Conservative Comedy 'An American Carol' Misses the Marknew
Satire has to be brutal sometimes, but festooning a story with essentially baseless putdowns is not only gratuitously mean-spirited, it also blunts the real point. In An American Carol, all leftists and all pacifists -- in fact, everybody except gun-toting militarists -- are mindless, hypocritical sheep.
