Impeach President Bush! The Out of Touch Hollywood Left Speaks

I wanted to further expand on what Eightball posted about what Linda Ronstadt said:




Linda Ronstadt laments
'new bunch of Hitlers'
Singer: 'People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves'

Singer Linda Ronstadt, who made headlines during this year's presidential campaign by expressing solidarity with filmmaker Michael Moore, is now comparing current U.S. political trends with events in Nazi Germany.


"People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves," Ronstadt told USA Today regarding the race for the White House.

On the issue of the ongoing battle in Iraq, Ronstadt added, "I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don't know anything about the Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers."


The comments are just the latest in a string of controversial remarks the singer made this year. In July, her dedication of a song to Moore during a concert in Las Vegas prompted her to be escorted off the Aladdin Casino and Resort property.

Looking back on the incident, she told the paper, "No one threw drinks or anything in the concert hall. I don't know what people did in the lobby, but if they behaved like naughty schoolboys, that's not my fault. I doubt it was the first time they had drunk people in Vegas, you know?"

She added she has no regrets about the incident.

"It made me look rather good, I think."

The 58-year-old also raised eyebrows in an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune with a verbal assault on Christians as well as members of the GOP.

"This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."

Despite her high-profile statements, Ronstadt admits the impact of her words is debatable.

"I have very little power," she told USA Today. "I've been blessed with an unusually long career, but the peak was in the '70s and '80s. I think you just have to carry on - and do what you can to get information out to people. Do what you can."

why does the left think that they will get us to listen to them, when they insult us, my telling us we aren't smart enough, or we are stupid?

Then again, maybe he meant, "eliminate', which means:

2- to pass (wastes) from the body

Isn't an Eshew some kind of nut? :tng:

I don't know about an Echew, but Al Franken is some kind of nut.

I think Linda Ronstadt will find most Republicans and "fundamental Christians" to be very considerate people, who would not think of causing her "conflict" by ever darkening the door of one of her concerts.

She's probably still having Vegas flashbacks

---- does that apply to Conservatives, too?

Let me reword this to make a point.....

"It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a homosexual or Jew. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know"

Sounds bigoted, doesn't it? She thinks she's not a bigot just because her comments were directed at Republicans and Evangelicals. But I have news for her, she's no better than an Archie Bunker.

Or maybe he meant to CHEW an ESCARGOT, those slimy little snails they serve at fancy schmancy restaurants.

Chew an escargot? That's like trying to chew on a .... oh never mind.... it's too gross!

ROFLMAO. Sorry bout the improper use of "eschew" there. I'll put my foot in my mouth and just exit this thread.

Interesting though how it became the main topic of this thread for almost a whole page though.

I'm sure I can speak for most of the folks here when I say it's all in good fun, alien. None of us can lay claim to perfection.

We're an incorrigible bunch, though.
