#6   It says Bush and US neo-conservatives, as well as British Prime Minister Tony Blair, are exaggerating the terror threat in a manner similar to the way earlier generations of leaders inflated the danger of communism and the Soviet Union.

And the danger of to the west from the Soviet Union was imaginary? Typical leftist bullshit

#5  "The film ... argues that the fear of terrorism has come to pervade politics in the United States and Britain even though much of that angst is based on carefully nurtured illusions."

Uh, that'll be why terrorism was a notable non-issue during the last British election campaign, I suppose. Hardly a word about it, from anyone. Methinks someone's trying to seriously exaggerate supposed exaggeration which it would appear isn't an exaggeration at all. So what happens when you multiply by zero?

#4   “The Power of Nightmares” by filmmaker and senior BBC producer Adam Curtis

BBC producer: The pillar of truth in the media world.....RIIIGGGHTT.

“Moore is a political agitprop filmmaker,” he said. “I am not. You’d be hard pushed to tell my politics from watching it.” >/em>

Oh, so it IS a comedy after all.

#2  Yep, nothing to fear here. Pay no attention to the piles of corpses left by murderous islamo-nutjobs around the world.

Sheesh. Is Palme D'Or french for 'handful of poo', by any chance?

#1  Ah, the power of bullshit. It's a shoo-in for the Palme D'Or.
