Why Is the FBI After Clint Eastwood?
E online ^ | October 10, 2011 | Ted Casablanca and Alyssa Toomey

Posted on 10/12/2011 6:56:54 PM PDT by re_tail20

In a very bizarre turn of events, it seems that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is all riled up over Clint Eastwood's latest movie, J. Edgar. Which, of course, stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the FBI's founding director, J. Edgar Hoover.

So when the bureau's not chasing down Scarlett Johansson's nude pics, it's all up in Clint's business! What's up with the FBI going all Hollywood these days?

Color us not surprised it has everything to do with Eastwood's portrayal of The Hoov. And remember we first criticized Clint for failing to make the character "gay-enough."

Now it seems the FBI is all peeved at C. for his "false" portrayal of J. Edgar's sexuality and, according to USA Today, even Assistant FBI Director Mike Kortan tried to persuade Eastwood from depicting Hoover's rumored relaysh with right-hand-man, Clyde Tolson:

"Vague rumors and fabrications have cropped up from time to time," Kortan said, "but there is no evidence in the historical record on this issue."

Well, duh, there's no evidence. The dude was infamous for digging up other's secrets! Ya really think he's going to keep a record of his, shall we say, indiscretions?

Secondly, do you think that J.Edgar Hoover—numbero uno—probably the most powerful man in the gov’t—would ever, EVER put himself into a position where he could be blackmailed??

I was going to check with Bill Clinton on that, but then I thought better of it.

Former FBI agent Gordon Liddy once said that he and other agents went through J. Edgar Hoover’s desk drawer shortly after Hoover’s death.

Liddy claimed there were photos of nude women in the desk drawer.

Agree. . .especially, when it comes to Leftist created ‘people scapes’. Not to say it is not true; but only thing we know for sure; is that Hoover’s life; like so many other of Leftest targets; has had a good share of ‘crafting’.

CIA, per it’s own MO and history; has it’s own multi-level stories, of course. All designed to confuse and protect the less-than-innocent; and/or to just serve an Agenda.

This is what government does—if it doesn’t like you and you don’t lick it’s boots, it crushes you.

“Let’s hope Clint doesn’t fag up the movie. No wonder DiCrapio signed on.”

Oh Clint has already don’t that by putting Dicrapio in the movie. I could think of about ten other actors I’d rather see play Hoover. Funny is it not that when the left wants to play down a hero they call him gay? Yet they call the rest of us homophobes?

getting a little hysterical, there, aren't you? Do you know anyone in that era who would have the cajones to blackmail Jedger? He was definitely not your garden variety panzie, and he had the dirt on everybody. He was a workaholic, every air tell that came in from the field was reviewed and initialed by him before it went to file. He had a specially made color of blue ink, only he used it. I have a lot of respect for the man, but a number of people recounted the cross-dresser stories to me. Get bent if you want to, makes no never mind to me.
