I would agree that there's nothing funny about neocons - they usually seem to be particularly lacking in humour and irony.Knowing a little bit about Peter Jackson et al, I feel safe in asserting that the filmmaking team was not promoting a right wing agenda in the LOTR. (Vigo Motensen was at some pains to point this as well.) As Kiwis of a slightly liberal bent, they're not interested furthering US political agendas. They are keen on fantasy films, however. And capitalism.
Besides - this thing is really, I mean REALLY, old news, hashed over ages ago. If you want to get indignant about cultural events fueling public acceptance of neocon propaganda, get indignant over network news, CNN, Fox, PBS and all the other news "journalism" that gave this administration a free pass.
To hear Noam Chomsky's own words on neocons, American imperialism and the Bush administration, I sugest you check out the documentary film "Hijacking Catastrophe", now playing in a very few cities across the USA. (If only this film had gotten the attention and distribution of Farenheit 9/11.)
Last week's New Yorker is also a good read, especially Nicholas Lehmann's piece on GWB, "Remember The Alamo".
