People also do not get the problems that minorities feel about Clint Eastwood and MILLION DOLLAR BABY. When this film was released, it spurred outrage, horror, fear and terror among every disabled person in the world. Newspapers were full of articles from disabled people, saying that they wanted to live - and that their biggest fear in all the world was that someone would “pull the plug” on them. MILLION DOLLAR BABY is a film about an Aryan man would murders a person in cold blood because they are a member of a minority group: the disabled.
The support MILLION DOLLAR BABY has received among people who call themselves Leftists or Liberals is shameful, and beyond belief. Killing minorities ought to be the number one objectionable action among all decent people everywhere. It is central to democratic societies. No more killing! No more violence! No more hatred of minorities!

Let’s describe a hypothetical film, MILLION DOLLAR JEWISH LADY.
The heroine is a Jewish woman, in 1940 Munich. She is depressed.
“Being Jewish is a horrible, unendurable experience,” she sighs pathetically. “I am worthless and have nothing to offer anyone, because I am (gasp!) Jewish.”
A kindly SS officer comes up, played by Clint Eastwood.
“I can help you” he says.
The SS Officer leads the Jewish lady to the gas chamber. He kills her. She is grateful that the gas ends her pain of being Jewish and hence worthless.
A touching story of euthanasia!

Hey:
How is MILLION DOLLAR JEWISH LADY different from MILLION DOLLAR BABY?
To interpret MILLION DOLLAR BABY as a delightful story of assisted suicide, you have to agree with the film’s central contention:
Disabled people are worthless.
This is a LIE!
In real life, disabled people make major contributions to society. They are just as valuable humans as everybody else! And so of course are Jews. Everybody is equal and valuable - despite what Republicans say.
