Y'all may be right. Part of my reaction is that the line made me think of issues unrelated to the story at hand, (Iraq, specifically) rather than the more global "what are we becoming" points inherent in the story. So, it struck me as distracting and needlessly partisan. But, amen to it anyway.
I must say that, one day later, as I am here at Epcot watching people go by, I am VERY aware of how badly the American public needs the mirror that WALL-E is holding up, myself included.
