He's looking more and more like Hitler every day.

[Sgt_Schultze]

The US should nationalize the film industry.

[Cheetahcat]

Gee Ollie ,How about the Communist controlled Film industry as well???

[BradtotheBone]

Like I really care what a film director thinks about national policy.

[Zeppelin]

...because that’s worked so well for the country of his hero, Mr. Chavez.

[Army Air Corps]

And we should take the advice of this putz because?

How about we turn Hollweird into an American version of Mosfilm? How about that, Ollie? You can beg for film stock from the State Ministry for Film and Culture.

[chesley]

Oh, yeah! That’s all we need. to develop the roaring economy of South Americans hell-holes

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We should nationalize the movie industry as well.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Right - because the Federal Government is far more experience in these matters - just look at how well the have handled the response! (is it tee time yet?)

[CodeToad]

US should nationalize, read:takeover, hollywood and make producers take minimum wage salaries.

[hinckley buzzard]

Patience, Oliver. They're working on it. Not for nothing I have recognized and acknowledged the US Gubbermint to be in a state of war against the American People.

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill shows that the United States should follow the example of South American socialists in nationalizing its energy industry, filmmaker Oliver Stone said Tuesday.

There is one and only one reason for nationalizing resources anywhere: To enable leaders to steal them and bank billions of dollars in foreign bank accounts.

Where resources (and other industries) are nationalized, production drops, the free market has less value and REVENUES TO THE GOVERNMENT drop. In many places in Africa, countries with $TRILLIONS in resources manage to extract <10% of the amount they extracted in colonial times (>40 years ago.) Those countries could be earning $billions in taxes, salaries, infrastructure upgrades and trade, but instead, the resources remain untapped or looted and only the elites in government benefit.

[VideoDoctor]

Thank you Oliver ( head up your a$$ ) Stone!

[Spok]

How does Mr. Stone imagine that he and his industry will remain immune from nationalization? Has he ever actually read any history?

[mainsail that]

Start with a 99% tax for Hollywood actors.

[BitWielder1]

"We shouldn't make this kind of profit on oil or on health or on war or on prisons. All these industries should be public industries."

How come it's OK to get rich selling makeup, scandals, crappy films or crappy music but you are not allowed to get rich providing a truly valuable service or product, like health or energy?
Typical liberal upside-down thinking.

[Mich Patriot]

Oliver Stone is an A$$HOLE!

I prefer Oliver Clothesoff!

[wku man]

From IMDB.com:

"After dropping out of Yale University, Oliver Stone became a soldier in the Vietnam War.(snip)
Returning from the war, Stone did not return to graduate from Yale."

So...he dropped out of college and never returned, not to college anyway, but he apparently did go to "film school".

Not to disparage college dropouts, of whom I know many, but what exactly is Oliver Stone's training and education that makes him an expert in international business/oil production/anything other than making crap movies?

Therefore, why should we give a tenth of a flying flip about anything he has to say?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[stratboy]

He needs to shut up and keep making movies that suck. I challenge anyone to name one movie that this skitzo has made that didn’t make you want to fall asleep in the first hour.

[BARLF]

US should nationalize oil resources

No kidding?

I am stunned ....NOT.

[wac3rd]

I think we should deport him to North Korea and revoke his US passport.
