Fictional story of the Tea Party's rise to power. Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin become Chancellor & Vice-Chancellor... er... President and Vice President... and James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan stand up against them.
shareBeck and Palin could never be popular enough for the dinner table scene to happen upon announcement of any victory that either of them could possibly hope to achieve. On the other hand, Obama's victory was more than a little reminiscent of that scene...
"Why do you find it so hard to believe?"
"Why do you find it so easy?"
"It's never BEEN easy!"
LOL... GO TO YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN "TYPES OF GOVERNMENT"
WOW YOU ARE DUMB!
You don't agree with people's politics so you liken them to Nazis?
How open minded.
If you want to silence them or live in a country where no one is allowed to have opinions other than yours...you might ask yourself who is acting like the Nazis?
Kudos to you, Bearcat, for knocking the OP upside his empty skull with a clue by four. Like ALL leftists, he must resort to over-the-top HATEFUL rhetoric in the absence of any legitimate argument in defense of his failed ideology. As for the movie, Miss Sullavan is effulgent as usual, in this tragic and beautiful film.
shareNothing "hateful" in what I said. I was just commenting that as I watched this movie had deja vu everytime the characters played by Young, Dailey and Bond spoke. I felt like I was suddenly watching some talking head on Fox News: Fear, Conformity, Intolerance...
shareTHAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIBTARD!
HOPEFULLY, NOVEMBER 2ND SNAPPED YOU OUT OF IT.
BEST WISHES!
If you read your history with an open mind, you find that Hitler not only quashed an open mind, But killed many to make a point.
shareNot at all. I was just watching the movie and was struck how everything Robert Young and Dan Dailey and Ward Bond said sounded like Tea Partyers. THEY are the ones who hope to silence freedom of speech by shouting and threats.
shareTHEY are the ones who hope to silence freedom of speech by shouting and threats.Could you please provide some examples as to how they are attempting to silence freedom of speech?
Umm, and I thought this was a site about movies. But since you went in this crooked direction, let's see. A philosophy or party that assigns privileges to people based on race and ethnicity. An ideology that sees to it that border enforcement is not engaged in so as to boost a party's votes. Boy that sure sounds like a the Bama/Biden/Clinton thought pattern to me. And imagine how silly those conservatives are, actually advocating equal treatment for all, even those that regularly cast votes against them. I guess you are correct about Palin, Beck, etc., not quite ready for prime time.
shareLet me guess, you watch Faux Noise to gather information?
shareActually, if you watch the birthday party scene, Rudi Roth is happy Hitler has been appointed and mentions what he's being taught in school: "The individual must be sacrificed for the good of the masses"- which is exactly what Obama preaches. Ironically, it's the Tea Party which advocates and promotes the initiative of the individual. It's the left, like NPR and universities who denounce diversity of thought and promote speech codes.
shareLET ME GUESS?
ODUMBA VOTER...LOL

I think you should remember one this hightidex, the Tea Party movement is one of the few in history that don't hold their palms open, asking for more for themselves. The Tea Party isn't asking for more and bigger government, they ask for less. He who is blind is the true Not See.
In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.
That’s why we heard the loud cry “keep your hands off my Medicare” from t-partiers at all those townhall meetings.
shareHi Everyone! I'm on here because I just finished watching 'The Mortal Storm' and it's a fantastic work indeed! Since this is a 'Film Lover's Site' (and I'm an admitted TCM addict) I would ask that all of you people arguing politics back and forth, 'Get a Room!!' or at least take your left/right etc. etc. argument over to You-Tube where it has a Good Home! Gotta go watch 'King Solomon's Mines' now. Happy Holidays to All!

WOW~...LOL YOU ARE REALLY FUNNY LIBTARD!
shareI find it humerous how liberals preach that this movie reminds them of Glen Beck, Sarah Palin and other prominent conservatives.
But I guess I understand why the typical liberal would think this:
Hitler believed in gun control
Hitler believed in nationalization of industry
Hitler believed in nationalized healthcare
Hilter believed that those well off should offer that wealth to the fatherland
Hitler believed in one source of news controlled by the government
Hilter outlawed opinion contrary to "accepted" scientific theory
Hitler marginalized, minimzed, ridiculed and at last eliminated dissent
Just like Beck and Palin
LOL... SILLY LIBTARDs!
NAZI means National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus) which at its core is what the above post is.
China is moving to a similar form of government from communism to what is now being coined as Social Communism.
Thing is i've never heard one tea party supporter ever try to trample on free speech, those folks mostly just are saying look our debt is now $14 Trillion maybe its time to reign in the spending?
Other things i've noticed about the average tea party member is Republican, Democrat, Independent, Male, Female, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian.
for some reason when the LIberal's get an opposing voice they pull the NAZI card.
Maybe this country needs a little Obama, maybe it needs a little Ron Paul.... the House and Senate definately needs to look past the letter next to their names and remember what Common Sense is.
Who claimed when Bush/Cheney took us to war in Iraq that those who opposed this action were "unpatriotic". I've never once heard a liberal charge a conservative with being unpatriotic, whereas conservatives often aim that charge at liberals. Who honestly upholds the first amendment rights to freedom of speech? Always the liberals. Look up the definition of fascist and see which side it describes. By the way, virtually all of yourclaims about Obama are ludicrous. Show me one example where he actually has atgtempted to make this a communist country. What you spew is propoganda.
shareIf Tea partiers are Nazi's, are Occupy Wall Streeter's... Stalinists?
shareThe OP has it wrong. It was Robert Stack who instantly became the German equivalent of a Tea Party Patriot when he realized the shame of Nazism. Not too different from the way many of us woke up to the gross immorality of liberalism and now speak out against it. We no longer repeat the tired old lefty platitudes and it makes the Marxists in power {and their followers} CRAZY with hatred. Palin and Beck were chosen as targets to represent all conservatives by some very evil people in high places.
