Actress Eva Longoria Trashes 'Dangerous' 'Extremists' Who Oppose Obama
Actress Eva Longoria appeared on Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live to trash the "dangerous" "extremist movement" that opposes Barack Obama. The Desperate Housewives star became just the latest celebrity to smear Tea Partiers.
Longoria didn't directly identify the group as the target of her anger. However, she made her point clear, fuming, "...[Obama] keeps getting beat up lately because there's such an extremist movement happening and it's a very dangerous."
[See video below. MP3 audio here.]
The actress continued, "For me, it's very dangerous because it's not the character of America. It's really under attack." She added that Obama has governed in a "state of emergency."
The TV star began by defending, "...I'm a big Obama supporter no matter what he's been through. He's been beaten up the past couple of years."
There seems to be an unusually similar style of venom coming out of Hollywood in the last few weeks.
On the September 23 Piers Morgan program, movie star Morgan Freeman spun the Tea Party as saying, "Screw the country. We're going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we're going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here." "It is a racist thing," he concluded.

The day before, on September 22 edition of the same show, actor Alan Cumming excoriated Tea Partiers, saying their fiscal issues only serve to cover up "a lot of real homophobia and racism.
While hosting the September 18 Emmy Awards, actress Jane Lynch mocked, "Yesterday my daughter had a tea party with her little friends and it was so cute. They complained about taxes, called Obama a communist and wondered how the Latina kid got in?"
A transcript of the September 28 Jimmy Kimmel Live exchange can be found below:

EVA LONGORIA: But you know what, it's a special privilege to meet our commander in chief.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Sure, yeah.
LONGORIA: And, you know, I'm a big Obama supporter no matter what he's been through. He's been beaten up the past couple of years.
KIMMEL: Did you tell him that?
LONGORIA: I did.
KIMMEL: And was he receptive?
LONGORIA: Well, he's been very receptive for me, because I'm a big advocate for Latino issues. And, so, he's been a big listener and he's done a lot of coalitions and a lot of round tables regarding what we want changed and-
KIMMEL: When you say he's a big listener, you're making fun of his ears?
LONGORIA No! No! You know, he keeps getting beat up lately because there's such an extremist movement happening and it's a very dangerous- For me, it's very dangerous because it's not the character of America. It's really under attack. And he's been governing in, like, a state of emergency since the time he went into office so we haven't really seen him do what he can do.
...
LONGORIA: What are you? A Democrat, Republican, independent? What? What's going on?
KIMMEL: I'm Italian-American. And German and Irish.
LONGORIA: And German and Irish. You're a mutt.
KIMMEL: You know, I don't like to say, honestly. Because, then, I think people think that jokes come from a certain standpoint when the truth is we have a lot of writers here who are various things and who try to get their things in and I just read them. [Laughs.]

Below find comments from those dangerous extermists at CNN, Blitzer and Gupta that oppose O'bummer:
Blitzer asked him "Effectively, these people are at least blaming President Obama and the Democrats' health care reform law – it is now the law of the land – for this dramatic spike this year?" Gupta affirmed that premise. "That's what some analysts are suggesting, that when there's a bunch of things that are going to sort of take place next year."
He mentioned that, among other things, a mandate that insurance companies justify a 10 percent or more increase in premiums is contributing to the rise in costs. Also, employers are shifting more costs to the consumers in the form of higher deductibles and co-pays.
"Yes, that's what a lot of Republicans point out, this is discouraging big companies from hiring more people because of the costs of health care that are going up and up and up," Blitzer concluded.
Then there is that dangerous extermist Newsweak editor, Tina Brown, that opposes O'bozo:
Newsweak editor Tina Brown made an off-hand remark about Barack Obama, conceding that the politician "wasn't ready" to be President.
Its obvious that Homeland Security is going to have to reign in these dangerous extermists. There are just getting out of hand.

Another guilty rich person.
The "raise my taxes" Google guy, just about all actors, famous 'musicians' and other celebrities know deep down they got rich by dumb luck. Probably better actresses at the Dubuque public theater, and she knows it. But instead of admitting they got lucky, they feel guilty and then project the notion of getting rich by luck onto others.
People like this really ought to be getting mental help instead of making fools of themselves in public.

He's a "big listener," eh, Eva? What does listening actually accomplish?
Has a lot of round tables? Well, Eva, so does a furniture store.
The "character of America," Eva, will be examined when it's time to throw the nascent dictator Obama out on his listening ear.
And if you're Latina, how did you forget that in listing your various ethnicities? Shouldn't that have been numero uno... Oh, sorry Eva, that was Spanish... Shouldn't that have been first on your list?

Eva is one of those "borders jumped us" people....saw her say that basically verbatim in some interview.
Guess what Eva....there is no way in hell you would ever speak this way about Bush (who was mercilessly taunted and vilified for EIGHT years and he rarely said a word about it...and I bet you were thinking he earned very bit of it) or anyone else with an R by their name, so keep it shut. You're one of these liberal morons that view any (valid) criticism of a president who is clearly clueless (at best) or insidious (at worst...and my bet, by the way) as it relates to fixing the economy. Conservatives knew this years ago. One point that sticks out in my mind is that whole spiel about "fairness" when he said he'd raise the capital gains tax DESPITE the fact that it would clearly do nothing but hurt economic growth...that's a Marxist folks..and that's all I need to know about Obama. He's "leading" a center-right nation but feels he's entitled to remake the nation in a Marxist image. To quote a great American...you thought us to be passive...you thought wrong...2010 was just a taste of what's coming electorally for your sad, pathetic group of demagogues. The FIRST bill out of the next House will be a repeal of Obamacare.
Idiotic and obtuse little bimbos like Ms. Longoria need to quit being self-loathing Americans and go get taxed into oblivion in Europe (because, after all, they would treat her earnings like a piggy bank on a scale that makes California look like romper room)...but she stays here for the money and fame she (for now) has here.
Makes you something in particular, Ms. Longoria...and it begins with an "W". Don't act like for a second that you haven't forsaken your Tejano heritage (Texans of Mexican descent)...if Mexico is so great, it's not like it's a long drive for you. I've been there myself....it's s**t down there...and you know it.
Obama started this, Eva....the minute he said "he won" just after being elected in 2008...and he's about to lose now and it makes you insane, doesn't it?

My take is that treating things racially when it's not relevant to the situation makes things worse.
But if Latino "leaders" really wanted to make a difference, they'd give a swift kick in the a$$ to those that wait for their handout and sponge off the government. Black leaders need to do that, too....but they don't.
If your race or your gender are on your list of top five things that define you as a person, you are part of the problem....
Asking people to be color-blind and honest about what the REAL problem is is a two way street....at least it should be.
