Garrison Keillor...Never cared for him, fake-assed folksy, smarmy, liberal cock-smack.

I would leave the room or change the channel anytime Matt's talking head was on TeeVee. But having said that, i dont believe half the crap that is getting slung at these guys. A friend of mine who was in a "minor position of power" at one time said HE got propositioned all the time by the opposite sex. He just had better sense than to accept and Go Pro cameras had not been invented yet.

True but Keillor is neither. He is a socialist and a pal of the likes of Al Franken and a member of the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party. All he's ever done is run his meat licker.

In 2008, Keillor created a controversy in St. Paul when he filed a lawsuit against his neighbor's plan to build an addition on their home, citing his need for "light and air" and a view of "open space and beyond". Keillor's home is significantly larger than others in his neighborhood and it would still be significantly larger than his neighbor's with its planned addition.[42] Keillor came to an undisclosed settlement with his neighbor shortly after the story became public.[43]

Here's some of the BS your "Hero-Zero" has said publicly:

In May 2008, Keillor wrote a controversial article entitled “The Roar of Hollow Patriotism”, criticizing the “Rolling Thunder” parade in Washington D.C. on Memorial Day.[31] The “Rolling Thunder” parade is an event that honors and commemorates all United States veterans, and is sponsored by Rolling Thunder, Inc. – a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that participates in veterans charities and legislation lobbying for military veterans and personnel.[32] The article depicts the biker subculture with negative imagery. He describes the participating bikers as “fat men with ponytails on Harleys” and further depicts them as “grown men playing soldier, making a great hullaballoo without exposing themselves to danger, other than getting drunk and falling off a bike”.[31]

In 2006, after a visit to a United Methodist Church in Highland Park, TX, Keillor created a local controversy with his remarks about the event,[24] including the rhetorical suggestion of a connection between event attendees and supporters of torture and a statement creating an impression of political intimidation: “I walked in, was met by two burly security men … and within 10 minutes was told by three people that this was the Bushes’s church and that it would be better if I didn’t talk about politics.” The security detail is purportedly routine for the venue, and according to attendees Keillor did not interact with any audience members between his arrival and his lecture.[25] Prior to Keillor’s remarks, participants in the event had considered the visit to have been cordial and warm.[26]

Here are some excerpts of Keillor on Conservativism and Talk Radio:

The reason you find an army of right-wingers ratcheting on the radio and so few liberals is simple: Republicans are in need of affirmation, they don’t feel comfortable in America and they crave listening to people who think like them. Liberals actually enjoy living in a free society; tuning in to hear an echo is not our idea of a good time.

They are evil, lying, cynical bastards who are out to destroy the country I love and turn it into a banana republic, but hey, nobody’s perfect. And now that their man is re-elected and they have nice majorities in the House and Senate, they are hunters in search of diminishing prey.

Now you may still want to have Keillor's baby, but I've always seen him as the POS he is and will continue to be until he, hopefully, has the good sense to commit suicide, sooner rather than later.

Idol worship of celebrities is asinine and very unwise. We can all enjoy their works and creativity, but that's all we should do, more often than not the persona is in contrast to the person who created, or adopted it, .....the private side of celebrity is often dark sick and twisted, just as it is in this case.
 
Most musicians and other "entertainers" including sports "stars" out of their element, are terrible interviews and have nothing positive to contribute to society other than what they get paid to do.
 
He should have gotten a few numbers from the escorts that Tiger Woods used.

LOL I get it


Also, this is the same guy who was hostile to Corey Feldman during his interview trying to out other show biz perverts.... WONDER WHY
Click to expand...

Eh, I cant back you on this one.
I heard parts of that interview - Feldman is only SAYING he'll out those people after he raises TEN MILLION DOLLARS to make a movie?
Sorry, but it sounds more like a cash-grab by Feldman.

That all said - Im a fan of neither of those two.

As for Lauer - my day wasnt any different today than it was yesterday, day before, or day before that etc
 
To add to that, and not trying to make this a Feldman-bashing thread, but if Feldman really has something, then why hasnt he outed the people? Scared his career will be harmed? L O L
That ship has sailed!

Maybe just scared. You are talking about very powerful people or possibly even a non disclosure and he doesn't want to miss the paycheck.

Not a rant (nice 14yr old mall rat vernacular, by the way)
Then what's this?



Sure sounded like you're a fan.

It doesn't say that anywhere, just a statement of fact that some people's only contribution to the world is to dump on people who actually do stuff.
 
J R Green said:
It's still dumping.
Lot of stone throwing here and justifying it later.

That's the argument of a snowflake, even if it is a luke warm 2A snowflake.

If you don't like the guy, why are you taking up for his socialist ass?

Go take a Midol, drink some box wine, have a good cry and you'll feel much better.

How its stating a fact about human nature taking up for anyone? I have said nothing pro or con about any one listed on this thread. You on the other hand getting all bent out of shape because people don't hate the way you think they should. Who needs a Midol?
 
I am glad to say that I don't recognize the name "Matt Lauer" and probably wouldn't recognize his picture.

Too easy a target there.

I know, and yet no one took the bait. :confused:


Reading the rest of this thread I feel the urge to defend you. Maybe my wife slipped me the Midol. o_O

I agree, I didn't read it such that @J R Green was supporting Keillor, just using his situation as an example of "them" dropping like flies.
