Frank Miller sure is pissed off about Occupy Wall Street
Comic book crank Frank Milller’s political philosophy has become as angry—and jagged, and messy—as his drawing style pretty much since 9/11, when Miller first began turning his grim, nihilistic viewpoint into an all-out war against terrorism, then put his money where his mouth was and boldly joined the front lines by drawing superheroes punching Muslims right in the face. And yet, while Miller puts himself out there, on the wall, every single day to defend our freedoms by making hyper-violent wish-fulfillment cartoons, there’s a whole generation of people who are wasting their time on meaningless, masturbatory exercises.
For example, Occupy Wall Street, which Frank Miller recently excoriated in an exceedingly Frank Miller manner via a lengthy blog post titled “Anarchy,” which takes OWS protesters to task for not contributing in any meaningful or intelligent way to solving the nation's problems. Like killing Muslims, or at the very least, drawing a guy with a giant fist killing a Muslim. And Frank Miller has had it with this pointless movement that has yet to kill a single Muslim. He's had it, he says!
Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense:
The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.
“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” — HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.
This is no popular uprising. This is garbage. And goodness knows they’re spewing their garbage — both politically and physically — every which way they can find.
