HOLLYWOOD LIBERAL HYPOCRISY - IN THREE WORDS

 
Hollywood Limousine Liberals, we all know who they are. Movie stars,  the self absorbed, ill educated, and shallow self anointed.  I say ill educated because they have the belief that their celebrity status has put them above all other human beings, but that is our own fault. Plus when they have gained this "A-List" celebrity status, that their intellect is somehow miraculously enhanced to genius level.
 
  They believe that they cannot be challenged and to enforce their beliefs they surround themselves with only those who will agree with them, including their fan base.  And to those who do disagree they have the power of the "entertainment media" to demean and castigate them.

  In recent years however the Hollywood Liberals have now taken upon themselves on what we all now must think and especially on what is deemed offensive. They not only are endlessly attacking the 2nd Amendment, but they are re-writing the 1st Amendment. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and most of all, the Freedom of Expression.

  However though when it comes to the Hollywood Liberals it is when something offends THEM, well then, that is something completely different.

  And I can prove this hypocrisy by the Hollywood Liberals in just three words - - - ANDREW "DICE" CLAY.  The DICEMAN will also show you how when it comes to political correctness, even the Hollywood Liberals will sell you out and banish you.

  Because Hollywood Liberals will always hide themselves behind two shield words. Those words are "ART" and "ARTIST".

  Andrew "Dice" Clay got his start doing comedy and impressions at a young age. He also appeared early in his career in such television series as M*A*S*H, Diff'rent Strokes and Crime Story. He also landed small roles in films such as MAKING THE GRADE (1984) , PRETTY IN PINK (1986) and CASUAL SEX? (1988).  However it was his character "Dice" in the film MAKING THE GRADE that he began to focus on to go into stand-up comedy.

  The type of comedy of Andrew "Dice" Clay was strictly for adults and yes it was vulgar. However it was what comedy has to be, and that was funny. The character of the DICEMAN that he played was particularly aimed at women, this character was the epitome of the male chauvinistic pig.  But Andrew "Dice" Clay was a huge success playing to sold out theaters for years, and Dice had a huge following of female fans. Many in the front row were hoping to be his target for the evening.

  Andrew "Dice" Clay is not the first stand-up comedian in the world to use vulgarity for his act, not will he be the last.  Remember LENNY BRUCE? I did a blog years back on Lenny Bruce, I'll get back to him in a second.

  DICE became one of the most successful stand-up comics in the world - - - until - - - some elitist snob from the Hollywood Liberals and those of the art world became offended. It only takes one. And whoever put the target on Andrew "Dice" Clay's back almost destroyed his career.

  Let me show some examples of the Hollywood Liberal Hypocrisy:

  On October 3, 1992, singer SINEAD O'CONNOR appeared as the musical guest on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Her act was sand an a cappella version of Bob Marley's song "WAR", during the performance, while emphasizing the word "evil" she tore a picture of Pope John Paul II. Needless to say, this caused a huge protest among Catholics and the religious communities. Hollywood and the music community rallied around Ms. O'Connor proclaiming that she as an "artist" has the right to express herself through her "art".  You see, the Hollywood Liberals also have designated people whom they allow to be offended; and those just happen to be Catholics, Christians and Jews.

  In 1987, photographer Andres Serrano's work, a photo entitles IMMERSION: PISS CHRIST was the winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Arts "Awards in Visual Arts" Competition. The photo was that of a crucifix submerged in a jar of Mr. Serrano's own urine. Though this photo did cause controversy, it was still exhibited and liberals still defended Mr. Serrano's right to express himself through his art. This photograph even received a $15,000.00 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

  Next example, in 1989 photographer ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE, (1946 - 1989), began an exhibit of his work in a tour known as THE PERFECT MOMENT.  His photography was to be first exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The photos consisted of subjects as the consumption on urine, bondage, sadomasochism and the homoerotic. One photo in particular was a self portrait of Mr. Mapplethorpe with the handle of a bullwhip inserted into his rectum.

  Again, needless to say the exhibit caused quite a controversy and the laws against censorship and Mr. Mapplethorpe's First Amendment rights were at the head of the debate, not only by the art community, but by Hollywood liberals as well. Also of what is art, and can it be funded by taxpayer dollars. The liberals stood up strong for Mr. Mapplethorpe and fought for his exhibit to be shown to the public, standing up to those in the public who were protesting the exhibit, calling it pornographic and obscene. When the Corcoran Gallery refused to have the exhibit, the non-profit Washington Project for the Arts then displayed the images.

  Then, in 1996, artist CHRIS OFILI'S painting THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY, was being exhibited in London, Berlin and New York City. The painting is 8 feet high and six feet wide, it depicts a Black Madonna with an exposed breast. The Madonna is surrounded by butterflies with turns out to be photographs of female genitalia. However, one of the things used to paint this portrait was ELEPHANT EXCREMENT. Then Mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani threaten to pull the $7 million dollars in City Hall grants to the Brooklyn Museum for showing the portrait, but lost the court case because of the protection Mr. Ofili has under the First Amendment, (as it should be).

  Lastly, let us not forget the actions of movie "actors" DANNY GLOVER and SEAN PENN, along with singer HARRY BELEFONTE; who openly supported and had shown affection for the late Venezuelan president HUGO CHAVEZ.  Again, the Hollywood Left and those in the entertainment industry openly displayed support for these thee men by defending their First Amendment rights.
 
  This may surprise you, but I too support the First Amendment rights of all the aforementioned. I will speak out against their opinions and actions, but that is the big difference between them and I, that is how far I will go. To just give my opposing view, hoping to convince others.

  Let's get back to Andrew "Dice" Clay. The Diceman was a huge success. Best selling comedy albums, sold out performances and HBO specials. He was in great demand. One great example of this success is the fact that he is the first comedian in history to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row; a feat that he did THREE TIMES.

  Then  - - - something happened. Somebody - - - got offended. The women's rights groups then started to become involved. One thing Hollywood liberals are focused on like a laser is political correctness. Soon the female Hollywood liberals became involved, and I say that Hollywood liberals will never cease to use political correctness as an opportunity for free positive publicity. Women then began to call for the boycott of Andrew "Dice" Clay, and it began to work.

  The pinnacle of this came in 1990 when Dice appeared on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Two women on the show refused to work that week in protest of Dice guest hosting that evening. they were cast member NORA DUNN, and - - - ironically that weeks musical guest - - - SINEAD O'CONNOR. Yes, the same SINEAD O'CONNER who some years before caused her own controversy by tearing a photograph of the Pope in protest. Ms. O'Connor was herself trying to get her career back on track for her action that particular evening.

  The domino effect then followed. Even MTV, yes MTV banned Andrew "Dice Clay for life. MTV who broadcast some of the most meaningless garbage on television deemed Andrew "Dice" Clay to vulgar for their network.

  The career of Andrew "Dice" Clay was almost destroyed. The same Hollywood left, would stood up for all the aforementioned, turned their backs on Andrew "Dice" Clay. Yes, they even rallied behind SINEAD O'CONNER blasting anyone who criticized her. The week after her tearing of the photo of the Pope, she was booed off stage in New York City, KRIS KRISTOPHERSON even comforted her on stage. Ms. O'Conner's career was almost ruined, but the difference between her and Andrew "Dice" Clay is that her audience and fan base left her voluntarily, nobody in the entertainment industry called for her boycott as they did the Diceman.

  And that is the problem we have with the Hollywood left. They are not anything like their predecessors of the past and of the golden age. Somehow over the past few decades the felt that they have been empowered. Something about people who reach celebrity status today, it goes to their mindset. It is also because once they reach this status, those that surround them spoil them like children. Soon they believe that everyone on earth must treat them the same way. For some reason, as I have mentioned before, they believe their intelligence is miraculously enhanced. Also, because they have played certain characters and certain roles, it now makes them expert on these subjects.

  With this new status come narcissism, and now woe upon those who shall disagree with them on any subject. They will use the media that they own, and their celebrity status to chastise, demean, intimidate, and cause you to feel great guilt for you beliefs so that they will silence you.

  However to me, these Hollywood elitists are, as I said in the past, they are FAMOUS people - - - not IMPORTANT people, and there is a HUGE difference with that. To me as I previously stated,  they all are irresponsible, self-centered, ill educated and shallow.

  To destroy a mans career, when any of the things they do and say are just as offensive as the comedic ART of Andrew "Dice" Clay.

  Ironically, it was a comedian and a pornographer that fought for them, and everyone else in this country for their right to offend and express themselves. I wrote of this before. LENNY BRUCE a comedian whose vulgarity cost him his career. He died broke fighting the government for violating his, and all the other artists First Amendment rights. Then there is LARRY FLYNT who owns HUSLTER MAGAZINE and the porn company that goes with it. The Hollywood left has HONORED both these men by having their stories told in movies. They were cast as heroes. DUSTIN HOFFMAN played Lenny Bruce in the film "LENNY" (1974) , and WOODY HARRELSON played Larry Flint in "THE PEOPLE vs. LARRY FLYNT" (1996). Tell me, how is the comedy of Lenny Bruce and the pornography of Larry Flynt any different in their demeaning of women, than that of the stand-up comedy of Andrew "Dice" Clay?

Now, the Hollywood left is deciding just who can and cannot be offended, and they are so vehement about it that they have proven that they are willing to eat one of their own.

  Fortunately though, Andrew "Dice" Clay is making a comeback. it has taken about 12 years, but he is now getting his career back on track. I have seen him on some cable television series and recently he starred in the Woody Allen film, (the same Woody Allen Dice publically criticized for Allen sexual actions with his then step daughter, now wife), "BLUE JASMINE" (2013) where he was critically acclaimed for his performance. He is  performing regularly in Las Vegas and is beginning to tour again.

  Dice fought back - - - so can you.
