PC Ben Affleck Hides Slave Owning Ancestors per Hacked Sony Emails




Saccharine PC correct/sweet Ben Affleck decided to edit his slave owning ancestors out of his professional Democratic Party Resume. Whatever.

Reminds me of back in October when PC Ben tried to explain PC to Bill Maher on what and how to talk Islam and Islamophobia. No wonder the Dems lost Congress with perfect little prissy PC “men” like Ben Affleck mucking up the road and everyday conversation. (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/05/bill-maher-1-ben-affleck-0.html)



The film star Ben Affleck asked television chiefs to hide the fact that one of his ancestors was a slave owner, according to a newly published batch of hacked emails involving the media giant Sony.

The Oscar-winning director and actor, star of the forthcoming movie blockbuster Batman v Superman, asked producers of the public-television show Finding Your Roots to leave some details out of the story of his heritage. The host of the show, Henry Louis Gates, a prominent Harvard history professor, appeared upset by the apparently unprecedented request but the sensitive facts were nonetheless left out of the show, which aired last September.

The emails were published online by WikiLeaks. It is not clear how the pro-transparency group acquired the emails, which it published with up to 30,000 others involving Sony that are believed to be part of a huge batch stolen last summer in a cyber-attack blamed on a group affiliated to North Korea.

Politically Correct Storm Troopers Like Ben Affleck Have Destroyed Democratic Party with PC POISON


"I am PC Pure!" - "You are a moron Ben,"

I stopped writing over at Daily Kos because one day I did not know the lexicon of 100% liberal culturally pure words. And with the use of one politically incorrect (unacceptable word in any circumtance) word which I used metaphorically “Rothchild” in a, theoretically I thought, discussion of nineteenth century economics related to the American Civil War – I was attacked instantly by dozens of Kos Nazis or “Kossacks” – attacked instantly and totally accused of “anti-semitism” in dozens of comments rendered in a matter of tens of seconds.
If you think you are liberal or progressive or believe in science, if you don’t believe any of that the KOS way, you are an outsider and eliminated or shunned, voted rated down down or commented to death by 100% politically correct lefties – the pure or purist wing of that party that just lost so badly in Congress.
Ben Affleck, to protect his politically perfect version of limousine liberal PC, regarding the fanatic ragheads in the east and their war on the west, attacked Bill Maher as a act of loyalty to his own ego and the PC niche he has carved out regarding Politically Correct Fantasy Arab Interpretation Hollywood style history.
The Republicans have the poor, the ignorant. The poor will always be with us. Their base is secure forever.
The politically correct minefield, mindfield that the left has to go through to prove oneself and or one’s cause pure and correct and abstract and not real to the man or woman in the street - college professor PC ideal classroom model - is the problem the Dem Morons like Ben Affleck have until the Dems can crawl back into power as a politically party of real people and not PC clones.

Bill Donohue Catholic League Boosting Bill Maher's Ratings Again Whining About Catholic Real Time Reality







Bill Donohue, the president and possible sole member of the Catholic League, has called for HBO to cancel Real Time With Bill Maher after the most recent show featured Wonket Pal Dan Savage, who very offensively and unfairly suggested that Catholic priests do sex on children. Donohue, who has a history of downplaying sexual abuse by priests, is likely to be about as successful in getting Bill Maher off the air as he was in his epic battle against Jon Stewart last year. We predict that in two weeks, after nothing has happened to Bill Maher, Donohue will declare victory and ask for some donations to continue his important work of complaining about the Simpsons.

Trolling for Dollars – Ann Coulter and other Media Whores / Skanks / Trolls / Catholic-Judenrats

Fly Me to the Moon on your broom Ann Coulter – Ten Bucks?

I do not understand how a woman in her fifties still is walking around in blithe sixteen year old style blonde long, long hair. I do not understand why a woman who looks like the first whore I did it with is still so popular after all these years. She was older than me but not that old like Ann Coulter Bela Lugosi formaldehyde preserved old. Perhaps anorexia is the true secret key to eternal life on this planet?

When I see her on Bill Maher, I understand from the corporate world how blowjobs and supplying cocaine to the rich and powerful in the front office can get a skank promoted and in a corner office without any real work to do. But then, does she have an automatic groupie following that puts Bill Maher’s ratings up five points, is that why she is on his HBO Media Troll Show so much? Payola?

Do all the media trolls, formerly media whores; do they all have the same agent at the William Morris Agency? Like who books the dog acts on once legitimate theatre talk entertainment Sunday news shows these days? Vladimir Putin?

This annoying switch in my brain that is so visible is faulty and the “Matrix” like masters of the universe are not like totally controlling me when I see the likes of Liz Cheney or Ann Coulter or even Keith Olbermann booked on the George Stephanopoulos’ political dog and pony show on Sunday Morning – This Week.  They gave the Arab girl from CNN a few weeks to turn around the ratings and then they pulled the old Jay Leno on the female Conan when they 86’d Christiane Amanpour.

“See! (Mira!) Quality does not work. What works is circus!” as Roger Ailes subtlety e-mails his Fox News staff twenty times a day with.

I know I stopped watching George Stephanopoulos or taking him seriously about anything when I read that the poor dear only gets $40,000 monthly living allowance to rent a crumby apartment in New York City when they sent him to the morning show to jazz, jizz it up Bill Clinton style.

What really turned my bile green, not with envy but pure old fashioned moral disgust, was the picture and the follow-up research that he was BFF with Catholic Media “Centrist” Catholic-Judenrat Sean Michael Winters or is it Michael Sean Winters who is official USCCB apologist for institutional endemic sodomy/pedophila and the new far right fascist turn in the American Uber-Catholic Church. 

Sieg Heil!

Whatever.

Cute as a Bug and Expensive Media Troll Yes-Man George Stephanopoulos

Bill Maher - Religulous - Review



I finally got around to seeing the movie Religulous with professional comedian commentator Bill Maher.

The title apparently arises from fusing the word Religion with Ridiculous.

Religulous

The movie is not a very good documentary on the topic of Religion. In fact the whole point of the movie is to show Religion in an unfavorable light. That light is the opinion of the comedian’s pet peeve or pet gripe that religion is wrong or a bad thing.

Somewhere in between improvised street interviews expressing opinion and soliciting opinions on the topic, Maher or his director fails to make a good point about anything. It comes more across as a home movie than a professionally cut documentary. This cavalier film editing is from a director, Larry Charles, who has directed many TV shows among them Seinfeld.

Maher says something somewhere in the home movie to the effect that he is not an atheist in that most atheists’ strong assertions constitute in fact another religion. The many times I have read material on him, his place on the map in terms of beliefs moves around a lot.

Interspersed with the gorilla journalism are scenes of stock footage mostly from old Hollywood movies on religious subjects. It was here that I saw a similarity with the Cable show The Naked Archeologist with Simcha Jacobovici who is not an archeologist. The Naked Archeologist is an entertainment show with historic overtones and shown on The History Channel.

It was here that I realize that the whole generational genre thing these days is about entertainment and not classical news and or documentaries. Maher’s impromptu deliveries did not have the polished umph of a professional tightly edited movie, documentary or comedy routine. In fact, there were probably few retakes as in a scene in a Truck Stop chapel in Charlotte NC in the bible belt where I was not too certain that Maher was going to walk out alive of the chapel. His tone came across to me as a bit disrespectful of the beliefs of the men in that chapel and delivered to their faces.

I have watched his shows both on ABC and HBO and know he was not being disrespectful but there is that east coast America urban flippancy serving as confidence for some that does not translate south of the Mason Dixon line or west of the Mississippi. His humor is usually on an intellectual sarcastic bent.

Maher interviews a few snake oil salesmen, successful preachers, who ooze confidence in their confidence game and their spin on their successful business techniques which in my opinion is not legitimate religion. He of course does a few lines outside the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City and is chased off the grounds by Mormon Security. He also stands in St. Peter’s Square in Rome to make a few lines of acerbic attitude. Also on the itinerary was a visit to a Dinosaur museum showing those creatures co-existing with man in the 6,000 years old age of the religious universe and a Holy Land Theme Park in Florida complete with hourly shows of scourgings and crucifixions. (entertainment?)

It, the movie, rates more as entertainment and geared to younger age brackets like most TV shows. In fact I think it could have been done on cable but even cable is likely to shy away from the topic of non-belief in religion which is where I think this film was originally headed considering it choppy sequences dancing all over geography and the topic of religion.

As I have asserted on many occasions, I feel that most atheists, or in Bill Maher’s case quasi-atheist, have had a bad religion experience in their past to justify their present attitudes and rhetoric toward belief.

In Bill Maher’s case, he was the son of a Jewish mother and an Irish Catholic father and raised in the RC church. That in one scene, interviewing his sister and late mother and sitting in his former church as background located in New Jersey, the subject of how the family stopped going to church when he was thirteen is not probed in depth. The story goes something like the father stopped going to church and the mother was not too certain as to why her husband did that. She did speculate that they used birth control and her husband no doubt had a run in with the local priest on the subject.

No big deal but perhaps the curiosity of the mind of a young person like Maher never got a full explanation why one Sunday he was going to church and the next Sunday there was a mandate to boycott the religion thing.

The market on disbelief, and people’s curiousity about it, are no doubt the reason for a modest profit on the movie. People are curious about non-belief. The latest polls put the population of America with no religious affiliation at around sixteen percent. That and the lack of diction or strong traditional rhetoric to defend one’s belief in non-belief is a factor that would seem to have many people buying movie tickets. I saw this film on Cable TV so I did not buy a ticket.

Unless you are a Bill Maher groupie or are deeply curious about one man’s obsession with the follies of religion in a poorly make film, I do not recommend this home movie.
