Stop Watching Us


Great video...on the surface. These Hollywood celebs bring up Nixon, yet say absolutely nothing about the person they were, in a large part, directly responsible for putting into office. You screamed about Bush and the Patriot Act, but are silent about this administration, the one that has vastly expanded these domestic spying programs?

Hypocrites.

I really dislike Hollywood types on a soapbox.

I've always said that it's not fair for them to have such a large soapbox. Whether we like it or not, many people set store by what their favorite celebs say.

They're certainly entitled to their opinion, just as you and I are, but we don't get coverage on Entertainment Tonight or have sections of newspapers or entire websites devoted to what we say and do.

I don't blame Obama for everything and I've realized Bush needed more blame from me than I gave him during his time in office, but this video just rubbed me the wrong way, not having a mention of this President's policies. Oh well, it's uber-liberal Hollywood...

Barb said...

Yes it is uber-liberal. Just like the folks I'm surrounded with in Massachusetts higher education.

I've been trying to not use "liberal" as a pejorative as so many conservatives do. It's wrong to do and in fact, I hold many liberal beliefs, but by definition they're "classical liberal" views.

"Progressive" is probably a better term to use, but it doesn't convey the disdain I feel for the far left...which just about the same amount I hold for the far right.
