The New York Times bestselling author of the explosive new book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama’s Biggest Backers, Jason Mattera, had his crew’s camera snatched and hurled by comedian Chris Rock when he asked the star why he has called the Tea Party racist (video below).
“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and writeHollywood Hypocrites.”
The confrontation, which took place around 2:00 a.m. on January 23, 2012, at Spike Lee’s Sundance Film Festival after party at Tao night club, ended with Chris Rock challenging the conservative author to a fight, says Mr. Mattera:
“Chris Rock shouted, ‘You want to throw down? Let’s throw down right now!’ Of course, he was standing safely behind two bodyguards when he said it.”
The clash was ignited when Jason Mattera inquired about disparaging comments Chris Rock made about the Tea Party in an Esquire article in 2011:
When I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racism's almost over. Because this is the last — this is the act up before the sleep. They're going crazy. They're insane. You want to get rid of them — and the next thing you know, they're fucking knocked out. And that's what's going on in the country right now.
Jason Mattera says his confrontation with Chris Rock is just the opening salvo in a series of forthcoming ambush celebrity interviews with some of the big name

I see that skinny little punk is a real tough guy when he's hiding behind his gang-banger thugs.
Wait a minute. The book is “Hollywood Hypocrites” and you wonder why Chris Rock responded in a way he did?
Stink-lip Chris Rock couldn’t beat an egg.
It’s OK, he supports DEMOCRATS, and there was a Meme to be pimped, so there is nothing here.
Move along, Sheeple.
Should tell him to dismiss his bodyguards and then take him up on it. Introduce his knee to Mr. Foot.

Conservative reporters dealing with lefties need to use a two-camera approach: one camera for the interview, and a second camera discretely hanging back a few yards to record attacks on the reporter or cameraman.
Just wait and see what happens when the Communist in Chief is defeated in November.
In the first place, Rock is semi-literate.
But Chris Rock is a celebrity and a liberal . . . why should he ever have to explain himself or be held accountable for anything?
Meanwhile, while the Hollywood coke snorting ass wipes attack the Tea Party, the Occupy Turds have committed how many rapes, murders, assaults?
Truth is to liberals what a klieg light is to cockroaches.
“Conservative reporters dealing with lefties need to use a two-camera approach”
Haha . . . it’s funny ‘cuz it’s true!

Wow, such an angry little skinny liberal. He should be thrilled and happy.... why is he (and most liberals) so miserable?
Who is Chris Rock? Honestly, The only place I hear about useless liberal entertainers is on FR.
In the day I would have relished a challenge like that from a militant scumbag like Chris, but these days my arthritic wrist would still be hurting long after he regained consciousness, and got his teeth fixed. Still, it might be worth it, but I would rather watch someone else give him a spanking.
Yes that is going to be bad. But on the other hand they will most like riot in the most democratic and liberal cities and the damage will mostly be confined to those areas. They deserve it because it is the welfare statists that have taught people for generations that they are entitled to other peoples lives, work and property simply because they “need” it. They made their beds and they can suffer the consequences. I don’t feel sorry for them one iota. Just don’t come to my neighborhood looking to get your mad out worthless pieces of garbage “gimmiepigs” (saw that on another thread and really like the term. Don’t remember who coined the phrase or I would attribute it).
Notice how they always refer to tea partiers as tea baggers ? wink, wink like aren’t you hip with the gay reference tea baggers ;-)...which by the way is in itself a derogatory attack on gays is it not? after all tea bagging is a mouthful?
