More Supporters Barack Obama Needs To Denounce and Reject
Jon Swift is a funny, funny man:
Obama has also been endorsed by actor Kal Penn, who starred in the film Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and its upcoming sequel Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, which mocks the War on Terror and “seems to be banking on young people’s belief America’s a racist country and too hard on the terrorists,” says Libertas’ Jason Apuzzo. According to Wikipedia Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo after being mistaken for terrorists and “then begin a series of strange encounters, including an inbred mutant, Neil Patrick Harris, a nude woman, a KKK rally (where they are mistaken for ‘Mexicans’), and George W. Bush’s ranch house.” Frankly, the fact that Neil Patrick Harris is in the film should be reason enough to condemn it, but according to the film’s co-writer and director Hayden Schlossberg, “Our vision for Guantánamo was a place that doesn’t even feel like America.” Do we really want to elect a man who accepts the endorsement of an actor who appears in a film that claims that Guantanamo is un-American? Why hasn’t Obama denounced this film and rejected the support of one its stars? Perhaps Obama thinks that the War on Terror is just a joke.
