Flo: Wait...doesn't an ahmed takeovah of a fed'ral facility make you a terrorist, Lestah? Lester: Oh, no ma'am. We're freedom fighters! Flo: That's what all terrorists say. Lester: Yeah, but we're diff'runt. Flo: Uh...how? Lester: Aw, c'mon...do I really have to point out the obvious? Eddie: Yes, please. Lester: Terrorists wear a turban, not a cowboy hat. Flo: Judgin' by the lact of reaction, I guess the govah-ment agrees.
I guess this needs to be clarified for some here….again…as I tried to do 3 days ago.
This series is not ABOUT the events in Oregon. If it was, I would have specified it as such. This series was done several weeks ago and I had no idea what would be going on with it this week. This is simply a satire on the MINDSET that produces such events, of self-styled “militias”, who are always comprised of heavily armed, angry White males pretending to be super-patriots, but are really only trying to get out of paying taxes.
And a satirist can assess how well the work is on target by how loudly those who identify with the target yell…then desperatly try to divert attention away from the point with false analogies. You guys are very loud today…as you have been all week. Thank you!
