I have a similar reaction — when I see some of those wacko Leftists who think they are actors. I have a whole list of names I refuse to watch, either on TV programs or movies.

Speaking of which, when does Babs and Cher do their next farewell tours?

As my High School Economics teacher said, "Conservatives think Liberals are people with bad ideas, Liberals think Conservatives are bad people"

There are always exceptions to every rule. I think liberals are bad people with no ideas.

Perhaps, Ben, if you used some of your saving to purchase a brain, watching things would be a bit easier.

While you’re shopping, shove your silly little ideas up your smelly Obamahole.

So, by his logic, the nearly 70% of the country that is not flaming liberal should not go to see his movie either. That means the majority of his audience would be those who cannot pay to attend without using other peoples’ money.

If audiences gave leftwing actors, producers and studios the Maria Conchita Alonso treatment, half the country would never set foot in a theatre.

If only.

We haven't set foot in a movie theater years, ever since it dawned on us that these actors really do hate us, not our opinions, but us.

We've got a great library system that rents DVD's for a month at a time, and since our tax dollars are already paying for them, we just check 'em out. No Hulu, no Netflix, no cable.

Actors land roles by sucking up to producers & directors, so I suppose loud mouthed liberal actors learned to be loud mouthed liberals by trying to get work.

Do bigmouth lefty actors think their skills override the audience’s politics, that conservatives can “suspend disbelief” — even as Affleck admits he can’t when the actor is a “Big Republican”?

****************************************************

As a result of bigmouth lefty actors/actresses and Hollyweird in general, I haven’t been to a movie in a decade or more, so I don’t have a problem “suspending disbelief”. In many cases, movies are based on books - I’d much rather read than watch a movie.

Black list Hollywood. All the best films, made decades ago, are available for our viewing pleasure on Netflix.

You must understand, the Hollywood types believe in freedom of speech, as long as its THEIR speech, the rest of us have no right to disagree and for us, there is no First Amendment. They, examples Matt Damon and Al Gore, are great defenders of the public schools, as is, even though their children attend only lily-white, expensive and exclusive private schools. They are against the “rich” and “one percenters” but their actor incomes can be as much as $ 20 million a picture and people like Harvey Weinstein may be worth hundreds of millions. They will damn Red State people who give three times the percentage of their incomes to church and charity than their Blue State counterparts, while the Hollywood types may make a very public display of dishing out turkey at a homeless shelter once a year on Thanksgiving. In short, they are very strong hypocrites.

What I meant is what’s changing is that conservatives don’t think of the Left as “nice people” any more, and that’s why things are gonna get ugly.

“MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell, formerly a “West Wing” writer, explained why the show lacked sympathetic Republican characters: “You’ll never, ever, get the Republican TV show. The Writers Guild of America, my union, is, at a minimum, 99 percent leftist liberal. ... And we don’t know how to write it. We don’t.”

. . . . .

“West Wing’s” O’Donnell can’t stomach writing about one.”


Larry, O’Donnell did not say he can’t stomach writing about one, he said they don’t know how. We hate it when they twist our words, no reason to do the same. The article stands on its’ own two feet without having to resort to that.

A generous thought. Two words that refute it: Michael Moore.
