Conservatives flip out over Jim Carrey’s anti-gun music video

It takes a rare piece of satire to get under the skin of the professional talker class on Fox News and right-wing radio, but comedian Jim Carrey’s anti-gun music video has done just that, and conservatives like Ann Coulter, Greg Gutfeld and Laura Ingraham can’t help but publicize it.

“He is probably the most pathetic tool on the face of the earth, and I hope his career is dead, and I hope he ends up sleeping in a car the way his life began,” Gutfeld said on Monday’s episode of “The Five.” “This video only made me want to go out and buy a gun. He thinks this is biting satire, going after rural America and a dead man?”

He went on to chastise Carrey for penning an essay in 2009 advocating against early childhood vaccinations, saying that publicizing his viewpoint “has killed more people than all the rifles combined,” and calling him “a little, sad freak.”

Ingraham told the hosts of “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning that she felt Carrey’s video was really just a “mask” for his “cold, dead career” following a chilly box office reception for his latest film, “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.”

“Carrey has not been funny since, I dunno, ‘The Truman Show’?” she said. “‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,’ ‘Dumb and Dumber.’ He was gonna be in the sequel, what happened there? He’s not going to be in the sequel there, which I think is not disappointing to many people.”
