Rob "Meathead" Reiner: ‘Roseanne’ a Pro-Trump Megaphone for the ‘Lunatic Fringe’
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/04/03/rob-reiner-roseanne-pro-trump-megaphone-lunatic-fringe/ (video)

Reiner said Roseanne Barr has “tremendous power” to use her social media to push pro-Trump political messages to millions of Americans.

“You have your Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart and Infowars — which used to be considered and thought of as the lunatic fringe — have now become the mainstream media,” Reiner said, adding that, “truthful journalists, people who are pursuing the truth, are diminished.”

“Democracy,” Reiner contends, “is really in trouble.”

“It goes back to the original sin of this country which is slavery, and we are fighting this last battle of the civil war. And those people who are the alt-right, the white supremacists are hanging on for dear life, and they’re using these propaganda tools which are not just, like I say, lunatic fringe,” Reiner continued. “They’re now invading us, and you guys in the mainstream media seeking the truth are really fighting an uphill battle. This is a real battle right here for the soul of democracy.”

I recalled a Wired headline in my newsfeed but can't find it.

A few IMDb reviews, one calls Roseanne racist and transphobic.

Rob Reiner doesn't seem right in the head. He's a fanatic himself.

I never saw an actor who had a more appropriate nickname, Meathead!

Does Mr. Reiner even acknowledge that most TV shows, MSNBC, CNN, the news on NBC, CBS and ABC are all left wing mouthpieces? Has he attended or watched the Emmys, Grammys, Oscars or the dozens of other self congratulatory Hollywood award shows which are platforms for the left's agenda?

What a loudmouth clown. He grew up the privileged son of a successful Hollywood celebrity. He got all the breaks but he likes to lecture the rest of us little people on how to think. Does he really think that he would've been a successful actor with his looks?

I have enjoyed his work as a director, but I could not care less about his political opinions. Typical of such a know it all horse's hind end to call anyone who disagrees with his "brilliant" opinions to be the lunatic fringe. Well to me, HE'S the lunatic and stupid to boot!
