Idea! Let's Spew Hate Towards One or All of THESE celebrities!

[L A Woman]

You know....celebs who actually do things that are worse than jumping on a couch; such as performing sexual acts with falafels, singing pro-war country songs and helping put an inept war monger in the White House. Just a thought! (although i know it's easier for dems to bash our own!)

[Dave Reynolds]

1. I'm sorry,

but huh?

[Orangepeel]

3. I think L A Woman must be a Tom Cruise fan

Although Tom is a Democrat who donates to liberal causes, he gets bashed a lot here in the lounge for various things (like being homophobic and criticizing new mothers for taking anti depressants).

[Dave Reynolds]

4. Yeah, I thought he was bashed for being a nutball,

and politics had nothing to do with it.

Imagine my chagrin.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. See, thing is, if you're a Democrat, you're exempt from mockery...

No matter how much of a wank you are.

[Dave Reynolds]

18. I never get the damn memos.

So solly.

I lack the required purity, I must throw myself in front of a bus.

But only if I can push Tom Cruise in front of me.....:o

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Come on dude, I'm not even a Democrat and I knew this!

[JohnKleeb]

20. So that means I am not exempt

Technically I am not a democrat.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Nope, we can mock the shit out of you without guilt.

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

25. bastards

If Cruise wasn't a narcisstic asshole I wouldn't mock him. It's that simple.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Bingo.

I'm open to mockery as well, actually, as a non-Democrat.

[JohnKleeb]

27. I would be one if my state had registration

but even so someone political identification doesn't exempt from mockery. To tell the truth before he started jumping on Oprah's couch and telling us that psychology was evil, I liked him and I stilll like his movies.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. I've always been fairly indifferent to him.

He's been in some of my favourite films, (Magnolia, Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut), but he's essentially become a self-parody. I'd rather not have to hear about every detail of his private life though.

[JohnKleeb]

31. I loved Rain Man not because of him per say though

Raymond is like me only I don't sound that bad........at least I hope not. 1970 Baltimore Orioles, Boog Powell, Brooks Robinson, ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Haven't seen Rain Man.

Maybe I should check it out.

[JohnKleeb]

35. I saw it in psychology which ironically is what Crazy T

hates and finds to be a fake science.

[ZombieNixon]

33. Yeah, but you're Canadian.

That's enough mockery material there, already. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

34. So how does it feel to be the Lounge's official emo kid, anyway?

:evilgrin:

:P

[ZombieNixon]

36. Like my hair's too short and I have too many orange shirts to fit the part

:P

[JohnKleeb]

38. and you';re not wearing the girl next door's jeans

Right?

[ZombieNixon]

39. Also true. My jeans aren't tight enough.

(Tight jeans bug me shitless)

And I have the wrong kind of shoes. Terrible emo kid, I am. I'm so ashamed. :silly:

[L A Woman]

43. again, not the point

let's say he's a wanker. ok. but there are a few wankers in the OP. why are there 500 cruise-bashing posts in the lounge every day and zero kirk cameron-bashing posts (as an example) or that little Barney Rubble Baldwin brother? talk about wankers!!!!!

[Dave Reynolds]

46. We take turns with them.

We are equal opportunity wanker-bashers.

Tom just happens to be more current, but your whole list has had their spin here, plus others I cannot remember.

Stick around, they will all come up again.

[ghostsofgiants]

52. Yeah, because NOBODY else EVER gets made fun of around here.

:eyes:

[L A Woman]

42. no, you misunderstand...

i acknowledge that he's rather weird and I too disagree with him on his opinion re: anti-depressants. i really have no opinion on his movies.

it's the venom i don't understand! he hardly deserves it - particularly in comparison to the above celebrities. and why on earth would you assume he's a homophobe? evidence, please?

[Left Is Write]

53. He deserves every bit of venom he gets for his unfounded, ignorant

remarks about women with PPD taking antidepressants.

[Orangepeel]

54. I have to admit that I don't know that he is literally *afraid* of gays

I do know that he is very afraid of being called gay and has, on more than one occasion, sued or threatened to sue someone for saying he is. Since the lawsuits have claimed that being called gay is defamatory, then, it is reasonable to conclude that his opinion of homosexuality is -- shall we say? -- less than positive.

Also, although he could be a "cafeteria scientologist" and NOT subscribe to the belief that homosexuality is perverted, I doubt it given how accepting he is of its other crackpot ideas.

As for the other people, they just aren't famous enough. Kirk Cameron is on Oprah? You wouldn't be able to count the negative threads.

By the way, welcome to DU, LA Woman (I'm just guessing you haven't been here long, since I saw someone else mention that you were new). :hi:

[DS1]

2. Or we could lock them in a canvas sack with Nancy Grace

and see which one comes out fed and sleepy

[Sannum]

5. Obviously you have not spent much time here...

They are destroyed here as well.

Did we offend a "FaNgUrL!!!!"?

[Left Is Write]

6. The pictured celebrities are denigrated a lot around here.

Especially O'Liely.

[L A Woman]

47. 500 times a day????

it's more the obsession that i find odd than anything else. there is a very strong mob mentality in the lounge. a lot of followers.

[Left Is Write]

51. Stick around. There'll be a new obsession before too long.

In the meantime, if it truly does bother you, use the hide thread feature. It's been my friend many a time.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. Trust me, we are not skimpy on hate for jackasses.

I don't dislike Tom Cruise because he's a "bad Democrat" or a "DLC'er"--I dislike him because he's gone off the deep end of psychopathy. Politics has nothing to do with Mr. Cruise.

[Ekirh]

8. Politics have nothing to do for it . . .

Cruise has done a lot lately to bring the hate upon himself. Sure he's a Dem. Dem's aren't excluded from the Bat Shit Crazy club.

[Sanity Claws]

9. Who the hell are they?

The only one I recognize is O'Liely.
They are celebrities in their minds only.

[Left Is Write]

11. From top to bottom...

Bobby Knight, Ted Nugent, Kirk Cameron, Bill O'Liely, Toby Keith

[smitty]

10. I don't have time for hate, it's debilitating.

[LeftyMom]

12. I know you're new

but billions of electrons have been cruelly turtured as we all type about just what asshats Ted Nugent and Toby Kieth are.

If you want to start in on them again though, feel free to start a thread, because either one is always good for a thread about just how much they suck as artists :rofl: and human beings.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

13. Happily, I don't know who any of them are.

[qnr]

14. Interesting, I didn't see this earlier, maybe I would have added my

thoughts here, rather than in a separate thread.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Sure! The more the merrier!

:hi: Except I have a better idea!! Let's post something and then run away!!!!! Yaaaaaaaay!!!! Wheeeeeeee!!!!

[Dave Reynolds]

21. Woohoo! Drive-by!

Fun fun fun from the City of Angels!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. OMG--Snark from MrsG?

:wow:

:rofl:

[Dave Reynolds]

28. But it was a kind, loving snark.

:bounce:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

30. Of course it was.

;)

:P

[qnr]

40. To be fair, there was more than an hour before the first reply :)

:hi:

[philosophie_en_rose]

16. Falafel looks blotchy. Mike Seaver has a "come hither" look.

:bounce:

[Ava]

24. you should have a *GRAPHIC PICS* warning

:puke:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

37. Bobby Knight is married to a lady my mom went to high school with...

They showed up at her reunion last year. Apparently, he's a really nice dude in person. :shrug: But I have no idea what he did.
Duckie

[no name no slogan]

44. He used to throw chairs a lot

during college basketball games if the refs made calls he didn't like. He's got a bit of a temper.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

45. Right, but hasn't he mellowed since going to Texas?

Don't they keep him reigned him a bit?
Duckie

[Allenberg]

41. I've always liked Bob Knight.

:shrug:

[L A Woman]

48. Oh me too

I love grown men who stomp their feet, throw chairs and punch other people in the nose. It's what Bush's America is all about.

But to be fair, he does take time to scratch his balls first.

[Darth_Kitten]

49. who are the first and last dudes?

:shrug: :)

[NNadir]

50. What'd Kirk do? Who is he, by the way.

[Orangepeel]

55. former teen heartthrob turned fundamentalist

Do you have any memory of an '80s sitcom called "Growing Pains" with Allen Thick? He was Thick's teenaged son. If memory serves, he was also in a movie called "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes." I think he was a robot.

I grew up in the '80s, so I have a small excuse for knowing this shit.

[NNadir]

56. I never saw the show. I stopped watching network TV in the 70's.
