I could think of many, many WORSE terms that could be used to describe the loathsome Bush cabal, as it oversees and helps to bring about the demise of the United States, but this animation speaks volumes.....

Well.......i thought that the end was a bit of unecessary theatre that took away from the legitimacy of the rest of the animation........all the prior scenes and images exposed profound truths about Bush and his ConservaFascist co-conspirators and their unrelenting dishonesty.

I really liked this, although it was highly edited for their message to get through, it was good.

While amusing the animation was simply a bunch of leftist propaganda. It was a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying little.
What it did illustrate was the typical tactics of the left, lie, exagerate, sink to the level of children telling pee pee poo poo jokes in the back of the classroom. Just as when Howard Dean compared Republican members of the administration to Hitler (just before he called for an end to divisiveness), just like the Ted Rall cartoons, just as when Cindy Sheehan uses gutter language when referring to the President of the United States, the left shows itself to be devoid of any real ideas and willing to stoop to character assassination of the lowest form.

That was the dumbest cartoon I've ever seen. Basically, it made fun of homosexuality, needlessly compared the entire Republican Party to the Nazi Party, and topped the cake with a profound Satanist reference. It pirated an image from a great Tim Burton film and made a mockery of itself while doing so. Frogger, your comments were right on.
Oh, and the person at the end of the Video was the president of China, who the animator took the liberty of turning into a Kung Fu master (I suppose because he's Asian, and of course we all know that every Asian is a Kung Fu master....).

Prae's right, that's Hu Jintao.
On another note, this video was pretty stupid, and failed to "speak volumes", it wasn't even humorous.

Basically, it made fun of homosexuality,
It was not so much "making fun of homosexuality", as exposing the fact that the (hypocritical) homophobes in the Bush administration had a male hooker with a high security clearance inside the Whtie House on an almost daily (or nightly....wink wink) basis. I have heard the case made that Gannon --the homosexual prostitute pictured-- was often made use of to "service" the Republicans in the Bush Administration who craved some (cough cough) extracurricular activity with him. Not that I care in the slightest if some of the political operatives in the Bush camp are homosexuals........but the Bush Administration needs to stop being hypocritical and spreading their message of hatred for homosexuals.
...needlessly compared the entire Republican Party to the Nazi Party,
I would replace the word *needlessly* with the word *justifiably*.
and topped the cake with a profound Satanist reference.
Really??
What, the stars on the GOP elephant at the first.......?!?!?!
THAT was the "profound" Satanic reference....??
LOL.
I doubt if Balzac, who made the film, actually thinks they are Satan worshippers. I think he was simply using the only image he could come up with that would represent --to the average viewer-- the immense evil that the Bush Administration represents to humankind and that would be evocative of the vile and horrific acts it has perpetrated.

Fair enough, but painting the entire Bush "cabal" as a group of butt buddies undoubtedly speaks volumes about the animators view on homosexuality. It looked like it was doing more than just "poking fun" at the hypocrisy of their stance on gay marriage (and I'm using the word hypocrisy very loosely here). I mean, seriously, what did Gannon's sexual orientation have to do with his job (outside of liberal conjecture, of course), and beyond that, I very seriously doubt that the administration even knew he was a queer.
I would replace the word *needlessly* with the word *justifiably*.
And I'm sure that makes perfect sense in your mind.

My choice of the word "profound" was, in itself, a joke. Nothing about that animation was profound, original, or even remotely thought provoking. It was, as Frogger put it, the mind-numbing equivalent of a group of children "telling pee-pee pooh-pooh jokes in the back of a classroom".

No it showed the typical tactics of Partisan Idiots the likes of which America is completely filled with. Funny you talk of the hitler thing since Republicans complained about it, demos retracted it, then the Republicans used the exact same imagery...Terrorist lover...

As well as being -literally- more illustrative.

FT, wasn't it that famous, homosexual Democrat Barney Frank who had the male hooker working out of his house? Seems the butt buddy appelation belongs more to Democrats than Republicans.

Yes.
But --and please correct me if I am in error here-- unlike the people in the Bush Administration, Barney Frank was not clearing the way for male prostitutes to have the run of the White House itself.
Seems the butt buddy appelation belongs more to Democrats than Republicans.
Seems like you're a fucking idiot with no grounds to successfully argue this point.

Nope. Just the run of the Senate. But then again, he wasn't in the White House. He was only in the Senate.

Are you kidding??? Male prostitutes have had the run of the White House for decades now. If you need an example, reference immigration.
