This Creativity’ Is No More! It Has Ceased To Be. It’s Expired And Gone To Meet 'Is Maker! (Apologies To The Dead Parrot )
"Monty Python star John Cleese is once again blasting the woke left for destroying comedy. The Fawlty Towers creator was a keynote speaker at last week’s FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas, where he slammed the left for being the death of creativity.
"Now, don’t take this to mean that Cleese is a conservative. He is absolutely not a traditional, American conservative. He hated George Bush, and he hated Trump.
"However, he is also not a mind-numbed leftist like most Hollywierders are. Like other famed Brit comedians, including Ricky Gervais, Rowan Atkinson, and Russell Brand, Cleese sees clearly how the left has become the fascist side of the political aisle by trying to end free speech in favor of left-wing speech codes.". . .
. . .“ 'It wasn’t like this when I first got to America,” Cleese said. “When I first got to America in the 60s… two things happened. First of all, I very much admired the cross-the-aisle friendships and thought we don’t have that in England. We have real battles between the Tories and the Labour, but in America, there seems to be these- and this was destroyed by Newt Gingrich, quite deliberately, for purposes of power. I think that’s a tragedy.”
"Coming from a liberal, it is amusing to see Cleese so badly misunderstanding that the only way there was any comity between the Dems and the GOP in the 1990s when Newt Gingrich came to power was when the GOP gave up all its principles and bowed to the Democrats. That is why there WAS a Newt Gingrich in the first place.
"So, as you can see, Cleese is not one of us in politics. But he is an ally when it comes to free speech.". . .
Would Cleese's Hitler and silly walker have offended the left?
