Jim Carrey: Democrats Should 'Say Yes to Socialism,' 'Stop Apologizing'
MRC News Busters ^ | September 8, 2018 2:47 PM EDT | Brad Wilmouth

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 --

If they were honest he would say yes to Communism.

I agree with Carrey about one thing, it’d be nice if the rats stopped lying to Americans about their love of socialism. Please let him speak....

Let’s see how great Canada is after we end NAFTA, take 25% of their auto industry, and stop subsidizing their dairy and banking industries.

What no Joe Stalin? What about Mussolini - he made the trains run on time (or else). All those guys are dead, but then there is the OTHER socialist: Alois Schicklgruber (shudder)

In rebuttal, how about offering Jim Carrey a week long holiday in Venezuela? Make it a public offering, and if he accepts, and is delivered to that country, via ground because I doubt they have any safe air travel, even giving him a working vehicle with a full tank of gas, on condition that he does not leave that country for a week, and returns to that border crossing in one week to be transported home.

Since neither room nor board can be arranged for him, he will be on his own to get it.

Of course, if he refuses, then he can be called a hypocrite who knows nothing about socialism, and refuses to learn, so has no right to lecture anyone else about it.

That silly Jimmy, he lives in W. LA so it's unlikely he has ever needed urgent medical care in Canada for decades......

Typical socialist propaganda from elitists who have really never had to rely on Canadian or socialist medical care........

All these lunatics keep forgetting that as citizens of the US they are advocating the betrayal of their country (or ‘adopted country’).

So in comes the shinny new wondrous socialist regime ... who ‘goes’ first? Those that cannot be trusted; those that were willing to betray their country and could easily do it again. Bye Jim C, B.Maher, A.O.C., et al

Ok, Jim. I’d guess that your net worth is ~$149 million more than he “average” citizen. So, you’re going to ha d that over to the government for redistribution, right? After all, wouldn’t that be “fair”?

More proof that you don’t have to be smart to be rich.

And Carrey should go back to Canada and live in the crap ass utopia he escaped from. He hates Trump and is a box office failure. Go back home and work in their film industry...what little there is without Hollywood looking for cheap labor.

So how long did Jim Carey actually live in Canada? And why do Canadians come to America when they have serious health problems?

Hey Jim! Will you say yes to being paid the same as the cameraman on your next movie?

“We have to say yes to socialism — to the word and everything. We have to stop apologizing.”

Nationalist-Socialism or Communist Socialism?

Inquiring minds want to know!

As Carrey gets older let’s see where he goes for medical care. I’ll wager it won’t be Canada.

Just another leftist hypocrite.
