"Do you realize I have not done a movie in five to six years? Why? Because I was totally blackballed by the... liberals in Hollywood," he alleged. "They can destroy you. They're hateful people [who] don't just not like you, they want to take away your livelihood... that's why I live up in the dessert on a dirt road... I don't have to put up with their crap."

Met him many times! Very tall, loved the marine corps dogs and merchandise we gave him.
In the words of an old Marine.. F* ‘em.

For an industry that made and still makes such an incredibly big deal about the McCarthy hearings/Hollywood Blacklist, Hollywood people have no problem blacklisting anyone and everyone they see fit.
I know, I was blacklisted.
It had nothing to do with politics. I worked for several writers in the industry and one day I couldn’t make it in to work for a very important writer. They were expecting me. I called and gave two hours’ notice. They were not happy and never called me back. I understand. But, after that, not one of the other writers I worked for ever called me back either. I was blacklisted.
Not that I cared very much although they were lovely people. Too far to drive.
Must have been a heck of a DI back in the day. He has the knack of scaring the sh*t outta you with just a frown and those flinty eyes.
Didn’t know he voted for Obama, very disappointing. Thought at the very least he would have supported a fellow vet over what we got. Some people carry a lot of white guilt I guess. Too bad. I’d exile him too. Spend his career defending this country and then hands it to a fifth columnist willingly.
From Gunny to Private Pyle in one fell swoop.
I went through my own version of blacklisting except it was in public TV.
Wrong pedigree and I could think for myself.
He lives in a dessert? Sweet! A whole lot nicer than living in a desert.
Why(be specific) did you say this?
Guess I never realized that the Gunny ever voted for a slimebag like Obama,but i bet he knows better now....if he learned anything at all.
He Did ?
Rot R. LEE!
He voted for Obama.
A person I know voted for Obama the first time around. Now she hates him with a vengeance. People change.
A person in Ermey’s shoes HAD to know about rev. wright and the party that was thrown in his/Obama’s church to celebrate 9/11 FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! days after the event.
“No, no, no! Not God bless America!!!! God damn America!!!! It’s in the Bible!!! God damn America!!!!”
A LOT of people can (maybe) be forgiven for voting Obama the first time around. Ermey or any other military man of his age? I don’t think so.
He has his own TV show, and about a half dozen movie credits since 2010, and he’s whining that he’s been blacklisted. What is his major malfunction?
My first thought as well. He had a good run playing himself for the better part of 4 decades. At 72, there's a lot of guys his age in Hollywood whose phones aren't ringing.
Sticky. Ants.
Wow! I like the Gunnie but that is really FUBAR! If you’re listening GSGT Ermey, drop and give me, oh, about a thousand. It ought to be more, but like the rest of us, you’re no spring chicken. :^)
