"Flanked by Spielberg and Springsteen, Obama told an audience of notables such as Kim Kardashian, Samuel L. Jackson, Tyler Perry, Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. about the importance of Holocaust survivors..."

But not, of course, how there came to be a Holocaust, and what poisonous ideologies led up to it.

In addition to the above-listed mucky-mucks, also in attendance were Liam Neeson, Babs Streisand and James Brolin, Judge Judy, Rita Wilson (Mrs. Tom Hanks) and stepson Colin Hanks, Clooney, Sandra Bullock and Jerry Seinfeld.

In keeping with the solemn nature of an event having to do with the genocide of more than 6,000 people, UK’s DailyMail Online ran at least eleven articles about the “star-studded gala”, two of which indicated that the main reason for Obama’s trip to LA was Democrat fundraising, several of which featured the “stars” photobombing one another, two about how Kim Kardashian was not seated near enough to the President and whether that was intended or taken as a slight against her, one about what Kim Kardashian wore, and one about the Corvette Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scalfia rented in L.A. when they arrived for the event.

Here's a little sampling of the tasteful DailyMail coverage (lots of large photos):

How dreadful would the event have been if someone brought a picture of a holocaust oven and discussed the leftist culture that spawns such atrocities. The response of the celebrants would have been indignant outrage, not an examination to insure it could never happen again.

Hollywood has money and therefore they continue to “preach” from their pulpits and engage with political entities and vice-versa... One hand feeds the other.

Our Government mimics Hollywood in many respects...both are corrupt and immoral and highly arrogant, and IMO without God. Therefore it cannot play out any differently then what we are seeing. Recently Angelina Jolene was asked if she would consider running for office...her response was if she thought she could be effective she would.

Spielberg's Shoah Foundation with its empty awards and vulgar gaiety, its Holocaust jokes and humanitarian trophies isn't the cure, it's the disease.

Thanks for the links...
