Deroy Murdock: 'Blazing Saddles' and other classic films don’t deserve wrath of social justice warriors

By Deroy Murdock | Fox News

    Classic films now face the wrath of perpetually enraged social justice warriors. Last weekend’s "Watters World" on Fox News Channel analyzed the impact of this politically correct phenomenon.

Exhibit A was Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles,” the single funniest motion picture ever committed to celluloid.

Jesse Watters’ guest, Cathy Areu, publisher of Catalina Magazine, responded to a clip of the comedy-Western in which Brooks himself portrays a Yiddish speaking American Indian chief.

After securing safe passage for a family of black pioneers rolling West in their stagecoach, the feather-headdress-clad Indian bids them, “auf wiedersehen.”

The greatest movie lampooning racism ever.  Even better than "All in the Family."  Areu is a humorless bitch.  There, I said it.
