There does seem to be a plan at play here.

Hollywood conservatives have been getting kind of uppity lately and someone has decided that they need to be brought down a notch.

“Look, I respect the heck out of him, and I think for a man whose native tongue is Spanish to be able to put together a phrase like ‘cultural genocide’ just speaks to how bright he is.”

LOL nice backhanded compliment.

The "racist" comment:

“Look, I respect the heck out of him, and I think for a man whose native tongue is Spanish to be able to put together a phrase like ‘cultural genocide’ just speaks to how bright he is.”

When we forget God this is what we devolve to.

Super heroes are, of course, a parable of the divine. They aren’t doing heroic things just because they are rich or have power, but because it is fundamentally right.

But neither is a snide remark a worthy comeback to a lefty take on the sociology of superheros. I hate to see it when the right slides down to the left’s level. It is like it has forgotten why it is.

Guess he forgot his sarcasm tag.

To me what is funny is that “Birdman” is about a guy who had starred as “Birdman”, some superhero character. (Ha, ha, I was going to say “fictional superhero” but then I realized that was sort of redundant.) But I don’t know if the director’s negative feelings about that kind of movie feature in the film.

I honestly think he’s overthinking things. He should probably go out and buy that new album “Beating the Champ” I think it is called by a group called The Mountain Goats. It is all about Professional Wrestling and a lot of it, maybe all of it, about Mexican wrestlers who, as we know, are really over the top. One of the songs is really great, but people in general seem to like it. Heck, Downey should listen to it too. And all the complainers. Maybe it would cheer them up.

The Mexican director has been critical of superhero films in the past, even telling Deadline last October he considers them “cultural genocide.” “The way they apply violence to it, it’s absolutely right-wing,” he told the entertainment industry news outlet. “If you observe the mentality of most of those films, it’s really about people who are rich, who have power, who will do the good, who will kill the bad. Philosophically, I just don’t like them.”

He went "Full Retard."

Mexican, slut, whore, Oriental, Negro, homosexual, lesbian, bimbo, airhead, Arab, Redskin...deal with it, lefties. The cultural genocide is being committed by the Stalinist thought police. Grow a pair and stop apologizing for every utterance, people!

I thought he was a Hollyweird liberal. That breed will eat their own. (See the case of Scarlett Johanssen and Soda Stream.)

Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu thinks it's bad when the good kill the bad?

So then, the good are bad? And then doesn't that make them good again?...

And so on.

And so forth.

He's so philosophical.

Of course the liberal press is going to go after Downey Jr.
He is an unapologetic friend of Mel Gibson.

They hate him.

I'm sure you all remember the media storm when D-Bag Sean Penn said this at the Oscars about Inarritu:

"Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?"

You don't remember? Neither do I. Because Penn and Inarritu are "long time friends" so the media ignored it. Of course, all the other Mexicans he may have offended don't matter.

I don’t like putting money in the director’s pocket, but I’m gonna have to see the movie to support Mr. Downey.

A liberal attack plan:
1. Shout “racist” at conservative opponents.
2. Count on conservatives to skitter, apologize, and attack each other in response.
3. Pray that a conservative doesn’t respond with “And what of it?,” cutting off your plan at the knees.

He walked out of an interview with a liberal. He must be blacklisted.

Downey pulled himself out of drug Hell and reinvented himself. You can't take that away from him. I'm a guy who goes to the movies about once a year and I can sit through a movie staring Downey. He is watchable. Also my 30 year old daughter thinks Downey is the most handsome man in movies. :^)
