Hmmm ... a Frontline doc? Maybe I'll watch that tonight.
I find the whole "imaginary liberal" concept chilling. The fact is, this is extremely black-and-white thinking without any hint of grey area. I can't live like that and I believe it is lazy and shallow-minded for anyone to think that way.
When you stop seeing your enemies as people, all discourse has broken down. Although in a weird way I think there's people out there who believe in the "imaginary liberal" and don't at the same time. They may or may not be running for President.
I don't think I could possibly sit through this movie. I can see why critics' comments pulled you in, though.
Oddly enough, I don't think it's the worst movie I saw this year on a quality level. Tarantino's half of Grindhouse was that much of a torture. Then again, I went into An American Carol expecting to be angry and I didn't for Death Proof...
