LOS ANGELES - The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is calling on Tim Allen to apologize for comparing the experience of being a conservative in Hollywood to living in Germany in the 1930s.

Allen, who grew up in Detroit and is a Western Michigan alum, made the comments on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last week while discussing his attendance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Of Hollywood, Allen said “you’ve got to be real careful around here or you’ll get beat up.” He added, “If you don’t believe what everybody believes, this is like thirties Germany.”

In a statement , Anne Frank Center executive director Steven Goldstein calls on Allen to “apologize to the Jewish people.” He tells Allen that “no one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s”

3. I know someone in the movie industry who worked with him and said he is a big a hole

Talented but a real jerk. His career could have been bigger but he has a big ego.

4. The maltreatment of these wealthy Episcopalian white males is becoming a real concern.

The severity of his dreadful oppression has sorely limited his net worth to a mere $80 million. The collective maltreatment of these wealthy Episcopalian white males is becoming a real concern.

7. Sad !

6. I'm glad they didn't just let this slide

Allen offensive remarks show just how deep his ignorance runs. After an obnoxious comment like that, he should be relegated to work in Willie Aames' Bibleman dreck and remakes of Atlas Shrugged.
