Tom Hanks Will Decide Who’s Un-American

It was two degrees this morning when I left Poca, West Virginia, for work at six. But that was not as cold as I felt after reading this at noon on the Fox News site: “Tom Hanks Says Mormon Supporters of Proposition 8 ‘Un-American’.”

Now I am willing to sacrifice my life, if necessary, to defend his right to spew whatever vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish remarks he may make.

But I also reserve my right to call his remarks vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish.

Readers can decide for themselves whether what he said is vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish.

In promoting a news series on HBO, Hanks said:

“The truth is this [his series] takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop 8 happen. There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here’s what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed and people can see who’s responsible and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting constitution and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let’s have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process.”

Excuse me, who died and put Tom Hanks in charge of deciding who is American and who is un-American?

Is he like a one-man Ellis Island who determines who can stay in this country?

Here's a better shot of Tom Hanks:

[AdaGray]

Another silly actor craving to be taken seriously.

[Blado]

Actors excel at emoting, as opposed to logical thinking. They’re good at feeling, not thinking.

And furthermore, rumor has it that Hanks wants to make and “honest gerbil” out of his playmates some day.

I like Big Hollywood bump.

Now that is bad when you don’t even want to get a pirated movie, I feel the same way. Going to movies now days is really tortue. I sat thru that Buttons movie and kept thinking is this thing going to ever end. Learned my lesson I am sticking to Netflix. Just finished Downfall, watched GoodBye Lenin, Sophie Scholl and now I am starting Centennial

Turns out,

FORREST really doesn’t “Know what LOVE is”..?

Liberals discriminate against conservatives. For that they are unAmerican.

[Noahs Rook]

I love the LDS Church response to Hanks:

“Expressing an opinion in a free and democratic society is as American as it gets.”

The left is so brazen now. The traitors who give aid and comfort to our terrorist enemies on a daily basis are now defining patriotism for us.

[Lancey Howard]

Tom Hanks is small.

Tom bought into the Liberal mentality long, long ago. Sad but not surprising.

Under the guise of the label of discrimination for those opposing gay marriage, these people will promote homosexuality by legalizing homosexual marriage.

It isn't about discrimination. It is about the legalization of a behavior that most people consider wrong. In America, freedom means the right to pursue good, not evil, and our laws are meant to protect that concept. Therefore, promoting homosexual marriage is unAmerican. Tom Hanks has it backwards.

Hanks coulda been a contenda........until he opened his mouth in public. What a pure Baffoooon. Ever since he did the Divinci Code he began his free-fall. Who cares? I don’t. He’s a hollow goofball now.
