This is absolutely right on the money!

Most entertainers think because they are in the limelight, this should give them the right to do or say anything they want. WRONG!

Politics are dirty business.  America is split 50-50.  Most entertainers think that for their fans, the sun rises and sets on them, and that they will be able to influence their fans to their way of thinking.

WRONG!

In order to satisfy their total fan base, they need to stay out of politics.  They voice an opinion (in a public forum) about their choice for President, and 50% of their fan base is voting the other way, this could leave the entertainer 50% short on their fan base.

I have turned against many entertainers this time around just because of their stance on politics.  I have a very bad taste in my mouth for them, when I used to have love.

If an entertainer wants to get into politics, they need to get out of the entertainment business.

Simple as that.

The liberals were pretty much silent on incidents like this one:

"CLINTON HAS WOMAN ARRESTED FOR INSULTING HIM!"

"Mrs. Mendoza was upset over last month's bombing deaths of 19 U.S. airmen in Saudi Arabia. The president grasped her hand and she protested with words of protest:

"You suck, and those boys died!"

"Ralph Grayson, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Chicago office, said his agency has an "ongoing investigation" into the matter.The Secret Service said Mrs. Mendoza made a "threatening statement" to the president."

(BTW - congrats on working for a President, it would be quite an honor!)

Look Ol' man Tucker - the same thing is done to FreePers and Protest Warriors at things like liberal book signings. They are forced into areas away from the event. Some of the conservative protesters have had their signs torn up and some have had acts of violence committed against them. But once again, and pay attention here, Whoopie was able to express her views at a fundraiser with no censorship, and without anyone putting her into a free speech zone. You are trying to make the ignorant point that the reaction to Goldberg's drunken rant against the President is the same thing as putting people into a free speech zone. It isn't the same. Now go back to sleep.
