George Lopez to Move to Canada if Sarah Palin Elected President
Newsbusters.org
Last year, Sarah Palin-hating comedian George Lopez said that if the former governor of Alaska ever became president, all Latinos would move back to Mexico.
On Tuesday’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” he took this further saying that if Palin gets to the White House, he’ll move to Canada (video follows with transcript and commentary):
PIERS MORGAN,HOST: You said on immigration, “Elect Sarah Palin as President of the US in 2012 and we’ll all leave voluntarily.”
GEORGE LOPEZ: I agree. If Sarah Palin becomes president at any point, I will say allegedly, I will move to Canada.
MORGAN: Really?
LOPEZ: I will go further north. I’ve been south. I’ll go further north.
MORGAN: You would literally leave the country?
LOPEZ: I would leave the United States of America.
MORGAN: Why would you be so drastic?
LOPEZ: I like my politicians to actually have a political background, to be politically — to know politics, to actually have inherited something from working in the political world.
MORGAN: Why is someone like Sarah Palin so popular with so many people, do you think? How does she resonate with people?
LOPEZ: Well, she’s —
MORGAN: What is she giving them they’re not getting from conventional politicians?
LOPEZ: I — is it that maverickness? Is it that homespun kind of Andy Griffith wink your eye, shift your imaginary gun thing? Maybe. Is it just that we’ve become a culture of personality? Of do we elect somebody by their smile instead of by their content? It’s a little bit of all of that.
Of course, we heard this same nonsense in the last decade when numerous Hollywoodans including Alec Baldwin said they’d leave the country if George W. Bush became president.
Sadly for us, they never did.
Looking forward to hearing Faux Exile Threats from:
Alec Baldwin
Rosie O’Donnell
Roseanne Barr
Susan Sarandon
Tim Robbins
Kathy Griffin – PLEASE, JUST MOVE YOUR “D” LIST ASS OUT- I’LL PAY FOR YOUR DAMN MOVING TRUCK!!!!

The only person true to his word about exiling was the late Pierre Salinger, whom in fact left the US for France in 2000 when Bush 43 defeated Al Gore. Salinger died in France in 2004.

Hey, if it takes Sarah Palin becoming President to make these people leave, let’s get her into office! Maybe the Wall Street posters will follow them, huh?
Or maybe they will decide to move to Cuba, they want equality, they will get it there. The people are all equal, have nothing. They don’t want capitalism, they won’t get it there.
They may have to give up some of the high-tech toys, though. I don’t know if they would like that. They may have to give up their designer sneakers, their fancy digital cameras, their cars…and they don’t have to worry about doctors charging too much, or fancy medical equipment either. This is what they want, right? Equality for everyone – a socialistic country. Yep, I think Cuba is the answer for them.
Perhaps they should talk to some of the very successful Cuban people who came here to escape “equality.” Why don’t they talk to the people who came to America for a better way of life after their leader “took over the banks, properties, real estate.”
OOPs, meant to say Wall Street protestors, sorry about that.
