I suppose there’s always been a bit of leftward slant in Hollywood. I’ve read some stories about how many of the old-time movie stars that I enjoyed watching at one time or another flirted with communism, either by attending certain gatherings or by actual affiliation with the party. But back then it seemed that they were outnumbered by those who came across as possessing a love of country, with some going as far as to play an active role in WW II.
But it was somewhere along the way that the patriots came to be outnumbered by the communists. Well, maybe communist is a bit extreme, but to say the least, those who love their country, at least as it was initially intended, have most certainly come to be outnumbered by those who definitely do not. I have never really understood why these folks who have been so blessed can bring themselves to spew such vile language whenever talking about America.
Now one of those loudmouths is the very same individual who Archie Bunker, from the old ‘All In The Family’ TV show, once routinely referred to as ‘Meathead’. And in looking back Archie could not have been more right in the way he chose to describe the moron who would one day come to prove himself to be much more than simply a ‘Meathead’. This goof should be considered as being the poster child for Hollywood kooks.
Because it was that this supposed big-time Hollywood director, and well known leftwing kook, Rob Reiner, who in spewing his typical leftwing drivel, told talk-show host Larry ‘The Fossil’ King that the Tea Party is like the terrorist group Hamas. Because, according to ‘Meathad’, apparently both groups are extreme and cannot be negotiated with, and the only solution is to make them go away or "eliminate" them. Really??
According to this fat slob of a Hollywood imbecile, "[Y]ou can’t negotiate with that, you have to say either Hamas goes away and the Palestinian authority takes over all that region and deal with some kind of honest broker here, and create the two-state solution." You know, these Hollywood types never cease to amaze me. Most have an IQ somewhere in the single digits and yet they perceive themselves as being someone worthy of being listened to.
And in his own demented little way, he attempted to draw some sort of a parallel with the Tea Party. He said, "anytime you’re dealing with an extreme group, you cannot negotiate with them, and the way to do it is to eliminate it. With the Tea Party, you have to go through political thing, you have to wait till 2020 to redistrict, but that is really tough stuff." Personally speaking, to me it’s the clones like ‘Meathead’ and his many Hollywood friends who are the extreme ones.
Anyway, it was on the August 14 edition of Politicking with Larry King, the host asked ‘Meathead’, "What’s to do about the Gaza situation, and Israel?" To which ‘Meathead’ responded by saying, "Well, there again, you’ve got a horrible situation where you have an extreme faction, the Hamas, that controls Gaza, that is written into their playbook, the destruction of Israel, the destruction of every Jew on the planet."
‘Meathead’ went on to say, "The Palestinians turned down the ability to have their own state in 1948 when Israel was formed, so clearly, Hamas, and again, the virulent faction of a, really, uh, group can control everything." And it was up to this point that I was kind of in agreement with some of what he was saying. But then, and in typical liberal kook fashion, things then veered off to the left and once again he began making no sense whatsoever.
Because ‘Meathead’ continued, "You look at the Congress right now in the United States, you’ve got a strong Tea Party group controlling the whole country, because they have a gridlock, they have a gridlock, stranglehold on Boehner. Boehner can’t make a move, and so for that reason, nothing gets brought up in the Congress." I’m thinking old ‘Meathead’ spends way too much time being tuned in to MSNBC or between the pages of The New York Times.
‘Meathead’ continued his rant saying, "So anytime you’re dealing with an extreme group, you cannot negotiate with them, and they way to do it is to eliminate it." To which he added, "With the Tea Party, you have to go through a political thing, you have to wait till 2020 to redistrict, but, uh, that is really tough stuff." I’m reminded of that quote of Mark Twain’s, "It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
The U.S. State Department designated Hamas a terrorist organization in 1997. The Tea Party stands for Taxed Enough Already and the movement sprang up from the American grassroots in 2010 largely in opposition to Obamacare, and has broadened since then to include issues such limited government, fewer government regulations, and adherence to the Constitution. So ‘Meathead’s’ idiotic comments say much more about him than about the Tea Party.
Let’s face it, this guy is far from being anyone who can be said to be a master of his craft. The last time old ‘Meathead’ was even nominated for an Academy Award was 22 years ago when he was nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award for the 1992 film, A Few Good Men. Which to my way of thinking makes him little more than some one hit wonder. And yet he feels that he is apparently someone worth listening to when in reality he’s anything but.
