“Earmuffs” Kids…Frank Miller Sounds Off On Occupy Wall Street

Written by Jeff Nau

In our next bit of Occupy Wall Street News for the day, Frank Miller jumps to the lead, ahead of the Portland/New York/Oakland messes, ahead of the Batman vs. OWS bit, and all for something really stupid he said via Tumblr regarding the protest movement. It’s one of those things you have to read for yourself.

‘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.’

There’s many reasons why this letter is asinine, though it probably doesn’t take a genius to figure out why. It reads vaguely like a letter written by a Dick Tracy villain, or at best Sarah Palin. Jobless/homeless people with Iphones and Ipads, a unique concept? Hasn’t he ever been to West L.A.?

Al-Qaeda probably has bigger sh*t to deal with now that Osama is dead and we just killed the two guys who tried to take his place.

And while he’s entitled to his opinion, I just want to ask: What the hell happened to the guy? Frank Miller’s Sin City and The Dark Knight Returns are arguably works of genius. But between his latest few flame-outs (http://io9.com/5845828/frank-millers-holy-terror-isnt-just-a-bad-comic–its-a-bad-propaganda-comic), and this batsh*t grudge, I can’t help but wish Robert Rodriguez would hurry up and move Sin City 2 to the front burner and distract him from his Twitter page.
