Eastwood was an empty head, talking to an empty chair, about an empty suit.

Perhaps there was truth to the dumbing down stories going around afterall.

How could anyone not get this, whats to get - it's called a skit.
In my view it was the most poignant and intelligent skit of the convention

Think ok, your an actor, that most Americans respect attacking hollywood at a Republican convention. Its a skit, but one that every leftwing actor and host is going to come after you on. So write a skit that accounts for the fact that your actor is old and shakes a lot so he does not look like he has hypothermia.

Re: Clint Eastwood left me all Confused :(
I must say, Clint is the man but I was not exactly sure what in the hell I say last night. Like, he already seemed to have a slight bit of dementia, so maybe having him talk to an invisible person in a chair was kinda a bad idea.

He should have just been like, "I kick ass, democrats suck ass, its time to go oldschool on our enemies and criminals...Make my day."

I didnt want to laugh bc its like laughing at american royalty, but I was left so confused.

I agree. I kept wishing they'd get that poor guy off the stage before he dropped dead. I think he must have Alzheimers Disease or something; they never should have let him speak. It was unfair to him and embarrassing for everyone else.

Political Comedy knows no barrier... nor is any party exempt... Until THIS President...

Barack Obama and Michelle have very much enjoyed an unfettered Hollywood love fest and the media has been chained up in the basement and fed table scraps.

I would have loved to have seen the look on Barack Obama's smug face that anyone dared to mock and ridicule the failings of THE ONE!

Thats the point, its not some skit, he attacked the whole media system.

When you attack Obama and Liberal Hollywood in one move while endorsing a Republican your picking a fight of epic proportions. Make your act air tight.

I understand your point. It's a good one. Perhaps I'm showing my age in defending this. I'm starting to shake and stammer a bit myself.

To my eyes, I wouldn't say he was attacking Hollywood. I would say he was pulling in some independent and moderate seniors, the medicare and S.S. folks - all of whom could have easily recoginized the James Stewart spoof and the Harvey subtext.

Not all Americans forget pultizer prize winning works - even if they were done prior to their births - I'll be curious to see how this plays out.

Thankyou for being polite. Its nice to have a civil person on this thread. I am glad you kinda get where I am coming from. You mentioned with your age you shake some, thats normal. I am just saying that if I was getting paid 200k a year to write a skit for you, I would have said, this act will make you a target, lets be creative and do the skit in a way that gives the left as little to work with as possible.

I absolutely agree. Sure he is an actor. And a director. And a man who has walked the planet a long time and still has all his wits. He is no fool.

Clint Eastwood is brilliant. He had only a few key memes to put out there. And people are complaining that he served them with humor and honey? Those memes will be heard through election day. Watch it happen.

You notice the people that hate me, and I know who you are, are the real mental midgets. You snoop around there and here ripping on people as AC's because you in reality have nothing smart to say. Thats your nature, to put down others because you have no ideas of your own.

And honestly:

If I were twice as dumb as I was, and you were twice as smart as you were, you would still be half a smart as me. Now run along, your mom told you to go look for a job today.
 Quoting: centrist77


Well, after reading your posts/replies, I do have to agree with the AC....you're as dumb as a box of rocks!

But, you still may have a good personality, lol!

GLP can use a little civility. I try.

I'll still bet this wins over a few votes - despite the disconnect with so many of us.

Of course, as you well know, the political operators had started the attack on Eastwood back when he endorsed Mitt, and they had even released attacks just prior to the speech. They were coming - no matter the message.

Even in Hollywoods more youthful circles - Mr. Eastwood is still generally seen as a level headed, old school, class act. He's a heck of a lot more likely to get thru to independents and moderates than a Chuck Noris or Arnold... or for that matter, pick any celeb.

Anyway - nice meeting you Centrist77. You seem like the kind of guy we need around here. Anyone who has as many enemies as you do on GLP, can't be doing it wrong. Keep it up.

The part where Eastwood implied Obama replied "go fuck yourself" was good. Clint told the invis-o-bama "Romney was ready to take over now" and in reply Clint said "I cant tell Romney to do that to himself."

It was the only part of the RNC worth watching.

I will say, a month ago I didnt think Romney had a chance. If they cam control their fringes and keep the message on the economy, I think he could beat Obama. Imagine the liberals, they will literally lose their minds...well more than they have already.

Re: Clint Eastwood left me all Confused :(
The left wing will be looking for every sound bite, slip, spin, and trick they can muster.


Here is proof:

If Paul Ryan makes a gaff like Biden, it will be amplified 5 fold bc hollywood hates the right. We don't want shows cramming homo crap and anti American bullshit down our throats. Furthermore we are not socialists, which ironically the MK mindwashed hollywood actors are mostly socialists. This makes no sense because they live in huge mansions but that is what a socialist is at heart, a hypocrite.

Therefore, if you want to beat Obama, you beat him at his own game. Make him desperate and slip, which he has been doing more of lately. I think Obama will crack under pressure.

Well he certainly isn't? Or is he? I mean did he sound like a bumbling idiot or was he a brilliant speaker?

One or the other. All you sheep criticizing him are just followers that can't think outside the box.

A Hollywood icon stood up against the shithead liberal media.

Good enough for me

Lol...I liked it for several reasons...Classic Clint old man spot ragging on Liberal Obama and what a fail he is...ummm umm umm...WE own this country and you work for US....and erm uh erm uhhh....when you can't do the job, uuuh.. you get fired!...ROFL...

The guy is also a film LIVING LEGEND and pure Americana...also former Mayor of Carmel California, you don't get more Hollywood...just the fact that anyone from Hollywood of HIS stature would even show up?....that alone speaks volumes...

It also speaks volumes of the Liberal media just absolutely trashing the guy in the most vile manner...I guess having Johnny Derp coming over to the whitehouse for a pirate party when everyone toddles around telling each other how brilliant they are while vacuous twats with fake tits drink over priced wine and talk about organic gardening in $600 Prada sneakers is the new cool....I'll take John Wayne or Clint Eastwood over any ten of the pompous fags that infest hollywood nowadays...

Re: Clint Eastwood left me all Confused :(
I felt like one of the most powerful lines was when he said something to the effect that hollywood is not all lefties, but the conservative actors are more modest.

Living in liberalville myself, a lot of conservatives don't want to speak up because the left is actually far nastier when they disagree. I know two people who had their cars keyed for having bumper stickers that endorsed a republican candidate.

The problem is the left wing version of being politically correct actually means that you cannot talk about most of the problems in this country without being called a racist or xenophobe. That is a label that is impossible to shake because all is you can pretty much say is that you have black friends, lol.

I think if a new cultural element evolves in which the racism accusation becomes more marginalized, we would all be surprised by how many conservatives come out and voice themselves more in blue states.
