PHILADELPHIA (CBS) Chris Stigall spoke with comedian Rob Schneider on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT about the struggle comedians face in todays current political environment. Schneider struck on ominous tone when discussing the path he sees the country on.
Democracies dont end well. We are sliding very fast towards fascism. Its an ugly kind of thing. Theres this kind of mob mentality that we have to be careful of, he said.
He believes comedians are pressured toward one side of the political spectrum.
Theres a polarization thats happening I do think you look can look at government and go, Wow, it is out of control now, and if you do criticize or tend to be not directly along a liberal stand, you can get murdered, Schneider commented.
Schneider was very critical of the Presidents handling of the economy and he feels certain policies are impacting businesses.
Theres not one segment of business under the Obama administration that hasnt been hurt he attacks for-profit schools, which is totally an elitist thing from a guy that went to Harvard. I think for free, by the way, Schneider said.
He was also critical of the media for being overly influenced by the government and not standing up for the American people.
We dont really have freedom of the press. Its owned by about eight different companies, and it doesnt really express or help the average American, Schneider stated.
I don't know about that... The death of Andrew Breitbart was awfully sudden and surprising as his influence was growing.

we’ve seen those in power killing to stay in power
i was referring to something that would be more like the french revolution
>>So you approve of Tim McVeighs bombing of the federal building?
No. I’m just making the point that we are not mentally prepared to be the freedom fighters that we think we are. The fascist state will become a reality long before we fight to end it. Most of the tough guy talk on FR is just mental masturbation.
>>The economic definition of fascism is where the capital of production is owned by a select few, while government makes the business decisions. An easy hop, skip, & jump from “crony capitalism.”
Very true! Note that politicians and businesspeople of both parties created this precursor to fascism.
Sliding ?
We are up to our chins in stinking socialism and
all the GOPe can shout is, “Don’t make a Wavvvvveeeee!”.
Which drives me crazy, every time I see that republican POS NY rep, Peter King, mouthing off about terrorism, especially on Fox News!

Obama’s Red Guard
A nation of laws is moving to a court of social justice.
Damn little is right. We all know that the devil will have his day to dance in the sun. I don’t even know if we should do anything about it. Let them all go to hell if they want.
This is a signal book by Jonah Goldberg. Its a complete hitrical analysis which is absolutely ringing with truth.
Every high school in America should have it as required reading.
