Meryl Streep Pledges to Stand Up to ‘Brownshirts’ in Tirade Against Trump
NYT ^ | 12 Feb2017 | Sopan Deb

Meryl Streep, in a fiery speech criticizing President Trump on Saturday night, pledged to stand up against “brownshirts and bots” at a time when she and others are increasingly denouncing his administration’s policies and the president himself.

Ms. Streep, in New York City accepting an award from the Human Rights Campaign, referred to the backlash she received after the Golden Globes in January, when she gave a speech denouncing Mr. Trump.

“It’s terrifying to put the target on your forehead, and it sets you up for all sorts of attacks and armies of brownshirts and bots and worse, and the only way you can do it is to feel you have to,” Ms. Streep said. “You have to. You don’t have an option. You have to.”

Exactly. She has the nerve to act like she’s so brave and facing brownshirts while Hollywood intimidates, threatens dissent and all the Democrat groups are engaged in violent protests!

Well Meryl, get out there and stand between the hammers and the plate glass which the brownshirts were smashing in their own Berkeley Krystallnacht to keep a Jew from speaking.

This is the Democrat’s replay of the Democrat KKK for a new generation. These masked leftist totalitarian fascists belong to the Democrats and should be named The New Democrat KKK.

"Actors and actresses make a living pretending to be people they are not. The continual pretending becomes a way of life. Meryl is pretending she is someone in authority."

Totally agree! I was just talking about that very thing today. Those who've become rich and famous for their ability to go deep into the world of make-believe make complete fools of themselves when they step out of the fantasy world and into the harsh light of reality. They are totally out of their element, and blathering nonsense.

They may not all start out as narcissists, but the constant fawning by those who haven't their own lives seems to make them so.

They think that since they play many interesting and sometimes noble people, they take on all the best attributes of those people - they need to be reminded they are the paste that masquerades as the real gems - Maggie Thatcher must be looking down from Heaven and saying, "Shut your stupid trap, you bloody bitch..."

Just call her Mrs. Goebbels.
She is a leader of the brownshirts, of fanatics bent on suppressing any disession through violence.
Of course, in keeping with her propaganda, she is accusing us of what she is actually doing.

Funny that she played opposite James Woods in “Holocaust” and yet they couldn’t be further apart politically.

Note to Berkeley rioters: if you’re breaking glass at night because a Jew is speaking, you’re not protesting fascism. You are fascism. — Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist.
