Quiz – Which Knuckleheaded Know-Nothing Celebrity Said This?
If you know the answer, keep it in your breast pocket. I want genuine guesses.
This was a bonehead talking about gun control.
Washington Times
President Obama’s gun control push got some Hollywood star power at a Wednesday morning news conference at the Capitol that included appearances from actors Chris Rock, Adam Scott, and Amanda Peet — as well as XXXXXXX who cautioned that if America does not act on the issue of gun violence, it could be headed down the road of 1940s Germany.
“We should just care for our children so much,” XXXXXX said, adding that he’s told his own children: “no guns in my house; they’re not allowed.”
“I just believe that assault weapons — they were invented for war,” he said. “They shouldn’t be on our streets here.”
“This is the kind of [turn] that happened to the great country of Germany, where the Nazis came over, created tragic things, and they had to be told off,” he continued. “And if we continue this kind of violence and accept it in our country, the rest of the world is going to take care of us in a very bad way. We should learn that we’re the greatest country because we’re all different nationalities, different religions, and we should show the rest of the world how to behave.”
!SNIP!
Astoundingly stupid.
Okay, hints. It’s a man. He’s old. He’s been stupid his entire life. (No, seriously. He thinks of himself as a thoughtful intellectual, a man of all seasons, and he has NEVER sounded lucid, even when he was younger.)
Let the guesses begin.

BigFurHat

No to Ed Asner.
No to Robert Redford.
And honestly, I don’t think either of those 2 would make a statement as lunkheaded and historically inaccurate as this Nazi Germany statement.
BigFurHat
February 6th, 2013
Aleon. That wasn’t a guess. That was a statement indicating that you knew what the answer was.

February 6th, 2013
And what is someone in his 80′s doing telling his “kids” no guns in the house?
BigFurHat
February 6th, 2013
This stuff out of Tony Bennet’s mouth is jaw droppingly stupid.
We have to get control of the guns amongst the citizenry lest we turn into Nazi Germany.

Hey, it’s been a long time since you’ve had a contest – like visual puns or song titles. What do you think?
RickeyG
February 6th, 2013
Cynic you’re close…it was actually 2 squirrels that fought to the death on top of his head.

Wow! Tony Bennett. I guess all that SF fog is actually between his ears.
RickeyG
February 6th, 2013
A combo of LSD & Alzheimer’s maybe…he’s gotten real stoopid the last few years…
aleon
February 6th, 2013
I got caught cheating!
Just because he wears a BIG FUR HAT doesn’t mean you can pull the wool over his eyes.

This is strange that the libtards let one of their senile own off the plantation long enough to actually speak. And it’s doubly strange that the press actually printed what he said.
They usually wait for an older conservative to be at some function and ask him questions to see if he is as senile as the old liberals. Sometimes he is and the press has a field day with it.
And if you attack Mr. Bennett then you’ll be a hater because he’s old and defenseless.
KF
February 6th, 2013
He left his brain in SFO

Martin Sheen

Someone should really tell Tony “I Left my Brain in San Francisco” Bennett that the Nazis were only able to achieve their murderous plans after THEY DISARMED THE POPULACE. Jews first, natch.
Get a clue, dumbass.

Robert Redford.

Did bennet have a stroke? He talks kinda funny. Which might also explain his 2ndA position.
paganpanhead
February 6th, 2013
Ed Asner ?????
Claudia
February 6th, 2013
I didn’t look at any comments yet.
Couldn’t be Matt Damon because he is too young.
Ed Asner – he’s still alive, right?
Yeah, that’s my guess.
Claudia
February 6th, 2013
Tony Bennett!!!! Hohohoho, I was way off the mark!
Isn’t it funny how many people guessed Ed Asner and Robert Redford?!

He left his (brain) in San Fransisco.

God help us.

Tony’s the same assclown moron who proclaimed once that America had made no cultural contributions to the world other than jazz. Just goes to show that a lifetime of weakly imitating Frank Sinatra doesn’t make you smarter.

After the ‘bad rug’ clue I thought David Letterman for sure!
Moe Tom
February 6th, 2013
I thought Danny Glover. But Tony Bennett could be of that mind. Stupid. Ed Asner is a communist but not that stupid to utter such nonsence. I don’t know the answer, it could be one of so many stupids.
Let us know.

He left his heart in San Francisco. He’s clearly still needs to look for his brain.

It looks like there is a concensus that Ed Asner equals Tony Bennett on the leftard scale.
I concur.
