Remember What We Told You About Our 'Friends'?
Do you remember that we showed Innocents Betrayed at the
first politically conservative, pro-rights film festival,
the American Film Renaissance (AFR), last September?
We reported to you about the hostile and dismissive reviews
that Innocents Betrayed received from the Leftist press, so
that you could see how the attackers could only smear but
not rebut the message.
http://www.jpfo.org/alerts/alert20041004.htm
Now, three (3) months later, a so-called conservative,
right wing publication, National Review, has finally
printed a "review" of the AFR.
You can read the first part of the article via the link
(below). The full text is available only to paid
subscribers.

Notice how the National Review writer dismisses Innocents
Betrayed:
Just a trio of comments about this review.
(1) The reviewer paid Innocents Betrayed a backhanded
compliment by observing that the film is of the quality
that is routinely shown on the History Channel. That's
exactly the quality level we attempted to achieve --
network, non-fiction, documentary quality with irrefutable
facts. And we achieved that quality on a tiny budget
contributed by private individuals and small
organizations.
(2) The reviewer was unable to attack any of the factual
statements or conclusions that Innocents Betrayed leads the
reader to understand. Just like the Leftist reviewers,
this National Review writer couldn't attack the film on its
merits. That's another compliment.
(3) The reviewer made a special point of sneaking in some
anti-Semitism into his review. The film was produced by
JPFO, he notes and then adds: "Make of that what you
will."
That sort of language transmits good old-fashioned anti-
Semitism by the time-tested wink and nod technique. "His
name is Goldstein. Make of that what you will."
The reviewer has a wonderful time attacking the physical
appearance of the theater and the organizers of the
Festival. He deploys his acid remarks to attack people who
might have been supporters of his magazine. His review is
not helpful to anyone; it isn't even accurate or usefully
descriptive. We would not have printed that kind of rant in
our Bill of Rights Sentinel, even about our opponents.
So, when we observed that our "friends" on the self-avowed political Right were absent from the AFR, we apparently
were wrong. One of them was there, making it his mission
to stab the pro-liberty movement in the back.

"Still others were painfully tone-deaf, like Innocents
Betrayed, which could have passed for a History Channel
documentary about genocide, save for a narrator intoning -
over shots of piled Cambodian skulls or trains bound for
Bergen-Belsen - that gun control inevitably leads to state-
sponsored mass murder. (Innocents Betrayed, I later
learned, was produced by the Wisconsin-based Jews for the
Preservation of Firearm Ownership. Make of that what you
will.)"
