ENTOURAGE'S ADRIAN GRENIER IS FACING CRITICISM FOR
SOMETHING HE POSTED ON 9/11 ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT.
ON INSTAGRAM HE POSTED THE FOLLOWING IMAGE AND PEOPLE
WERE NOT HAPPY.
IT SAYS, "REST IN PEACE TO THE 2996 AMERICANS WHO DIED ON 9/11.
REST IN PEACE TO THE 1.4
MILLION INNOCENT IRAQIS WHO DIED DURING THE U.S.
AND REASON FOR SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T DO."
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS WHAT HE POSTED IS FACTUALLY CORRECT.
PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE IT.
HE GOT A LOT OF CRITICISM.
PULL UP GRAPHIC NUMBER THREE, ONE PERSON SAID, "DON'T THINK I
WILL BE
WATCHING ANOTHER MOVIE HE IS IN AFTER HE MADE THIS POSTING
ON INSTAGRAM AND DELETED IT."
HE DID DELETED AFTER HE GOT CRITICISM.
HE REPLACED IT WITH SOMETHING MUCH LESS CONTROVERSIAL.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT GRAPHIC NUMBER TWO.
YOU CAN SEE THE FIRST RESPONDERS.
ANOTHER PERSON SAID, "WOW, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW THE 9/11
VICTIM'S FAMILIES FEEL.
TODAY WAS NOT THE DAY.
TODAY WAS THEIR DATE.
CLASS."
ANOTHER PERSON SAID, "YOU ARE A LOWLIFE LIBERAL SCUM ñ IDIOT.
WHY WOULD YOU PUSH IT AND DISRESPECT EVERYONE WHO DIED ON
9/11."
>> LET'S NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT CONSERVATIVES ARE THE
ONES WHO SAID THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS THE 9/11
FAMILIES, BECAUSE THEY WERE CRYING TOO MUCH AND WHINING
ABOUT GETTING SOMETHING FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
NOT ABOUT THE DAY ITSELF, BUT THERE WAS SOME POLICY
POSITION WHERE THE FAMILIES WANTED ACCOUNTABILITY.
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO KEEP CRYING ABOUT
THIS.
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT DISRESPECTING 9/11 FAMILIES.
HOW ABOUT THE FIRST RESPONDERS WHO THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PROVIDE
HEALTH INSURANCE FOR?
THEN JON STEWART EMBARRASSED THEM SO THAT THEY WOULD VOTE
YES.
THEY WERE ALL VOTING NO.
THAT IS FOR OUR OWN POLITICAL PREFERENCES.
IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO HELP THE FIRST RESPONDERS OF THE
9/11 FAMILIES, REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES HAVE NO
INTEREST IN THAT.
I LOVE HIS POST.
IT IS 1000 PERCENT RIGHT.
LOOK, THE NUMBERS ON HOW MANY IRAQIS DIED COULD BE DEBATABLE.
ON THE SUBSTANCE OF IT, THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO POINT OUT
THAT WE INVADED IRAQ FOR NO REASON BECAUSE IT WAS NOT
CONNECTED TO 9/11.
WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE HIM TO MAKE THAT POINT ñ ON 9/12?
ON 9/13?
WE CAN MAKE IT A DAY OF MOURNING EVERY YEAR ñ
I THINK IT WAS MARCH 19.
BY THE WAY ALL THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES NOW ADMITTED ITS
ABOUT INVADING IRAQ.
NOW THEY ALL SAY IT WAS A MISTAKE, WHEN THEY WERE ALL IN
FAVOR
OF IT.
OH, THEY WANT US TO NOT TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THEIR
GROTESQUE FAILURES.
YOU KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS USED 9/11
AS AN EXCUSE TO INVADE IRAQ AND HAVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE DIE.
THAT'S WHY YOU WANT US TO TALK ABOUT IT, NOT BECAUSE YOU
ARE SO OFFENDED ABOUT THE SANCTITY OF THE DAY OF 9/11.
>>I THINK THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT YOU ARE NOT
HEARING FROM REPUBLICAN TALKING HEADS THAT ARE CRITICIZING HIM.
THESE CRITICISMS ARE COMING FROM HIS FANS.
AVERAGE EVERYDAY AMERICANS WHO SAW IT AND GOT VERY OFFENDED.
THAT PART BOTHERS ME THE MOST.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING CONFRONTED BY A FACT, AND
IT MAKES THEM UNCOMFORTABLE SO THEY IMMEDIATELY REJECT IT.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PROTECT EVIDENCE THAT GOES AGAINST
WHAT YOUR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ARE.
WHAT HE POSTED WAS RIGHT.
WE INVADED A COUNTRY THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.
AS A RESULT, WE PUT OUR OWN SOLDIERS AT RISK, WE KILLED
INNOCENT CIVILIANS, IT LED TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ISSUES
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
AND IT SHOULD BE CRITICIZED.
WE SHOULD HOLD POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS, BUT
WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST BRAINLESS
DRONES WHO DON'T LIKE TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES.
THEY LOVE TO BE OUTRAGED AND OFFENDED BY EVERY LITTLE THING.
WHY DON'T WE PUT THE "I'M OFFENDED" TRUCK BEHIND US.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS PISSED OFF ABOUT THINGS THAT CONFLICT
WITH THEIR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS.
IN THIS CASE, ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE CRITICIZING HIM
ARE IDIOTS AND HE SHOULD ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WHAT HE
POSTED WAS TRUE.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN "I'M OFFENDED" TRUNK.
>>I WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING CLEVER, BUT I
COULDN'T.
I MEANT TO SAY BANDWAGON.
THAT IS THE WHOLE THING THAT YOU SEE IN SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT
NOW, ESPECIALLY TWITTER.
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO BE OUTRAGED ABOUT.
WHAT YOU POSTED IS NOT WORTH IT.
IT IS SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING INTO IF YOU DISAGREE.
>>
A FINAL THOUGHT ON THIS IS THAT THE WHOLE IDEA OF
CONSERVATIVES AND THEIR BANS- IT ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF THE
DISNEY BAN FOR FAMILIES THAT LOVE STRAIGHT PEOPLE, NOT
GAY PEOPLE.
DISNEY
GREW BIGGER AND BIGGER UNTIL 13
YEARS LATER THEY FINALLY SENT OUT A NOTE, WE ARE NO
LONGER BANNING THEM, I'M GOING TO TAKE MY KIDS.
SO SAD.
