Apparently not, if that commenter is serious…

Here: Liberals will hate this movie. The whole post is actually quite amusing. Apparently, if you are a liberal, you are also an atheist.

I just have one question for all who believe in evolution.

Why do we still have monkeys? Shouldn’t they all have evolved into people by now?

Also, why do some men go bald? What purpose does that serve? If baldness is a good thing, shouldn’t we all be bald due to evolution? If it’s a bad thing, evolution should have wiped out baldness by now.

I would think we would all be a bit better than we are today if we were evolving over time, however, the stupidity of liberals can only lead one to believe that there is no way the human race could have possibly evolved into such ignorant creatures.

It’s also funny the way liberals get so upset to hear someone mention God. You can’t help but laugh when you see them on CNN, etc. One thing’s for sure though- we will all believe in God when we die.

Here is a direct link to the page. It’s currently the second from the top, titled “Liberals Will Hate This Movie” by Tom.

edit: beaten to it

Just a gentle Mod reminder that everyone has a perfect right to wander over to the IMDb messages and express themselves–as long as no one makes any issue of having “discovered” an earlier post through its quotation on the SDMB or makes any other reference to the SDMB.

We would prefer to not invite hostile exchanges from outside fora.

Oops, I misread you, thinking you’d found that comment at a rottentomatoes review.

For IMDb, that kind of thing is almost par for the course. :wink:

Box office is in for opening day. It’s a flop.

And that’s with a huge amount of publicity and with the producers bribing Christian schools to force their students to buy tickets. I’m encouraged to see that people are ignoring this bilge. Maybe America is smarter than I thought. The reviews have been absolutely brutal, so that probably didn’t help the movie either.

What a fucking douche. He thinks only liberals are capable of understanding scientific truth.

He also thinks they don’t believe in God.

It’s a pretty simple* corrollary:

  1. God wants people to be conservatives.

  2. Liberals are not conservatives.

  3. Ergo, Liberals do not believe in God; if they did, they would be conservatives (see 1.)

Q. E. D.

*to say nothing of simplistic

Stein already has a sequel in the can about the scientific communities suppression of ATT (Avian Transportation Theory).

Here’s the trailer.

CMC +fnord!

That was awesome. Thanks for the link.

I wouldn’t be surprised if $3 million isn’t even enough to pay for their Comedy Central ads alone since the ads run several nights per week during the networks highest rated programs. However, if the film is a total disaster then it’s of course the fault of the intellectual elitists. (I heard that Elitist-American Barack Obama personally shivved a guy who tried to see it in a small steel mill town in Pennsylvania, though of course he now denies it.)

Well…
Opening day sales are a weak indicator for eventual box office takings,

and

DVD purchases and rentals greatly exceed box office sales, $4.8 billion vs. $1.78 billion,

and

documentaries are cheap to film

and

there may be congregation screenings to consider as well.

All in all, methinks that the film-makers should do ok. I predict a sequel.

Hey, Brent Bozell likes the film. What a suprise.

WOW, I guess that puts us “evolutionists” in our place. Seriously is the entire conservative political movement engulfed in fantasy land? Are there any prominent conservatives who accept the reality of the word that really exists.

175

You know what’s really awesome about this movie? Look at the tagline on the poster:

I love that randomly capitalized ‘R’ in ‘Rebel’, conforming to the time-honored standards of wacko scare glurge established in the 18th century (or the German language, pick whichever one seems wackier to you).

Hey! Don’t go dissing the Rebel!

I guess I have no dog in this fight as a semi-moderate (leaning towards social liberalism) agnostic. But I do figure that ID has no basis in science as wonderful as it might sound to people. The only problem I have is that IDers would like to pass off their religious beliefs as having any scientific merit at all. Does that make me a liberal and the enemy?

Yes. Also evil. :stuck_out_tongue:

If it hadn’t been for rebels like Ben Stein challenging the status quo we may never have had phrenology or alien autopsy footage.

My favorite line about the Ben Stein type of ‘rebel’ is from the Peter Cook/Dudley Moore version of *Bedazzled *.
