Thank you for proving my point from further up the thread. Your sense of irony and wit is sharper than Ann Coulter's elbows. Bravo. Bravo.

1) if you want to see bigoted portrayals of Jews in Western media, take a look at the editorial pages of European newspapers - especially in Italy and France.

2) In America, we don't see the Israelis in a negative light like we do the Muslims because the Israelis have never made a violent attack on our soil. Muslims, on the other hand, are pretty active in that area. Other than Bill Goldberg, I can't come up with a Jew who committed wanton violence on American soil in my lifetime. And, it's hard to hate on Goldberg when we devoured mediocrity and shat out excellence.

But that's part of the point here, and another pillar of my conservative viewpoint -- Liberals = take themselves seriously, always. I think they feel it allows them to take the social/moral high ground.
Conservatives = tend to be more self-deprecating and better at being mocked. I think this stems from decades of Conservatives being mocked in the media and on campus - eventually, we learned to deal with it, and now it is much more likely that "edgy" humor will come from the right. SEE: the South Park creators, Red Eye, little Stevie Crowder, Dennis Miller, etc.

....then, why do celebrities embrace dictators? I think it is just because dictators are foreign, wacky, dangerous, and "edgy". Oh, and they have fabulous wardrobes.
Maybe I simplify it too much, but I think that the Hollywood Leftie crowd embraces these international thugs in what they see as an act of rebellion. Even the Hollylibs Baby Boomers, now in their 60's, still seem to have serious mommy/daddy issues, and I think they project these issues on to "Middle America" - which they see as conservative, strict, responsible, and boring - just like their parents.

John,

While I agree with your point on celebrities needing status and constant "relevance" to feel validated, I don't think that 99% of the fascism-supporting Hollywooders have the level of understanding and forethought that you credit them. When I see celebrities interviewed on talk shows or when I look at how they live their lives off-screen, I have always been struck by their complete inability to grasp cause/effect relationships. They all seem driven completely by impulse and emotion (which may be exactly what makes them effective on screen) This is why they hate responsibility, this is why they endorse silly causes, this is why they got caught up most fervently in Obamamania, ans this is why they so frequently engage in destructive and addictive habits.

I agree. Garofalo does make a more convincing man.
