Look Who Isn't Talking: Hollywood's Conspicuous Silence on the Van Gogh Slaughter

It's a good point, after all. I haven't heard Tim Robbins expounding on the "chill wind" of oppression as regards this filmmaker's butchery at the hands of Muslim extremists:

One would think that in the name of artistic freedom, the creative community would take a stand against filmmakers being sent into hiding à la Salman Rushdie, or left bleeding in the street. Yet we've heard nary a peep from Hollywood about the van Gogh slaying. Indeed Hollywood has long walked on eggshells regarding the topic of Islamic fundamentalism. The film version of Tom Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears" changed Palestinian terrorists to neo-Nazis out a desire to avoid offending Arabs or Muslims. The war on terror is a Tinsel Town taboo, even though a Hollywood Reporter poll showed that roughly two-thirds of filmgoers surveyed would pay to see a film on the topic.

Not as important, but more interesting-fun is this:

The producer [of an anti-Kerry Club for Growth commercial] was David Zucker, a self-described "Sept. 12 Republican," who made such classics as "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun."

Like I say: conservatives in Hollywood are like closeted gays in Hollywood. You just never can tell.

David Zucker? Get out!

Seriously, man, call me. I've got a great script for you.

That is a very good point and another example of selective outrage, like the fact that no one is marching against the Sudanese genocide with signs that say HEY CHINA, NO BLOOD FOR OIL.

Deapite the fact that Hollywood Liberals share much of the worldview of Islam in that the US is the cause of most of the trouble in the world, even they "know in their hearts" how evil Islam truly is, though they try mightily to surpress it. But being Liberals, they are GUTLESS COWARDS who operate out of fear in most everything they do. It makes them feel powerful to bellow scatlogiacal nonsense about Bush when they know full well it will cause no trouble for them and will be applauded by their ilk. This is exactly why they are so vocal against "the establishment." But they can't handle the personal fear of possible retribution from Islam. They can't even handle the fear we must all live with when we as a nation confront terrorism. It makes them unconfortable and uneasy and even more fearful which is PRECISELY why they get so insane about Bush. Their childish unconscious thread goes like this: if only we could get rid of W we could make peace and I wouldn't have to live in fear anymore!!! They are typical GUTLESS COWARDLY LIBERALS and it is up to us all to get rid of them.

No, no...see, Van Gogh DESERVED to be butchered in the street because he was intolerant and said crude, non-PC things about Muslims.

But I wouldn't expect you non-nuanced, incurious, simpleton followers of the Smirking Chimp to understand what I'm talking about.

Its a liberal thing, you wouldn't understand.

If memory serves, Zucker also did "Baseketball". So he's not just a "Sept. 12 Republican," but also a "South Park Republican."

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
