On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, liberal host Bill Maher and actor Jim Carrey celebrated recent Democratic candidates running on far-left platforms and identifying themselves as "socialists," leading Carrey to proclaim: "We have to say yes to socialism -- to the word and everything. We have to stop apologizing."
As Maher turned the discussion to the midterm elections and the successful primary campaigns of candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the liberal comedian rejoiced that Democrats are moving to the far left on issues:
And they did it with unabashed liberal proposals -- Medicare for all, ending student debt, a different approach to the war on terror, ending mass incarceration. It seems like if there is a -- maybe shining spot in this Trump tragedy, it's that it's made the Democrats sort of rediscover who they are.A bit later, he lamented that Democrats have not not done a good enough job of countering Republicans complaining that they are running on a "socialist" platform.
Carrey soon referred to his childhood in Canada and spoke in favor of socialism:
I grew up in Canada, okay, we have socialized medicine. And I'm here to tell you that this bullshit line that you get on all of the political shows from people is that it's a failure - the system is a failure in Canada. It is not a failure, and I never waited for anything in my life. I chose my own doctors. My mother never paid for a prescription -- it was fantastic.And I just got back from Vancouver, and I keep hearing, "Canadians are so nice -- Canadians are so nice." They can be nice because they have health care --

It’s always helpful when they drop the mask. Like Warren Beatty did in “Bulworth.”
What Jim is too freaking dumb to understand is Canada can afford Socialism because WE provide their Military Protection. They have very little cost for Military Compared to the U.S
I mean how many parts and service personnel do you need for 2 biplanes powered by a 28 HP Briggs and Stratton, along with a fleet of 4 Lund 20 ft. Boats rigged with 150 Merc. Outboards?
Jim Carrey can move his one act show back any day!
I’m so old I remember when this pecksniff was at least somewhat funny.
Socialism is against human nature, so it absolutely always has to be forced. You have to have a group of elites to rule over the others. Its only destination is tyranny.
If socialism is so great, Hollywood should embrace it. Every SAG member, from the A-list stars of the highest grossing movies of the year to unemployed actor who didn’t work gets paid the same!
MAKE THEM LIVE BY THEIR STUPID IDEAS.
Lol!
Crazy is, as crazy does....roles for funny men must be getting hard to get in Hollywood.
That would be fantastic. Clooney should be the first one to sign up for this. :D
So, is he admitting McCarthy was right?
I would love to see George Clooney explain to people that yes, he should divvy up his Italian compound and all his bank accounts with all the actors who haven’t caught their break yet, maybe not as good looking, or as hard working, but equally deserving of pay, no??? Why the hell not, Clooney boy?? So what if they didn’t make Ocean’s 19? Why should they be deprived of their “rights” to your jack?
Me too! But of course he wouldn’t since he’s a hypocrite.
