Vaughn, Gervais and Voight should make a film.....make a statement. Hollywood used to be a uniting force in our country
It would be a mistake to think Gervais is anywhere near being a conservative. Not to mention hes a Brit.
Some of his tweets:
I didn’t roast Hollywood for being a bunch of liberals. I myself am a liberal. Nothing wrong with that. I roasted them for wearing their liberalism like a medal. I’m such a snowflake, liberal, I can’t even really hate them for it. But my job is to take the piss. I did that.
1. Simply pointing out whether someone is left or right wing isn’t winning the argument.
2. If a joke is good enough, it can be enjoyed by anyone.
3. It’s not all about you.
4. Just because you’re offended, doesn’t mean you’re right.
Ive noticed a couple of tweets criticising me for accepting new followers who are the opposite of me. Christian, conservative, pro life, pro gun, reactionaries. Of course I accept them. To err is human, to forgive divine. Its what Jesus would do. Dog Bless all my followers.
But I still love the guy:
If you dont believe in free speech for people who you disagree with, and even hate for what they stand for, then you dont believe in free speech.
MD - Fair point, I should have been more clear, Gervais as you know has been most vocal / pushing back on Hollywoods claim of moral superiority. It would be great if actors would take the overt step to produce films with casts spanning political views. Its OK to disagree politically , we can work together......
