Influential filmmaker and philanthropist Steven Spielberg today announced that he is officially endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. Spielberg said that he has chosen to endorse Clinton because of her experience and strength.
“I’ve taken the time to familiarize myself with the impressive field of Democratic candidates and am convinced that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate to lead us from her first day in the White House,” Spielberg said. “Hillary is a strong leader and is respected the world over. As president, she will bring America back together, rebuild our prestige abroad and ensure our protection here at home.”
In addition to his innumerable cinematic achievements, Spielberg has devoted his time and resources to many philanthropic causes. The impact of his experience making Schindler’s List,” led him to establish the Righteous Persons Foundation using all his profits from the film. He also founded Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, which has recorded more than 52,000 Holocaust survivor testimonies. Spielberg executive produced “The Last Days,” the Shoah Foundation’s third documentary, which won the Academy Award® in 1999 for Best Documentary Feature. In 2005, the Foundation’s repository of testimonies was transferred to the University of Southern California. The new USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education is dedicated to research and scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, Spielberg is the chairman emeritus of the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, which combines the efforts of pediatric health care, technology and entertainment to empower seriously ill children.
Spielberg is a principal partner of DreamWorks Studios, responsible for some of the most honored films in recent years, including three consecutive Best Picture Academy Award® winners: “American Beauty,” “Gladiator,” and “A Beautiful Mind” (the latter two co-productions with Universal). One of the industry’s most successful and influential filmmakers, Spielberg has directed, produced, or executive produced some of the top-grossing films of all time, including “Jurassic Park” and “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.” Among his myriad honors, he is a three-time Academy Award® winner, earning two Oscars® for Best Director and Best Picture for “Schindler’s List,” and a third Oscar® for Best Director for “Saving Private Ryan.”
I am shocked, stunned AND amazed!! ;>)
Now, if there was any doubt, whatsoever, that Senator Clinton is a real, honest-to-God liberal, this act dispels that doubt.
Hollywood. Geez, what a collection of meatheads.
I wish ET would take “her” with him back to where ever he came from. Let “her” pollute some other part of the galaxy.
Boy, you know Hillary has been grinding his nuts ever since Geffin went off the reservation. “No mas, no mas”, cried Spielberg!
Yeah right, I would feel so much more secure from the Islamofascists with the leftist/commie/socialist PIAPS in charge.
I haven’t liked Spielberg in a very long time. Five minutes into E.T., I was gagging from the treacle and saccharine. Nothing is too corny, sentimental, contrived, pretentious and affected for Spielberg.
Another political dim bulb celebrity. You would think being Jewish he would have enough sense or at least a desire of self-preservation to comprehend the threat of Islamofascism.
I guess it will take a Islamic nuke in LA to wake this idiot up. It will a little too late then.
Isn't historical knowledge of the Holocaust enough of a reminder to some Jews to make them aware of the danger of Islam, sworn to wipe Israel and the Jews off the face of the earth.
I don’t get it. I just don’t get cultural suicide.
“she will bring America back together” Presumably he means America is “apart” because of the war. Thus she will bring home the troops. Yay, we are back together. Then the terrorists will get back together, Iraq will become a hellhole of Jihidi influence, spreading evetually back to us.
What did Spielberg do with the guns in Close Encouters? (I have not seen the re-release.)
Steven, what have you been smoking? With Hillary's "bunker mentality" she'll be poking a stick at the 'Vast Rightwing Conspiracy' every chance she gets.
Thank God!!!
That scene at the end where Dreyfuss whips out that 1911 and plugs the “queen” alien right through the noggin, PRICELESS.
He really gave those dirty bastard aliens the “what for”.
Serves the dirty kidnappers right.
The arrogance of these Hollywood types never ceases to amaze me. Last time I checked, his opinion and his vote count exactly the same as mine. Perhaps I should send out a press release declaring my support for Fred Thompson.
Spielberg should stick to making movies and STFU.
If memory serves...it was in ET. HE turned the agent’s guns into cell phones, or something harmless like that, in the re-release.
I corrected myself to E.T. He digitally removed the guns and substituted walkie talkies.
He likes Castro too!
Steven Spielberg: putting guns down the memory hole. He and Hillary were made for each other!
Ya gotta love it - you’d think this Hollyfruit jackasses would have learned by now. We don’t give a #$%^ WHAT they think!!
But no, anything to make themselves think they have relevance. Shut up, Speilberg. Shut up, Geffen. Shut UP, Babs. America ISN’T listening.
