I think Vince Vaughn is pretty tight with Glen Beck too.

"Actor/comedian Russell Brand told the BBC he wants "a socialist, egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth."

And just where is this wealth going to come from in such a system? Russell needs to review a few quotes by Maggie Thatcher.

I think the Hollywood Left needs to ask the elderly survivors of the former Soviet Union under Stalin or China under Mao what it was like to live under rigid socialism. That's why I'm not a fan of the Left in the first place.

Hypocrites? I always thought they are nothing more than ignorant, bloviating a$$ clowns.

Yet another celebrity opens her big mouth..Katy Perry turned down her parents’ request to attend O’s inauguration, where she was performing. Here’s what she said: “My parents are Republicans, and I’m not,” she continued. “They didn’t vote for Obama, but when I was asked to sing at the inauguration, they were like, ‘We can come.’ And I was like, ‘No, you can’t. I love you so much, but that—on principle.’ They understood, but I was like, ‘How dare you?’ in a way.” Makes me sick to my stomach.

Russel Brand? I’ve never heard of him and I doubt I missed anything.

"Russel Brand? I’ve never heard of him and I doubt I missed anything."

I've heard of him but I've never seen him in anything. From what I've heard you are correct that you haven't missed anything.

Long-time Democrat Steven Spielberg is reputed to own one of the largest collection of WWI and II-era firearms in private hands.

I still like his films though...

Let’s see how this socialism works out for them. Let’s massively redistribute their wealth.

They believe in it, they should be the first ones to volunteer to do it.

Otherwise just hypocrites.

I think he was married for a nanosecond to Ms. Perry. See post #8 on this thread for a little info about the lovely woman.

Russell Brand??? Isn’t that a breakfast cereal you eat to regulate your colon?

Forgive me but this has long been a favorite writing of mine on their hypocrisy and I wanted to share it.

Actors who think of themselves as part of the privileged left think they will maintain their celebrity with the government elites. They have enough cushioning them from the controllers they don’t believe they will ever lose it.

Shmucks who are robbed by government enough to feel the pain know who their enemy is. Big corporations don’t tax us, and they don’t make laws that control us. I’ve never had a corporation tell me what kind of food I can eat, or what kind of light bulb I can have, or what kind of toilet I can have in my house. Big corporations don’t grab my guns, tax my fuel, or tell me what kind of words I can use, or what kind of customers I have to serve. I’ve never had a big corporation tax me, regulate me, and seek to control every aspect of my life. Big government is evil in ways big corporations don’t even think about.

He’s a “comedian” who is even less funny than Dane Cook.

I wish someone could tell them to look around at their lives, all their property, everything they own. Now, you want socialism? Fine. All that you see, everything that you own is as much as you are ever going to have in your lifetime.

Your life is the very best it will ever be in the second before socialism takes hold, because you will spend the rest of your life watching the government take everything you have. Maybe quickly, maybe slowly, but make no mistake. They will take everything you have away from you.

Exactly! Would that those who preach ‘massive redistribution of wealth’ would have THEIRS redistributed immediately. How much would Clooney be left with-of his 100 million? Would Ford mind if 6 aircraft were immediately confiscated to be sold? I just want these people to LIVE THE DREAM! Let there be the socialism they long for- and let it begin with THEM!
