When is this asshole going to go away....?

[bliss_eternal]

...once and for all?

Was it last year, (or prior) that he made a homophobic slur? Only to find some on-line defending him because,"...he's from a different time"...like that f*cking matters. Um.....that time is over. He needs to realize that, and drink a big steaming mug of shut the fuck up....everytime he's tempted to apply his out dated, abusive, hateful, bullshit logic to today's issues and people.

Now the asshat has created an ad for how to keep today's troubled young Hollywood ladies in line,....with a whack (and/or a spanking)from him. :eyes::puke:

Other than the fact that he has this yearly telethon for muscular dystrophy...why EXACTLY is he allowed to speak in public....about anything....other than muscular dystrophy?

:mad::grr:

1. I missed his homophobic slur.

When/what was that? Anyone remember? :(

It's really obnoxious that he thinks it's okay for him to threaten violence against these women just because he doesn't approve of them.

Would he ever Dare to threaten any Male celebrities the same way? Or does he only threaten to assault women?

If he ever really carried out his threat and hit them, would they be allowed to beat the hell out of him because he carrying out a premeditated assault and they were merely defending themselves from someone who is obviously vicious and deranged?

And, why are their lives any of this damned business? Does he know them? Do they know him? Is he involved in their lives in any possible way? What gives him any right at all to judge their lives?

What gives him any right to give out any reward or punishment for how anyone else lives their life but himself? Who appointed him any kind of judge over anybody else's life? Who the hell is he?

2. you're fortunate...

...to have missed it. at least the dizzying array of which the words were uttered, apologized for....and uttered AGAIN. :eyes:
i'm sure i had some of the backlash from it bookmarked, but have since deleted them.

here's what i could get from the interwebs ;) Enjoy!

4. Wow.

:grr:

I've always agreed with the criticism of his telethon, institutionalizing the idea that people with disabilities only have hope if we can be cured, and we're hopeless otherwise.

I knew that he had attacked and belittled disability rights activists.

But to know that he had belittled gay people too...

I've got two really big reasons to dislike that asshole. :(

[bliss_eternal]

3. he's been on record for years...

...regarding his low regard for women. yet, the birth of his son's was NOTHING, at least nothing special...and his daughter (many, many years later) was a miracle...according to him. :eyes:

Comment about women in comedy:

Quote:
''I don't like any female comedians,'' he said. ''A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but...I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world.''

5. Okay, make that three

really big reason.

:wtf:

How the hell has he maintained his public support and not been shunned/banished to silence?

[bliss_eternal]

6. well, it's just chicks and...

...those gay fellas, thom. not like they really matter, or anything...right?
:eyes: :sarcasm:

isn't it maddening? they still gave that asshole an award, AFTER having said all he has, publicly?!
:mad::grr: :(

i have a friend who shared w/me, that he's also been a rather noted racist. unfortunately, i couldn't find any recent articles that provide proof or quotes as evidence of this. though, i found several that reference his racism, like it's just known by everyone, and has been for years. :shrug: when i have more time, i'll enter the article archives that don't come up through basic engine searches, to see what i can find.

all of this is just to say, he can seemingly slur all of us (minorities--women, gblt's, disabled, people of color, etc.), and it doesn't do much to tarnish his image. :shrug:

not sure if he seemingly gets a pass because he's (cough)...of that (intolerant) generation. :eyes: ...or what the deal is.
but i'm sick of it, and he does NOT get a pass from me.

7. i'm as baffled as you.

:( seriously. i don't get it.

[spooky3]

11. well, if it makes you feel any better

I think most people have thought of him as a bitter fool for a very long time. He would be completely ignored if not for his one day charity extravaganza.

[bliss_eternal]

12. actually...

..that does make me feel a bit better. thanks, spooky3! :hi:

8. When he dies

I don't know what his problem is besides the obvious. The fact that Linsey Lohan could kick his ass is irony, and my guess is that his old ass hand wouldn't get anywhere near her butt. Lohan is nobody I know that much about except for trash magazines, but I saw her in a horror movie once. She's a fairly decent actress, which is more than I can say for certain 'big' stars. I wish her well.



His vocal threats are all the more damaging because he gets away with it, plays the curmudgeon, when he's really just an asshole.

9. lol...

:rofl:

Comments like his, adding to the ever growing dogpile of those that think it's just fine and dandy to "trash the young female celebrities"...irritate me to no end.

One rarely (if ever) sees or hears anyone acknowledge that young women like her, were groomed for stardom from the time they could walk. They have no childhood to speak of. They didn't learn the things most of us eventually get from exposure to school, work, dating, etc. They have no social skills, and frequently come from backgrounds w/addiction issues. They are ticking time bombs, that will inevitably explode in actions like those exhibited by Lohan (and others) Public drunk behavior, drug use, endangering herself and others (i.e. drunk driving, possession, etc.).

Instead of anyone feeling a tad bit concerned for these young women's well-being, they just jump on the "...she's a stupid, drunk, spoiled whore" brigade. It's sickening...and predictable.

As for Lewis...I hate to say such a thing, but the day you speak of, can't come soon enough. :(

10. oh and forgot...

to address your comment on lyndsay's acting. totally agree. i've seen her in several films, she's a talented actress. i also wish her the best. ;)
