According to O'Reilly, if You Don't Get Paid to Talk Politics, Shut Up!!
Nope, that was not exactly the topic, or his intended message, but it was the undercurrent. The topic was that most (or at least one of the most) witless of Right Wing knee jerk beliefs; celebrities (Dem./Lib., only) have no right to talk politics.
He had, as his bat boy, Andrea Pesyer, who is to my mind is an acidic, and I mean in the Republican drinks and pisses acid sense, columnist for the NY Post. She has authored a new book called:
"Celebutards –The Hollywood Hacks, Limousine Liberals, and Pandering Politicians Who Are Destroying America."
You can see that she is as objective as the next Republican writer, meaning she is as biased as the day is long, and as bigoted as the ocean is deep. (Side Bar: Do people actually pay money for this shit? In this kind of economy?)
Back to O'Reilly. At one point he was talking about Bruce Springsteen, and he said something like for Bruce to talk politics was as wrong as for O'Reilly to try to play "Born in the USA." And after that he talked about Bill Maher, but gave Maher something of a semi pass, as he makes a good living with his political act.
So is that the message Mr. O'Reilly? If you get paid to do it, no matter lack of credentials (like himself) than you can talk politics in public, but if you are a singer/songwriter/musician, or actor, or butcher or baker of candlestick maker, you can't? I mean you can't just single out show biz types. They are not the only people out there not getting paid to talk politics.
Witlessness. Funny thing is that O'Reilly is to my mind truly insane, and in a world truly run by the rules of reason and rationality, thinking that way about celebrities would be enough to doubt his mental state. However, in the Right Wing Reality, that is a commonly held belief.
That shit is way messed up!
Anyway, I am not even going to embed, but I will link.
