Jon Lovitz: Obama Is A 'F***ing A**hole' [EXPLICIT LANGUAGE] (AUDIO)

The Huffington Post | By Adam Goldberg Posted: 04/23/2012 8:21 pm Updated: 04/24/2012 1:44 am

Jon Lovitz doesn't seem to be a fan of President Obama.

The former "Saturday Night Live" star, who made a name for himself playing characters such as Hanukkah Harry and Tommy Flanagan the Pathological Liar, slammed Obama on his podcast, "The ABC's Of SNL." The show, co-hosted by filmmaker Kevin Smith, is billed as being recorded "live from the Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre."

In a clip highlighted by Breitbart TV, Lovitz jokes that Obama is "a fucking asshole" for "saying the rich don't pay their taxes":

"This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don't pay their taxes is fucking bullshit. And I voted for the guy, and I'm a Democrat. What a fucking asshole. The rich don't pay their taxes? Let me tell you something, right. First they say to you, you're dead broke, 'the United States of America, you can do anything you want, go for it.' So then you go for it and then you make it, and everyone's like 'fuck you.'"

The comedian went on to explain that Obama "is the perfect example. He's amazing. He had nothing. He had no father. He was, you know, of mixed race which is a burden in the United, don't kid yourself, you know, growing up like that, and no money, and the guy ends up being at Harvard. He's the President of the United States. And now he's like, fuck me!"

"If I make a dollar and out of every dollar I'm taxed at 50, half, at 50 cents, I have to give, isn't that like enough?" asked Lovitz. He continued, "It's half. HALF?!"

It's unclear whether Lovitz's comments were sincere or made in jest. Although the rant occurred this January, the podcast itself was just released on Sunday.

Lovitz isn't the only "SNL" cast member to jab Obama. Of the show's alumni, Victoria Jackson is perhaps the President's most outspoken critic. As HuffPost reported, Jackson has said that Obama "was raised Marxist" and "is a communist." HuffPost caught up with her at the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference, where she said she wanted to "save America from Communism."

Fair share tax? What is that?

If you and I go to a restaurant and you have a salad, I have a 7 course meal. Should we split the bill? That kind of fair tax?

jergul, Obuma wants the top 50% of producers to pay for 100% of running the country so his voting base doesn't have to pay anything.

That is what Obuma considers a Fair Share Tax, while some of us consider it armed robbery.

There are already going to rich people, Fox Rod. They are paying less potion of tax on their income than the middle class, how are they going to be tax out of existence if they paid the same level the middle are paying, thief?

".. so his voting base doesn't have to pay anything. "

hey remember how Rod was really really upset when another president (lets leave the name out for now) remove obama supporters from the tax rolls? Yeah, me neither.

" Nearly 5 million taxpayers will be off the rolls as a result of the tax relief this year."

25 million taxpayers basically removed from the rolls, due to the Bush tax cuts. Most even get a refund. Remember how Rod was really upset back then?

This isn't the guy Obama is talking about. The guy who doesn't pay his fair share are those go have an effective rate of 15% or less because all their income comes from the stock market.

You can argue about if that good or bad for the US but at least get get a fucking clue about what's beig argued about.

".. so his voting base doesn't have to pay anything. "

The poor just pay low or no INCOME tax. They still play plenty of payroll and other taxes.

Why do you care? Are you rich?

And why don't you ALSO defend the poor? You can not ONLY defend the rich. That's not objective.

And if you're not being objective we can dismiss you as a biased liar.

More irony in which Fox Rod critised Obama for calling for more tax on the rich, while paying only 20% of his income in tax. Fox Rod himself is calling for more taxes on the poor despite he doesnt pay any income tax himself.

Hot Rod
Revved Up Tue Apr 24 12:08:56

HF, I would imagine Lovitz has a great deal of his fortune in investments that qualify for the 15% rate. He is no Buffet, but I would imagine he is worth a few millions.

Paramount - Why do you care? Are you rich?

No, I'm not rich and I pay no taxes, but I do care about right and wrong. The tax on investment income should be ZERO because the taxes were paid when the money was originally earned. It should not be doubled.

What you people do not realize is what drives a free economy is investment. If you tax away investment income you have a less healthy economy.

I am willing to pay *MY SHARE* OF taxes if *EVERYONE* pays their fair share,

*****INCLUDING THE POOR*****.

I believe there should be a flat rate sales tax set by a Constitutional Amendment so Congress could not raise it at their whim.

You really love taxes specifically designed to take a larger portion of poorer people's incomes.

Actually hot rod is on to something. A sales tax on everything sold.

How many stocks are sold on the New York Stock exchange yearly? And the humor of a sales tax on federal debt auctions.

A fair tax would take a portion of the poor peoples money, but that is better than taking all of the rich mans money.

Actually, I would rater reduce government and have zero taxes.

"A fair tax would take a portion of the poor peoples money, but that is better than taking all of the rich mans money. "

You are a fucking retarded Fox bot. The bottom 50% controls 2.5% of our national wealth, which is 1.45 trillion dollar.

Even if we tax a small potion from the rich, let say return to the tax rate of the Clinton tax rate, that is more than taking 50% of everything they own on the face of this planet.

Fair?
