One of my favorite Oscar-winning actors might have just destroyed his career in Hollywood.
Gary Oldman did what is verboten amidst the Hollywood lovelies; namely, crap on liberal politicians, condemn political correctness and laud libertarian and conservative thought.
In an interview with Playboy, Oldman wields a sledgehammer on the fetid idols that have kept most of the actors that work in Tinseltown at bay.
Check it out.
Regarding political correctness, Oldman said…
“I just think political correctness is crap. That’s what I think about it. I think it’s like, take a f***ing joke. Get over it. … I don’t know about Mel. He got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all f***ing hypocrites. That’s what I think about it.”
Regarding Nancy Pelosi, Oldman said…
“Well, if I called Nancy Pelosi a c**t—and I’ll go one better, a f***ing useless c**t—I can’t really say that. But Bill Maher and Jon Stewart can, and nobody’s going to stop them from working because of it.”
Regarding racism, Oldman said…
“It’s our culture now, absolutely. At the Oscars, if you didn’t vote for 12 Years a Slave, you were a racist. You have to be very careful about what you say. I do have particular views and opinions that most of this town doesn’t share, but it’s not like I’m a fascist or a racist. There’s nothing like that in my history.”
Regarding FOX News’ Charles Krauthammer, Oldman said…
“There are a number of people. A voice I particularly like is Charles Krauthammer. I think he’s incredibly smart. I think he’s fair, very savvy and politically insightful, so I enjoy watching him.”
Regarding a potential Hillary Clinton presidency, Oldman said …
“What can I say? I feel we need some real leadership, and it’s nowhere in sight. Look at what’s happening right now. John Kerry going off to China to talk about North Korea? What’s that going to do? The ludicrousness of it. What a waste of money. You’re going to go to the puppeteer and say, “Can you help me with the puppet?” As far as Hillary, I guess I feel like my character in The Contender, Shelly Runyon. He doesn’t want Joan Allen to become president; he just believes she isn’t the right person for the job. It’s nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman, but he uses a bit of dirt on her to bring her down.”
Oldman might have screwed the pooch as far as his Hollywood buddies go, but as far as God and country loving patriots that are pig sick of the triple standards of political correctness are concerned, I think we might’ve just found a new hero.
Rock-N-Roll, Gary. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
Good for him. He’s big enough now to survive this, and being British helps, in the same way it helped Piers Morgan to be excused things an American wouldn’t have been.
Someone was close to outing him and he struck first and hard.
Good.
Holy batcrap, Commissioner Gordon!
One of may favorite actors just got bumped up the list several notches
Worth repeating....
The man who masterfully played Beethoven in “Immortal Beloved”, one of my very favorite movies (it’s all about the music), does a number on the looney left! Gotta love it!!
And calling Nancy Pelosi a c... (again, read without the ellipses) hardly advances debate forward.
He has been an open conservative for years.

I dunno about ‘open’. There are a few that are either suspected or make some noises. Which is why they have their secret society there. But if he were truly open he would have been long-since a footnote on Hollywood.
Not to district him. I’m just saying he wasn’t fire and Brimstone.
Grrr........
DISRESPECT him
I love his phone commercial: blah, blah, blah
Ditto - EVERY thing you just said.
It IS all about the music.
It’s the only movie that made this grown man cry - re: when the mother of his child reads the ‘lost’ letter, in the final scene, backed up by Piano Concerto #5...
Lol
I love this guy. I even paid to see that piece of s___t remake of Robocop because he was in it.
Oldman took a lot of crap in the 80s in England for vocally supporting Margaret Thatcher. He’s been a vocal conservative his whole life and, as you can see in this interview, he holds absolutely nothing back. Its so refreshing.
Amen!!
Unrequited love is one thing. But to never have received the letter? Just WOW.
Big deal. BTW Townhall.com didn’t write the article
