American Awful

A Tea Party Troubador typed a few words from thin air for the WSJ about the McCarthyite blacklist currently imposed on the talentlessreactionary by liberal Hollywood, & liberal Hollywood fish-wrap the L.A. Times is silly enough to ask for examples:
However, like so many other conservatives who have made "kiss of death" claims, Kahn can't back it up. In the entire Journal story, he didn't come up with even one tiny specific example of liberal bias against his work. Born into a wealthy Pacific Palisades family, the 42-year-old writer earned good reviews for an early 30-minute short, 1993's "Chili Con Carne," but in the ensuing years, according to IMDB, he's only managed to direct one film, the 1998 teen drama, "Girl," about groupies and rock stars in the Seattle music scene, which earned lukewarm reviews and barely got a release.
What happens when that directing gig doesn't work out, & you get bitter & cling to nationalism, guns, religion, etc. If Bob Seger makes your skin crawl (which, of course, is the reaction nature intends) this will make your skin slough off & walk away.
