Richard Dreyfuss: Liberal Celebrity And Hypocrite

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Newsbusters.org:

Last fall, Richard Dreyfuss launched a civics education program called the Dreyfuss Initiative that promised among other things to look at “a purposeful diverse variety of websites representing disparate political opinions… to foster a discussion related to the future of America.” But the Academy Award-winning actor apparently thinks civil political discourse includes left-wing radio hosts wishing for Dick Cheney’s death.


At a January 25 press conference at the National Press Club, CNSNews.com’s* Nicholas Ballasy asked Dreyfuss about comments that liberal MSNBC host Ed Schultz had made on his March 11, 2009 radio program wherein he wished that “enemy of the country” former Vice President Dick Cheney would be taken by God to “the Promised Land.”


“No, that’s not uncivil. That’s actually kind of a beautifully phrased way of saying something that could be uncivil,” Dreyfuss told Ballasy.


“Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that’s uncivil. I don’t care what the issue is and I don’t care who the people and the players are,” Dreyfuss added.


By that standard, one has to wonder if Dreyfuss would draw the line at Schultz wishing he could rip Dick Cheney’s heart out, as he did on his February 24 program last year, or if that’s merely just another “harsh” jab thrown in the “territorial freedom of political discussion.”
