Elite Celebs Shill For MoveOn.Org, ObamaCare
by John Nolte–
The question none of these elites will ever answer is whether or not they’re willing to give up the Cadillac health benefits they currently enjoy through “evil” insurance companies, and accept the government-run ObamaCare they’re so eager to condemn the rest of us to.
When the ”public option” puts our non-Cadillac plans out of business, when the “public option” makes the penalty for not providing health insurance cheaper for employers than providing it… Those of us who aren’t millionaires, celebrity and otherwise, will all be on rationed ObamaCare.
Which, by the way, is the Master Plan. And I know this because my President told me so. And so did Barney Frank.
If Will Ferrell’s willing to join us on the “public option” he’s so excited for … great!
Until then, he and his rich, privileged ilk are nothing more than the newest generation of Useful Idiots lobbying to hurt our families and strip us of our freedoms.

I wish I recognized more of these "stars" so I would know to avoid their shows and movies. Will Farrell was already on my list.
Hey Will, did you know that competition would mean that ALL insurance companies could compete in ALL states? No? Could it be because you can't or won't educate yourself? Yeah, that's the ticket.
Yeah, I think I recognized 3 of them – and both Will Farrell and Donald Faison's latest movies kind of tanked at the box office, so I guess they needed the work. Oh yeah, wasnt the one guy in Heroes? I don't know since I don't watch it…
Stars? Ha ha ha ha. Now that's funny.
So since it's Funny or Die…if it's patently unfunny are they required to uphold the terms?
I have never heard so much drivel in my life. It is nice to know who is clueless in Hollywood. They are wrong on so many levels its like its a parody of itself. If they think Private Insurance companies will revoke a claim from a typo, what do they think the government will do? Thousands of claims are being rejected in the Cash for Clunkers fiasco and that is small potatoes in comparison. They are making fun of CEOs that have money and houses, etc. are they looking in a mirror or is it only politicians and Hollywood stars that get to have those luxuries? Competition, let's send them to Thomas Sowell's Econ 101. They have no clue.
Well, I've seen my last Will Ferrell movie in the theater, I hope being a mindless, ill-informed jackass in front of the world was worth it to him.
I like how the guy makes sure to remind us how they're being sarcastic at the end. Shows you what they really think about the intelligence level of the people this is aimed at.
I'm also not sure I'd say this was full of celebrities as Farrell and the guy from Heroes were the only ones I recognized.
John hits the nail on the head. Moore, Farrell, Pelosi et al WILL NOT be with us to wait 35 weeks for a urologist. If purchasing health care directly is made illegal (as has been done in Canada) the wealth will simply jet to Europe or central America or the Carribbean for excellent private care. I expect that hospital-resorts will be built in the BVI to cater to wealthy Americans receiving top-notch "off shore care" while the peasants suffer with the socialized care.
Well, they deserve it! They're PROGRESSIVES!
HA HA HA ROFLMFAO
Thanks for spelling it out for the lemmings John.It's scary that the libs blindly follow their messiah so easily with so little real information.W/e barry and Will Ferril says must be true.Will Ferril is cool,Will wouldn't lie to me.I love to watch a good movie,but I truly am done with deceitful smug hollywood leftists that will lie to the very people paying for their lavish lifestyle while corrupting and trying to pornify our youth.Not a big sacrifice.They only produce 1out 15 good movies anyway.Furthermore they shot themselves in the foot by politicizing every movie they make.Always gotta throw some propaganda message in there don't ya.Even the kids movies are littered with them.Get them while their young right?Boycott Hollywood.These idiots never get the message until it shows in their accounts.We gave them their lifestyle and eventually we can at least get their attention by stopping the gravy train.
As I posted elsewhere, of course these guys are all for socialist healthcare…if they get sick all they have to do is pull the "do you know who I am" to get to the top of the waiting list or they can hop into their Gulfstreams and get treated at a foreign clinic for their next drug overdose or herpes outbreak.
Maybe the Governemnt could take over the arts also….wait….what?

Hey, cut poor Ferrell some slack. He HAS to star in this propaganda. Since his last movie bombed, shilling for MoveOn.Org is the only chance he'll get to stand in front of a camera not pointed at him by his mom.
Yes!
Welcome to the club! I pride myself on never having paid money to see any of his dumb movies whether in theaters, DVD, or cable. He's simply the most unfunny funny person on the planet. He has company with many of his SNL buddies that have been making nonfunny comedies over the last 15 years.
I think I recognized two, maybe three of them. And their sarcasm makes them sound more elitist than helpful. After all, they make a lot of money doing what they do. Why shouldn't other people in other industries be able to make a living too?
What about all the people the insurance companies employ? And then all the companies that depend on the money that comes from those people conducting (evil) commerce in the community? And you pulled that 80% out of the same places you have your heads.
These sofa-king-we-todd-did (say it slowly) self-appointed elitists, in Hollyweird, are just as bad as the rump smooching, laughable, joke of a media that exists today. Really, we are laughing, but not for the reasons you think. Baw haw haw haw haw haw haw
I can understand Will Farrell doing this. He's a one note "comedian" and his career has pretty much run its course. Now, he's just trying to stay relevant and in the news by conforming to his liberal masters that may dangle potential work in front of him.
But Olivia Wilde? Say it ain't so, Olivia! Your stupidity and liberal conformism makes you kind of ugly!
Bad career move, Olivia.
Losers and Followers all!
He still does funnier stuff than Martin Lawrence, yet you don't speak out against THAT c**n…
Just like the lies you neo-cons so blindly follow…
Were they all represented by Rahm's brother?
Uhh, who's Olivia Wilde?
Gee whiz, that was funny!! Those jackasses at Moveon.org really know how to knock em dead. By the way, who in the hell were those people, besides Will Ferrell? And what is up with his hair? Yes, we all can rest assured that they and Mike Moore will enroll in the public option and wait like the rest of us for life saving treatment.
By the way, my little one had two surgeries in the last year, and I have had no problems whatsoever with the insurance companies. Nothing but praises from me when it comes to our health care institution, so let's destroy it and take on what they have in Zimbabwie or something.
"If my kid falls off his bike and breaks his leg, he should have to pay that money out of pocket…out of his allowance."
Bwah ha ha ha ha… XD
How's about this instead: "My kid should have to pay a higher tax to cover health care for millions of illegal aliens out of pocket…from his allowance."
Yeah, these HMO executives are extraordinarily greedy. But the correct thing to do is to FIRE THEM!!!…not use them as an excuse to create Big Government health care.
Well, I already detested Farrell, but Jon Hamm? I love Mad Men. It is the ONLY show I watch on television. Interesting how a man who made 20 million for that dog "Bewitched" is worried about Insurance Company execs making too much money. Irony, all of these people on the D-List and not getting $$$$.
Thanks D. Duke for reminding me of the stupid punch lines that masquerades as liberal thought. It's what made me give up being a Democrat long ago.
Mad Men is run by Matt Winer who put down Bush at his Emmy win…all a buch of left wing Obama whores.
I bet none none of these vacuous dimwits have ever lived with a user pays public option health non system. Giving up Ferrell movies is not exactly a hardship but I;ve now added him, Faison, etc. to my list of people I will not support with my ticket buying dollar. So far I haven't missed not seeing Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, Robert Redford and the rest of the Hollywood rodent pack one iota . However, as their careers sink and their movies fail maybe they should wake up and smell the Kool Aid they are drinking and realise the warm inner glow they feel by being Obamarama's ho's does have repercussions.
When it comes to humor, Funny or Die is mostly just Die.
Sorry Will, I missed you in "Land of the Lost"………………………………………………….I see your still living there though…………..You idiot. Go make another money losing crappy movie, it's the only thing your good at……..Loser.
Hey, Will, the next 10 mil you "earn" as an actor would go a long, long way paying for some folks with no health insurance. That 10 mil would cover about 300 hundred "families" at 250.00$ per month for 12 months. How about it, cool cat? Think you can get it done?
Gee whiz, still more "artists" shilling for Barry's Agenda? How many conference calls were made anyway? What was SAG and/or others threatened with and/or promised, tax changes for movie and TV productions?
Same could be said about the heatlh care reform.
I mean…don't these knuckleheads know when it’s time to just shut up and mind their own business like the rest of us?
No one is going to their performances anymore, they lose money hand over fist and they’re, well, just stupid.
Not Over.
Based on the name of the site, I guess all these "stars" are dead, because it wasn't even remotely funny.
Will Sparrow? Wasn't he in Pirates of the Carribean?
I agree, when will the heartbreak end? I too am a Mad Men/ Jon Hamm fan. I'm not old enough to know this firsthand, but I've heard there was a time when celebrities didn't wear their politics on their sleeves, and thereby didn't repulse and offend half the population at every opportunity. I guess those halcyon days are long gone.
Obama, Will and Hollywood, on a routine expedition, the greatest disaster every known (govt. healthcare), high on the rapids, it plunged their tiny raft, 1000 feet below, to the Land of the Lost!!!!!!!
New lyrics: …where they met the evil Sleestacks – Barney, Harry and Nancy….in the Land of the Lost!!!!!!
These people are clueless idiots.
Lets see, they can make millions of dollars acting like they're someone else, but demonize people who are actually
creating jobs, and providing a service that helps folks.
Why do these brain dead, uninformed phonies continue to spout-off about things they clearly know nothing about?
Here's what you do Will, take about 95% of your money and give it away to the dregs that you like so much, then maybe I'll listen, till then STFU!
Who the hell are these people? Celebrities? Yeah, more like lower-scaleb-movie actors. The Farell wanker is the only one I even recognize. Then again, I don't watch much television and I haven't paid for a movie ticket since I went to see Roger Deakins' work in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
I was expecting Ferrell to say " Where's my Public Option, b*tch?"
Yes insurance companies are evil and the government is good. Now ask yourself this question… You go into work and there are two calls on your call sheet… one is from your insurance agent and the other is from the IRS. Which call gives you a sick feeling in your stomach?
"two calls on your call sheet"
Perfect. But you understand that these Movie St*ars don't actually have to check their own messages. They have very under-paid lackeys to answer the phone, make most of the daily decisions, pick up the laundry, pick up the dog poop, cover the cat poop, etc.
Why can't these liberals see the opportunity that is theirs for the taking. Instead of the public option, what we really need is the "People's Insurance Company". There's plenty of seed money in the rich liberal elite areas of this country to get this off the ground. Will Ferrell can start by selling his $40M palace (with the 10' high walls to keep the people he so cares about out of his way) and moving in to a $20M mansion (with a much more accommodating 8' wall). Since the Peoples Insurance company would pursue only minimalist profit goals while maximizing employee compensation and benefits and serving everyone without regard to need or expense, it will steamroll the current crop of insurance companies. I would like to be the first to sign up with such a noble enterprise. Think about it, this would be the first time ever where liberals would put their money (currently offshore) where their mouth is, other than those bastions of honesty and goodwill, ACORN and the ACLU.
Dear Will Ferrell –
When you stop making millions of dollars on crap movies like "Semi Pro," "Step Brothers," and "Blades of Glory" then I'll listen to you complain about CEO's making millions of dollars doing a real job.
Since the video was a farce they did not let facts get in their way to tell it like it is, NOT!
Oh, God, I wished somebody would give me some advanced warning on this. It wasn't until the 20 second mark that I realized that that was a mock ad.
Oh, wait, it said MoveOn on the tagline. Never mind…
No they don't know when to shut up…They're actors and as an actor i can tell you that without a doubt we love to hear ourselves talk. Our job includes research for roles and that research largely consists of whatever information will support the director's vision for the project. So because we do research, we think we know everything on that subject. (I kind of like to see all sides of the issues myself but that's because I'm fair minded–and being conservative helps! =) ) Then they open their pie holes and spew stuff they haven't thoroughly researched.
I'm going to take this as 'parody'. And not take it personally. These are hollywood types. If they studyed things instead of what the SAG tells them to think, they would change their minds.
As comedy, it stinks!
"Shut up and sing"
When will these people realise we don't give a crap what they think.
Been asking that same question for some time…. funny how every Jen I know in the suburban Cincy is bright and funny, that wonder if you are one of them
.
Now why did you have to ruin my day with that vid?…..I blame myself really. I could have avoided it but nooooooI had to click on it. Now I get to steel myself and press onward to a rehearsal where I will be surrounded by Will Farrell wannabe's (if you can imagine that!) who sit around and talk about how stupid conservatives are for not listening to "both sides!" One of these days I'll be coming out of the closet. Meanwhile I have to finish this show. Pray for me will ya?
[...] People on the Motion Picture Health Insurance Plan, and throw-aways. [...]
Will those jerks be stuck with government run heath care like us. Sure they will just like congress..
And you're not missing anything, believe me. I gave three years of my life to that show (well, to watching it, anyway), and it got so out of control last season there's just no hope anymore.
No, it doesn't make her any less hot, just kind of stupid.
Are you criticizing Martin Lawrence? Careful, that makes you a racist.
Thanks for your thought provoking reply.
For over 30 years I worked as a highly paid, professional commercial photographer all over the world. Mostly in Europe during the 80's and 90's.
Most of my contemporaries where folks on the left, (the so-called self proclaimed “Artists”, damn I hated that mind set).
So I learned all about how they think, act and procreate.
You're right, they truly think they know it all, and will talk sh!t to you day and night if you let them.
I chose not to let them.
I don’t think they like me anymore. Oh well.
Not Over.
You know, whenever I need advice on an important political issue, I always say to myself "Self, what would an actor do? What are their deep thought on these momentous concepts?" I first started doing this in the seventies, when I looked to Jane Fonda for information on nuclear power.
There was a veritable boom of Jens here in the early 70's. In the grade school I attended, there were seven of us in one class. You can hardly swing a cat here without hitting one. ☺
I think they polled 10 people at a Whole Foods store. 8 said they support the public option, 2 were opposed, and both dissenters were promptly banished from the store until they came up with the correct answer.
Do you do headshots? =) I get to leave in an hour and fifteen minutes to "enjoy" more brilliant conversation and insight whilst rehearsing a post-Barack-as-President play where all is harmony and no one believe's in anything solid anymore. Hegemony has been reached. Everything is grey and the earth is queen. Next time I am asked to be a part of a friend's new play, I'm going to read the thing first. (Gee. For a smart woman I can sure be dumb sometimes.)
You're right. Not Over.
Good daddy. See the comment after yours. That was actually meant for you. I need more sleep!
These people are just some more useful idiots.
Well, I am old enough, and It was halcyon days compared to now. I remember in the late 80's-early 90's when this stuff really started ginning up with all those Bad-Aide, Farm-Aide, etc concerts. It seemed to bloom from there.
I always go back to Sarah Jessica Parker who said during one of the past 3 presidential elections, that her aunt wouldn't be able to get healthcare if George Bush were reelected. Didn't occur to her that she has an inflated 7 figure salary and she could pay for her auntie's medical bills. It's proven that liberals don't give squat to charities, unless it involves a tree or a snail darter (and even then they want to steal from tax payers), but want mother government to steal and give away your money.
Communists only oppose OTHER people making money.
Hey geniuses… Insurance companies that DON'T make money can't hire employees or provide benefits to their subscribers.
And Farrell — I appreciate my health insurance, which helps keep me and my family in optimal health. Unlike your inane drivel, which just further dumbs down society.
I'm **this** close to completely boycotting everything out of Hollyweird.
If we were still kids at school…. these jerks would be getting a recess butt kicking… "PLAYGROUND RULES 101"
2 minutes and 20 seconds of my life I'm never getting back. Yikes! But why you, John Hamm, wwhhhyyy?!?!?!?!
They were probably taunted to death by the hygiene-challenged liberals.
It is just a lie, like so much other stuff that comes out of their mouths.
Jon Hamm has just become another Hollywood bimbo…
I will still enjoy oogling his body while laughing at his brain.
Hey, if Will's career continues on it's current pace he may have to join the government plan. The actors that don't have a string of hits won't be making the big bucks. If Will got 10M for "Land of the Lost" I'll bet that he sure as hell won't make anywhere close to that for his next. From what I've been reading even most stars are now at the mercy of producers much less a one trick pony like Farrell.
Ok, If the "arts community and entertainers" are for it, it MUST be BAD for flyover-land Americans that make our country WORK . It's easy to be a socialist when you have a couple of million in the bank and and a strong accountant and tax attorney.
Does anybody want to tell me where they came up with 80%? Also, does anyone really think if we go to national healthcare that rich actors would do the same plan? We already know that Congress and the President will not have the same plan. So the elite in our sociey now are stupid actors who make a living off imitating ex-presidents and male and female members of congress who can't make it in the real world and bring nothing of value to it.Wow, I am sure excited about that future!! I was hoping Will Farrell would jump in, he's just so much smarter than the rest of us!
Well, guess I don't need to watch Heroes or Scrubs anymore. Then again, Heroes was already off the list for homosexual propaganda. Why can't they make it more like season one, when it was good?
I'm all for investing in insurance companies. Then I can use the money to–gasp!–pay for my own health insurance!
On top of that, do the math on what Cash for Clunkers cost, versus what it "saved" us. Health care is crazy expensive–it'll only get worse once it's subsidized.
http://www.atr.org/presidential-math-cash-clunker... This website has the numbers on Cash for Clunkers. Spend 3 billion, save 375 million. Makes sense, right?
Sign a contract stating that you will give up your SAG benefits, then make a video. Until then, shut up.
It's easier than actually doing a poll, or even Googling the top five polls and averaging them out.
And I assume that all of those people are now self-insured. If they do not wish to purchase the product those private businesses are selling, they are certainly free not to. They neglect to note that a major reason for the cost of medical care is that neither buyer or seller has any relation to the PAYER. But lets all look around like Willie Sutton, and steal from where the money is.
even the most positive tales of the Canadian system that I've heard, that is EXACTLY how their system works.
It's all social connections, your status, who you know. If you're Joe-On-The-Street, you wait 6 months for your MRI.
I'm still trying to connect the dots between "insurance execs make too much money" and "give more control over to the government".
The only entity you can be TOTALLY sure WILL mess things up MORE is the government. Name one problem the government has solved. Poverty? Drugs? Education? Energy?…… anyone?
Execs make too much? Medical costs too high? Reduce government's role. Open up competition to all 50 states. Get people more involved in haggling their own bills. Amazing how prices drop when people are involved themselves…
I knew there was a reason I never liked Will Ferrell.
That could be a problem. I don't know who most of them are!
The Government could never foster competition. If it competed on the same playing field, they would go broke, i.e. USPS (2bil loss a qrtr), Medicare and SSN (both bankrupt and is on the verge of collapse). The only way for their bloated, fraud ridden, inefficient programs to survive is to raise taxes, cut benefits and limit access. Is this what we want for health care? Otherwise, they will bankrupt the insurance companies because the gov't has an printing press. they don't have to make a profit or pay their bills and employees from their revenue. There is no middle ground. Competition would be fostered if the gov't let them compete with each other across state lines like all of the other insur companies. Life and auto insurance got much cheaper sine you can get them anywhere.
I had forgotten about that. Screw em, then. I can go another 10 yrs without watching tv dreck.
Yes, they have no clue that a lot of IRAs, 401ks and other investments and retirees get their income from the profits of insurance companies. None of these bozos ever ran a business or met a payroll. They get paid from the magical Hollywood money machine and have no clue where it comes from. If it were possible, I'd love to get every non-communist American to just stop going to movies and watch TV and then see how these people would support themselves. The problem is, too many people like us would suffer first, i.e. small business owners that cater, deliver, chaffeur, etc.
Trying to help people! Those bastards!
The putrid stench passed off as "Law Enforcement" enables this swill.
Oh look! Its the shiny movie stars. *snaps her gum*
I think Will Ferrell should start a NFP and call it "Liberals for indolent behavior" or LIB. Mr. Ferrell can make the first donation of 60 million dollars, which also just happens to be his salary from his last four movie's. LIB can then go out a solicit donations from all the multi-million dollar Hollywood talent and they can pay for FREE health care. While we're at it, why doesn't The Bill and Malinda Gates foundation throw in a couple of their billions, because we know there're good for it and why don't they get their old ass friend Mr. Buffett, because we know he's really good for it. In fact why does anyone in Hollywood even take a salary? If they feel so strong about free health care, free cars, free food, free education, free gas, free clothes, free cell phones, free houses, free t.v.'s( plasma of course), free pets, free whatever the indolent in this country wants, they should foot the bill. I can visualize the new PSA's right now on NBC. If they follow the Obama slogan of " yes we can" LIB could have a multi-billion dollar fund to pay for all the indolent behavior money can buy.
I'm claiming "dibs" as of now; I have first priority to move my family into Will Ferrell's mansion, since he is personally lobbying for policies which will render me unable to feed my family. Remember the slogan, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need?" I claim first access to Will Ferrell's ability, you all can find your own host.
We can move in next week, what do you say, Will? Three bedrooms and two bath rooms should suffice for our needs. We're flexible, to a degree, on access to the pool and spa.
Ivan
Great commercial….the fear of public option is a complete hoax. Smart companies and even smarter insurance companies will find ways to keep their customers. As a veteran of the U.S. military, I have a form of government insurance and guess what? I pay for the service. Just because the government puts something out doesn't make everyone want it. People buy BMWs and other cars because that's what they want. Businesses make money by studying the market segment and targeting those consumers they want. The public plan is for those people who can't afford insurance not for those with Cadallac plans. What it will do is introduce competition. Fear of competition makes a business weaker not stronger and any one who knows business knows they have to compete.
I hope you aren't claiming Will Ferrell's "acting" "ability".
The banks got bailed out and turned around to help the consumers? False. Here's something to consider about lack of competition and fear of competition. Nike makes its shoes overseas because of cheaper labor and thereby passing the savings on to who? The closed the factories, got cheaper shoes, cheaper labor and still sell high. The car companies didn't want to compete and gave up massisve parts of the market to overseas companies. So its only a matter of time before a company overseas starts to sell better insurance policies because they are better managed. Those companies will be subsidized by foreign governments to cover to compete against American Insurance companies that don't want government involvment. Toyota has been susidized by its government and they are whooping but and taking names. Its only a matter of time before the insurance companies get theirs!
Umm…what's even funnier is the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker is, what, in her 40s? Thus her aunt is probably at least 20 years older than that, so let's say 60s. Let's say she qualifies for Medicare or maybe even has it. Now we know that healthcare will be provided by raising taxes and cutting Medicare, thus her care may be cut by being on Medicare. Plus, she is older and not a priority as far as medicine goes (since rationing DOES occur) thus she may experience mediocre care that way.
I agree with you. SJP can fork up her own money to pay for it. Better yet, how about EVERYBODY who voted for or thought the stimulus was a good idea can pay for that too.
B.S., your entire post is B.S.!! I am a small business owner, so I know that competition makes all players stronger. This is why, contrary to the myth spun by the Left, big business is in the pockets of the Democrats; big business doesn't like losing market share to "upstarts".
Fair competition, by definition, EXCLUDES competing with the federal government who, in case it escapes your notice, doesn't need to turn a profit because IT PRINTS THE MONEY, your moron! BTW, have you ever wondered why the US Postal Service, by legislative fiat, doesn't compete with UPS or FedEx? The answer is, because the USPS cannot compete!!!
B.S., your name is appropriate!!
Ivan
In sampling some of these posts, it occurs to me that those rich liberals who are gung-ho for this class warfare posture should be very careful; there is only so much of THEM to go around. I still lay claim to Will Ferrell's largeness!
Ivan
Everybody wants everything for FREE nowadays.
I was sitting in my college class and literally 90% of the students in my class said it was wrong for universities to charge tuition…huh? It was so pathetic. If there is a service to be provided, then it must be paid for. Nothing is free. Healthcare will be paid through higher taxes and cuts to Medicare.
Here's how the discussion goes:
Should everyone have access to healthcare?
Answer: They already do. Some people may not be able to afford healthcare but it isn't illegal to anybody. Now, not everybody is able to afford a BMW or a Mercedes, but if the market was flooded with BMW's the prices would come down, thus let's flood the market with healthcare. First of all, let people buy the same plans the Senators, the President, and Representatives are on. That would open up the market. How about incentives for new business' to open up? Sound good? I believe so.
I have no problem with people profiting from healthcare. People also profit off dead people. You wanna bury or cremate your relative? Pay for it. Should we nationalize burials and cemetery services too? We profit off selling cute little puppies as well. Should we nationalize that?
Plus, even with socialized healthcare PEOPLE ARE STILL PROFITING. Those people? POLITICIANS.
Celebs, stick to acting or whatever it is that you do. I don't want to hear your opinions, not because I don't share them, but because you can't articulate well without throwing temper tantrums at those damn racist tea-partiers. Oh, and because your policies have been proven to fail many, many times.
T-Rav, D Duke is a TROLL!!! Do NOT feed the TROLLS!
Ivan
Sorry Will ….you peaked at Elf. No one cares what you say.
Yes, "bright and funny", I concur.
Ivan
…in the most flattering sense.
Ivan
Clearly if a celebrity is willing to take a stand on a issue that definitely would impact their "taxes" they've taken a stand not many on this web site can match. I'm sure Will Ferrell pays more taxes than me. Warren Buffet pays more, the President pays more and his return is public. So the complaining is coming from that segment that thinks that they're losing something. Nothing is free; it seems that the largest complaints are coming from people who pay way less taxes. It's coming from people who aren't the ones with Cadallac plans. Who on this website has a cadallac plan? The people with the most too loose are the ones doing the commercials. Usually it's the rich dudes on the right who don't want to pay. When poor people get misled things usually go bad for everyone. Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Lou Dobbs, and especially Rush Limbaugh are rich. Richer than everyone trying to protect their pay. Those dudes make money by peddling fear to those less fortunate than themselves. A rich guy tells you to leave the rich guys along and along the way they peddle their books so they can make more money. Fear is powerful! The biggest fear monger of all was Hitler.
Hitler's public plan was annihilation…..I don't think he cared about a public option and he clearly wasn't socialist
Ivan,
Clearly you're the Republican on here. Let me see, you type larger because you think it helps to spread electronic emotions. You insult because the art of conversation is wasted. Fair competition includes all sectors to include government. What is at the heart of this debate is economics and class warfare. Name calling defintely settles the issue and makes your point clear.
I was totally opposed to ObamaCare, but after seeing that ad I'm a full-throated supporter I tell ya!
Will Ferrell?
WOW! I'm awed! He just sold me……………….
Many conservatives accuse Hitler of being a leftist, on the grounds that his party was named "National Socialist." But socialism requires worker ownership and control of the means of production. In Nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state. True socialism does not advocate such economic dictatorship — it can only be democratic. Hitler's other political beliefs place him almost always on the far right. He advocated racism over racial tolerance, eugenics over freedom of reproduction, merit over equality, competition over cooperation, power politics and militarism over pacifism, dictatorship over democracy, capitalism over Marxism, realism over idealism, nationalism over internationalism, exclusiveness over inclusiveness, common sense over theory or science, pragmatism over principle, and even held friendly relations with the Church, even though he was an atheist
"80% of the American public supports the public option"
Now just how did they come up with that number? I'm not sure if it's stupidity or just plain lies.
No Jon, just my "rights" to part of his "crib".

I have spoken to plenty of people against this plan who aren't rolling in dough and live lower middle class. They are worried that the government will be calling the shots on their medical care…because the government will be calling the shots on their healthcare. The public option keeping private option honest is a load of crap because the public option can run huge deficits for decades, undercut private insurance, break any rule that they make private companies follow and have it artificial propped by the taxpayer . Fact is the government is already running healthcare in this country and paying for half of it.
everytime I read or hear one of these lefty lemmings, it reminds me of the scene in "The Waterboy" when the qb is teasing Adam Sandler during practice – "Hey, moron! Hey! Moron! Duh! L-L-Look at me. I'm th-th-the liberal troll. Duh! I got a wooden spoon! Duh! "
I'd come up with a better reply, but I have to get to my neo-con brainwashing seminar. I'm not even Jewish. Tonight we're supposed to get whistling decoder rings.
Dr. Sowell said it's not how much executives make, it's how much the shareholders are willing to pay them.
For a company responsible for 10s of billions of dollars it's nothing to offer 10s of millions of dollars to find someone with the expertise to manage it.
These psycho-babble useful celebrity idiots don't realize it's the shareholders "making billions of dollars" and if they would educate their dumbass audience then the audience, too, could be making their share of the billions of dollars just by investing in the "evil corporations."
Found you, ha.
Yes, did it all head shots for actors, actresses, male models and the girl ones too. High fashion and people in character shots too.
It paid for allot of the classic cars of mine at the time.
I even didn't take on some assignments because I didn't have the heart to take money from people that were obviously talentless and had no hope of succeeding.
Sometimes their dreams are just their’s you know.
Not Over.
Thanks. I was trying to remember where I saw her before – House was only good for a season or two, anyway. I stopped watching far before she ever appeared on it.
Yeah I know. I think that's why anyone who's going to attempt the business should go to an acting school of some kind before taking the plunge. They are a good "sifting" process. You find out just how much you know, if there's anything in you, what your chances are, and if the school is really good at showing the arduous side of the business, whether or not you have the desire to pursue the life. I came out of school knowing my strengths and weakness with the assurance that it was what i wanted to do because I'd made it through the "gauntlet". Not a gauntlet like you went through in the Marines, or I went through at the Police Academy but a gauntlet anyway. Maybe hazing is a better word!!
I'm glad that God gave acting talent to reasonable and compassionate people so they might influence society positively through their natural authority.
If I were President……….
Using eminent domain I would confiscate all the homes of the liberal airheads in Hollywood and turn them into homeless shelters. Their bank accounts would be frozen and seized and the proceeds would go towards funding all the leftwing bullshyt they voted for that the hard working taxpayer was forced to throw away their money on. Then I would house these leftwing martyrs in a rundown hostile with one bathroom on Skid Row where they can live among the downtrodden they claim to care about.
If they want socialism I'd be happy to give it to them and just them.

Ah yes….smug condescension from the turd bowl that is Hollywood. When I see these insipid court jesters attempt original thought I cant help but feel a little sorry for them. I'm all for a little satire but that video is just wet fart in an elevator. Oh well, half of those people are one bad review away from Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.
I beg to differ. Hitler was socialist (a lefty) he wanted a strong centralized government and did want to be the father of his people. Like a good little, funny mustached lefty. Liberals have painted him as a righty, but his philosophy was socialism. The lefties have cornered the market in killing off their people. Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Castro. I guess it's how they saved on health care. So keep up with the propaganda.
Yeah, Will, how much are you going to write the check for and send to the Treasury to help "pay" for all of these new benefits. You actually believed the deficit neutral part? What about that cut Medicare fraud part — that will save $500 Billion a year. Didn't you figure out that OBAMA CAN DO THAT NOW and save the 500B — why aren't you asking why not Mr Dictator? Because it is NOT TRUE.
I didn't hear you say you were going to lead by example and write a $3,000,000 check to cover the tax increase that will be on your share. I'll bet you'll become an Australian faster than Obama can say "Tax em". Oh, I forgot….your movies suck now!!!!!! You're just another washed up liberal has-been.

Here's the sick part, Americans will still spend their food money on elite celeb entertainment.
If you stop buying Kingdom Hollywood's crap they won't have the financial resources to destroy you.
What will it take for Americans to cure themselves of their entertainment addiction?
I said it slowly. Then I laughed quickly and very loud.
Nicely crafted.
Isn't it interesting that the people who think HMO's are the most evil thing ever are willing to sign on to one run by the government?
So Mr Ferrell. How's the career going these days?
(But I cannot bring myself to stop watching "Mad Men".)
Agreed. I had three problems with the video.
1. I only recognized Will Ferrell, the guy from Reno911 and the Asian guy from Heroes. (Note: I have never watched either of those programs.)
2. Coming from Funny or Die, it was certainly not funny.
3. The made up statistic of 80% of Americans support a public option. Source please!
Here's the latest numbers from Rasmussen:
56% are opposed to Obamacare.
<a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/po…” target=”_blank”>http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/po…
First of all there isn't real competition in health insurance now. If there were – market forces would correct the situation in ways similar to other types of insurance. I think 90% of the problems with cost and all the red tape would be solved if companies really had to compete.
A public option would not be competition because they would have the unfair advantage of not having to worry about making money to pay people and stay in business – they would only have to milk taxpayers when they needed money.
It's not really that hard of a concept to understand.
Seeing this just solidifies my confidence in our decision to get rid of our television. What a pack of lies. I am growing less and less interested in what the MSM peddles as "entertainment", "news", and "truth".
Nice try. You copied and pasted the above from a loony lefty Steve Kanga. Hitler was a lefty.

[...] John Nolte for Big Hollywood slaps these liberal idiots good here: The question none of these elites will ever answer is whether or not they’re willing to give up the Cadillac health benefits they currently enjoy through “evil” insurance companies, and accept the government-run ObamaCare they’re so eager to condemn the rest of us to.

[...] Celebrities Doing What They Do Best: Acting Stupid About Politics [...]
Sweet…a girl that likes to swing cats.
I want to comment on the "Autism Speaks" story on the Big Hollywood billboad on top of the page;this story also involves self advertising by uninfromed actors.
I listen to talk radio all day and hear the Autism Speaks advertising –at least evey half hour. The major thrust of the message asserts that there is a strong chance, if you have a child, the child will be autistic. Are their statistics correct? I don't know, but I would bet the farm that htis group ,Autism Speaks, are really a Green entity and their interest is not in helping families impacted by autism, their interest is population control.
She plays a doctor nicknamed "13" on the show House. Kal Penn was also a doctor before he gave it up to work for "the One".
Will Ferrell? Elite celeb? LMFAO!
Hollywood is so stupid….. Don't they know that under Obama they will actually lose more money…. These people are so backwards……
And how much of HIS multi-millions is Mush Limpballs contributing to the uninsured (not counting what he "contributes" to drug companies via doctor-shopping), dingle?
so WHY do you obsess over everything they do like a little b*tch?
Hate him all you want, but learn how to spell his friggin' name already- unless your clouded mind think it's Colin Farrell somehow…
Because even on his worst day he's funnier than you, Mr. Lawrence? Go put on a dress and a fatsuit again, that's all you're good for!
Tell me about it; Mush Limpballs, Glenn Bunk, Nancy (dis)Grace, and Vicboria Jackson are all "entertainers" (well, the last one USED to be, anyway), so WHEN will they go away already???
don't all of these idiots already get generous benefits from their SAG health insurance program? i wonder how smug they'll be when the SAG health insurance program is disbanded and all health care is administered by healthcare bureaucrats in Washington DC.

Now would be a great time to boycott Hollywood. We can spend our last remaining dollars elsewhere. At least boycott Hollywood for Hollywood's sake! Else do it for your family and your country.
There's nothing like a patronizing millionaire to give you a good chuckle.
They need to make millions in profits to cover all the con artists that file false claims and steel from them too. How much does Will Farrell Make? I bet he makes more than most CEOs and he doesn't do a damn thing for anyone. Shut up and keep pretending. The one hottie is "13" from House. I can't stop watching that show but the rest are off my list.
How many of these celebs and celebs, agents, etc pay their workers are real wage? How many provide health care for ALL their workers…THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING REPORT….DOES EVERYONE AT WILL'S COMPANY GET HEALTH CARE COVERAGE????
Did Rush say he supported you god Obama health bill? ..good grief try actually saying something that makes sense you dimwit
So why do you troll on this site like a little weasel?
Boy you don't let go of it do you, something of a a one note. By the way from our previous talk, you talk big about the military and law enforcement being duty bound to refuse orders just wondering were you ever either or you just the usual tough guy telling other people to do something you would never do?
No when will you the clueless troll go away? I think it's time for your kool aid break
As I've stated before here's my plan have Obama place a tax on all movie tickets sold in the country and put a tax on any movie or tv show filmed outside of the country (isn't strange how Hollywood likes to get around it's own union crews and film outside the country to save a buck?) this tax can only be used for the new national health care system. I'm sure all the people in this video and Hollywood will be for it because it's for the greater good.
It is about self-congratulation, not helping, obviously. Why else would they support policies that will over time make most Americans worse off, but not affect them?
All of you are just down on Will Ferrell because he´s black!
You are just down on Will Ferrell because he´s black!
Let me think about this Insurance companies make a profit by offering a service. How much profit is too much?? How much does Will make per movie? Millions??? while police, firefighters, soldiers and the barista making his coffee don't make as much as he does in 1 minute of screen time in any of his movies. I think his salary is obscene especially compared to the working man. Will when you moderate your obscene salary maybe then you could justifiably question someone elses profits.
i couldnt even stand to watch the whole thing….. who were most of those people anyway?
I have never understood why the average person believes that celebrities, especially actors have any insight into public issues. Why would anyone listen and take at face value an opinion from someone whose life work is lying for a living. Think about it – actors are very good, very well paid liars. Their job is to lie that they are someone other than themselves, albeit briefly but their ability to do so readily should say something about their character (not the one they are pretending to be but their moral character).
Will Ferrell, pimping for Obama……….
I don't even know what to say. This video is disturbing on so many levels. I'm sure "nasty" CEO's of insurance companies at least have more education and COMMON SENSE than these actors. Not to mention, they work harder more days of the year, doing work that's nowhere near as fun as these actors' work, and some of these actors probably make more on one movie than CEOs and Execs do in a year. How about we turn socialist solely on all of the stupid actors and redistribute their wealth. Then we won't even have to have a public healthcare system.
HAHA check out the remake that was made. These poor celebs can't even afford health care off their $20 million a movie salary! We need to SAVE THE CELEBS!

Let me make sure I get this right.
I am supposed to support Obama's health care plan because Will Ferrell tells me to? Just checking before I swill this nice little glass of Kool-aid Hollywood just sent me.
Hollywood, try this one on for size: You are no longer relevant.
Hey…pretty soon anyone will be able to afford Will Farrell. For a B-day party or some special occasion (or for NO reason at all). Seriously. He'll be real cheap.
You have to admit that he has some funny moments. I just hate him when he talks outside a script giving his own commentary.
I don't think criticizing Martin Lawrence makes D Duke a racist. Calling him a "c**n" might though.
H8rade, your use of the moral equivalence tactic exposes you as an idiot.
Wow… I can't wait to boycott Will Ferrel and all the other idiots in this "PSA". (yeah, PSA… like what they're doing is a public service. More like kissing their master's a**es). Not only are they wrong, but they say 80% of Americans WANT the public plan… What do you know!!! Democrats, er uh, Socialist wanna-be's saying anything they can to win. What a shock. (yawn) My God, when are the American people going to stop listening to these ignorant morons? THEY'RE ACTORS!!! They don't know their ass from their elbow unless a director shows them! Can't wait to see the video with Will Ferrel being told which is which! What an IGNORANT bunch of SOB's. Unbelievable. they have enough money to get whatever they want, and I wonder how many of them had health insurance worries while they were nothing? I will do everything I can to get people to stop watching all the people in that video. It's NOT funny, it's pathetic. The more you speak the more we see you have NO IDEA.
I never thought she was that good looking. She looks like she sucked on a lemon… or something will ferrel has that's even smaller.
Holy Cow! He made $20 Million for Bewitched!?!?! Wow… Hollywoody's (emphasis on "woody" for the excitement they have when seeing something potentially socialist ocurring) will never cease to amaze me
right on. there are so many things wrong with this little clip, its impossible for it to be funny. the concept is great, but their "facts" are way off…. 80% of america supports a public option? riiiight. most of the people i know are pretty sick and tired of paying for everyone else's stuff, in addition to their own stuff.
Another oxegen theif unveiled ! what an assss! oh no a typo this will never get posted now .
I totally agree with them. We should protect the insurance companies and the large profits they make. They're right, Obama care is bad., not for the reasons they talked about, but if they convince one person (and I'm a person), not to support Obama Care, their job is done.
Now, don't go away mad, just go away.
No matter how the elite celebs shill for obamacare, no one is buying it.
