Clint Eastwood

[Pseudofool]

Did anyone just see Eastwood speak at the RNC? Was it totally weird or am I missing something?

[cutthemdown]

He's always been a little out there, but people love him.

[manchambo]

Totally weird, and generally ineffective I would say. Easily the worst speaker they've trotted out.

And joking twice that the president told someone to **** themselves? Just not a proper tone for a political convention, and not an appropriate amount of respect to the POTUS.

[peacepipe]

complete flop. I'm not sure he hurt romney with his speech but he sure didn't help himself. I used to think pretty highly of him until now.

[Kid A]

Incredible. Made sitting through the rest of the RNC worth it. Media members at the convention were on Twitter saying the Romney handlers were visibly squirming through the entire insane, stream-of-conscious performance. How could a campaign this tightly scripted let this slip through? And then him making the crowd cheer about withdrawing from Afghanistan or something? So surreal, wish it had gone for another 10 minutes?

On another note, can you even imagine the FOX/media backlash if the DNC put a ****ing actor like, say, George Clooney in the 3rd biggest speaking slot of their final night? On the party's biggest stage, when they want to make their most serious case to the country for why they should lead it, they trot out a celebrity actor for an unscripted comedy routine?

[Arkie]

I use to think pretty highly of Dirty Harry until he produced and directed The Bridges of Madison County.

[peacepipe]

LOL also another thing is network TV didn't start,as with the whole convention,until 10 pm. they moved a pretty good intro video to before 10:00 so that eastwood could get that time slot. instead of most americans seeing a very good intro video of romney they saw eastwood.

[spdirty]

I figured it out. That one was for all the old people. Told my dad I didn't like it and why I didn't like it the reply from him was "He's Clint Eastwood he can ramble all he wants. You didn't watch his movies so you can't say sh it about him. Go **** yourself."

So just a word of advice to anyone here. Don't rip the Eastwood speech if you're around old people.

That's hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

[Pseudofool]

The truth is this is bad, bad for Romney. 1) All any will be talking about is Clint Eastwood tomorrow not Mitt Romney. 2) It shows ineptitude and even indecency to let Clint Eastwood work the 10pm slot.

[manchambo]

Ari Fleischer reported that Clint had a speech written but decided to trash it and do that instead. I think it will go down as one of the stranger moments in convention history. It won't particularly hurt Romney of course, because he came out and gave a very statesman-like performance.

[cutthemdown]

Its not bad to have people talking about Clint's speech being strange. It won't be a big deal on how people vote.

[Deebs]

The left has the lion's share of celebrities that speak out in support of them. When the right wants a Hollywood endorsement, they pretty much have to go to Clint, Bruce Willis, or Kelsey Grammar.

[elsid13]

Remember when Eastwood got slammed by the right for that Chrysler ad during the superbowl? ****ing dweebs

[Kid A]

The left has the lion's share of celebrities that speak out in support of them. When the right wants a Hollywood endorsement, they pretty much have to go to Clint, Bruce Willis, or Kelsey Grammar.

But the left, I think, has enough experience exploiting those ego cases to know how to use them. Fundraisers, magazine interviews? Sure. 10pm speaking slot on your party's biggest night? Well, don't act shocked when someone who has been an actor their entire life decides to make those 20 minutes all about themselves, ignoring every single policy talking point the convention organizers likely asked for/or to avoid, and makes a joke of the proceedings he never took as seriously as they would want.

If you've got a celebrity endorsement speech that bombs in prime time due to not thinking through what could go wrong, you built that.

Ari Fleischer - that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

One of the few remaining associates of the Bush Crime Family who actually has the nerve to show his face in public, eh?

Yeah, the right-wingers were trying to claim it was some sort of subliminal add for Obama despite the fact that Eastwood is known to be a long-time conservative.

[Requiem]

Romney's advisors were wincing the whole time. Fail.

[barryr]

Most of Hollywood votes democrat every time no matter who it is, so finding someone there who doesn't do that is odd. At least one willing to make it public, which only established "stars" can get away with it. An actor/actress with little fanfare at the time were to try that and they get blacklisted by the liberals of Hollywood. Tolerance and open-mindedness are reserved for everybody else, not for liberals where practicing what one preaches is a foreign concept.

[spdirty]

Well now he's giving me the silent treatment. Gonna have to buy the good,bad,ugly ringtone and put it on his phone to try and get him off his little toot.

[Pony Boy]

Well the liberal-loons can always bring out the Hollywood Big Guns and if Susan Sarandon can't kick Clint Eastwoods ass they can always rely on Rosie O'Donnell.

I loved the commercial. People looking for controversy will make it up if they can't find it.

[Miss I.]

Didn't see the speech so don't have anything to add to that, but didn't Clint used to be the mayor of Carmel or something? So he does sort of have political ties I guess. It could be worse, they could've trotted out Schwarzenegger I suppose who I would imagine might not be the best celebrity-politician to trot out right now.

[Miss I.]

Okay, watched the video. Clint is a great director and actor when it comes to fiction. He should not go off script for speeches like this. It became a meandering stream of consciousness full of odd talking to chair bits and wrong statistics. There are a lot of other celebrity republicans who would've done better, Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis come to mind.

[ludo21]

it was funny.

Was it the time for this kind of act? Probably not, but funny and made the Convention memorable at least.

[Paladin]

They could have had Dubya in that slot. Could have given a medly of his greatest "bushisms." Now that's pure comedy.

[Play2win]

Eastwood's ties to the GOP go directly through the NRA.

Eastwood was in the Army, and a plane he was being transported in crashed over the Pacific Ocean. He survived, by swimming to shore carrying his superior officer the whole way.

Old people are incredibly defensive and sensitive when it comes to Clint Eastwood. Talked to my grandma today, she thought he was great, understood all the jokes, just loved him. Thought he was the best part of the whole damn thing. Had I given her my honest opinion of it I'd have probably gotten a frying pan to the skull.

Other grandparents, same thing. They actually repeated the jokes and laughed to themselves. Said they thought he should be president.

There's just something about him, I mean I think he's a badass in his movies, but to some people he's reached some kind of Chuck Norris/Tedy Brushi status where he can do no wrong. He could go up there, shlt his pants, blame Obama for it, and old people will take his side. Just how it is.

But Clint himself I think has reached a point in his life where, if you give him a stage, he'll say what he's gonna say, he'll deliver however he wants to deliver it, and if you don't like it you can go **** yourself. I think that's pretty cool.

I watched it again tonight, honestly I think that had he taken the empty chair bit away it would've been OK. Not great but OK. But whatever it is what it is. No real harm done.

I'd honestly rather have Clint Eastwood come up right before the candidate and say whatever is on his mind than Joe Biden. And because Obama is having Uncle Joe go up there right before him it'll all even itself out.

I like Clint, and I've enjoyed his films over the years, but how sad is it for the GOP ticket that Eastwood upstaged the nominee by talking to a chair?

Isn't anything unusual. Just off the top of my head Reagan upstaged goldy in '64, Obama upstaged Kerry and Miller upstaged bush in '04, everyone upstaged McCain in'08.

And of all the speeches I've seen I'd say Rubio had the best of the entire convention, while Romney did a pretty good job himself.

Next week I'm pretty interested to see Clinton as well as see what kind of crazy **** Biden says while introducing Obama.

[Bacchus]

Wow, that is just sad and pathetic. Poor Clint, well, the good thing is that I'm sure he does not remember is and is wondering how the hell he got in Florida.

He doesn't even know the facts. I won't say he lied like Ryan he is just woefully mis-informed.

Romney not only wants troops in Afganistan he has talked about military intervention in both Iran and Syria

Biden is sometimes a loose cannon with his off the cuff remarks, but at the convention he'll be giving a prepared speech. He's pretty good with the prepared stuff. So I think you're going to be disappointed.

The Real Clint Eastwood – the antithesis of the GOP platform

http://samuel-warde.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Clint-Eastwood-GOP-denies-300x141.jpg (http://samuel-warde.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Clint-Eastwood-GOP-denies.jpg)

Aside from all the buzz (http://samuel-warde.com/2012/08/celebrities-speak-out-clint-eastwoods-empty-chair-speech/) surrounding Clint Eastwood’s empty chair speech, the GOP could have done a lot better than Clint Eastwood to act as their “Star Headliner” at their recent national convention in Tampa.

Although Eastwood has historically backed Republican politicians beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and continuing with both Nixon campaigns, Ronald Reagan, John McCain and most recently Mitt Romney. However, if one looks to his position on the issues, Eastwood’s politics tends more often than not to be diametrically opposed to that of the official Republican National Platform (http://www.gop.com/2012-republican-platform_home/).

Here are but a few of the areas where he differs from the Republicans:


Eastwood is pro- choice in word and deeds with Sandra Locke having 2 abortions and a tubal ligation within the first four years of their adulterous relationship. [1][2]
Eastwood advocates gay marriage. [3][4] In an interview with GQ (http://samuel-warde.com/topic/GQ) magazine, Eastwood criticised the Republican Party for its stance on gay marriage, saying “These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don’t give a **** about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of. They go on and on with all this bull**** about ‘sanctity’ — don’t give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”
Eastwoods supports gun control measures such as California’s Brady Bill. [5]
Eastwood contributed to groups supporting the Equal Rights Amendment, which failed in 1982. [5]
Eastwood is anti-war disapproving of America’s wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Source (http://samuel-warde.com/2012/09/the-real-clint-eastwood-the-antithesis-of-the-gop-platform/Palmer,%20Martyn%20%28January%2017,%202011%29.%20% 22%27A%20school%20reunion?%20It%20would%20be%20poi ntless.%20There%20wouldn%27t%20be%20anybody%20ther e%27:%20Clint%20Eastwood%20at%2080%22.%20Daily%20M ail%20%28London%29.%20Retrieved%20August%2025,%202 012.)
Eastwood is a self-professed “liberal on civil rights”. [7]
Eastwoods does not support reliance on welfare, however, he supports “unemployment insurance and bail-outs for homeowners saddled with unaffordable mortgages” [5]
When it comes to environmental issues he supports electric and hybrid cars, environmental conservation, land preservation, and alternative energy. [5]

When it comes to his personal life,


Eastwood has been characterized as a “serial womanizer” having had at least 7 children by 5 different women. [8][9]
Eastwood has had affairs with actresses Catherine Deneuve, Jill Banner, Jamie Rose, Inger Stevens, Jo Ann Harris, Jean Seberg, script analyst Megan Rose, James Brolin’s former wife Jane, columnist Bridget Byrne, and swimming champion Anita Lhoest. [10][11]
Eastwood lived with Sandra Locke for fourteen years, despite the fact that Locke remained married (in name only) to her gay husband, Gordon Anderson. [1][12]

It was probably written in his contract, i.e., "stick to attacking the president."

Did anyone just see Eastwood speak at the RNC? Was it totally weird or am I missing something?

I did not see it -- but not weird at all

according to the account by Paul Craig Roberts.

Check out his latest --

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32356.htm

[mhgaffney]

Clint was speaking out against the war policy -- right in your face.

[mhgaffney]

Here's what PCR wrote about it:

One would also have thought that NPR and its pundits would have found Clint Eastwood’s speech a fascinating topic of discussion. Eastwood had a Republican National Committee approved speech, but discarded it. Instead, Eastwood stood beside an empty chair and pretended to be talking to Obama, but it could just as well have been Romney in the chair. By pretending to be talking to Obama, Eastwood made his points without eliciting boos from the Republican audience.

Not many in the Republican audience caught on, but there were some stony faces when Eastwood said “I haven’t cried that hard since I found out that there are 23 million unemployed people in this country.” More stony Republican faces when Eastwood showed his opposition to the Iraq and Afghan wars and asks the chair, “why don’t you just bring them [the troops] home tomorrow morning?” Those who thought he was digging at Obama cheered; those who realized he was criticizing hardline Republican positions were displeased.

[mhgaffney]

most of you did not get it.

[W*GS]

most of you did not get it.

When was America at its best, gaffe?

Pick a period.

Then tell us why.

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

L0L! Ha!

"If somebody is dumb enough to ask me to go to political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get," said Eastwood in an interview Tuesday with the television show "Extra" about the convention speech that won rave reviews, puzzled looks and slacked jaws.

Yep.

The right has been operating under the premise that Bush never existed.

It's amazing how these snakes in the grass who carried Bush's water for eight years can come in here every day with such sanctimonious attitudes and pretend to occupy some sort of moral high ground when criticizing Obama.

Even if every last criticism were true, it's utter hypocrisy coming from them.

These people live in a perpetual state of pathological denial, delusion and shamelessness.

How come all his war mongering neo-cons are working for Romney then?
