Clint Eastwood Speech Crazy or Fantastic ?

reply to post by intrepid


Is he sane?

Talking to a chair?

Couldn't they have trotted out Bobby Jindal? Someone sharper than Clint? Hell, even Sarah Palin would have made more sense than that claptrap speech of Clint's.

Ah yes, I have seen commercials for it. Looks to be quite riveting.

It has grossed over $13 Million !

It's doing so well that more theaters are showing it .

Clint is an ACTOR, why is he speaking at a political convention?

Are you serious? Do you try to look stupid? Ever seen any actors at Democrat conventions or making over the top adds in support of Democrats?

I would just love to see an example of anything from any DNC that is is anywhere near as crazy.
Unless you are trying to look stupid?

Oh you'll get a chance don't worry. Sandra Fluke will stand up and tell the whole country that they are obligated to pay for her contraceptives. In fact she will represent the entire radical outlook of this admin that says that free contraceptives are more valuable than life itself and that someone else is obligated to pay for it. It also represents the goals of the UN Agenda 21.

I'm quite certain that the very people who think Clint's speech was a disaster for the RNC, would otherwise think how he was completely meaningless had he executed a more traditional approach.

Too funny how many hernias Clint created in his unscripted twelve minutes.

Getting off-topic here.

Though it does seem that Republicans are against celebrity endorsements unless it's their own celebrity endorsements.

Hypocrisy is fun.

That will be hilarious! Sandra Fluke is a loser.

Bill O'Reilly busted Juan Williams a few days ago.

O'Reilly: Juan if you were walking down the street in Washington DC and Sandra Fluke

came running up to you and asked you for $100 to pay for her birth control for 6 months

would you give her the $100 ?

Juan Williams Answer: " No. "

Obama has been the one promoting higher taxes, and all the talking points of the Democrat Party(I refuse to call it the DemocratIC Party because they are trying to make it sound better than it is). and you are saying Republicans are going to bring higher taxes?
I think you need to get out more maybe.

Are you calling Sandra Fluke a celebrity? It's the left here bashing Clint, remember that. NARAL isn't a celebrity either, it's a radical feminist lobby. Oh wait, I thought lobbyists are bad? Occupy is scheduled to go to the DNC so maybe they will protest NARAL too.....not holding my breath though.

Edit: but Ellen Barkin is a celebrity and she was hoping the hurricane would kill off all the RNC attendees.

It's called performance art. Clint is an artist.

Awkward, stilted,rambling and nonsensical.

Ron Paul, his delegates and supporters get the shaft at the RNC,but Clint gets to growl at an empty chair?

Still love Clints work as a director and actor though.

Why is everyone tripping the guy did a great job. He's an actor with nothing to lose as demonstrated and he was entertaining and got everyone talking about the RNC. I think many people started to dream about clint for prez or voting for Ron Paul.

The only thing I didnt like is Al Sharpton criticzing him - I can't wait until the day when I can call that guy an ahole and not be considered racist by default.

It doesn't matter whether you vote republican or democrat, both doors lead to the same slaughterhouse. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, with the amount of information available, that some people still believe in the false dichotomy principle of the two (or three) party system. If I need to get out more, you must be living in a cave. At least I have done the research and I see the system for what it is; a construct to give the masses the illusion of choice while those in power do exactly what they want with legalized impunity. Sorry if I am a bit of cynic, but working on and/or controlling military, government and university research programs/projects for a large number of years and witnessing the corruption in tax/public funds frauds as well as illegal arms deals, in most cases first hand, has made me a little more than cynical and callous towards this system (and there's even more criminal activity I have witnessed and whistleblown on).

Both Romney and Obama are scumbags and the US will get what it paid for in the corporate purchase of these meat puppets and apparently what it deserves. I feel a sense of pity for what the US is about to experience, what we all are actually, when this house of cards comes crashing down.

Dems and Reps dont really have the mental capacity to recognize Eastwoods genius in that little stage play. Its disheartening how dumbed down the American populace has become.

Who cares, the whole extravaganza is a circus, is a pathetic joke. If the system doesn't make room for a third party, the USA is toast, with special corporate jam on top.

I think many who watched did see the genius of it...

It's the partisans and talking heads that can't seem to figure out how to deal with what he did. You can hear their muscles strain and ligaments snap even from the comfort of your own home.

Very entertaining...

The empty suit and empty chair analogy is simply brilliant.

He's bringing higher taxes to rich people which everyone(that isn't rich) should be in favor because it will help this country.

I would argue that many people who are upholding it as some work of art would have panned it if it was at any other venue. It was in no way a great stage play. Clint Eastwood has shown his genius as a director, but ad-libbing appears not to be his strong point.

You mean the RNC carted out Clint Eastwood to try and win my vote? Well, didn't work. But I still love me some Clint. I just don't like crazed right wing nuts.
