Anne Hathaway Puts Obama on the Spot Over 'Hate Preacher'
UK First Post ^ | 1/8/09

Posted on 01/08/2009 10:34:03 AM PST by lewisglad

Anne Hathaway, who is currently promoting two movies, a serious-ish family melodrama Rachel Getting Married, for which she is being tipped for an Oscar nomination, and a knockabout comedy called Bride Wars, has expressed some uncertainty about Barack Obama. Her gripe is over the President-elect's decision to allow Pastor Rick Warren, a fundamentalist Christian described by some as a "hate preacher", to deliver one of the invocation speeches at his inauguration on January 20. "I expect him to explain that choice of Rick Warren," says the 26-year-old, Vassar-educated actress (pictured). "I don't get it. All my friends and I were trying to figure it out, but we just can't"…………

Rabid:”Guess Vassar’s churning out idiots these days.”

The sad part is that this wrong thinking is probably a result of attending Vassar and other liberal institutions of “higher” learning.

I suspect she might have been almost normal beforehand...

Although she has also been tainted by the Hollywood crowd and the peer pressures of that ilk.

I don’t get it, either. I don’t particularly care for Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven stuff, but he is absolutely not a “hate preacher”. Anne needs to act, show us her boobs, not talk.

"You hit it."

I would hit it.
But I didn't.
I wish I had.
But I can't.
I'm married, with children.

“Too bad... I really liked Ann... Too much to expect for a beautiful actress to actually have a clue...”

My feelings exactly. She is one of the few natural beauties in today’s Hollywood. Hate to see her pretty head corrupted by leftist thought.

remember how that whole comming out worked for Anne Heche just before the release of her movie opposit Harrison Ford.

Makes one wonder if this “Two Bride” movie she has comming out is just a metaphore for two lesbians getting married and it is just a disgused BS story of what happens which a wedding is two crazy women.

Hollyweird is in indoctrination overdrive over the whole california marriage amendment shock. They thought they had the fix in.

Anne's brother actually is gay and that probably accounts for a lot of what she says here.

As for the rumors, who knows and who cares? That kind of entirely unsourced thing can be completely fabricated.

It ought to be enough to say that she doesn't know what she's talking about when it comes to politics and other weighty questions and leave it at that. Us talking about things that we don't know about either doesn't add anything or rebut her.

I'll have you know Rahm Emanuel graduated from Vassar
and he dances ballet.

Apparently the women on the left just can’t figure out when they have been used?

Exactly, I predict there will be a lot more gay-brainwashing movies like ‘Milk’ since Prop 8 enraged the Hollywood community so.

I matters A WHOLE LOT when you have impressionable children watching Princess Diaries and Ella Enchanted.

The old studies had it right. Actors and Actresses are public role models and their conduct MATTERS.

Her diaries co-star is out and is a militant. (her own words)

It is sad to say but her movies are in the circular filing cabinet.

I thought this was going to be about Wright. I find her unwatchable, but hold out hope that the Rachel/Wedding film will be redeeming.

no it will not be.

It is a thinly veiled two bides getting married to each other implication.

I bet the original treatment was to be about two crazy brides getting married to each other. It was probably reworked into the current effort to flog popcorn and dvd’s.

It does not matter, just like the dixie chix, this idiocy should not be rewarded or encouraged.

Very interesting and perhaps that’s why it didn’t come to my the theaters in my local area. I thought it was about a young woman fresh out of rehab with a dysfunctional family.

I was refering to the two bride movie.

I figured the “serious” one was the usual nonsense of a low release serious movie which NOBODY wants to see in order to get teh oscar “buzz” then general release after they finegle an oscar nod.

Kind predictable the way they manipulate the oscars for profit.

I bet they were counting on the public being oblivious to her left wing nuttyness.

After this fiasco, her bankability should be in the enron range.

I thought I got the memo saying that we’re all coming together with the majority Dems to “make happy things happen”. In which case the left wing will continue to rule Hollywood as well as the government.

Who can ever hear the name “Hathaway” and not think of Miss Jane?

Thanks for the pic!
