I was so proud of Seth Rogan

[cyclonefence]

On Colbert, he described being invited to speak at an Alzheimer's awareness event, a cause he supports, and two young fans asked for a photo with him. He was happy to oblige. Then the kids' father showed up and asked for a photo. The dad was Paul Ryan. Taken aback, Rogan *refused* to be photographed with Ryan and furthermore told him why: I hate everything you are doing to this country, and I can't wait until you are no longer in a position to do harm to us.

I'm so proud because it was in front of Ryan's kids--Rogan said he was aware and concerned about that, but he felt the sons needed to know about their father--and it was so unexpected and sudden that the normal response would have been "sure," but Rogan kept his head about him and refused.

Go Seth Rogan!

The public shaming we are seeing of members of this administration is heartening. When is the last time we've seen a white woman refused service at a restaurant in Virginia? When has an elected official been hounded out of a movie theater by shouting citizens?

I think the tide may have turned.

Jesus, I hope so. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

1. Yes it's time for shaming. I did my own part with shaming my sister today. nt

[hedda_foil]

2. OOh, oooh! Spill! What happened with your sister?

[Trek4Truth]

4. It it way too much to type out here ...but let's just say I ended it with:

SHAME
I'll be sure to tell your grandchildren you voted for tRUMP because you still support and defend him.

3. good synopsis

Always liked Seth but now I have great respect.

6. Glad he did this. Wish the kids weren't part of it,

but Rogan had another reason, of course, for refusing to be photographed with Ryan. It would have been used by professional spinners and amateur to claim and "prove" his support for what he opposes.

7. You know that picture would've been prominently displayed in Ryan's office nt

8. :) "Warm-hearted" pop-up on many millions of screens.

[samnsara]

11. i would 'respectfully decline'...not giving them any fodder for hating me..

...but hell NO I wont take a photo with u!

[Hortensis]

16. Good trick. :) You do realize that taking ANY position,

no matter how courteously, will rally millions from various groups to hate any celebrity in these insanely partisan days. Just look at many of the threads here, and we're the good guys.

9. add that to the shunning at the resturants and theater!

you are right.. I think public shaming and shunning is the only thing that these sub humans will understand. I just hope Im strong enuff and brave enuff to shun them in the same manner if I have the chance too. But I have Patti Murry, Maria Cantwell, Pramila Jayapal, Bob Ferguson and Jay Inslee representing my state...not too many to protest unless we get Cathy McMorris Rodgers cornered somewhere.

12. Shaming is working, keep it up.

13. The way to learn empathy as a natural human emotion...

- for those who by nature seem to lack it (R's) - is to experience intolerance for themselves.

To be shunned, shamed and ostracized is probably the only way to get through to these people.

Most of us learned this stuff in kindergarten, but it's never too late.

19. This! Exactly.

14. Good for him!

He's been a vocal opponent of this nightmare regime.
