Chris Rock Attacks Reporter

[Procrustes Stretched]

Confrontational?

scurrying up back stairs in a rush to get to Rock? then saying he's a big fan , and also a hoodie from brooklyn? then asking to face camera for a better picture - then saying why he is really there?

fucking juvie

Ever been to Sundance? There are multiple events happening simultaneously, often in different buildings. Going from one to the other often involves cars, buses, extended walking, and even stairs. It also happens to be true that he is from Brooklyn. I don't know if he is a Chris Rock fan or not, but asking a guy why he thinks a group is a bunch of insane racists in a calm voice is confrontational.

please, Jason was being duplicitous.

jesus christ man, stop making it seem like 60 minutes caught the liberal king of politics in a sting op. It's a blowhard with a camera and an audience of wingnuts

The Conservative reporter approached Rock, pretending to be a big admirer, then became confrontational.

Confrontational?

Yea, the reporter misrepresented himself.... while I understand the reporter's desire to discuss the topic.... it's not ethical or reasonable journalism to sideswipe someone like that. The shame of it is that we are losing any journalist standards with this kind of behavior.

The guy is a jerk, but he makes money off of being a jerk. Doesn't make the question itself confrontational, nor does if give Rock the tight to throw a camera held by somebody else.

Are you saying 60 Minutes never ambushed anyone, or used a hidden camera? Regardless, does anything that happened make it right that Chris Rock attacked another person?

The Conservative reporter approached Rock, pretending to be a big admirer, then became confrontational.

so it naturally follows that you attack the camera lady and throw her camera....great! the obama civility strikes again...



oh and for the record, I agree, he did ambush rock, and that's BS, but there are better ways to handle it...

What has Obama got to do with this? That's crazy talk right there.

 

[Sallow]

Those are DIFFERENT. Only the left can get violent when asked a question about their behavior. Just like Rush gets hammered for calling an activist a slut but Ed Shultz gets ignored for calling a cancer survivor a slut several times.

Eyeah.

Shultz apologized and was off the air for a day. And it wasn't "several" times..it was once.

Rush..got hammered because he went on a three day tirade against a private citizen. He didn't only call her a slut..he suggested Fluke be forced to make porno films for his enjoyment.

And he never really apologized. So..the Free Market is working it out.

What's wrong with that?

The New York Times bestselling author of the explosive new book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama’s Biggest Backers, Jason Mattera, had his crew’s camera snatched and hurled by comedian Chris Rock when he asked the star why he has called the Tea Party racist (video below).

“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and writeHollywood Hypocrites.”

That's the last time I will ever see that woman beating coward ever again.

He's scum and should be in chains.



You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

Need some help here good people.

That's ok. We blacks will still support Chris Rock.

Perhaps not all see race as the determination of rectitude...

Libs just don't have a code of conduct so there is no depth that one can sink too and it not be defending by the most vile.


damn, the more I'm exposed to you people, the more shocked I am to learn that you can tolerate each other long enough to breed.

“The youthful radicals propelled a new set of values from the fringes to the midst of contemporary social conflict.” Rothman and Lichter, “Roots of Radicalism: Jews, Christians, and the New Left,” p. 392-394

Thus the themes and traits of the New Left have become prominent in today’s culture, and everything has become, ultimately, political. The result of the politicization of the culture is that one’s opponents are not merely wrong, but are morally evil, and, therefore, one may wish every affliction to befall them.

a. Campus rioters did not merely criticize universities as being in need of reform, but, rather, as institutions rotten with immorality from top to bottom.

b. Critics of the Obama Healthcare plan were not just mistaken, but were tools of greedy pharmaceutical and insurance companies, or doctors out to protect their illicit profits.

c. A constituent of the difficulty in dealing with the radicals, and the New Left value system, was the habitual lying. This antinomianism has resulted in the acceptance of lying by both omission and by commission, as it depends upon what the meaning of ‘is’ is.

d. So student radicals, imbued with the political grace of the Left, were also freed of the restraints of morality, specifically honesty: one could lie in a noble cause.

e. We can see the same religious absolution in Sorel’s belief that it was not wrong to break heads as well as laws.

f. Modern liberals no longer have to break heads, as they control many of the institutions they once attacked, but lie they must, and do, as they could not get elected advertising their actual agenda.

And they throw cameras?

 

[PoliticalChic]

1. If Chris Rock is going to get involved with politics then he's gotta be ready to get some questions about it.

2. Granted, the guy ambushed him, I'da been pissed too. But it kinda comes with the territory, no? Like I said, especially if you're going to open your yap and spout political opinions. Don't care which side you're on, keep your piehole shut or deal with the unintended consequences.

3. So, we got two assholes here. I'd say the relevance is zero, time's up as to how long this story should continue.

'Ambush' seems only to apply when the subject in question is of the Left...is this true?

Don't celebs live for publicity, as in....

There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary.

I didn't see Bill Maher's film "Religulous" (2008), but didn't he do the same thing to religious folks?

"Bill Maher interviews some of religion's oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye."
Religulous (2008) - IMDb



I must have missed the mandatory camera-toss.

The guy was being a jerk. That said..Rock should have just walked away..and been done with it.

You need to watch the video. The guy was not at all a jerk to Rock. He was calm, polite, complimentary, and asked a question in a non-accusatory manner.

Or, is there now a NewSpeak definition of "jerk"?

Be honest.
Rush..got hammered because he's a Republican...


Turns out the "lady" in question was, is, everything he said she was, plus, it turns out that the whole incident was orchestrated by the Left.

none were right-wingers.

Here, let me help...I speak "Liberal"

jerk/jərk/
Adjective:
Lacking intelligence or common sense. Only applies to Republicans/conservatives/rightwingers (other than USMB)
Noun:
A stupid person (often used as a term of address): "you're an ambusher!".
When applied, can mean 'never approach a Liberal unless summoned.'

My point was more like the whole concept of liberal and conservative are basically worthless ideas that invite one to stop critical thinking.

But as to the belief of some self proclaiming conservatives that the self proclaiming liberals are peaceful or easy marks?

That's just the wishful thinking of people for whom the halo effect has blinded them to reality.

When/if the shyte hits the fan, the next civil war isn't going to be a cakewalk for either "team".

1. "... the whole concept of liberal and conservative are basically worthless ideas..."
Your post is the CliffNotes version of the joke about a man who, upon being caught by his wife in bed with another woman denies guilt by asking “Do you believe me or your lyin’ eyes?”

The difference between liberal and conservative is everywhere around you.

Deny at your peril.

2. "When/if the shyte hits the fan, the next civil war..."
Bite your tongue.

There will not be a civil war, other than one of words.

But...there is every possibility of civil disruptions, a-la the OWS thugs, when this empty suit is tossed out in November.


3. OK...now you have your homework: deny and bite.

His reaction was undeniably over the top.... and he has made outrageous and stupid statements about the Tea Party.... But.... I dislike 'gotcha' journalism. I don't see that either side was 'right' on this episode. Doorstop journalism is cheap, and designed to provoke a reaction that they can create 'drama' out of.
