Airplane! and The Naked Gun director David Zucker says he feels Hollywood forces him to hide his conservative ways: You sort of feel like you have to hide it. When you meet, you give each other a secret look, ‘Are you a Republican, too?’ It’s the new gay.” Zucker’s next project is An American Carol, which takes many shots at Michael Moore and other liberal activists. It looks awful. [UPI]
“The New Gay”?!

Fuck you, Zucker. “The new gay”. Yeah, right! The poor conservatives are SOOOOO mistreated and discriminated against. Gee, all those laws passed against conservative Republicans, preventing them from marrying and such. Oh, hamboogers! (to quote Butters from “South Park”). Boo fucking hoo. I suppose next Zucker will be saying how conservatives suffer as much as the blacks who were lynched in the south. Hey, Zucker! You want to know why Republicans are so despised? It’s because you raped our country, you stupid-ass right-wing mother-fucker!!!! Conservatives are not “the new gay” – they are the same old GOP.
CitizenGeek
Nicely put, Dominic. I couldn’t have put it better myself.
As for An American Carol. That looks fucking awful. Conservatives should just leave comedy to those people who have personalities and souls (liberals).

Naturally that story would come from UPI the fully owned and operated Moonie news “serviceâ€

This movie will be a total FLOP.

Conservative? He flogs potty humor with with highly indecent overtones and he is a poor steadfast conservative. Thats BS.

The sick thing about Zucker’s comparison is that it shows Republicans think that both being gay and being Republicans are bad things that need to be kept hidden. Weird-y.

I was unaware that Michael Moore was timely fodder for satire. I’m not sure anyone really cares, aside from Zucker and his merry band of conservative wackjobs. I’m sorry to see, though, that Kelsey Grammer’s one of ’em…I did so enjoy “Frasier”.

Would you like some cheese with that WHINE, David?

I saw an ad for An American Carol while watching either Gossip Girl or Heroes last night. I thought it was another shitty Date Movie/Epic Movie etc. crapfest. Probably is, just by different people.

haha, thanks for this. i love this guys’ films (pre-2k anyways). i was just wondering a couple days ago when his next one was coming out.

“it shows Republicans think that both being gay and being Republicans are bad things that need to be kept hidden.”
It doesn’t imply that they are “bad” things—just unpopular things. And in Hollywood it probably is something that needs to be kept under wraps.
If only conservatives were lynched or beaten to death in Hollywood, he might have a legitimate statement. If only…if only…
jack jett
maybe he confuses gay with being republican because he is confused about the two himself…or herself.
he is not just a repuke, he is an outspoken repuke. if he weren’t a repuke no one would have given him the money to make this pile of shit of a movie that he is getting ready to spew from his ass.
Berdie
Well, I guess Zucker’s concerns about “coming out” as a Republican are well justified by the comments on this post.
Frankly, the movie looks awful. But if takes a few digs at Michael Moore – the lying, propaganda-spewer, sack of shit that he is – that’s fine with me.
BobP
It’s not the new Gay, asshole. You don’t get murdered or beaten up because your Republican, although…maybe that’s not such a bad idea.
CHURCHILL-Y
How shameful and ironic that the same people who go around screaming discrimination, equality and in the case of the elite on both coasts enlightenment and progress are the same ones who engage in the most intolerant behavior against opposing views on this Nation. Daddy Lenin must be looking at them from below the fiery pit of hell he now inhabits with such pride!
Don’t worry Mr. Zucker those intolerant hypocrites will soon arrive at a little destination called humility courtesy of middle hardworking America come November.

Personally, I’m glad he outed himself. Now I can avoid spending another dime on his movies.
Look at all the money I save not seeing Mel Gibson movies!

Churchill-y sounds a little upset since Obama is on a landslide to the White House. Poor, McOld and the (hardly virgin) Sarah will have to rehearse their concession speeches as we prepare for the first Black President (sorry Bill) The poll numbers don’t lie as Barack is cruising well above the 50% threshold for Victory thanks to Bush-onomics. There’s always Margaret Thatcher in a house-dress, Churchill-y!!

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE’S TALKING ABOUT WHAT A STUPID STUPID ULTRA -STUPID COMPARISON. ONE CHOOSES TO BE A STUPID SELFISH PIG.
BEING QUEER IS NOT A CHOSE , YET A CHOICE TO BE A PERVERT. SOMEBODY SHOT HIM BEFORE HE TRIES THINKIING AGAIN.
M Shane
Michael Moore is far from being timely material for satire . He never will be, for the sane of the world. You might take note that the piggies have made different attempts at humor and , just klike the religious flybait , it all falls in the manure pile. They don’t have anything mentaly cojent to start with.

Did anyone see the trailer? It stars Dennis Hopkins and Kelsey Grammer! Yeah, all the kids want to rush out and rich senior citizens telling them how the world works. But as two recovering drug/alcohol addicts, they can certainly talk from their moral high ground…

Church-nazi, you really are pathetic. We all know that you are racist. As for this crap about “middle hardworking [sic] America” voting for Obama, give it up. Who are you to claim the right to pigeon-hold millions of Americans as automatically McCain supporters? I realize you aren’t that bright, but one would infer that since you post on a website, you would be able to read some of the available polling data that show Obama with a slight lead.
But Church-nazi fears the truth like a vampire sunlight and must hide from it.

Dear Blake the Schmuck,
The keyword is “slight”. I know a dimwit like you is unable to comprehend what I’m about to write but try to look slowly at the letters anyway.
Given how in the tank the media is in for Obama and given to what lenghts they are willing to go to get him elected it’s obvious that some people would rather chose to do away with any harassment from both the media and the Obamatron thugs by saying anything or not saying anything at all in which case those who have already made up their mind and won’t move from their position like african Ameicans and party hacks are the only ones whose numbers are going to show up and give him in the polls a “slight” lead. Although given all the trickery and bias the media has been engaging in I wouldn’t even trust the polls in these final days.
Read this carefully Schmuck, I personally have participated on a poll and I have lied about who I’m going to vote for. An aunt and cousin of mine in FL have been questioned also and in order to not been labeled as racist have lied also.
People just don’t want the headache and the harassment from the Obama thugs but once they enter that voting booth they’ll make their voices heard. (;

It is quite remarkable for the same people who call for someone to be shot for having views different than their own, or for referring to someone as “church hillbilly or whatever your stupid fucking name is” to preach tolerance. And see themselves as liberal. And intellectuals. What a complete hoax…maybe one day enough people will wake up and see it already.
