Hollywood and Politics

[PROGRESSIVE1]

As we all know, the right wing has a history of attacking Hollywood for not being a bastion of right wing ignorance. Historically, the right has attacked Hollywood as a whole. For example, they would say things such as "Hollywood is Un-American", "Hollywood is too liberal" and so forth. If you have listened to the right wing now, they have specifically targeted those in Hollywood who are liberal/left, henceforth the new talking point, "The Liberal Hollywood Elite". Why is this relavent you ask? The right wing noise machine is giving cover to those in Hollywood who are conservative, more so, those in Hollywood who would like to hold public office, a.k.a, Arnold S! By smearing those in Hollywood who dare be liberal, the right wing is giving cover to those who are conservative and would like to hold public office.

Just remember this! This is a new tactic of the right. Smear ONLY those in Hollywood who are openly liberal as to give cover to the conservatives.

Edit: This makes it "o.k" t be in Hollywood and be Conservative, it's just the Liberals who are "bad" now.

1. The new McCarthyism.

2. I find it humorous

... that they incessantly BASH Hollywood, and yet their 'greatest president' (Reagan) was a 2-bit actor ... and now their darling hero Ahnuld is none other than "The Terminator" - a movie 'action hero'.

Oh and what WAS that little scuttle a few years back about Hollywood Violence warping our children ? And what kind of movies does their darling hero Ahnuld make ?

Things that make you go, hmmmm ....

4. I am thrilled to have that image of Chaplin & Shreik holding hands.

Two scapegoats walking off into the sunset together and the balled being kicked between them.
