I hear that this new guy who ripped off a bunch of Hollywood's Liberal Elite in this latest scam was a busboy in New York.
I'm still waiting for them all to come out and plead that he not be prosecuted, since he was simply doing to them on his own what they want to do to US with taxes... redistributiuon of the rich folks' wealth to the poor. So he chose a more direct method.. so what?
Right?

Well, neglecting that he went about it illegally ...
"Hollywood Liberal Elite." Wow. Who coined that term?

If it was the Communist Elite, then I'd understand what you're saying.
But since I'm a liberal, and since I don't think that way (I'd prefer narrowing the gap between the rich and poor, but not obliterating it completely), I don't know what you're saying.

I used to beleive in narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, but it was when I still belonged to the latter, now that I'm in the former, I say forget it, I like being rich. If a bus-boy decides to steal, the he should be punished, because rich people don't get where they are by having an easy job like a bus-boy, but they do it with education and hard work, if he decides to play Robin Hood he should pay the price.

See, if the Hollywood liberals were as liberal as they pretend to be, they wouldn't mostly live in multi-million dollar gated mansions with heavily-armed security, and wouldn't take eleventy-zillion dollars per picture and keep it all for themselves.
I don't see any of 'em saying "I wanna pay more taxes! I wanna do MY part to help out the lower class with all my vast estates! Come on in! TAKE MY MONEY AWAY!!!"
Entertainment? Yeah, entertainment, they like giving that to the lower class. Keeps 'em distracted. Who can think about their pocketbook when there's a good talk show / awards show / game show on?
No, they're just like the conservatives when it comes to their money. If it'll make them look good, they'll donate to charity, but otherwise, it's 'hands off my money, I'ma buy me some houses on both coasts and huge tracts of land in isolated countryside.'

There's a difference between "liberal" and "communist", First. Not all liberals have to be communists -- they just have to pay more percent-wise taxes than the less-rich. Maybe you should learn that difference?
Speaking of which, you seem to have bought into the "left wing conspiracy" theory banted around by AM radio nuts. You sure all of 'em were liberal? Or are you just assuming that Democrat = liberal again? (Speaking of which, you're a registered Democrat, aren't you? You liberal!) And, for that matter, how do you know what these celebrities are registered as? Do you even have a good reason to assume they're either Democrats or liberals, or do you just make the assumption that Hollywood = Liberal scum?

Actually, I quit being a registered Demoncrat shortly after the election.
Conspiracy? No. Rampant stupidity, yes.
Hollywood follows the Liberal Cause-of-the-Week. You've got some of them supporting ALF (which 'releases' lab animals into environments they're not suited for, and which may carry diseases), ELF (those arsonists who want us all to live in hutches like hobbits), Gun Banning (not control, outright banning), Hard-Core environmentalism (without understanding anythng behind it), Free Mumia (a man guilty as sin, sorry), Pot (Thanks, Woody, we really need that), et cetera ad nauseum.
You can't say that they don't, with so many celebrities making arses of themselves in the news for such things all the time.
I'm not pointing out any conspiracy, I'm pointing out the hypocracy. I do the same with a group in my area, a bunch called the Hutterian Brethren, who live in an isolated commune up in the mountains, but come down every so often to march against the death penalty. And I'm sorry, but people who live in isolated, gated, utopian little communities shouldn't try to dictate polict to those of us who live in the REAL world.
Celebrities who support animal rights should be vegans who don't wear leather or fur or use ANY product made in any way from animals.. including gelatins. Environmentalists shouldn't live in large sprawling houses, or use any product the manufacture of which has any effect on the environment (which means.. ALL of them). Gun banners shouldn't have well-armed security crawling all over them. Being otherwise and still supporting these causes is hypocritical.

Are you certain the specific people victimized by this person were democrats? If so, are you certain that they're liberal?
If I recall correctly, Oprah Winfrey was one of those people who were robbed by this person. Now, wait, she's not that woman who had Dubya on her show, is she? Gasp! That wouldn't be the show that started a rise in his popularity, would it? GASP! Please, Rob, please, show a link between the people victimized and their being Democrats. Then, show that they're liberal.
Liberalism is a vast net which encompases many special interest groups. Although I'm a liberal, I'm not particular interested in ALF or ELF one way or the other. The Mumia movement (another I don't agree with), wants a new trial -- not freedom outright. And the thing with Pot again, really, there's another thread devoted to drugs -- go look there, huh?
quote:Celebrities who support animal rights should be vegans who don't wear leather or fur or use ANY product made in any way from animals.. including gelatins.
Although I'm not a celebrity, and I'm not a vast supporter of animal rights (I hold off that the watant abuse of animals is wrong, and the food-processing industry should be investigated for that; that pets should be neutered to keep the dog & cat population down; & that pet owners who abuse their pets should be tossed in jail), but I don't use geletins. I do have a leather coat, but since I'm also a big fan of a double quarter pounder with cheese and not a vegan, this isn't hipocracy.
quote:Environmentalists shouldn't live in large sprawling houses,
Even when made of synthetic material? But again, I don't live in a large, sprawling house, I live in a tiny apartment. And enviornmentalism is more geared towards making sure that replinshment of the enviornment goes on. Look at Peru: chopping down so much of their rainforest for more farm-land because they fail to let their farmlands go "fallow" for a few years, thus rendering the land un-farmable and forcing them to cut down more rainforest for more farmland which they're going to fuck up the same damn way.
quote:Gun banners shouldn't have well-armed security crawling all over them.
I would agree. But then again, there's a difference between the run of a mill "I just turned 21!" kid buying a gun and someone like a police officer or ex-military man knowing how to actually use a gun and being available for security reasons.
quote:Being otherwise and still supporting these causes is hypocritical.
So in other words, the whole purpose of this thread was to bash liberals? How childish.
Heather's a friend of mine. She goes to JHU. Her dad's an investment banker in New York. Conservative guy -- blew a gasket when he saw my "Gore 2000" sticker on my Jeep. Church going, whole nine-yards. Yet, he offered to pay for Heather's abortion because "he didn't want some nigger bastard in the family" (oh, I should mention, she's a liberal, her b/f is black, and she refused to have an abortion -- he's 6 months old now -- but that didn't stop Daddy dearest the "god-fearing" conservative from pushing the money on her), his favorite saying is "bet you're glad you're not a nigger, 'cuz the klan is getting bigger", and ... did I mention he's a conservative? How hypocritical.

Jeff, First is pointing out that there are multitude of Hollywood people out there who are hypocritical. I'm sure we can name a long list of celebrities who fit the profile First gave. Here you can only find...one?
Secondly, he's talking about celebrities. Last I knew, you weren't famous for anything. I don't think delivering pizzas is enough to make you a celebrity.
------------------ "Goverment exists to serve, not to lead. We do not exist by its volition, it exists by ours. Bear that in mind when you insult your neighbors for refusing to bow before it." J. Richmond
a) If First can furnish proof that the celebrities involved actually are registered Democrats, that would be one thing. So far, he's just equating "celebrity" with "hollywood" and "liberal."
b) The point of the example I gave, is that just because someone calls themselves something does not mean that they are.
And when I sell my script to Star Trek: Enterprise, I'll be that much closer to fame ...
