Their views are similar. I don't care if one is subject to a backlash and the other isn't.

Actually politically their views are not that similar at all. And that might be the answer to the question as to why "one is subject to a backlash and the other isn't."

And what does it matter? I don't accept a point of view just because a celebrity says so. Do you?

Fairly significant ones: according to the wiki "Ventura frequently described himself as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" which I believe contrasts with the opinions that of Brand who I would not describe as fiscally conservative.

In my opinion, this goes a long way to explain why one receives backlash and the other does not. But it was your comparison originally
Mickey wrote:
Considering that celebrities have differing opinions, that is impossible: I cannot simultaneously accept both the opinions Chuck Norris and Jon Stewart.

Is it possible to agree with some of what Brand says without being accused of accepting everything he says because he's a celebrity?
Isn't that both a genitive fallacy and an ad hominem attack?

I really don't give a shit what any of those 'celebrities' think. I certainly don't celebrate any of them, so they're not celebrities to me anyway.

Jon Stewart? Chuck Norris? How about getting the political views of cheech and chong or kim kardashian? Vince mcmahon? Flavor Flav?

Do yourself a favor and tune ALL of those monkeys out. All of them, Venture and Brand included. You will be a much smarter and happier man I can assure you.

btw, Brand and Icke have similar views on a number of issues. Brand must be a shill and megalomaniac too. I am quite sure both are controlled opposition.

I am sure that most posters here can read my last post and recognise that my mention of Norris and Stewart were there to illustrate why it isn't possible to accept views just because one is a celebrity. You brought Ventura up and Brand is the topic of this thread.

So you're advice is either a sign that you cannot/did not read my post correctly OR that you are attempting a straw man .

If the opinions of Brand do not interest, what are you posting on this thread for?

But their views are quite similar, in many respects. Therefore both are shills and controlled opposition. They're both megalomaniacs, self aggrandizing and money grubbers. They're both in the public spotlight, support each other from what I can tell: they must both be shills!

To wit: why not slag off both of these wankers, since they both so obviously love the spotlight and are in full on self-aggrandization mode.

And I can PROVE Brand is a shill/controlled opp. Did you see that knowing smile at the end of the vid there? OBVIOUSLY he doesn't give a shit about the people, and it's all a publicity stunt to further his career.

This is surely SOLID EVIDENCE that he is a shill; far more solid than citing David's rantings about moon aliens and sun rays of truth.

If David's a twat, Brand is a far bigger one.

Every mainstream celebrity is a wanker. They're all in it for the money and fame, mate. Brand is no different.

I find it rather strange that you dismiss David and look up to Brand. If anything Brand is far more self aggrandizing, always on tv and other media 24/7. If David is a megalomaniac self aggrandizing clown, then so is Brand X 1 million.

Brand is a sellout, working for illuminati companies like MTV, appearing in mainstream films and TV shows. He is OBVIOUSLY an illuminati agent.

All of this SHITE he's spouting is a fooking farce. Witness the wry smile at the end. He doesn't give a shit. He just wants to make money.

I don't trust this slimeball for one second.

Is that what brought you here from DIF? Was there just too much disrespect for Mr. Icke in this small corner of the tinterwebz?

Yet Icke and Brand have similar views on a number of things. Why do you find Brand so 'interesting' and Icke so 'uninteresting?'

mikey mikey wrote:
And what is it about Brand that's so attractive to you as compared to Icke? What's the difference, really?

Brand is an obvious sell out, working for every multi-national media conglomerate out there.

Do you think Ron Paul isn't controlled opposition, either? Come on, let's not be so naive.

You haven't seen Despicable Me? Absolutely CHOCK FULL of illuminati symbolism. Yeah, he's PROMOTING the very same stuff that he is ostensibly against. He is a hypocritical, self serving sell out.

He accepts money from the multi-national mind control media moguls, then purports to speak in defense of the common man. If you can't figure out what master he truly serves, then you are a bit thick.

Russell Brand is an agent of the power structure, plain and simple.

Better hair. Obviously. [/sarcasm]

I am not enamoured by Brand. He is not what I would call an influence and he's not even my favourite comedian. I just happen to agree with what he said.

I see very little in comparison with Icke.

I am sorry if you feel that Icke is more deserving of people's admiration.

Quite upset are we? So much so that we had to take the tantrum to another thread as well?

Let me tell you something, mate. ACTIONS speak louder than words. Brand can say whatever the FOOK he wants. I look at what these bastards actually do.

Brand accepts millions of dollars from illuminati multi media mind controllers: all of them, for a price. And then he promotes their work tirelessly.
As I said, take a look at Despicable Me. It is illuminati symbolism from beginning to end. Brand knows what he's doing. He knows who he's accepting money from.

Ron Paul is controlled opposition.
Russell Brand is giving you a huge middle finger by spouting all of that tripe. I guarantee you he doesn't believe a word of it.
