Locked. No further comments permitted.Double Standard - Hypocrisy

Well, I have been patiently waiting for a blog here to talk about Peter Fonda and people being outraged at his tweet (or did I miss it somehow?).

And I am also patiently waiting for Sony Pictures to cancel the release of the movie he appears in....as quickly as ABC cancelled Roseanne in just a few hours after her tweet.

Oh that's right, Fonda's was against Donald Trump and his family...so that is OK.

So no blogs and Sony condemned Fonda but they don't want to hurt the movie maker who made the movie and Fonda only has a small part in the movie.....blah, blah, blah....

Hypocrisy at its best.....

Yes hypocrisy indeed. But to be fair it runs both ways.

Studios stop projects because of accusations of unwanted advances or touching. Roman Polanski pled guilty to a crime ran away and won an Oscar. Not sure there isany consistency.

I just saw what he said and I disagree that Sec. Nielsen should be caged naked & raped in public while being filmed. Nobody wants to see that. She's gross.

One, that just happened today. I hadn’t heard prior to this and was repulsed by it. Family members should never be political targets unless they’re politicians themselves like Ivanka or Jared. So not a of folks even know about it. The lack of MSM coverage is horrible. And two, because of the sensitive subject matter, it might be people did post about it but didn’t know how to do it properly so it would remain.

More and more it seems like everyone from the Prez to media to bloggers are in collusion to keep people outraged and clicking and reading or donating or whatever... I even see clickbait links that are like "This will make you outraged" or "you''ll never believe what he said..." Why do we click on those? (I don't anymore, just got tired of the drama and bored with being misled).

So people are actors, racists, morons, say crazy shit, regret it--nothing new.

Is everybody supposed to be pure and perfect and without sin, and even scarier--supposed to conform to the prevailing political wind or this week's cultural norm? If my handyman or plumber or attorney says something I disagree with, do I fire him/her? Report to the thought police?

FWIW I can't tell who is scarier (or is it funnier)--the nuts on the right or the nuts on the left.
They both seem to be trying to set up a world where you have to agree with their ideas or they can make your life hellish.

In Fonda's defense, he did come out and apologize. But so did Barr. She got canned, his movie will be released and he will make money....

Colossus, you are incorrect on the timing of his tweet. It occurred 1:48 AM on June 20th. So it happened 36 hours ago...

Stuff against Trump happens immediately when MSNBC or CNN or whoever puts something up. Of course, CNN posted the apology and that the Secret Service was looking into a threat....but not the original post????

But not the public outcry we saw with Roseanne....double standard.....

No, life is NOT fair....we come into this life naked and go out in a box and there is a whole lot of bullshit in between.

But we constantly hear the Hollywood types telling us how we should live our lives, that we should believe that their opinion is so important and they know so much more than us. However, they are some of the most hypocritical people in the world.

They are against building a wall at our border for security and safety, but how many of them live behind a wall.....with security cameras, security guards, security alarms systems....

They are so concerned about the environment and global warming, but travel by themselves in private jets and gas guzzling limos.

And you obviously did NOT actually READ the full text of both of his tweet...or you might not be dismissing this...but that's right, your agenda is set and you don't want anything to derail it...

Who cares about what happens to entertainers (unless they happen to also be elected officials)?

Al Franken resigned because he was embarrassed about groping some bitches.
Trump was elected despite bragging about it.

Engine man
It was a bit more than an insult. I don’t particularly like Trump but you are okay with what Sleazy Rider tweeted? I don’t get all excited about political BS. Just remember that we are ALL Americans and we are ALL individuals. It is not black and white as the Press and politicians would fool the people that can’t read between the lies

Hollywood helped make America great--along with probably Rock and Roll and Detroit cars in their day. Ask people around the world what they admire and love about America-- likely you'll hear Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, movies... even The Simpsons.

Hollywood shaped American culture (not always for the best in the past) by telling stories and helping people understand.

There is a myth that they been trying to push for years that America is great because of business or military strength, but that's just not true.

So yeah, Hollywood types have a big platform to speak.

Who cares what some elected politicians, rich folk, or business people have to say?

Most of the people in Hollywood just happen to be 'beautiful people', but not any more intelligent that the rest of us. Athletes just happen to be bigger, faster, stronger, but not necessarily more intelligent that the rest of us.

But both groups seem to think people actually want to know what they think...we don't give a rat's ass Fonda or De Niro, what you feel or believe. So make your movies and keep your politics to yourself. Your opinion is no more valuable or important than any of the rest of the 330 million Americans.

movies are politics. and they do matter--we def give a rat's ass what the Hollywood and music ppl think.

Much more so that insane politicians trying to lie and cheat and barter anything that can.

Both are trying to peddle their fantasy and create and envision a reality.
But the politician tools use are dividing and scaring ppl.

What Fonda said maybe over a line, but the point was well taken--what would it be like if the leaders like Trump had to deal with the same kind of pain their policies cause?

Remember it's Hollywood--they tell stories to reach people, and it's not always nice.

OTH what Roseanne did was cold racist.
