"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

There's a Reason They Call it "USS Clueless "

Stephen DenBeste is likely the most long-winded of all right-wing bloggers. He seems to be a smart enough engineer, and back in the day he and I swapped some emails about the war. I still drop in to see what he's going on about as it's a good way to check in with the people I diagree with. Here's a typical bit I disagree with, from a piece entitled (romantically enough) The price of heroism:

[this film was made] early enough so that the film makers were not infected with post-modernist multiculturalist mindset and didn't need to try to portray Hitler and the other top Nazis semi-sympathetically. (Or to try to figure out some reason why it was actually America's fault.)

See, this is why I can't take his writing seriously, (other than this that is; just kidding... he's outlandish too!). Can someone please tell me what film ever portreyed the H-man (or his top cronies) sympathetically, or ever attempted to place blame on America? Was it Schindlers List? Saving Private Ryan? Bedknobs and Broomsticks? A Bridge Too Far? Maybe he means Das Boot, but that's a German film, and it certainly doesn't portrey the high-brass sympathetically, just a U-Boat crew.

Here's a list of all the movies about WWII from imdb. What the fuck are you talking about Stephen?
