Is the sky blue? If yes...then of course.

What I like is this means the professional frauds are going to pony up tons of money for the more or less amateur one.

I wonder if ‘Mooch will tag along to do some shopping on Rodeo Drive.

Hollywood has always pimped communism. It’s the wealth guilt by the rich, Hollywood elite. McCarthy was on to something.

We know who “the 1%” are and who they support. If the Occupy drones did any rational thinking they would recognize that their reasonable objections are to crony capitalism, which is a strategy of the far left, not of conservatives.

I wonder how all the conservatives who paid money to see “The Ides of March” and told us George cLooney isn’t so bad, his movies have a “good message”, and they can separate his politics from his work feel now?

Proving McCarthy right.
Anyway why should H’weid worry about communism - it doesn’t affect the elites.They will have their posh lives and we will eat cake.

I don’t go to movies much and I won’t watch much TV involving leftists/communists. I know it doesn’t matter to or affect them but it makes me feel better. Anyway, most movies suck these days anyway.

A lot of the Obama articles and online youtube ads are either restricted comments to moderated ones or not allowing any. I think the online (reading) public is very ticked at “the One”.

The Occutards know exactly who the 1% are and they are not interested in that. They are the very people who elected Obama to create this mess. They are now his army of brown shirts. His agitators and his stooges. They do his bidding.

Clooney is hiding his sexuality and is afraid it will become “public”. He is not the brightest bulb on the tree so this should not come as anything other than “another clueless actor pushes the Alinsky agenda”. Even Ted Turner has endorsed Romney so how bad is Obama appearing to these die-hard commies.
