I thought he was supposed to be a libertarian. :/

Have you ever read one of his comics ?

I am not a bit surprised.

Whoa, some angry, angry comments happening at the bottom of that Frank Miller rant. (None from Frank himself, as far as I could see.) More entertainment value there than in the actual rant.

>2 Papiervisje:

I have been a huge Frank Miller fan since his first run on DAREDEVIL back in the late '70s - early '80s. The Miller I knew was (note past tense) always an outspoken advocate for civil liberties, a passionate and fearless advocate for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and other proponents of free expression. That he would take the stance he has toward the Occupy movement strikes me as hypocritical in the extreme.

>3 wookiebender:

Daniel Calvisi's comment was brilliant. Frank is more full of shit than a colostomy bag and he quite rightly called him on it.

Got to say I feel much the same as Frank about lot who are camped in front of London's St Paul's. Bone idle unwashed layabouts who think their dole money comes down like the rain from Heaven instead of from the taxes of decent hard-working people.
