David Icke should sue. LOL

[ansel12]

Some on the right seem determined to make this guy someone.

I suppose he is so simple minded and aggressive in his statements, that he is easy to write articles about.

So there they are, creating him so that they don’t have to work at writing.

I see this as the death or at least incapacitation of the new estrategy/emedia for vote getting. the person running for office still has to rely on the people. if they aint buyin then you aint goin. twits and all.

[Cincinatus]

In 2010 every liberal was banging on about Cleggmania and saying Nick was the Obama of Britain. (Obama should have sued.) Then the election results came in and revealed that Clegg’s Lib Dems actually lost seats – 57, down from 61 in 2005

Actually, Clegg IS the "Obama of Britain" -- he's done for the Lib-Dems in Parliament what Obama has done for Democrats in Congress.

"I suppose he is so simple minded and aggressive in his statements, that he is easy to write articles about."

Brand does have a unique quality, at least in my view.

It's an attribute he shares with very few other people in the public view, one notable kindred fellow being The Usurper, current pretender to the American Throne.

He is (in my view) totally unwatchable.

This is not hyperbole. When either of these appear on my TV I either turn the channel, turn it off or (if there are others watching) leave the room.

There is something that they both exude that is so palpably smarmy and purely evil that I cannot even look.

I have literally seen men with their brains splattered on the ground. As horrible as those memories are, they are easier for me than the visage of either Brand or the pResident.

Russell Brand can sway my opinion for sure. I can pretty well guarantee that I'll be on the other side of whatever issue it is that he's pushing.

No. He once challenged MSM agitprop, but no one on the right can honestly defend Brand’s habitual Leftwing nonsense.

[ansel12]

This is the Spectator Magazine, and conservatives seem to love this guy.

I think that my point stands.

Russell Brand. Isn’t he the filthy looking fella who hasn’t had a shower since Thatcher was PM ?

[fieldmarshaldj]

What eyes. Reminds me of a cross between Charlie Manson and Saddam Hussein.

[BillyBoy]

>> Actually, Clegg IS the "Obama of Britain" -- he's done for the Lib-Dems in Parliament what Obama has done for Democrats in Congress. <<

I wish. It would be a dream come true to see the RAT party reduced to a paltry 8 seats in Congress.

[Liberty Valance]

lol

[fieldmarshaldj]

‘Cept the RINOs would easily fill in the gap.

[nickcarraway]

In 2015, no bill has passed Congress without 93% of Democrat votes. So Democrats in Congress are doing much better than Republicans.

[EEGator]

But then the Reptilians would get him...

[bray]

I think he’s the hippie looking guy who does all those stupid movies.

Pray America is waking

[miss marmelstein]

No one - not even a Brit - is going to listen to a “sleb” who hasn’t bathed in 6 months.

[miss marmelstein]

I agree with you about Brand and Obama. I'll add Clinton to the list of people I walk out of the room for if they show up on the screen. To see the grotesque Clinton, with Tiberus-like sores all over his face, his elongated red nose and his scrawny neck and gigantic man hands (straight out of Nathanial West!) is enough to make me sick - in the British use of the term.

[jocon307]

a “sleb”

Isn’t that the oddest word?

Do you think it is just short for “celebrity” or do you think there’s an allusion to “slob” in there too?

Or maybe I just think that because Brand is the sleb in question?
