film Festival looks like a gussied up political rally for Hate America Firsters...or just Firsters.
As the master scab picker, Moore has gutlessly picked subjects that play to his Firster base. Why not examine the horrors of political repression by modern-day dictators or the treatment of women in Muslim countries. Instead Moore chooses to make films that come across as being made by an overweight, hormonal teenager who is angry at a slightly overbearing father. Good thing for him he keeps choosing his father subjects well, because the really evil ones cut peoples throats, or worse - disinvite you to those fabulous Hollywood parties with the 10 count shrimp.
And how about ol' reliable, Oliver Stone. His "documentary" plays like a pre-teen girls' love letter complete with XOXOXO and a Hello Kitty stamp. Stone, the Lion of Hollywood Firsters, lovingly presents Hugo's story as Venezuela's "peaceful revolution" since Chavez came to power in 1998: that "he(Chavez), who grew up in a peasant family, is an emblematic figure of bottom-up change."
I guess being a Firster is like living a life of a perpetual child: you know where the dangers are and are able to avoid them while living at home and complaining about Dad.

"Firsters"...that's clever!
I would add conservatives to that strawman cabal, who rail against everything that makes America interesting and prosperous, to wit:
Hollywood
The "Liberal" Media
The New York Times
Coastal Urban Centers
Judges
Universities
Multi-Culturalism
Porn
Gays
Gay Porn
BTW, where are all the books and documentaries about political oppression and Muslim misogyny from Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, et al?
They're too busy blaming all of America's ills on "liberals" and "the left," a.k.a. Americans. (Pat Robertson, erstwhile Republican presidential candidate and all around right-wing religious douche bag, infamously blamed the 9/11 attacks on immoral Americans.) Give 'em hell, Pat!
It's not Osama or The Evil Muslim Terrorists Plotting to Take Over the World with Box Cutters that are the real enemy, no, it's those Femanazis at home!
There is no longer a left...all you sheeples have fallen of the cliff. Conservatives still abide by the principles of the founding fathers:
But Jefferson said: He who trades liberty for security, deserves neither and will loose both. Likewise, B. Franklin said “He who gives up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety.”
You left-wing nut bag liberals would give up your first born for some of "dat Obama money."
All the while you kowtow to Europe to gain "favor", and our "beloved leader" apologizes for this great nation. Your damn strait "Firsters" is clever. Michael Moore is a hypocritical idiot whose book should have been an autobiography entitled "Stupid White Man.
All you liberals/communist/Marxist posting behind the facade of being a democrat can kiss our collective conservative asses!
