From Don Feder writing at nutbar David Horowitz’s FrontPage Magazine:
Like Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, “The Golden Compass” (an atheist’s stealth attack on faith) was unleashed on December 7.
That’s right folks: a fantasy movie is exactly the same as a sneak attack by a foreign nation that killed 2,388 people and started a global war. That is, if you’re dumb enough to be a conservative.

Note to Horowitz: is it really a “stealth” attack if it has trailers and a release date? Not to mention a source material that was published 12 years ago?
Not just sloppy reasoning, David. Sloppy writing, as well.
Whoops. I meant to direct that at Don Feder, not David Horowitz. Horowitz has plenty of his own nutty quotations to take apart without attributing Feder’s to him.
Oliver: “…and started a global war.”
Actually, Oliver, the date given for the start of that war is some 2+ years earlier.
Unless (in an unfortunately all-too-common US-centric view) you’re ignoring anything that happened before America officially got involved.
Well, yeah, the war had begun, but I think it can be argued it became truly global when we got in. And yes, I’m aware of tracking the beginning of WWII to Dec. 7, 1941 when the Brits were already getting shelled and Poland invaded.
I remember well how Japan flooded America with advertisements and trailers promoting their impending bombing of Pearl Harbor. Because apparently that’s how you push a “sneak attack” like The Golden Compass. Hirohito’s press junket is the stuff of legend.
