***My biggest problem with any polemic take on Alda has to do with taking a simple comment made in an interview and exploiting it with sound bites about the "left-coast, Dumb actors" which are directed more at the Liberal viewpoint than as an objective criticism of the actor's statements.

I would be more inclined to think that it offended you because it demonstrated the stupidity of most of the Hollywood left. On which there are tons of evidence everywhere.

If you had any reason to doubt the validity of Alda's statemnt analysis, you could have just provided some evidence, but instead you simply hysterically jumped in trying to squash any discussion of "left-cost Dumb actors" of which there are many, many, many, as we all know.

If you deny the simple fact that that left ideology has been coloring the American movie industry in more than one way, then you should simply take closer look and the films produced in the last twenty years or so.

I think to be fair, if the left wing actors would only stop shoving their agendas into our faces, then we all would most likely forget about their immature points of view and happily moved on, but for as long as the larger and larger portion of drek produced by Hollywood in addition to being sloppy is also driven by agendas, it is THEY who set the tone of the discussion.

How would you consider all those idiotic ribbons at the ceremonies? Apparently that is OK with you. Because you agree with those views? Or have you once spoken for them to stop that display? If it is OK for them to stick it to us, it is OK for us to ridicule them for doing so.

Otherwise you would like to have your cake and eat it too. You want to applaud the "masterpieces" like T&L and Philadelphia, but keep the truth hidden, to pretend that those are the products of purely artistic inclinations and not some political agenda of today.

Sorry, no go.
