Avengers Fans Marvel at Director's Hate
The Family Research Council ^ | April 6, 2018 | Tony Perkins and FRC Senior Writers

Posted on 04/06/2018 7:03:20 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

If you're looking for the bad guy in the Avengers movie, check behind the camera. Director Joss Whedon may not be part of the cast, but based on his Twitter account, he's a pretty convincing villain in real life. This week, after a year and a half of vile anti-Trump rants, the Hollywood liberal finally took it too far. "Die, Don," he tweeted.

Even for Whedon, who's used to creating drama, it was a sinister turn. The man who shocked everyone last year by posting that he's "grateful" his mom has "the gift" of death so that she doesn't have to see what a "tub of [profanity] our country's become" seemed even more unhinged than ever. "Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches. He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia. My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die."

And Hollywood says we're the haters? A major motion picture director is openly calling for the death of the president. Imagine, PJ Media's Jim Treacher wondered, if someone famous had said that to Obama. "Not just some Flyover Country bumpkin blogger like me, but a guy who directs blockbuster movies. He'd be run out of Hollywood on a rail. He'd never work again. His career would be deader than Kevin Spacey's." Instead, the mainstream media yawns and goes back to calling out conservative "intolerance," as if believing in marriage is the same thing as wanting the leader of the free world dead.

Whedon, for his part, has no shame. The self-proclaimed "feminist" publicly called Ivanka Trump a dog -- and industry peers said nothing. He told followers he wanted to see a rhino sexually assault House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to death. Crickets. Only when he unleashed on a group of childhood cancer survivors, insisting they must be in D.C. for the "White House wife hunt" except they were "not a 10," did he take any heat. Finally, liberals objected. He offered a faint apology, but the damage had already been done.

For Hollywood, the hypocrisy is no act. This is an industry that wants to be considered a serious political actor, while everything they do reeks of smug insincerity. They fly thousands of miles on private jets and then complain about the fuel creating global warming. They protest the Second Amendment, only to load their films with out-of-control gun violence. They talk about black lives mattering or women mattering, only to show up at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser and encourage the extinction of both.

And while not everyone is as spiteful as Whedon, most of Hollywood lost touch with American values a long time ago. They don't understand, Salena Zito wrote after Meryl Streep's Middle-America shaming at the Oscars, that the majority of us "simply don't want or desire the same things that these people hold up as valuable; they don't need a mansion, they don't rack up frequent-flyer miles... They don't want to leave their hometowns to come to Silicon Valley or Washington, D.C. or Manhattan. They want different things -- a place to live, a decent job, education for their kids... That's not hate, that's not stupidity, that's not racism -- it's their own version of the American dream."

Ironically, it's that version of the American dream that helped elect the man Whedon wishes dead. Arrogant elites take that personally, Zito says. She's right. In the end, what Hollywood really despises isn't Trump. He's just the infuriating reminder of what they do hate: our nation doesn't share their radical views.

Some of these Leftists are so ignorant, it’s hard to believe they can actually be functional in life.

I want to know why terroristic murder threats made against the President are going ignored by law enforcement.

This guy is beyond reprehensible. I sure hope he stays out of the part of Virginia where I live...

Dude has lost his damn mind. I really enjoyed Firefly, but will not support any future projects of his.

Well, that’s too bad.

I wanted to see this film.

He’s a POS. Really. Met and spoke with him more than a few times at a certain studio. I thought if there are no laws, I would have strangled this sack of garbage right on the spot.

I was a big fan of Firefly. It was actually touted as a series with a Libertarian bent. Erroneously, it now appears.

Imagine my shocked face when these miserable excuses for human beings wind up with their heads on pikes.

These Hollywood people are idiots. If Hillary would have won, Trump supporters would have completely stopped going to the movies, period. Would probably have cancelled Netflix, Hulu, and even Amazon Prime as well. Then the entire entertainment industry would have been driven into the ground since Trump supporters would be more concerned about saving their @sses from the globalist brownshirts.

If Hillary would have won, these same people would be calling us “traitors” for not supporting “our” President.

Never forget, when dealing with the Left’s movers and shakers you’re dealing with the emotional stability and ethical matrix of a t’ween girl.

I think Adam Baldwin decided to ignore Joss Whedon tweets. Not sure why.

You should cancel all those media services anyway. All those people have done is use a relatively rare technology to spit out their vile worldview...stop sipping their kool-aid. You will be smarter...free of garbage on your mind...and more interactive with people. Try not watching pay media for 1 month...i predict you will be amazed at how unencumbered you feel.

OK...ranting off

I would, but then I’d have to have a different mindset than you do, to do it. Ain’t gonna happen.
