"Radio" Starring Ed Harris (Boycott Alert!)

PABAAH: Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood ^

[jonalvy44]

Of our president, Ed Harris had this to say:

"I haven’t even been drinking, but, at all, but, you know, being a man, I’ve got to say that we’ve got this guy in the White House who thinks he is a man, you know, who projects himself as a man because he has a certain masculinity, and he's a good old boy, and he used to drink, and he knows how to shoot a gun and how to drive a pickup truck, etcetera like that. That’s not the definition of a man, God Dammit!" --Ed Harris

[jonalvy44]

No money for Ed Harris...

[TrebleRebel]

Careful Ed, your insecurities are showing.....

[cwb]

This was so sad when I heard this because I've always loved Ed Harris as an actor. I had no idea he was this much of a bleeding-heart panzy.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

No, a man is really an effeminate PC idiot, who has spent his entire life pretending to be someone else and dancing around in tights.

I'm sure that he loathes 90% of all men. The question he must ask himself is why?

[al baby]

Yes me too But He did play john glenn in the right stuff
maybe it stuck

[JackDanielsOldNo7]

Who is Ed Harris? Seriously?

[YourAdHere]

These people must want their movies to fail. They have to know that if they spout drivel like this, we won't pay to see their movies!

[sarasota]

The film may outweigh his pathetic remarks because it features a young man with "disabilities" whom he embraces as part of the football squad, showing that there is a place for those individuals if we give them a chance.

[beezdotcom]

Maybe they suspect their movies are already about to fail, and so they do things like this so they'll have someone else to blame...

When film director Elia Kazan, who was so bold as to "name names" in the 50s, received a lifetime achievement Oscar, Harris and his wife were among those who sat silently during the standing ovation Kazan received.

Ed Harris Fan site, it seems.

[JFC]

darn darn darn... I was going to see that tomorrow night!

[LibWhacker]

Heck, he's been on every good Freeper's boycott list since this commie stunt with pals Nolte and Baldwin. And I'll bet a lot of Freepers had him pegged long before that.

and he knows how to shoot a gun and how to drive a pickup truck

Huh. Some definition of a "man". I know how to shoot a gun (own several, in fact), and know how to drive a pick-up truck (I used to own a 4x4 Ford) and I drink (wine). And I'm NOT a man (if I were, my husband would be quite surprised). What's Ed's problem, anyway?

[metalboy]

This Harris, he said this about Bush at a pro-abortion thing/rally if I remember. So let`s put this into perspective here; Ed is for killing American babies, but not terrorists. Does that about sum it up? Tell ya what Ed, ask a doctor to show you how to do an abortion, then let me see you do it when that 'fetus' is 8 months in the womb.

[Dr. Frank fan]

I'm not sure I was ever destined to see Radio anyway, but in any event I see nothing about that quote which leads me to believe I should boycott any Ed Harris movies.

Ed Harris is a very good actor who has been (usually) strong in many fine movies.

That quote is Ed Harris's opinion of George W. Bush. One may or may not agree with it (I happen to think that even if it's somewhat asinine, the implicit point about drinking and manhood is fine as far as it goes, although I also suspect that Bush would agree, being a recovering alcoholic himself). One may also object to the impolitic nature of making such remarks in a speech in a public forum. More generally, one may disagree with Ed Harris's political opinions in various ways (i.e. about abortion).

But that disagreement (with his opinions) and disapproval (of the impoliteness and rudeness with which he made this remark) do not add up to anything "unpatriotic" on Ed Harris's part nor does it make it "patriotic" to boycott his movie(s) in retaliation for him holding a negative opinion about the President.

Holding a negative opinion about the President is not, in and of itself, "unpatriotic". It's lame that I have to even say this.

[Cobra64]

Ed,

Nice haircut. Part your hair a little low, do ya?

[Huck]

Now you've done it. You'll be added to "the list." I threw my back out trying to boycott myself for not being right-thinking enough. One must be careful these days.

[Cobra64]

Tell ya what Ed, ask a doctor to show you how to do an abortion, then let me see you do it when that 'fetus' is 8 months in the womb.

That's no fun for Ed. He wants to see a partial-birth abortion.
