George Takei Keeps Flailing With Weak Attack on Dave Chappelle – RedState

The hits just keep on coming from “Sulu,” I mean, former “Star Trek” actor and rabid, lefty activist George Takei, who apparently uses his social media in a vain attempt to keep himself relevant.

Takei was on a really idiotic roll this week, after his juvenile diss of Shatner — whom RedState reported would make history as the oldest man (or woman) to go to space at age 90 — fizzled. It’s not even worth putting in this article, it’s so lame. If you’re curious, our sister site Twitchy had the blowback on Takei over that.

But, he wasn’t done embarrassing himself. He found time to weigh in on the feds’ attack on parents at school board meetings, when they’re just trying to keep their kids safe from sexual assault and indoctrination about Critical Race Theory…

Republicans on school boards love to cancel stuff, even if they are hateful of cancel culture. Books, authors, history…

Kyrsten Sinema, the unpopular Build Back Better deal Biden made and how the progressives tried (in vain) to force it into law

Senator Sinema, it’s time to come back to the mothership. https://t.co/vp8mDlU712

Yeah, let’s trust the methodology of an polling outfit called “Data For Progress.”

And Takei just had to find a wrongheaded, ignorant take on our nation’s transportation secretary not showing up to work for months… during a major transportation crisis:

It is a problem that Secretary Pete Buttigieg took parental leave so that he could spend valuable, irreplaceable family time bonding and playing with his NEWBORNS.

However, I would like to emphasize this. He’s now tried to attack Dave Chappelle over the Netflix nontroversy.

Would Netflix have stood up for its artistic freedom if Dave Chappelle had so openly attacked another minority group like Jews, Muslims, Asians or Muslims? It’s hard not to feel like trans people are considered fair game in today’s America. We must not be silent about this.

George has some bad news. It’s so much of a controversy, as his tweet even notes, that Netflix is staying the course and not taking down the special. And he would know how pathetic his statement was, if he’d ever bothered to watch the special or any of Chappelle’s routines. Like Richard Pryor or Mel Brooks or Eddie Murphy or Norm Macdonald before him, the comedian definitely brings up about topics that most everyday people don’t or won’t talk about. These are not “attacks.” They’re observations about the human condition. And here’s a little secret: Human beings and how they act are Funny. All of these gentlemen (and some ladies, like Roseanne Barr) have no problem with turning that comedic magnifying glass on themselves, when it’s warranted.

But you aren’t allowed to say that out loud as a progressive. You aren’t allowed to see that people are different or think differently. That’s “hate speech,” “bigoted,” “transphobic.” What an awful, depressing existence it must be, to not be able to laugh at others — and, perhaps more importantly, at yourself.
