Oh Waah… Lib DeNiro Lashes Out at Trump – Says Asking Person for Birth Certificate Is a “Terrible Thing”

Hollywood liberal Robert DeNiro whined over Donald Trump’s recent ‘birther’ attacks in an interview at the Tribeca Film Fest in New York this past weekend.
The Huffington Post reported:
Discussing the recently averted — for now — government shutdown, De Niro expressed disgust with what he considers games being played by politicians, especially the Republicans, and the political jockeying’s impact on working Americans.
“I think of the possibility of the government being shut down, and I say, ‘How did we get to this point?’” he said, according to Movieline. “I remember it happened years ago. And I just say, ‘How did we ever get to that point?’ Because the people who suffer are the one who have jobs where every week, they’ve gotta make these payments. How did we get there? What is this about? This is crazy. And I know Obama was trying to bridge the gap. His intentions are really good. Maybe some things are not as good as we all would like, but his intentions were right. A lot of these guys, they’re intentions are not even good. They’re just playing the game. And they’re playing with people’s lives.”
De Niro campaigned for Obama in 2008; during one event during the Democratic primary that year, De Niro said:
“I’ve never made a speech like this at a political event before. So what am I doing here? I’m here because finally one person has inspired me. One person has given me hope. One person has made me believe that we can make a change.”
The star also seemed to be hitting out at Republican birthers who doubt President Obama’s birth certificate, among other accusations.
“I won’t mention names, but certain people in the news the last couple weeks, just, what are they doing? It’s crazy. They’re making statements about people that they don’t even back up,” De Niro alluded. “Go get the facts before you start saying things about people.”
When Williams asked him if he was talking about potential GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump — “Any of those people have shows on my network on Sunday night?” he inquired — De Niro confirmed that, indeed, Trump, who has been on a national campaign questioning the President’s birth certificate, was who he was talking about.
“It’s like a big hustle. It’s like being a car salesman. Don’t go out there and say things unless you can back them up. How dare you? That’s awful to do. To just go out and speak and say these terrible things? Unless you just wanna get over and get the job. It’s crazy.”
De Niro would be just the latest celebrity to call out Trump; Jerry Seinfeld and potential GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump erupted into a war of words this week after Seinfeld pulled out of Trump’s son’s charity event over the mogul’s recent spate of public statements doubting the President’s Hawaii birth.
So asking a person to produce a birth certificate is a “terrible thing?” …Since when?

The road to hell is paved with………..?? Good intentions. This is all the left has, usually the programs liberals offer CAUSE more suffering than they alleviate. Conservative determine success by how many no longer need assistance. Liberal determine success by how many lives are destroyed/ ensnared/made dependent.
Stick to acting and leave the intellectual heavy lifting to those of us with a brain. Putz.

Personally, I don’t listen to people who play dress up for a living. Especially half Italians who play mobsters.

—”To just go out and speak and say these terrible things?”—
“I doubt the existence of your birth certificate” is a terrible thing now?
Say what you want about my momma’s choice of foot wear, but don’t ever question the validity of civil records!
toongoon commented:
Obama’s intentions are all that matters to this idiot, forget that the greatest nation in the world is falling at his direction.
Now he wants to blast Trump for bringing up an issue that Americans think could be an important factor in the illigitimacy of this presidential fraud?
DiNiro might as well say to Trump; “why the hell are you concerned with what the American people think? My whole whole fortune is due to them and I don’t give a s–t about what they think, C-mon and get back on board with us, the self-important elites and leave little Barry alone!”

Sigh, and another social default liberal speaks out, regurgitating their thoughts. To the people who play “make-believe” all their lives, just because you play a smart person in the movies does not mean you are really smart. Stick to acting and leave the grown up discussions to the better informed.

You are right, if Obama can not back up his claims about Paul Ryan’s budget plan then Obama should keep his lies to himself.

DeNiro: “And I know Obama was trying to bridge the gap. His intentions are really good. Maybe some things are not as good as we all would like, but his intentions were right.”
How do you combat this ignorance that is so prevalent among so many people, and so many of them, prominent individuals with a public podium?
I’m asking serious question. It’s all well and good to point out the ignorance of a Hollywood elitist, but he is not alone, and such thinking is shared by at least 1/3 or the country if not more, and many of those have a microphone.
How do you combat against people who see black as white, up as down, in as out, evil as good? How do you combat against people who look at the utter destruction this president is leveling against this country and yearn to give him credit for “good intentions”?
I’m seeing a dwindling array of options.
Dewormer commented:
I totally agree with De Niro and support his demand that Trump “back his claim up.” Strong accusations like this require strong evidence! Trump should be immediately granted access to the full birth certificate, authorized by the Federal government (which as we know from all good progressives, is really the people and represents our will) at the penalty of Obama’s immediate suspension and removal from office in the event of refusal.
As we’re all aware, employers routinely require documentation (e.g. proof of spouse benefits/dependents eligibility) and we all would be terminated from our jobs if we didn’t promptly provide. Let’s demand this evidence now.

Really? Why don’t we hold Obama and his policies to this bar?
Sigh…always talking the talk…but never willing to follow through!!
Enough already

He really ought to be complimenting Obama on his superior acting abilities. DeNiro plays the same guy in every movie, and Obama plays a very different character tailored to every audience he encounters.
Andreas K. commented:
Bobby, stick to being a good actor and make good movies. Seriously.
There’s a reason why Japanese actors never make political statements in public. The media and their fans would tear them to shreds. They all have their opinions, some even call for people to go and vote (like idol group AKB48 has done at the recent elections in Tokyo), but they all keep their political opinions to themselves.

Mikey commented:
Just another liberal Hollywood actor that does not get my hard earned dollars. The list just keeps growing. It’s really getting difficult to find anything to watch anymore that doesn’t have some moronic liberal, kommie, anti-American actor/actress in it. Tom Hanks said “5 and a half more years, please”. What a moron. Why does he hate America? I think I’ll just sell my TV.
commonman commented:
The question we should be asking is why the media is egging this on now, could it be they just trying to distract americans away from policies or they ‘re having a hard time defending them.
susan commented:
I once was in a restaurant/bar in Tribeca (2003) and around 11:30pm walks in DeNiro with Chazz Palminteri. They sit at a table where two of their younger female friends were eating.
Like a bull, DeNiro picks up a fork proceeds to eat off the girl’s plate then gets up and leaves.
Horridly bad manners aside; like Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Michael Moore and Oprah Winfrey…Robert DeNiro can get away with anything just because he is idolized by unwashed masses of idiots addicted to their Hollywood Entertainment.
If you continue buying Hollywood’s crap they will continue crapping all over you; it’s your choice, allowing Hollywood to crap on you or not.

For all the artsy airs, I can’t think of any business that is a bigger hustle or full of shlock and fake promises than Hollywood movies.
StrangernFiction commented:
Ah yes, the liberal/diseased mind on display. Although there is at least an admission that The Chocolate Jesus hasn’t been perfect. Even the glorious make mistakes, right Bobby?
locomotivebreath1901 commented:
These hollyweird nutballs have a camera and a microphone, but only because they get the big bucks to look pretty and emote for a ticket buying public.
If anyone of you buys a movie ticket, or rents a movie, you’re helping to finance these hollyweird nutballs to promote and slobber all over their Liberal politicians.
Ready to put your money where your mouth is? STOP BUYING WHAT THEY ARE SELLING!!
Gary commented:
yep.
DeNiro’s good stuff was in the 70s and 80s. Two solid decades of a bunch of crap, and now a cry for relevance (and some attention for Tribeca).
I used to have a strict policy about not seeing movies with vocal libs in them. But slowly my ability to watch anything eroded as one vacuous actor/actress after another made their obligatory statements.
So I had to adopt a new policy. I won’t pay to see them at the theater where it hurts them most, and I won’t buy their DVDs or PPV them either. I’ll only watch them when they make their way to HBO/Showtime/Starz where the cost is baked in.
Gary commented:
sorry, i’m not quite done yet
why don’t performers see that what people appreciate them for is the performance, not their political views, and that more than half the country is turned off by their leftist views.
Actually an actor who speaks out on either side is going to offend about half the country.
What other kind of businessperson selling his product would seek to alienate half his potential customers with reckless abandon?
So it gets them in good with the Hollywood crowd, what good is it if nobody sees the movies?
How can we as a country organize a mass cinema boycott to convey our sentiments?
Well, as if we didn’t have enough other things to worry about.
You know what DeNiro, shut up and act.

I think technically they had a right to see them until he was declared eligible despite not showing them.
Now the question is, since he just announced his re-election campaign, do we have another bite at the apple? The majority of states are Republican-run now. Each state can determine who is on the ballot based on the state’s eligibility requirements. If some big states like Florida take him off the ballot, re-election could almost be eliminated as a possibility. I think Arizona has just passed such a law (prove eligibility to make the ballot). If left to Congress, they will never declare him ineligible. And he is just thumbing his nose at the whole country by not showing proof, if he has it.
Seriously though, I don’t think many states will pursue the matter for fear of alienating those brilliant independent voters who haven’t completely decided to vote Democrat yet.

Ayyyyyyy! Come on Man! Can’t you appreciate the genius of saying “Focker” for two straight movies? Can’t you see brilliance when you see it?
He’s always been like Fonzie who can swear without it getting bleeped. Nothing more.
Or Dice Clay.
commonman commented:
As long as Obama is president we’ll never know what he’s trying to hide.The media is egging this on to make republicans look silly among american people. Republicans can’t win hearts and minds with birther thing, when so many americans are losing everything.
uncle monkey commented:
What’s that even supposed to mean?
I guess he can’t string together a coherent sentence unless it’s printed for him.
He probably also tells the cop “it’s a terrible thing” to ask for his drivers license every time he’s pulled over for drunk driving.
Shut up and dance clown, dance.
Mark1957 commented:
Yeah, just another dumb Focker from hollyweird that thinks he knows everything.
workingclass artist commented:
Go Trump!
“I like his acting, but in terms of when I watch him doing interviews and various other things, we’re not dealing with Albert Einstein,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” Monday. “He can say what he wants but the fact is that this guy has not revealed his birth certificate, a lot of people agree with me.”

Ohhh…the people of Hollywierd..with their inflated egos and big mouths. It is so easy to avoid the products that they make. Ask the Dixie Chicks.
Really, since the products they put out are so useless and talentless, its soooo damn easy to avoid them.
Fools, thats what they are. We couldnt do this to them, as easily as they are doing to themselves. Its wonderful to watch!
Chisum commented:
DiNiro certainly has the big red clown nose.
whatif commented:
Another wealthy liberal living in a bubble insulated from reality and the economic pain his liberal messiah has brought upon the American people. This guy is worth millions and his “concern” for the people is based upon failed policies that create misery while trying to alleviate it. 99.999% of hollywood does not understand the issues even with rising gas & food prices, foreclosures and a piss poor job market.
GrayRider commented:
I hereby rename Robert DeNiro………..Robert DeNier.
So people keep asking commented:

When he as already given one. With it being valid in all states, territory and countries of the world.
Forreal commented:
What idiots. If you realized how ignorant you all sounded you would not have left any comments. Obama has been trying to pull this country out of the hole it has been in and all republicans can do is say ‘no’ to everything he is trying but what good have they done??? The mess this country is in is NOT of Obama’s making so get your darn facts straight!! Instead of trying to tear down the folks that are trying to fix it, get your behinds in there and help!
