Rush Limbaugh Praises 'United 93' Movie
America's number one talk-radio host, Rush Limbaugh, is giving an enthusiastic thumbs up to the controversial new 9/11 movie, "United 93."
Limbaugh said on Friday's broadcast that critics are wrong when they say it's too soon to revisit the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Limbaugh noted that he was invited to a private screening of the film near to his home in Palm Beach, Fla. [Editor's Note: Get NewsMax's Special Report "Rush Is Back" -- that first detailed the media's effort to torpedo America's most listened to radio host -- read more -- Go Here Now.]
"The whole movie is powerful," Limbaugh said.
"The overwhelming emotion I had was sheer anger at the terrorists, bordering on hatred," Limbaugh said.
"They are not portrayed sympathetically, and that's important."
While some have complained that the scars of 9/11 are still too raw to revisit, the conservative commentator insisted: "It's not too soon. If anything it's too late. I wish this movie had been out two or three years ago."
Limbaugh observed that many of the films made recently about terrorism are infused with political correctness, with Hollywood changing either the perpetrators' ethnicity or portraying the terrorists as justified in their actions.
"This movie is not that," Limbaugh said. "You will not like these people and I think that's important. And that's the reaction that the vast majority of the people who watch this movie are going to have."
Limbaugh predicted, however, that some on the "kook fringe" will get a different message from "United 93."

"It's tough, today in 2006, not to watch this movie within the prism of your own political opinions and attitudes about life in the country today."
"It is my opinion that the kook-fringe left will come away from this movie blaming Bush," he declared.
"But anybody with half a brain," he added, "cannot help but just be angry with the terrorists. And this movie is going to refocus, for those who see it, the exact reason we are in the war on terror."
