Bill O'Relly just made as powerful a statement as any to Krauthammer re: Trump inauguration

He told him that artists are not going to perform for Trump inauguration out of fear of not being able to find a job in the industry. Charles put up a slight argument against this opinion suggesting it is about political opinion and such before O'Reilly provided the zinger:

"You don't know Hollywood very well. People would perform for Joseph Stalin if they thought it would further their career".

Ouch.

Bill is hit and miss, but I simply appreciate his candor. I believe I could have a spirited debate with him and he wouldn't avoid the confrontation but would welcome it. I can respect anyone like that. He doesn't duck and hide. Hell even Trump says it "he's tough but he's fair".

That one liner though...it's disturbing, but I imagine it is frighteningly more accurate than one might think...
Funny....how Hollywood has whined for years about how they were blacklisted after WWII and now they're trying to blacklist anyone who dares to be nice to our new president.

I think Hollywood is in for a big surprise at the box-office this year if they keep this ridiculous nonsense up.

Oh my. A few RWNJs won't watch their movies. BFD
Even if they lost just 20% of their gross profits they would be ruined.They're already barely making it now as it is.
You see these Hollywood types are used to getting more than they're worth.
When nobody wants to see their movies anymore how are they going to get $20 million per picture?


Get back with me after that happens.
The music industry has gone to shit because songwriters can't earn the kind of cash they used to due to changes in technology. I figure it's only a matter of time before Hollywood goes the same way. All you need to do is give enough people a reason not to go to the movies and they'll stay home. They can still see the same movie at home on their own 65" TV without having to worry about some idiot with a gun walking in. Pretty soon movies won't make the kind of box-office cash they used to.

I'm not worried about some idiot with a gun. The most common complaint is paying $30+ for two tickets, another $30+ for sodas and popcorn then spend two hours listening to some asshole on his/her cellphone or a kid kicking your seat. Wait six months, buy the DVD for $20 and apply the savings to that big screen TV.
 
Actually the left holds a monopoly on perverse life-styles.
True, and a fascinating area of study for me.

There's an old saying (backed by science) about the fine line between genius and madness. Great "artists" are the equivalent of geniuses in their field, but most are huge flakes. Fun to watch on screen or listen to their music, but not as much fun to hang around. Playing dress-up or prancing around on stage requires a specific skill set most "normal" people do not possess. The genes that make entertainers "perverse" are also the same genes that contribute to their skills as an entertainer. Ergo, yes, Hollywood has a high degree of "perverse life-styles" because that's part of being an entertainment "genius".
 
Part of the draw of any actor is that the public likes who they are.
Once that is gone there's no reason to pay for their work.

They'd rather watch snails **** than pay to see some asshole they don't respect anymore.
True, but I think that mostly applies to their work as an actor, not their politics or off-screen activities. Sure, that off-screen stuff could affect their reputation for some, such as in the 60s if an actor was revealed to be gay, most people don't give a shit.

Example; I like Tom Cruise movies. Lots of fun and action, but I wouldn't want to pal around with him since he's a huuuge flake such as his involvement with Scientology. Nonetheless, I'll wait for the DVD to come out of any movie he makes and order it via Netflix. In short, I don't pay attention to some Hollywood actor's politics since I think of them as entertainers who, by definition, are nutjobs.

Sex and violence always sells. In hard times, so do comedies.

No. Bestiality is mostly a right wing type entertainment.

And insist that everyone become as deviant.....

“On Valentine's Day of last year, Dr. Vernon Quinsey, then of Queen's University, and Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem (pronounced HI-sheh-hem), who was retired from the University of Montreal, testified before the Canadian Parliament's "Committee on Justice and Human Rights." The topic of the day was mandatory minimum sentences for people convicted of sexual offenses against children.
‘t is a fact that real pedophiles account for only 20 percent of sexual abusers. If we know that pedophiles are not simply people who commit a small offence from time to time but rather are grappling with what is equivalent to a sexual orientation just like another individual may be grappling with heterosexuality or even homosexuality, and if we agree on the fact that true pedophiles have an exclusive preference for children, which is the same as having a sexual orientation, everyone knows that there is no such thing as real therapy. You cannot change this person's sexual orientation.’

[*]… "real pedophiles" is the definition most of the scientists I spoke to use and the definition we'll use throughout this article. That is, people—the overwhelming majority of whom are men—who have an unwavering sexual attraction to prepubescent children.
[*]Van Gjiseghem says what he and his colleagues mean by sexual orientation is a person's inborn and unalterable sexual preference, irrespective of whether that preference is harmful to others or not. Currently, there is no significant longitudinal evidence that pedophiles can be made to not be attracted to children, and thus it can be defined as their orientation.
And if pedophilia is a sexual orientation, that also means it's futile to send pedophiles to prison in an effort to alter their attractions.
[*]Dr. James Cantor is the Head of Research in the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Canada's largest mental health and teaching hospital…. his first indication that there was something different about pedophiles' brains… Other patterns soon emerged…. the last clue that made him almost certain pedophilia is a prenatal issue: non-right-handedness….. "It is quite possible that one or more components of the process are related to prenatal stresses like poor maternal nutrition, toxin exposure, ill health, or poor health care,"…
[*]…. Dawn Horwitz-Person, a psychotherapist in Chico, California, who specializes in treating sex offenders, believes we can help pedophiles…. "I try to get them to develop empathy and to get them to recognize the risk factors in their life," she says.
[*]The old adage is that the true mark of a society is how it treats the weakest in its ranks. Blacks, women, Latinos, gays and lesbians, and others are still in no way on wholly equal footing in America. But they're also not nearly as lowly and cursed as men attracted to children. One imagines that if Jesus ever came to Earth, he'd embrace the poor, the blind, the lepers, and, yes, the pedophiles. As a self-professed "progressive," ….”
Born This Way Sympathy and Science for Those Who Want to Have Sex with Children



Liberals will soon be shedding tears and casting votes in support for these poor miscreants.

Why.....it will be their new 'civil right.'
Strange how the left has this sick preoccupation with Trump and his daughter but don't even bat an eye when Obama is seen constantly holding hands with his oldest daughter.

Is it just another example of liberals constantly projecting their own sins onto those they hate?

True.
Playing roles takes a specific personality type. However, I feel that many in Hollywood act like perverts because they can get away with it. They live under a different set of rules than most of us.

Agreed in general, although I think we'd need to define "perverts" since one man's pervert is another man's fetish. It wasn't that long ago that a wife fellating her husband was illegal under sodomy laws. Is a man having two girls at once a perversion? Doggie-style? Obviously the sexual abuse of minors is a perversion, but that's illegal even in California (regardless of recent legislation).

Still, Hollywood types are different because it takes as different personality to prance on-stage and play dress-up as it does to be a CIA case officer or career soldier. Each have specific skill sets which make them good at their jobs.

I figure that many in Hollywood are Democrats because they lean toward homosexuality.....

When I was in H.S. the only guys that acted in plays sounded like sissy-boys.

Not all actors are gay, but a lot certainly seem to be more emotional than your average American male. I'd certainly agree there is a higher degree of homosexuality in the entertainment industry than in other fields just like among males working as house decorators, dancers or flight attendants. OTOH, it may be that homosexuals in those fields are more open about their sexuality and not in the closet like most NFL or NBA members. Nonetheless, despite all the hoopla, homosexuals constitute less than 2% of the population. The LGBT advertises a higher percentage, but they count as homosexual every two straight girls who kissed each other.

Do Closeted Gays and Lesbians Cluster in Certain Professions?

There may be some truth to the ‘gay jobs’ stereotype
1. Actors (S, T)

2. News analysts, reporters, and correspondents (S, T)

3. Artists and related workers (S, T)

4. Agents/managers of artists, performers, athletes (S, T)

5. Producers and directors (S, T)


What percentage of the U.S. population is gay, lesbian or bisexual?

Based on the 2013 NHIS data [collected in 2013 from 34,557 adults aged 18 and over], 96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual. The remaining 1.1% of adults identified as “something else[]" [0.2%,] stated “I don’t know the answer[]" [0.4%] or refused to provide an answer [0.6%].

More specifically, 1.8 percent of men self-identify as gay and 0.4 percent as bisexual, and 1.5 percent of women self-identify as lesbian and 0.9 percent as bisexual.

The results are generally in the same ballpark as past estimates — and far below the long-debunked 10 percent estimate. But past data that I’ve seen had suggested that there were about twice as many gay or bisexual men as lesbian or bisexual women; this data suggests that there is no such gender gap.

Add "most" and I'd agree with you since most performers are Left Wingers for the reasons discussed previously.

Are you stating that if any performer did work for Trump, there'd be no repercussions in Tinsel Town?
 
Significant derailment of thread has been cleared. If your post went bye-bye, it was part of the trainwreck. For those that seem confused, the topic is Hollywood and Trump and the Inaugeration. It's not bestiality, pedo, perverted sex and ideological sexual oddities.

Most performers are liberal
However, performers like Clint Eastwood and Arnold Scwarznegger don't seem to be punished much

I believe most are keeping away from Trump because they find him repulsive

Clint and Arnold are very powerful, so powerful they can do their own thing. Mel Gibson is a better example. OTOH, addressing the Hollywood elite, their 1%ers, isn't accurately portraying the situation. Not only are there lesser A-list, multiple B-list and a lot lesser entertainers but there's also all the workers that go into a live production. Are you saying none of them will be intimidated or punished if they helped with Trump? You already dodged that question once. Please answer it now.

If you are living on the fringes of Hollywood and fear your political views will hurt your career......keep your mouth shut

Just like if you work in an auto repair shop and support Hillary

Not fair, but that is the way life works

Thank you. Why it took so many posts for you to agree with my point is a bit bewildering, but at least you did.
