Eric Idle: "I hate them intensely, I’ve always hated conservatives, I’m afraid to say I’m very prejudiced against them, they’re horrible people."

Monty Python's Eric Idle blasts anti-woke comedians, says he loathes conservatives: 'I hate them intensely'​

Tech journalist Kara Swisher interviewed legendary British comedian Eric Idle on Monday, where he spoke extensively about the state of comedy in his heyday and said he hated conservatives. Swisher asked, "How do you look at cancel culture today, because now everybody is watched under great scrutiny," asking if Idle had seen the recent Dave Chappelle's monologue on "Saturday Night Live."

Just another British celebrity reminding us Americans why it is that we kicked the British out of our country almost two and a half centuries ago, and showing us that our reasons for having done so remain just as valid to this day.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Sounds like he's still a flying circus.

Look what a douche Bill Murray and many other comedians and actors are in real life! Who gives a FUCK what they think??? Celebrities' opinions aren't very high on my list.

Eric Idle, my least favorite of the Python crew. Another reason to dislike the b*stard.

That's ok. John cleese is the superior Monty python anyway. And Terry Gilliam is an excellent director with a great sense of humor.

No one needs this guy.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I know how he feels. I feel the same way about democrats. They really have nothing to recommend their continued existence.

He can say that because it doesn't have consequences. If he says it about the wrong ideology, he may never work again.

Isn't it interesting that it's perfectly ok to 'hate' as long as it's directed towards the right group.

You beat me to it.

John Cleese is a pile of shit too.

Meh, they're British. They wanted to surrender to Hitler until Churchill kicked them in the ass.

British conservatives are not like American conservatives. They are actually considered 'liberal' in Britian because they favor free markets and deregulation. They are Unionist as well. Margaret Thatcher favored strong labour unions, regulation, high taxes and a welfare state. I have no idea what Idle has against them.

He is a funny comic. But he’s also a retard.

Well I love the man....so I don't care if he hates me.

Pandering to the woke cult leaders so they don't go back and cancel Monty Python stuff.

You just raised a thought, maybe this guy has done something offensive to the alt-left cult and he is trying to get ahead of it with some ass kissing. "Hey, I hate the same people you hate, when the news comes out that I called a guy who identifies as a woman, well, a guy, don't cancel me please".

You poor thing. You’re so persecuted.
