Great article in today's WSJ OpinionJournal. Mr. Anderson hits all the required elements:

• Reference to Hollywood box office... Check
• Hyperbolic quote from a "conservative media critic"... Check
• Uninformed Hillary! quote... Check
• Reference to paragon of virtue Joe Lieberman... Check

Them he veers off the well trodden road:

• Reference to past "new media" scares... Check
• Overwhelming majority of game are not violent... Check
• The Industry ratings system works... Check
• Kids have $50-$60 in playin-around money?... Check
• First Amendment defense... NO Check!

While missing the First Amendment and cost to the taxpayer angles, he still does a wonderful job of debunking the "Tipper Gores of the 21 Century" types. My favorite bit?

The truth is, critics are often ignorant of the moral universe of video games--violent games included.

Please, if you read anything today, read this, we need more of this type of anti-propaganda
