Director Spike Lee, along with his wife Tonya, were on the Today show this morning to promote their new children’s book. But, Spike coudln’t help himself. When he was asked about the Tucson shootings Spike told Meredith Viera (who is still pushing the line that Loughner snapped because of the tea party, etc.) that, “The United States is the most violent county in the history of civilization.
MEREDITH VIEIRA: I want to talk a little bit about what happened in Arizona last week-
SPIKE LEE: Right.
VIEIRA: -because there’s been so much discussion about discord in this country-
LEE: Right.
VIEIRA: -and the level of rhetoric. And not saying that it was responsible for what happened, but that it just adds to negativity, in general.
LEE: Here’s my, my take in it. I think that, as film makers, as politicians, as artists, we have to understand that all, whatever we do goes out in the universe. And you should be aware of what you’re doing. And you cannot just say “Well I just did this and, and my – had nothing to do with what happened.” That’s, that’s not, that’s not the case. Also the United States of America is the most violent country in the history of civilization. And this NRA thing. We gotta turn this around. You know these, these guns are out of hand. And I know they have a very powerful lobby but something has to be done about the gun control in this country. That’s my opinion.

Wrong Way Corrigan knew full well what he was doing. He flew to Ireland deliberately, in spite of having been denied permission to do so. He could just never publicly admit it ...

So, Spike, I guess we’re just lucky nobody took you up on your suggestion to shoot Charlton Heston “with a .44 Bulldog.”
DO NOT EVER FORGET the 5.5 million slavic men, women, and children that the National Socialists wiped off the face of the Earth.
“we have to understand that all, whatever we do goes out in the universe.”
*sound of ‘water pipe’ gurgling*
Whoa...that’s like, so heavy, dude.
*more gurgling sounds*
Why is that the left can get away with saying the cause of this was such and such, but you can't blame Hollywood for the slew of violence it spews out. You can't blame violent video games when teens go on a violent rampage, or gangsta rap music. But when it comes to this you can blame everyone with conservative ideals.
Too bad he can’t talk to a Carthaginian. Or anyone who crossed a Mongol Ordu.
Spike = fool.
There has been cultures that would have cut your living beating heart out of your chest with a crude stone knife, or lop off your head for a ballgame, or stick a wooden spike up your living butt and leave you stuck there for all to see. You would have faced deaths so horrible that you would prey for a sudden bomb to vaporize you. Idiot. I feel stupid even to reply to this crap!
Fine Spike. Move to Bosnia then.
Good riddance.
And we would agree that it is mostly black on black violence.
I am a die hard New York Knicks fan. It kills me though that every time I watch them I have to see that moron sitting courtside.
I doubt that, Spike. But 40 million of your “brothers” have sure made a gallant ATTEMPT!!!
“DO NOT EVER FORGET the 5.5 million slavic men, women, and children that the National Socialists wiped off the face of the Earth.”

Absolutely right.
Some aspects of emphasis in the historical record are skewed, are they not?
Our progressive elite peddles authoritarian solutions to problems they have largely created. Their solutions to their endless list of problems all lead us to a dictatorship administered by a nomenklatura consisting of themselves. As for the most recent violent event in Arizona, they are the ones who emptied the asylums decades ago and made it practically impossible for anyone to intervene prior to a psychotic explosion. Then again, perhaps chaos in all forms serves their purpose.
He likes to say stupid things so people will go see his lame movies.
” chaos in all forms serves their purpose”
it serves their ideological “father’s” purpose, indeed.
Whether they know who they’re working for or not, he appreciates it.
“The United States is the most violent county in the history of civilization.
But he choses to live among “the violence” because of his greedy @ss. This is where he makes his loot so he can be a “celeb” and go on communist TV shows and show his @ss. Ain’t freedom great, bro?
Hey, Spike, your ignorance is showing.
They of course are referring to black America, in which case he is still wrong.
Shelton is entitled to his opinion and I’m free to call him a d**khead.
