Poll question: Which creatures best resemble right wing extremists in the following movies?
Which of the following creature/species best describes right wing, conservative extremists?


1. GORILLAS in "The Planet of the Apes" ... Gorillas who loved war, violence and oppressing others.

2. ZOMBIES in "Night of the Living Dead" ... Mutant zombies who wandered aimlessly while trying to devour the flesh of others.

3. POD PEOPLE in "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" ... Emotionless people who are all part of an alien life form.

4. KIDS in "Children of the Corn" ... A cult-like mob of immature children who worship a malevolent force and kill adults.

5. BIRDS in "The Birds" ... Mindless birds that attacked all humans without provocation, merely reacting to the most basest and primal instincts to kill.

6. All of the Above

7. I hope so as well. I think one of her siblings is a flesh eating zombie, so she has
a lot of empathy towards this segment of the population.

11. All those are good. I forgot CHUDs though: Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers

Like you said, I believe you have to have a bird brain to believe the idiotic nonsense spewing from the mouths of radio bullies like Beck, Limblah and Hannity. Those 'left behind' pod people are in a class all by themselves.

5. Yes. Randall Flagg is the person
I see most in them.
All of them.
His misanthropy, his destructiveness and godlessness, it's all there.

4. The Morlocks from "The Time Machine"..and they want the rest of us to be the Eloi, to passively
Edited on Thu Jul-22-10 12:14 PM by BrklynLiberal
allow them to consume us.

Wikipedia:
They dwell underground in the English countryside of 802,701 CE in a troglodyte civilization, maintaining ancient machines that they may or may not remember how to build. Their only access to the surface world is through a series of well structures that dot the countryside of future England.

Morlocks are humanoid creatures, said to have descended from humans, but by the 8,028th century have evolved into a completely different species, said to be better suited to their subterranean habitat. They are described as "ape-like", with no clothing, large eyes and gray fur covering their bodies. As a result of living underground, they have little or no melanin to protect their skin, and so have become extremely sensitive to light.

The Morlocks' main source of food is the Eloi, another race descended from humans that lives above ground. The Morlocks treat the Eloi as cattle, and the Eloi do not resist being captured.
