The creators of South Park have made a new movie in their classic low-tech style, this one lampooning the war on terror. Watch the Trailer
Predictably, this has drawn criticism from the White House ("This is just unconscionable"), as documented by the Drudge Report.
So what are everyone's feelings? Is this too serious a topic to poke fun at? Should the White House unclench a little? Is anything that makes fun of Michael Moore inherently good and pure?

Just to add to the conversation Howard Dean, speaking today on a government controlled mainstream media outlet, CNN, said terror warnings are politically based.
"I am concerned that every time something happens that's not good for President Bush, he plays this trump card, which is terrorism," said former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. "It's just impossible to know how much of this is real and how much of this is politics, and I suspect there's some of both in it," Dean told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
A member of his own party shot him down:
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.), speaking on the same program, said no one "in their right mind would think the President or the secretary of homeland security would raise an alert level and scare people for political reasons. That's outrageous."
"This is not chatter, in the sense of just idle conversation," Lieberman added. "This is some real intelligence."
