I just saw the movie Team America and I hope every voter under the age of 25 goes to watch it before Nov. 2.

The White House should be sending out free passes. Though it does not mention him by name, the movie all but screams "John Kerry is a moron."

Spread the word!

Yes, I know the intelligentsia have proclaimed it a fistful of barbs for both the left and the right: This is pure bullsh*t (pardon the language, but I just saw Team America).

The funny thing is, those liberals who judge the film a slap to conservatives are only revealing their myopic ignorance. They're worldview is so twisted they miss the point entirely.

Let's take a little walk down Bozo Lane (after you've seen the movie, if you haven't already, you will appreciate these even more).

This, from one of the best and brightest:

[A] would-be equal-opportunity offender, Team America: World Police sets out to skewer both hemispheres of the American brain.

Here's another:

...equal opportunity offenders is one of the movie's great strengths: They ridicule both Michael Moore and the U.S. government.

And another:

to mock the Iraq war and Hollywood blow-up epics like "Con Air" and "Armageddon."

And another:

The old phrase "equal opportunity offender" applies generously to this movie...

And again:

True to South Park fashion, it pulls no punches, lampooning the left and right spectrums of U.S. politics...

USA Today manages to skew who's being skewered:

But others might laugh more when they see the inept American team attempt to catch terrorists but succeed only in blowing up the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Presumably the team's botched plan to save France and nab the terrorists is a commentary on U.S. action in Iraq.

(The Team America crew actually DID kill the terrorists in France. More on the Louvre later).

Here, Slate gets a bit closer to the truth:

The puppets of Team America skewer the right. If only they'd stopped there.

The title alone rocks: It tells you that the movie is a stink bomb lobbed at American arrogance and overweening militarism. That'll piss off the right!

They actually hate liberals as much if not more than their right-wing counterparts.

"If not more"? This is the understatement of the month.

The entire point of the plot is that the liberals are WRONG in every respect and the "World Police" are proven right. There is no gray area about who is being excoriated in this movie.

Charles Taylor gets it:

...resorts to lame anti-left jokes that could have been written by Ann Coulter.

But smart guy Sean Penn gets it best of all:

It's all well to joke about me or whomever you choose. Not so well, to encourage irresponsibility that will ultimately lead to the disembowelment, mutilation, exploitation, and death of innocent people throughout the world. The vote matters to them. No one's ignorance, indcluding a couple of hip cross-dressers, is an excuse.

All best, and a sincere fuck you,

Sean Penn

Penn should be angry. He and the rest of the Hollywood activists, along with Hans Blix and a few others whom John Kerry would proudly count on as foreign policy supporters, are the punching bags in this film. Their head-in-the-sand, appease-our-enemies approach to foreign policy evokes only one of the parties seeking the White House, and it ain't the Republicans.

You can see how some of the misguided might discern "equal opportunity" axe-grinding: Team America's key calling card is to kill the bad guys, find the WMDs, and obliterate a few local cultural landmarks in the process. That's the "skewering" of the right. It's funny and lampoonish, and in some cases actually sort of satisfying.

Watching the Louvre and Eiffel Tower crumble while the characters detour into a conversation about their relationship seems a proper use of perspective.

But ultimately, everything Team America sets out to do reveals a worldview that is 100% accurate. Everything their opponents on the left do reveals a total misunderstanding of reality. Does that ring a bell?

How the film's creators feel about the opposing sides might be deduced from the fact that every single one of the left's standard-bearers dies very, very badly.

I am not even going to attempt to sell you on Trey Parker's soundtrack, except to say it is worth more than the price of admission. The animation is fantastic, the dialogue hysterical, the philosophy of international affairs incisive (and outrageously obscene), but the songs are sheer brilliance.

Stay through the credits for the last number. It is priceless.
