"Before it hit theaters, The Lorax fended off lackluster reviews  from critics and warnings from Lou Dobbs and other conservative  commentators that the tree-hugging movie — a cautionary tale about the  environmental dangers of profit-hungry developers — was trying to 'indoctrinate our children' in Obama-esque ideology. The Lorax's 'savvy marketing' certainly helped it smash box-office records.  But Universal Studios should also consider sending flowers to  right-wing commentators like Dobbs. 'Their fulminations were just so  much free publicity, alerting the dads watching the Fox Business Network  that their children had a movie to see this weekend.'"
