"The President of the United States is, you know, our boss. But also, you know, the president and the first lady are kind of like the mom and the dad of the country. And when your dad says something, you listen. [And] when you don't, it usually bites you in the [expletive] later on. So I'm here to support the president."
That's pretty zany, but Tony Bennett's comments are just out crazy, idiotic.i8godzilla wrote:Here is what Chris Rock said at this same event:http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/ins ... z2KGb59ys8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Exactly what came to mind when I heard him. If you hadn't said it I would have.cbunt1 wrote:I'm thinking he left his BRAIN in San Fransisco...

I thank him for his service and he of all people should know what the Nazi's are and how they accomplished what they did. But if he supports gun control he is an idiot!Andrew wrote:Mr. Bennett served honorably in the 63rd Inf. Div. seeing combat in France and Germany(elements of the 63rd are credited with being the first into Germany) during WWII. He's old, he may be confused about the issues, but he's not an idiot.
I don't care how old he is or that he served in WW2 if he is going to use his celebrity status to advance gun control or any other element of the evil socialist agenda being pushed on us he is an idiot. He got his message out and other "useful idiots" will hear it and believe it.Liberty wrote:He is 87 years old for crying out loud. He is wrong but when your 87 years old you deserve the right to be wrong and ignored. I hope I get a chance to be 87 years old somewhat articulate and wrong on some political issues...
People using their celebrity status ( who have no idea what they are talking about) to spread propaganda that will lead to your loss of civil rights and liberties, that doesnt bother you?Abraham wrote:Getting worked up over what some octogenarian/celebrity has to say isn't worth the emotional investment.

Would you be upset if he was yelling at you to "get off his lawn"?
Of course not, you'd probably just laugh considering the source...but if you can't laugh, then at least let his opinion slide off your back.
I generally don't listen to celebs (unless its Chuck Norris), many do. I make an effort not to spend money on the various forms of media produced by these outspoken celebs who dont support the same thing i do.Abraham wrote:No one is required to listen to celebrities.
If you do make the decision to listen to celebrities - That's a choice, not a requirement...
They can say whatever they choose - No one is required to get overwrought with they have to say.
I do know some folks get a bit of entertainment value complaining about others...
