Tim Allen-Hollywood like 1930's Germany

?quality=90&strip=all&w=915


Tim Allen says that living in Hollywood right now is akin to Nazi Germany.

The comedian made the claim while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

“You gotta be real careful around here,” Allen noted. “You get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody else believes. This is like ’30s Germany.”


Well, for a once arrested dope peddler, he shouldn't complain. Guy only got off being sent to prison because he ratted on his fellow drug pusher.

As opposed to his own ilk, who literally beat up people who aren't like them? And, like the rest of his ilk, this talentless boob can dish it out, but he can't take it.

His tv show wasn't all that great, or good and, most definitely, not funny. Same for his lame ass movies. I'm sure most of the conservative ilk find him talented. Well I'm not conservative and I find him to be anti comedic, i.e. NOT FUNNY!! Hey Tim! 🖕🏻

Kimmel just asked him about how the inauguration was.

Didn't he also complain about the woman who played his wife on home improvement wanting raise ?

Brown people being shot at and told to go back.

Bans and deportations of people.

Yet this fool views himself as a victim with a comparison to victims of one of the worst things to happen.

It's like Nazi Germany! They'll beat you up for going against the party line. Except for, you know, the actual beating up part. So that's a small difference right there.

Tim's such a delicate chap. You could probably beat him up by sending him a drawing of a clenched fist.

He avoided a possible life term by ratting out other dealers, receiving instead a 3-7 year sentence, and he was paroled after 2 years and 4 months at a federal prison in Minnesota.

Thought I remembered a prison term, and found this information in his Wikipedia entry.

I'm bundling up my DVDs of Galaxy Quest and all three Toy Story movies, and will deliver them to Goodwill within the next couple of days.

Carefully concealed within the liner notes for each DVD, I'm adding a sticky note:

"CAUTION: This movie features a performance by a convicted cocaine dealer who now compares the horrors of Nazi Germany to the current political climate in Hollywood.
Parental discretion is STRONGLY advised.
"

Unless someone else could recommend a stronger warning...

These fucks were practically screaming about wanting to lynch Obama, inciting violence, etc. All manner of actual arrestable offenses!

Yet when Orange Fatsack won, all they can do is graceless gloating and whining about being "persecuted" (?!)

More like they are being relentlessly and rightly shamed, and they don't like that. (boo fuckin' hoo!!)

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!


Nice try, ya piece of crap. I guess I wasn't aware Tim Allen was a Trump supporter. I

If your doughy sh*tsack idol was proving to be a competent leader, we would acknowledge same.

A bit touchy because, instead, the orange buffoon is being revealed as an incompetent fraud and conman who can't govern his way out of a paper bag???

Enjoy defending this trainwreck.

What is going on in Hollywood is not even close to how things were in 1930s Nazi Germany. In 1930s Nazi Germany people died because they were Jewish. In 2017 Hollywood the worse that can happen to Tim Allen is that he will get his feelings hurt, or he will miss out on a few jobs. No one is going into Tim Allen's house and taking him, his family, and his belongings out of the house. Allen's family is not being shipped off to a death camp. Allen is not being shipped of to a labor camp and worked and starved to death.

Anne Frank Center Blasts Tim Allen for ‘Deeply Offensive’ Nazi Germany Comment: ‘Have You Lost Your Mind?’

The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect demanded an apology from actor Tim Allen after he compared life for Hollywood conservatives to living in "'30s Germany."

That era, of course, was when Adolf Hilter rose to power and the Nazis began their campaign of mass extermination of Jews and many others they deemed undesirable. The Anne Frank Center called Allen's comparison "deeply offensive" and said it "trivializes the horrors imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany."
