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 Carreys anti-gun music video has done just that, and conservatives like Ann Coulter, Greg Gutfeld and Laura Ingraham cant 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 Mondays 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 Carreys 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.

Of course something like this would anger conservatives.
Who are the main opponents of gun control?
They're conservatives.
Par for the course.

A lot of them feel betrayed, after looking up to him in Dumb and Dumber.

Anyone know if that's true?

but enough to place his beliefs squarely outside the scientific consensus, along with his belief in the Law Of Attraction - some woo about wishing for something hard enough makes it become reality. Which by the way places him in good company with many of the grab nuts.
Enlighten me!
