The wacky right vs. Spielberg

I wish this came as more of a surprise. I can understand fascistic righties wanting to give Oliver Stone a pair of cement shoes, but Steven Spielberg? It also shows you how off in la-la land right-wing bloggers are-- they're worried sick that a movie's message might not be "patriotic" enough, but not the biggest deficit in the history of the world.

The right blogosphere is a-throb over disturbing rumors concocted from the far reaches of thin air regarding Spielberg's upcoming movie about the trackdown and elimination of the terrorists who committed the massacre of Jewish athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. What has the hotheads cross-eyed with preemptive indignation?

One patriot, poring over the parchment maps in the Captain's Quarters, finds damning evidence in the words of a castmember named Daniel Craig that Spielberg intends to demonstrate that "Vengeance doesn't work." According to the Captain Crunch, working from a top-secret report in the Daily Telegraph, a consultant on the film--former Mideast envoy Dennis Ross--was so incensed by Craig's comment that he warned the Israelis what Spielberg is up to.
