Tom Hanks, Executive Producer for HBO’s controversial polygamist series “Big Love,” made his feelings toward the Mormon Church’s involvement in California's Prop 8 (which prohibits gay marriage) very clear at the show’s premiere party on Wednesday night.

I wish that Tom could see these comments so he can be made aware of what real Americans think about him. And there is a great point being made here... Why are the celebrities so afraid to say that the black community is un-American for voting for prop-8? That would be taking it to far I guess huh? That would make them blacklisted faster than saying that they conservatives. Look, if you airhead actors and actresses have an opinion on something, have the backbone to go all the way with it you cowards!

Well apparently polygamy is OK now for libs. During the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City making fun of Mormons and polygamy was in but apparently is now out.

What Hanks doesn't say is that Mormons may have donated a good chunk of change to support Prop. 8 but they were not the only ones to. And of course as a total of the number of voters that voted for Prop 8 they were a miniscule number.

Absolutely! A possible latter-day Jimmy Stewart (maybe, on a good day) has become Sean Penn without the punching of photographers.

“A possible latter-day Jimmy Stewart . . .”

Funny you should mention him. Jimmy Stewart liked us Mormons. He gave all his memorabilia to BYU because he knew we Mormons would take good care of it.

Wasn't he one of the boobs on Bosom Buddies?

Wasn't he the star of Bachelor Party?

WHAT standing does he have to say ANYTHING of any importance?

When can Tom Hanks be expected to denounce the leadership of Harry Reid, Mormon.

Tom, you know what’s un-American?

An American elected official getting up in public and telling his city, his state, his nation, the world, “The door’s wide open now! It’s gonna happen! Whether ya like it or not!”

THAT’S un-American.

People, especially elected officials, not accepting the fair, open vote of the people, and harassing to the point of violence people who peacefully campaigned to change the law.

THAT’S un-American.

But when a majority of the voters of California told people like Gavin Newsom “Maybe someday, sunshine, but not THIS day!”, THAT, Tom, old buddy, is as American as...well...a Tom Hanks comedy.

Who will be first to post a photo from Tom’s “Bosom Buddies” days? :)

I'm not the first, but this IS a picture from Tom's "Bosom Buddy" days, just of the easier on the eyes Donna Dixon.

Hollywood - home of gay activist McCarthyism and blacklisting.

Tom Hanks, Executive Producer for HBO’s controversial polygamist series “Big Love,”

Wonder when Tom will look at islam...4 wives, sex slaves, raping of infidels, EXECUTIONS OF HOMOSEXUALS...

Exactly. Not to mention pedophilia.

It looks like Hollywood (Hanks in particular) is targeting and demonizing Mormons just like the Catholics and Conservative Protestant churches have been targeted, ridiculed and demonized by Hollywood and the MSM over the years. Tom Hanks' whole point in being involved in this new "program" as Executive Producer seems to reflect an extreme leftist agenda.

Thanks!

Mr. Hanks and his pals are the Un-Americans in my eyes. Their skewed view of how my life should be is what is Un-American. He was dumped from our videos a long long time ago.

Guess you don’t want Mormons to go to your movies, eh, Tom? And here I thought their money was as good as everybody else’s!

[Army Air Corps]

No need to thank me for anything. Thank my relatives and their friends in whose honour I chose my FR screen name.

Then, our Founders were “unAmerican” as each one thought homosexual sodomy was crime worthy of severe punishment.
