Tinseltown Is Turning On Bam: Hollywood Turns on Obama

Look out. Hollywood is having a Republican crisis.

Once America’s most dependable bastion of liberal blather, the land of make believe has gone rogue. Each week, the new movie season brings another defection to Camp Romney, a place where taxes are less punishing, foreign policy is reliably pro-Israel, and stupid movies like “Innocence of Muslims’’ are not blamed for costing American lives

It’s the terrorists, stupid.

The land that once loved Obama is not stupid when it comes to selling tickets. The unexpected hit of the summer was Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary, “2016: Obama’s America.’’ The stinging big-screen indictment of Obama’s socialist leanings and disloyalty to the state of Israel was — surprise! — produced by the Oscar winner behind “Schindler’s List,” “Rain Man” and “Jurassic Park,” Gerald Molen.

“All of my movies have been about telling the truth,” Molen, a rare Hollywood Republican — who knew? — told The Hollywood Reporter.

Even hard-left filmmaker Michael Moore has grown weary of a commander-in-chief who doesn’t appear up to the job. After Obama’s disastrous performance in the debate against Mitt Romney, Moore tweeted, “If Romney keeps this up . . . Obama is going to vote for him!”

Four years ago, I doubt that the anti-union movie “Won’t Back Down’’ would have been green-lighted, let alone attract an A-list cast including Oscar nominees Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis. The poorly reviewed film (by lefty journalists) broadcast the message that Americans are fed up with liberal teachers unions that care nothing about kids while protecting rotten teachers and obstructing efforts at school reform.

Even loopy actress Lindsay Lohan, who once called Obama’s elevation to president “amazing,” said she’s endorsing Romney this time, although I suspect La Linz’s loyalty is not a great score for Mitt.

0bama’s policies have impacted Hollywood’s bottom line. Discretionary spending has lessened. Now if only the news media would realize their horrible ratings are also a result of their pro-0bama bias, we’d have a new hope for America. Perhaps that’s started but we shall see..

Hollywood is going to have to ask themselves what your typical EBT card user is going to purchase with their last $10. A bottle of hooch to give them comfort or a movie ticket to give them entertainment?

Maybe they already have.

Obama’s going down with or without Hollywood’s support.

One thing that gets their panties in multiple wads is anything that smells or feels like censorship.

That’s why they’ve had it in for the Catholic Church and the Christian Right since 1930, when the Breen Commission imposed a code of standards on what they could do onscreen. It’s stuck in their craw like a fistful of nails and they’ve never gotten over it.

They may not come right out and say so, but the moves Obama made against the producer of Innocence of Muslims chills them to the bone.

Hollywood is filled with sick people.Homosexuals and Pedophiles are the stuff of legend there. Nepotism rules, and the casting couch remains in spite of denials. Dopers, sluts, the dregs of America, Socialists and Communists.You don’t have to be smart to read other people’s words.

They have liberal writers and these idiots read those lines, an before you know it, they actually believe them.How else could a society of people go all ga-ga over Whoopi Goldberg, an idiot who had 7 abortions she admits to.Is about as smart as a Dachshund and ugly as a bag of a-holes. It’s surprising to find that she actually had sex 7 times at least, and proves that they all get prettier at closing time.To me she is the epitome , the poster girl for an idiot that got rich in Hollywood.There are others of course, Melanie Griffith for instance,and Roseanne, and Rosie’O’Donut,Baba Wawa who screwed her way to the top, Jane Fonde who is an oputright traitor who belongs in jail,yet is still making movies.Many others who now think they should pass their wisdom on to us , their customers, because we don’t have anyone writing our lines and doing our thinking.

An acquaintance of mine turned down a VERY high paying job there when he realized what a high percentage of his future co-workers were pedophiles.

This might even be true. Just the other day I read that the Vatican is turning on Jesus. The respective relationships are about the same.

Even if you are a taker you’d realize that even takers are better off with more people pulling the wagon than riding the wagon.

Thank you Mr. Clint Eastwood for being among the first, if not the first, for starting the trend for Barack Hussein Obama to lose ‘wood.

Hadn’t thought of that but it makes perfect sense.

Filmmaking is mostly a blue collar industry.
