Earlier this week Frank Miller was asked how Batman would respond to the protests on Wall Street, and he said, "Batman would respect the first amendment." But Frank didn't want to just share the opinions of a fictional character. He wanted to chime in with his own opinions. He wrote a scathing letter about the protesters.
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.
Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy.
Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism.
And this enemy of mine — not of yours, apparently - must be getting a dark chuckle, if not an outright horselaugh - out of your vain, childish, self-destructive spectacle.
In the name of decency, go home to your parents, you losers. Go back to your mommas’ basements and play with your Lords Of Warcraft.
Or better yet, enlist for the real thing. Maybe our military could whip some of you into shape.
They might not let you babies keep your iPhones, though. Try to soldier on.
Frank seems to be hinting that the boogeyman enemies from the middle east are laughing at the United States for protesting against the largest wealth divide that the country has ever had.
He also seems to be under the impression that many of the protesters are living in their parent's basement and playing
World of Warcraft instead of finding jobs. Frank may not be aware of the fact that real unemployment in America is now above 16.5%. I'm sure Frank would change his tune if he makes a few more stinkers like
The Spirit and his new
Holy Terror comic book which feels more like war propaganda.
