PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Chris Stigall spoke with comedian Rob Schneider on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT about the struggle comedians face in today’s current political environment. Schneider struck on ominous tone when discussing the path he sees the country on.
“Democracies don’t end well. We are sliding very fast towards fascism. It’s an ugly kind of thing. There’s this kind of mob mentality that we have to be careful of,” he said.
He believes comedians are pressured toward one side of the political spectrum.
“There’s a polarization that’s happening…I do think you look can look at government and go, ‘Wow, it is out of control now,’ and if you do criticize or tend to be not directly along a liberal stand, you can get murdered,” Schneider commented.
Schneider was very critical of the President’s handling of the economy and he feels certain policies are impacting businesses.
“There’s not one segment of business under the Obama administration that hasn’t been hurt…he attacks for-profit schools, which is totally an elitist thing from a guy that went to Harvard. I think for free, by the way,” Schneider said.
He was also critical of the media for being overly influenced by the government and not standing up for the American people.
“We don’t really have freedom of the press. It’s owned by about eight different companies, and it doesn’t really express or help the average American,” Schneider stated.
Good thing his buddy Adam Sandler puts him in all his movies, because he’s gonna be dead to the Hollywood crowd.
In a way its kind of strange that comedians seem to be a growing voice for freedom at this point.
Louis CK has gone to war over common core. He says “My kids used to like math. Now it just makes them cry.”
A couple of the Adam Sandler regulars have been vocal about the idiocractic fascism of Obamamerica.
Sandler is a Republican.
Yeah. Meanwhile, the rest of the SNL alums are taking over entertainment media and it’s news arm, late-night talk.
Allen Covert is another one of the conservative Happy Gilmour crowd.

America has been a fascist state since 1933. FDR was an admirer of Mussolini up until his invasion of France in 1940. Most of the "New Deal" programs that we live under today are fascist in origin.
America has endured over 80 years of fascism. Few of our leaders have even recognized the reality and none have dared to attack the core programs. Our largest "private sector" enterprises work symbiotically with the state. They are after all, too big to fail. Fascists also enjoy nearly complete of the means of propaganda and can use it to manipulate public opinion and crush any opposition that emerges.
Obama may want to be a more pure Marxist but for the purpose of wielding power, fascism works just fine for him.
Jonah Goldberg, son of Lucianne and National Review editor, wrote a book in 2007 with that title.
From page 1:
[George] Carlin: When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley. Fascism — Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won it. Believe me, my friend.
This guy on twitter has been merciless in putting the boots to the liberal fantasy that fascism is a right wing ideology.
So nice ya had to say it twice?(post #5)
You know Tim McVeigh blew up children in a daycare center right? Why don’t you call him a visionary to the faces of one of those still grieving fathers or brothers.
I was joking guys.
America was finished for generations either way. This is part of democracy going down. If Obama wasn't there plenty of left wing elements in federal and state government and the judiciary would take it down anyway. Romney is meek when confronted and would have had very little impact on the whole process.
Timothy McVeigh chose a random Federal target with innocent civilians in proximity. He chose poorly. Besides, what’s your point?
OK. Use the /sarc tag next time. It’s cool.
