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.

Interestingly, quite a few SNL alumni lean to the right, including Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Jon Lovitz, and Victoria Jackson. Could be a few more that are on the down low.

First Victoria Jackson. Then Dennis Miller. Jon Lovitz was pushed to the right when the left attacked him for some innocuous comments. Now Rob Schneider.

Mozilla and the Clippers are test cases. The first was for a man who donated to a cause, and did so following the letter of law. The second was for private comments made over a private means of communication.
The former lost his job, the latter will lose his business (which he has owned for a number of decades). Both happened over private thoughts and beliefs.
The next step is (as of right now) to go after places like Amazon to stop the publication and sale of non approved material, followed by the shutting down of websites by ISP’s for the same reason.
I suspect there will be mass arrests, banning of non goodthink churches, followed by a Great Terror.
We are well on the way to the end of the democracy. The Republic died during the Civil War, and the Democracy started to die during WWI and II.

Like I said “lean to the right”, which is probably about as good as we can hope from the Hollyweird.
