Gary Oldman blasts liberal Hollywood, defends Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin

Oldman later singles out satirical news programs like The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and Real Time With Bill Maher.

“Well, if I called Nancy Pelosi a c-—t — and I’ll go one better, a f—ing useless cunt — I can’t really say that,” he begins. “But Bill Maher and Jon Stewart can, and nobody’s going to stop them from working because of it.”

Oldman continues: “Bill Maher could call someone a fag and get away with it. He said to Seth MacFarlane this year, ‘I thought you were going to do the Oscars again. Instead they got a lesbian.’ He can say something like that. Is that more or less offensive than Alec Baldwin saying to someone in the street, ‘You fag’? I don’t get it.”

Earlier, Oldman voiced his disdain for people in the culture hiding “behind comedy and satire to say things we can’t ordinarily say, because it’s all too politically correct.”
