Dear Ben: Shut Up and Act

On Ceeb radio last week, a Q ranter (nice work if you can get it) declared that celebrities should be allowed to use their fame to speak out about causes near and dear to their hearts. His (lame) argument: "Being famous doesn't make your voice more important, but it doesn't make it less important either."

Actually, what it does is give you--a know-nothing with a pretty face--influence you don't deserve and wouldn't have but for your fame. Case in point: Ben Affleck blowing a gasket over "Islamophobia" and "racism" on the Bill Maher show:

...People like Affleck will defend the rights of jihadists all the way up until the blade severs their heads from their bodies, but think nothing of publicly smearing all Christians as theocratic bigots. 

“I’m simply telling you,” Affleck told [atheist author Sam] Harris, “I disagree with you.” Harris calmly countered correctly with, “You don’t understand my argument.” 

That’s because Ben Affleck is typical of uninformed but holier-than-thou, media-empowered Hollywood actors, who substitute passion for thought and utopian ideals for reality, who reject facts for ad hominem slurs of racism, and who wear the blinders of moral equivalence because their false god is multiculturalism. Unfortunately, we can’t dismiss the influence of such smug, ignorant loudmouths on the smug, militantly ignorant sheep who constitute their audience.

Now, there's a ranter the Ceeb'll never hire.
