Along with the liberal creations of a right to marry and a right to an abortion, liberal attorney Leo Terrell proclaimed on the Fox News Channel that \u201cHollywood has the right\u00a0<\/em>to make a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there is a right to free speech in America, and no true conservative wants that right to be infringed, there are also responsibilities that Hollywood must consider. In this case, Terrell was defending the right for NBCUniversal to distribute the movie \u201cThe Hunt.\u201d<\/a> <\/strong>The movie, which was recently pulled<\/a> <\/strong>from the company\u2019s movie schedule, had been marketed as a horror story about rich, elite Americans kidnapping and hunting their \u201cdeplorable\u201d counterparts.<\/p>\n

In the debate about these rights on \u201cThe Ingraham Angle,\u201d Project 21<\/a> <\/strong>Co-Chairman Horace Cooper<\/a> <\/strong>responded:<\/p>\n

Why do people lose their right as a citizen to comment on these movies? These movies that are violent. These movies that have disturbing messaging.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Horace said the problem is that Hollywood is catering to an extremely small segment of the population with these movies:<\/p>\n

This is the problem that Hollywood has. This fever dream on the part of a couple of writers and directors and producers to say let\u2019s just talk to a small segment of the American society and have this idea \u2013 a murder fetish.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t gonna make any money. It never is gonna make any money.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a sign that Hollywood really is kinda out of ideas. It\u2019s really kind of pitiful when you think about it, when there are really good ideas \u2013 credible ideas \u2013 that could have been put forward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And \u201cThe Hunt\u201d is not an aberration of Hollywood\u2019s get-work\/go-broke filmmaking proclivity. This film comes from the makers of \u201cGet Out\u201d<\/a> <\/strong>and \u201cThe Purge,\u201d<\/a> <\/strong>which are steeped in conspiracy about race and class divisions.
