Evan Sayet’s Journey From ‘Brain-Dead Liberal’ to Hollywood Conservative

"It is absolutely well known that if you support a Republican you are going to find it harder to find work and the reason is simple," Hollywood comedian Evan Sayet explained to me seated at an outside table at one of the many Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf establishments that dot Los Angeles.

"Dennis Prager says that Republicans think that Democrats are stupid. Democrats think Republicans are evil. I can work with stupid. If you are good at your job and you are stupid that is one thing. But I can't work with evil. And liberals believe that if you are not indiscriminate like they are, you are an evil discriminator."

While Sayet himself says that he has not personally experienced such political discrimination because he has "wholly removed myself from Hollywood" since becoming a conservative, he knows many Republicans in Hollywood who hide their political orientation for fear of being put on what he refers to as the "grey list."

I think that Democrats are evil. Evil by intent. They kill babies and say “so what”. They seek to undercut the family and the nation. We have to do with less because we lead the world and it’s not fair.

I find that Democrats think Republicans are selfish.

Then again they also never understood Aesop’s fable about the ants and the grasshopper.

They seem to hold to the anarchist maxim that all property is theft.

Sayet sounds arab if I am right that would make the story a bit more interesting.

HERITAGE FOUNDATION: "How Modern Liberals Think" Evan Sayet YouTube

[WackySam]

Evan is brilliant (and a he's a Freeper).

For those that haven't seen his speech at the Heritage Foundation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaE98w1KZ-c

It is a must see.

Dennis Prager says that Republicans think that Democrats are stupid.

I used to think Democrats are stupid. No more. They are evil.

It takes a special kind of evil to repeatedly ignore the evidence and continue to make choices that will hurt your neighbors and your country. And then an extra dash of evil to employ voter fraud, political correctness, and other fascist tactics to get your way. We can no longer excuse liberals by saying they're stupid.

marking for later

Sayet does say it. He hits the mark for my generation and the unthinking liberal ethos we grew up under. The unthinking, emotive and charismatic is for the TV generation from JFK to Obama. Fashionable Liberal elites like to project themselves as cool, casual and informal but in reality, after the show, they bow to their masters. Hollywood is the natural home for this fiction.

Democrats aren’t evil.
They are just cold, calculating, manupulating, vindictive ...
Yeah, I guess they are evil.

[ExGeeEye]

He’s a Joooooooooo.

I forget where I heard it but I think he gave a speech enshrined on youtube where he said so.

(BTW I’m with Charlie Chaplin on this one: when asked if he was a Jew, he said “I regret I do not have that honor.”)
