GOP TALKING POINT TO CELEBRITIES: SHUT UP AND SING (OR ACT)
THOSE WHO CANNOT WIN A DEBATE TRY TO SHUT THE DEBATE DOWN….
If you put aside civility, decency, American political traditions, and intellectual honesty, the right-wing harassment strategy makes quite a bit of sense. The corporate conservative overclass and their media interests have a financial stake in perpetuating their cult of conservatism. Formally and informally they organize conservative fanatics to create the appearance of widespread opposition. Conservatism has become an "industry." Most targeted celebrities have even bought into this flawed line of thinking and remain silent.
It is NOT the American Way.
We should ALL be empowered by the FIRST AMENDMENT.
Celebrities as citizens should NOT be silenced.
They should use their voice and celebrity to do good things and not give in to the tyranny of the minority and their crybully mentality.
