Boom: Oscar Winner Gary Oldman Slams Pelosi and Political Correctness

One of my favorite Oscar-winning actors might have just destroyed his career in Hollywood.

Gary Oldman did what is verboten amidst the Hollywood lovelies; namely, crap on liberal politicians, condemn political correctness and laud libertarian and conservative thought.

In an interview with Playboy, Oldman wields a sledgehammer on the fetid idols that have kept most of the actors that work in Tinseltown at bay.

Check it out.

Regarding political correctness, Oldman said…

“I just think political correctness is crap. That’s what I think about it. I think it’s like, take a f***ing joke. Get over it. … I don’t know about Mel. He got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all f***ing hypocrites. That’s what I think about it.”

Regarding Nancy Pelosi, Oldman said…

“Well, if I called Nancy Pelosi a c**t—and I’ll go one better, a f***ing useless c**t—I can’t really say that. But Bill Maher and Jon Stewart can, and nobody’s going to stop them from working because of it.”

Regarding racism, Oldman said…

“It’s our culture now, absolutely. At the Oscars, if you didn’t vote for 12 Years a Slave, you were a racist. You have to be very careful about what you say. I do have particular views and opinions that most of this town doesn’t share, but it’s not like I’m a fascist or a racist. There’s nothing like that in my history.”

Regarding FOX News’ Charles Krauthammer, Oldman said…

“There are a number of people. A voice I particularly like is Charles Krauthammer. I think he’s incredibly smart. I think he’s fair, very savvy and politically insightful, so I enjoy watching him.”

Regarding a potential Hillary Clinton presidency, Oldman said …

“What can I say? I feel we need some real leadership, and it’s nowhere in sight. Look at what’s happening right now. John Kerry going off to China to talk about North Korea? What’s that going to do? The ludicrousness of it. What a waste of money. You’re going to go to the puppeteer and say, “Can you help me with the puppet?” As far as Hillary, I guess I feel like my character in The Contender, Shelly Runyon. He doesn’t want Joan Allen to become president; he just believes she isn’t the right person for the job. It’s nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman, but he uses a bit of dirt on her to bring her down.”

Oldman might have screwed the pooch as far as his Hollywood buddies go, but as far as God and country loving patriots that are pig sick of the triple standards of political correctness are concerned, I think we might’ve just found a new hero.

Rock-N-Roll, Gary. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

The comment that started this sub-thread: Like a good European, he also lauds the antisemtic ramblings of Mel Gibson. He even claims moral equivalence with the Jews as if we say f...ing Germans (read without the ellipses) or someping along that line. , with the implication that no Jew, anywhere at any time, has ever said anything negative about anyone else's race, religion, ethnicity, or goy-ishness.

And my response was that some Jews (not all Jews, or even most Jews, or even a major percentage) also engage in ethnic comments. Are you saying that no Jew anywhere has ever told a Polish joke? Has ever talked about "that shiksa" her nice Jewish son is dating? Etc, etc.

Blacks have a vicious knock out game where they are smashing white people (mostly Orthodox Jews in NYC) for the fun of it. As the Orthodox Jews the knock out types are slugging usually vote Republican, the behavior of those feral black youth is reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction when they terrorized blacks not to vote for Republicans.

I think the tendency of "knockout" perps is to pick easy victims. Orthodox Jews are not generally seen as being Kung-fu masters (or even adept at Krav maga). Perhaps that should change. I would think that NYC Orthodox Jews would benefit from going to Israel and spending a couple of years in the Israeli Army when they turn 18. Maybe ask some Israeli commandos to come over and conduct martial arts and weapons training classes for some young Orthodox boys and girls.

Having a TV segment on that would do more to reduce "knock out" attacks than any number of "interfaith" events.

incidentally, your example/anecdote, if true, is an extremely poor one. Blacks use the "n word" with great frequency. I warn blacks when they use the "n word" that they shouldn't say it because they give an excuse for the David Duke's; etc., to say such things.

Btw... yiddish is not derogatory whether calling a black man a scwvartzer or a white man a visser. If the first yiddish word is so derogatory, then so is the second; however, no one says that this is.

krav maga expert

I took the Russian defense called Sambo (not the cartoon). That was really neat. Maybe Krav Maga is even better. You know that Jennifer Lopez used krav maga in her politicaly correct, whit man bashing film, "Enough," don't you?

Krav Maga is just the name given to the Israeli military's hand-to-hand techniques. It is thus oriented towards winning real-world fights for survival rather than scoring points in a tournament (or at least the version taught in the IDF is). The US military has its own hand to hand system as well.
