The GOP and right wing blames "Hollywood" for America's ills.
They claim that "Hollywood's messages" are destroying the country.

But now that THEIR rhetoric is under the spot light ... they RUN like roaches when the light turns on.

Yes ... Rush, Sarah, Beck, Hannity ... I mean you. If Hollywood messages can be evil, then your hateful rhetoric sets the new standard.

You are all cowards. Using the insane to do what you could never do yourself.

6. They blame the "liberal media" for all ills, but their own words (apparently) have no impact

3. LOL!!! Who the hell pays any attention to Hollywood?
If the wingnuts are decrying Hollywood's "message", they're probably the only one paying attention.Movie ticket sales are down, label CD sales are down, etc. BigEntertainmentInc is a dying dinosaur.

Blaming Hollywood was Dan Quayle's job.
"Murphy Brown" was pregnant and single.

Before Potatoehead, it was Spiro Agnew's job.
Some other crook had it before him.

7. Except, of course, for Patricia Heaton, Bo Derek, Ron Silver, Chuck Norris, etc.
They're all A-OK.

8. Actually, I believe that Hollywood deserves some of the blame
Look at all of the top grossing movies that have way too much gratuitous violence in them.
