Frank Miller's Latest Rant

Over the past several weeks The "Occupy" movement has been sweeping across many parts of the U.S. The main focus of the movement, is on clamping down on taxation loopholes that favor the wealthy and many big business among many other things. Here is what Frank Miller had to say about the subject:
ANARCHY
posted 11.7.2011

Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense:



The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.



“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached - is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.



This is no popular uprising. This is garbage. And goodness knows they’re spewing their garbage – both politically and physically – every which way they can find.



Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy.



Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism.



And this enemy of mine — not of yours, apparently - must be getting a dark chuckle, if not an outright horselaugh - out of your vain, childish, self-destructive spectacle.



In the name of decency, go home to your parents, you losers. Go back to your mommas’ basements and play with your Lords Of Warcraft.



Or better yet, enlist for the real thing. Maybe our military could whip some of you into shape.



They might not let you babies keep your iPhones, though. Try to soldier on.



Schmucks.

My problem is not Miller's stance on the movement but the ignorant way in which paints everyone who is protesting and anyone who supports the protest as a "rapist and a thief". Then he calls the movement an unruly mob and claims that it is anything other than an exercise in free speech. I know a fair number of people who disagree with "The Occupy" movements and aren't accusing the opposite side of sex crimes.

Then out of left field he starts throwing in Al-Qaeda and Islamicism. And yes, Al-Qaeda is a threat but what does Al-Qaeda and Islamicism have to do with protesting peacefully? And why does Miller keep telling people to get off their asses and enlist when he has never served in any armed forces himself?

There are ways to disagree without being a douche and have a civil discussion but Miller fails at all of them. He comes out attacking with with false facts and ludicrous accusations. I don't know what crawled up his ass and died but at this stage I'm done with him.

Anyone else? Thoughts?

Has it ever not been this way?

Reading his comics, it wouldn't surprise me to find he has always been this self-opinionated and loud. He now just has a wide spread internet audience for his rants.

I think he is a complete ignorant, likely to vote for Michelle Bachmann if he could.
I still regard Year One and DKR as great but fuck it, that he is one moronic asshole with no clue what he is talking about.
If I were given the chance, I wouldn't even want his signature or a sketch.
