I don't agree with your 'simple minded assessment'. It is patently true that the left in Hollywood has a lock on the culture and that there is almost a McCarthyism black list for anyone who does not tow the leftist party line in public. Bretbart is correct.

On other matters: SwampFoxAnalyst your so called analysis is wrong. Most intellectuals in France have definitely not attended the same Grande Ecoles that the French civil servants have attended. Foucault and Derida for example were not products of the elite system. Nor, in earlier times was Sartre or de Beauvoir. Breitbart's point holds.

Few celebrities in the US have even a modicum of education; few indeed have completed their schooling and by luck (and indeed sometimes by acting skill) they, like Peter Pan, are able never to grow up and face the responsibilities of the world. They float (as many leftists do) in an perpetual adolescent sea without responsibilities - money and fame does that to a person.

Many 'stars' are almost teenage in their outlook.

This video is simple minded right wing talking points and argument framing to mislead in misinform run amok. I'm surprised Fora.tv thought it merited a place where standards are normally far higher.

I find it laughable that he characterizes actors as fearing people of intellect so that they choose to associate with the elite of France. The elite of France are, almost to a person, the graduates of the Grandes écoles. The students admitted to these schools are the intellectual elite of France. There are no French equivalents to George W. Bush at Yale, daddy can't buy admission into an elite school. In France, if you can't outscore the competition, you don't get in. Of course, daddy can buy you a tutor, but you still have to perform well on the entrance examinations. France is as close to a meritocracy of any place that I know. Brieitbart is displaying the behavior that he lambasts in Hollywood.

Dang dawg, take it down a notch. Some interesting points tainted by high levels of insanity.
