Senator McCarthy was right about Hollywood in the 50’s.

Hollywood actors are a bunch of communist supporting elitist who are too naive to understand that they are playing the role of ‘useful idiot’ in the Marxist movie of the week.

They like fantasizing about slavery, because they imagine themselves holding the whip.

Hollywood idiots do not have healthy respect for the political process. They want favored liberal causes such as homosexual marriage and cap and trade imposed by judicial fiat, and even by foreign courts, upon us.

People who memorize and parrot back words written by others for a living, do not have a rational thought process of their own.

Then we find out that Hollywood idiots such as Sarah Silverman, who completely lambasted the institution of marriage in one of her screeds, due to homosexual marriage not yet available nationwide, has had emotional problems and has been on medication for same.

And we’re supposed to listen to Hollywood idiots who don’t have all their faculties up there????

Lessee, you have a bunch of VERY rich folks who make their living saying words that someone else has written for them and following actions they are told to follow by a "director" and you have to ASK!!???

Until these folks figure out WHY they are very wealthy and living privileged lifestyles being human puppets, they will NEVER understand the free marketplace. I'm doing MY part by not going to any of their concerts or movies or other junk.

Indeed, Stone’s comments sound more like something from the pages of The Protocols of the Enders of Zion, a long debunked anti-Semitic forgery,

Protocols of the Enders of Zion? Is that Orson Scott Card's latest book?

Seriously, I think many from Hollywood would love to film "Triumph of the O" like so many modern day Leni Riefenstahls.

To bring down western civilization

Ollie's a long way from A-list these days but the point is perfectly sound. We've all become so accustomed to "but Mussolini made the trains run on time" as ironic mockery that we forget the very large number of people for whom it seemed to be a perfectly valid defense.

Actors sympathetic to the Reich were full-fledged members of the ruling class, much more so than in Soviet Russia. The Nazis loved the show, the panoply, the grandiosity. Snappy uniforms, rousing songs, blood-curdling speeches, torchlight parades, and an absolution from moral or legal sanction for violence against the opposition. And oh, my, how they loved their celebrity!

It's good to be on the winning side in a comic-opera kingdom, great to be an actor when it's all a grand play with no real-world consequences. Clark Gable, Hedy Lamarr, and Jimmy Stewart could only shake their heads in disbelief.

Why did wiki whitewash his sexuality?

He was long-rumored to have had a homosexual relationship with a poet/writer of that era.

Will Geer.
Wiki used to make a specific reference to the relationship, but the name of his butt-buddy escapes me. I wonder why the removed it?

They are desensitizing us.

Hollywood is in on the propoganda. Has been for for decades.

They know our society is rife with stupid and follows celebrities and the entertainment industry more than they follow current events.

All wiki leaves is this:
“In his autobiography, fellow organizer and gay rights pioneer Harry Hay described Geer’s activism and outlined their relationship while organizing for the strike.”

IMDB shows that he was a boyfriend of Harry Hay, so this must be the guy.
