Tom Hanks Says Mormon Supporters of Proposition 8 'Un-American' Friday, January 16, 2009 By Hollie McKay LOS ANGELES —

“The truth is this takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen,” he told Tarts. “There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them.

Dear Tom Hanks:

Please, please, please shut up!

I don’t hate you yet, but if you keep showing your political butt that may change.

How about the black supports of prop 8, Mr. Hanks? They un-American as well? Or are you afraid of being called a racist if you stopped being a hypocrite?

Ah yes, another sterling example of the old Hollywood axiom that goes like this: “I am famous, therefore, I am smart.”

Mr. Hanks is a lightweight in the acting world.

Ashame he can’t keep his yap shut.

I wonder if Mr. Hanks thinks the blacks opposed to Prop 8 are “un American”? An appropriate question for him on MLK day.

What did Tom Hanks say about the 60% or so of black Californians who suppoted Prop 8?

Nothing whatsoever?

What a brave, brave soul that Tom Hanks is...
