There’s been a new viral video making the rounds lately. It’s a music video in support of Barak Obama, called Yes We Can.  It features a bunch of celebrities repeating sentences from some of Obama’s speeches.

No wonder the kids are going crazy for him. That video really is quite inspirational.

Oh, and McCain has his very own video now, too. Not quite so inspirational though It’s more… uhmm, what’s the word I’m looking for here… scary?!

A few weeks ago I had written a movie review for “300″ on another site called Most Embarrassing Moment. Since the article seemed to be quite popular and ended up being copied on several other blogs and forums, I figured I should post it on NewsNation as well, since this is my quasi homebase:

I saw the movie 300. The Internet is abuzz with the suggestion that 300 may be veiled war propaganda. Veiled? Hardly. 300 is the most blatant brainwashing pro-war propaganda I have seen in many years. It’s the kind of film Leni Riefenstahl would be proud of.

Leni Riefenstahl produced propaganda films for the Nazis. Like 300, Riefenstahl’s movies dazzled with their visual finesse and extraordinary aesthetics but ultimately served to glorify the Nazi ideology and promote war.

300 is a very entertaining movie, with great special effects and spectacular visuals. But it drips with dishonest and manipulative war propaganda.

Throughout the entire movie, the warmongering Spartans are glorified as righteous and superior. Even when they break laws and start a war and kill foreigners, they’re supposedly justified. Anyone who opposes them, including pacifist Spartans who want peace and not war, are portrayed as traitors. The intented analogy aimed at democrats and left-wing antiwar protesters is clear.
