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."
"What do you think of the comedians like Dave Chappelle, for example, whos saying that hes being subjected to censorship?" she asked.
Idle appeared to disregard Chappelles claim that cancel culture is a phenomenon because, "Well where does he say it? On SNL," later adding, "Well youre not being that much canceled, are you? If you were in your room complaining Id have a lot more sympathy."

"I grew up in that world," he said, explaining that he was a "war baby" from World War II, noting that fascism was "very real to us, fascism-what can happen if you let one person take over a country, so that still rings very strongly with me in my soul."
He also slammed conservatives in his own country, "I hate them intensely, Ive always hated conservatives, Im afraid to say Im very prejudiced against them, theyre horrible people."

(1,632 posts)A lot of it is based on personal experience, observation, paying attention to things almost since the Bill Clinton administration.
I remember Limbaugh had TV show at the time and all I saw was a lot of bluster and accusation without anything to back it up.
And Eric Idle is right, they can and will do some horrible things if given free reign with no restraint. History proves this over and over again.

Terry Jones and Graham Chapman have passed away, while to my knowledge Michael Palin has kept out of "controversy."
