He's on my wildebeest list. Don't worry. I'm not going to punch him though. When I'm though with him rickthevulture will be picking at his bones. ROAR!
I second Kanye. It's not cool to hit a woman, but I wish someone would bitch slap Kim, especially after she was bragging about how rich she is this week. Fat ho.
I would punch Michael Moore in the face. (Is he even a celebrity?) I think I've seen at least four of his wacky-left movies and want eight hours of my life back.
Justin Bieber, Gordon Ramsey, Dane Cook, Floyd Mayweather, and Donald Trump. I'd need one of Trump's steaks to hold over my eye after Mayweather beats the crap out of me though.
Roger and Me was his first. It was after he spent a stint in San Francisco as editor of Mother Jones, and that seemed not to go over so well.
Michael Moore has a lot of affinity with working people who are conservative on social issues and send their kids to join the military, and things like that. So he didn't get along at Mother Jones.
He comes from basically a conservative background, and he is a nice guy. So he has affinity, though he is by nature a radical. He is also drawing much from his Catholic education. He likes to tell the story of how he got his start, writing an essay for a contest put on the Elk's Club, which lambasted the Elk's for having no black members. He won the contest and got his name in the newspaper.
Moore always has affinity for those who have been rejected. And his newer movies are a lot better. In Bowling for Columbine he interviews people just to make them look ridiculous. But in Fahrenheit 9/11 it's completely different, a very serious matter.
Re: Michael Moore -- If I "gotta love him", why do I just want to punch him in the face? Parker and Stone had the right view of him in "Team America: World Police".
Doesn't sound like Team America is intended to be taken seriously. Michael Moore has made himself into a sort of anti-yuppie cartoon like character. So is could easily be parodied.
Buy you're the one who doesn't like Moore. Instead of asking us why, you tell us why.
I liked Roger and Me and thought Bowling for Columbine was good in that Moore set out to show how awful guns are but found the issue is complicated (Canada has way more guns per capita but less murders per capita). The senile Charlton Heston interview was mean spirited.
Moore's movies since have been awful. Roger and me worked because it was personal and fairly small in scope and had a sense of humor about itself. Moore is not a skilled filmmaker, and it shows. Other people do documentaries ok the same topics way better.
Rockstar took the words out of my mouth. Ted Nugent is the epitome of a pussy hiding behind a gun and would lack the balls to stand up to a fair fight without the so-called "great equalizer"
I love Ted's music but his thinking is so deeply flawed that I have a real issue with even playing any of his tunes in the band. What if Hitler wrote symphonies?
Yeah Trump is bad, but I gotta change my vote to Stephen A Smith. That guy is the definition of a moron, he thinks the world revolves around him. The worst is he name drops all the celebrities he's tight with. Nobody wants to hear that shit. He's gotta do something about that hairline, that George Jefferson looking motherfucker.
rockstar writes "I love Ted's music but his thinking is so deeply flawed that I have a real issue with even playing any of his tunes in the band. What if Hitler wrote symphonies?" What is it with the Left and Hitler comparisons? I *hate* defending Trump, whom (once again!) I loathe, but it is inflammatory rhetoric to insinuate that he's a Nazi. And besides, which of the Nuge's views are so obnoxious? (I mean other than his support for gun rights -- we all know that support for the Second Amendment makes leftists' hearts go aflutter.)
MrDuece, I don't consider Trump a Nazi, but he IS fascist. If you don't agree with him, he threatens you and your family. See Paul Ryan, Tom Ricketts, etc. Hitler was a fascist too, so the comparison is valid.
OK, rockstar. I'm just seeing so much of this "Heil Trump!" nonsense these days that it brings out the contrarian in me. As has been pointed out before, the more Trump is called a racist and a fascist, the more his bitter, disenfranchised followers cling to him. Although I'm inclined, in my more libertarian moments, to think that Trump shows certain quasi-fascistic tendencies, I don't think the comparison with Hitler is valid at all. I'll put it in terms you'll understand: Bernie Sanders is a self-proclaimed [democratic] socialist and Stalin was the apotheosis of socialism, a Marxist, but I don't think Sanders is anything like Stalin.
MrDeuce: Sanders is a mainstream Democrat from 40-50 years ago; today he is very far left indeed. Clinton is a moderate Republican from the same era; outside of the social issues there's nothing liberal about her that I can see.
I can't really compare Trump to any presidential candidate in my lifetime. He's more like Richard J Daley, mayor of Chicago in the 60's and 70's...except Trump is only intellectually corrupt, not monetarily. Both are the biggest bullies I've ever seen in politics though. Juan Peron might be another good comparison to Trump...?
Trump promotes racial and ethnic hatred. This is how Hitler and the Nazi's came to power. Trump is just like them, though he probably does not carry one of their membership cards in his pocket.
Mussolini defined fascism as "reaction", meaning against the Left, and then later as "corporatism". Hitler was also both of these things. Trump may not qualify as reaction against the Left, not sure. But Hitler was much more than just reaction and corporatism. His movement depended on racism and eugenics. Trump certainly is a racist. This is surprising about him, in my view, because I do not remember him talking this way before this campaign.
So as far as the broader issue of comparing American politicians on the Right to Hitler and the Nazi's, when they are promoting social stratification, using schemes to justify it, and when they are trying to ferment reaction against social leveling and civil rights gains of the Left, and when they are trying to promote corporate control of our society, and especially when they are promoting overseas military adventurism in order to gain compliance at home, the I say that the comparison to Hitler and the Nazi's is warranted and important to make.
Bernie Sanders is actually quite moderate when you look at American political discourse of the pre-Reagan era, and then in comparison with Western Europe he would be considered a conservative.
Politicians are not celebrities. Donald Trump is a celebrity playing a politician on TV and live stage shows.
So many good suggestions on here... Either Kanye West or Justin Bieber needs the biggest reality check by having their nose busted
I don't want to drop the word 'fascist' lightly on Trump, but I have to be mildly concerned when the President of the anti-defamation league, Abraham Foxman (a concentration camp survivor) points out the scene of Trump rallies where the audience is made to take a 'loyalty oath' to the Donald with their right arms upraised in a fashion resembling the nazi salute and wonders if we are headed down that path. When at these rallies plainclothes goons drag out those who heckle or don't comply. As for me, I don't take oaths to candidates, I took one to the Constitution of the United States.
If it was just the liberal press making this observation it could be called as that. When you have liberals joined by Glen Beck, the Anti-Defamation league, Ted Cruz (who does admittedly have an agenda) and sources across the spectrum you start taking notice. A charge of 'Fascism' is a cheap knee jerk reaction most of the time. On the other hand, if it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck- you get my drift!
I don't want to punch anyone. But, I wish these celebrities would go away...
Kanye West and the entire Kardashian Family including the former Bruce Jenner and Scott Discik.
Peyton Manning - I never cared for his awe shucks persona.
Kobe Bryant - he is a rapist.
The Obamas and Clintons. Each is pure evil with no soul or moral compass. Power hungry.
Several girls I have dated.
A stripper who I last visited a few months ago.
Mike and Mike from ESPN.
LIberals in general.
Several coworkers,
Jon Cena and his girlfriend, one of the Bella twins. Money hungry woman.
Parker from Gold Rush. Jerk.

It would seem I would like to punch MM in his big fat face, but I loved "Roger & Me" so much, he gets a free pass.
His other movies, not so much, but Roger & Me was brilliant.
None.
Could care less about so called celebrities. As I just ignore them.

He really is a great guy. You gotta love him!

The list is just too long.
I never listened to a sports guy that is wrong on every single sports issue until this guy
Daniel Tosh, Carrot top and Dane cook.
Adam lavine.
Leo Dicaprio.

I agree. Roger & Me was good because it was humorous.
I never hit a woman in my life but comrade Hillary deserves at least a kick in her pompous ass!
Way too many others to mention, I don't have the time. Lol

And I'm glad people are exposing Ted Nugent.
