Anyone else gonna go see the Ghostbuster’s flick?
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Akroyd went full Stay Puff on people who’re shitting on Leslie Jones, the woman who’s Twitter feud with Milo led to his unceremonial ban from the platform.
For creative effect, please read his statement while listening to this little diddy on loop.
“These people, they’re insignificant gnats, they’re losers, they have no lives of their own, they can probably barely pay for the wifi they’re using,” Aykroyd said during an interview on Tuesday with Entertainment Tonight Canada. “Probably no jobs. I would say you’re looking at obese white men between 50 and 60 who are active Klan members or members of the Aryan Nation and there are millions of them.”
“I’m afraid to say that that contingency will be voting for the Republican ticket,” Aykroyd added.
“That’s what the statistics are indicating, that there’s a lot of white racist hatred out there that’s going to channel into a support for the Republican ticket. Maybe in the false belief that these people share their views,” he said.
Ackroyd says he doesn’t think Trump and his vice presidential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence “are as racist as the people who attacked Leslie Jones.”
But, he added: “Trump may be saying some things to go that way to get some votes but — well, I don’t know.”
The 64-year-old original Ghostbusters star’s comments about Republican voters come just one day after Twitter permanently banned Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos from the social media platform.
Cheers.

LOL…sounds like a totally unbiased speech from a Supreme Court Justice, or something.
Akroyd has been an irrelevant, unfunny loser for quite some time now. I think a couple decades ago he started taking himself too seriously. Still is, apparently.
So if you say you’re movie sucks, dependingon tour race and who you say it to, you are a racist? I think dude needs a dictionary to relearn what the term means.
No, if you call an black woman an ape, you’re a racist.
Is that what Milo said? I never saw the full Twitter conversation.
He never did. BTN just did tho
BTN, put down the crack pipe, son. I read some of the twitstorm and this hideous “actress” is the biggest drama queen I have ever seen.
My hope is this begins the big sequel “unwind”. Hollywood depends so much on superhumans & redos. [A trend and result which was fairly apparent] Just admit you got Nothin left end it already
Fly, Dan Akroyd is not commenting on the guy who wrote that review, nor is he commenting on people that don’t like the new movie. He is commenting on the “people who attacked Leslie Jones.”
Was Wiig, McCarthy, or McKinnon attacked on Twitter about the movie in the same manner, even though they arguably have bigger roles? Nope.
Gee, I wonder why.
BTN
You’re a racist.
Because they aren’t obnoxious feminists?
Oh, right. Everything is racist if it involves non-white people.
First thing I thought when I learned of the cast – why did they use the same racial formula but flip the sexes? How dumb. Clearly a gimmick and probably a racial relations misstep. Dismissed.
Everyone is a fucking racist. You are all just to stupid to realize. Embrace your God given racism. Queen Hillary is coming to make you whole. lol
Kid, it’s a matter of degrees and whether you pre-judge people based on those views. Once you mature, you’ll understand.
Ironbird is correct
However BTN is a bigger racist.

When did BTN become such a racist?
The irony of Aykroyd calling people fat old white men is priceless.
You guys are pathetic. Here are some examples of the sh!t Akroyd is criticizing::
“Your Ghostbusters isn’t the first to have an ape in it”

Of course, as Trump fans, I guess the bar is “It’s okay if I retweet comments from white supremists, as long as I say I didn’t know, even though I’m a f*cking national presidential candidate and constantly retweet racists crap and say racists crap.”
“First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.”

You guys are way too tolerant of abusers. I support their right to say sh!t, but I also support a private organization’s right to not give them another platform to spread hate.
Of course, Milo (and Trump) can’t control what their followers Tweet, but they *can* criticise it and publicly denounce it instead of winking and looking the other way. Look at the way McCain addressed that dumb@ss woman that thought Obama was a Muslim Arab for an example.
