Unc and Chris, here you go;
Chris said,” it's more of a pampered lifestyle thing than a liberal thing.” This is a clear illustration of the opinion that Hollywood is not liberal or left leaning and is off base.
Unc said “He also threw in a bit about Howard Dean that was pretty funny. Last time I checked, he was a liberal Dem.” This is what I was referring to with my 50/50 comment. I was reading between the lines here, but the writer has by implication said, “yes there were political digs, but they were at both sides”. As a point of fact yes, but if someone punches you 10 times on the right side of your face, and once on the left side, they can’t then imply that they hate both sides of your face equally…
Unc also said, “Is everyone in Hollywood a liberal? Is everyone in Hollywood outspoken or just the uneducated ones?” Again, very skilled, did you say? No, not exactly, however much can be said without specifically saying something. The subtleties of implication and inference come across very clearly (at least to me!).
To borrow a line from Bob Dole, “you know it, I know it, and the American people know it”. Hollywood is LIBERAL!! And if there is an occasional conservative actor who speaks out, they are typically shunned and ostracized (eaten by their own kind). Case in point, Tom Sellik (SP) did an add for the NRA. He was compensated for a commercial. Rosie Odonnel “crucified him” on her talk show for taking money for doing a commercial because she did not agree with the topic, 2nd amendment rights, which oh by the way is a “conservative” position.
Ever hear of Barbara Strisand? (sp) She’s one of the most vacuous talking heads out there but there are a bevy of other brainless dolts, Sharon Stone, Alec Baldwin, that whacko from the left wing, George Kluney, Gennine Garaffelo. I know I butchered some of these names, but you know who they are.
The simple point I made at the beginning of the thread was that it bothered me to watch them prance around like prima donnas honoring each other and at the same time, kicking the president, the war effort, and my beliefs. It’s almost inconceivable to me that a vendor would intentionally insult their customers. It speaks to the pompous nature of these liberal left wing whacko’s…
