Gelbart, with his eyes squeezed shut and his fingers in his ears said, in between chanting "la-la-LA-LA-LA I can't hear you",
"When I watch movies I'm not looking for a political agenda, nor do I see one,"

Gelbart does acknowledge...No executive today is willing to greenlight a movie that portrays extreme Islamists as the enemy... But Gelbart believes that is a pragmatic decision having little to do with politics.

"You make a radical Muslim mad, and he won't rip off your bumper sticker, he'll rip off your bumper -- then your car will be found in another state, and he'll put a fatwa on you," he says. "I think fearing for your life is a pretty good reason not to do it."

And thus, you [Gelbart] spineless weasel, they win.

Gelbard admits he's a coward, then says he has a right to be.
But I have heard Hollywwod for the last 2 years decry that censorship is the fault of George Bush. Gelbard is clearly the censor here, he admits it.

Hollywood is trash for the most part.

But nobody listed "Team America/World Police" which was definately pro-American, anti-Terrorism.

No executive today is willing to greenlight a movie that portrays extreme Islamists as the enemy . . .

. . . Gelbart replies, when asked if liberals make things difficult for conservatives in Hollywood. "If you're not strong enough to support a Republican administration out loud, then you're a wimp."

Our "intrepid" Mr. Gelbart courageously cries "BS!" when conservatives complain of pressure - but then announces that when it comes to opposing someone who is actually dangerous, he is a conscientious objector - a devout coward. In that context, Mr. Gelbart, any negative insinuation against any religion that doesn't intimidate you is a half-truth. And a very big lie.

"List the artistic people on the left and those on the right, and compare their work: Those on the left are more creative."

Well, Mr. Gelbart, at least we know they aren't courageous. Maybe they are just more commercial. All it takes to be commercial is superficiality, negativity, and arrogance. Newspapers prove that every day.
