Hustle and Flow” actor Terrence Howard came to Washington last week and revealed to Green and Glover some political views that deviated sharply from the usual Hollywood groupthink.As if that wasn’t politically incorrect enough, the suave, soft-spoken Oscar nominee went on to say: “I don’t think President Obama has been that revolutionary in reaching out to ethnic communities. President Reagan did a lot for the black community that people don’t realize.”

For the most part blacks refuse to admit that republicans care more for their wellbeing than democrats.
Dems only want them on the plantation as a reliable vote, never delivering anything they’ve promised.
He’s got the Iron Man franchise working for him, he’ll be okay. But I get the point.
Wow, I like the guy even more now, he was already one of my favorite actors.
Don Cheadle is playing that part now.
Yep - No more Terrence Howard. Personally, I don’t care much for Chedle - a bit to smarmy for my tastes.
Good for this guy for speaking the truth.
Did you catch this bit on the site:
‘Wilson watch’
“The Four Seasons Hotel was hopping last night! Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry dined at Bourbon Steak while “Wedding Crashers” actor Owen Wilson sat on a sofa at the bar.”
(snip)
“At about 9:30 p.m., Mr. Kerry whisked past the bar without noticing that he was in the presence of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Perhaps Mr. Wilson found it refreshing to be ignored for a change.”
LOL..Kerry is such an ass. He physically ran into my son in a Georgetown bar once and didn’t say excuse me or even acknowledge that he had run into him. My son said he wanted to punch his lights out. Sometimes the impish side in me wishes he had done just that....LOL
If he's held these views for a while, and mentioned them to anyone, it could explain why he was dropped from "Ironman 2."
I hope not. It's wrong for anyone to lose their job over their political views, no matter what they are... With the exception of politicians.

Actually, the producers replaced him with Don Cheadle for "Ironman 2."

Robert Downey Jr. is a conservative. I doubt Terrance lost his job due to his political view.
Wow, did not know that. Thanks for the update.
Actually the reason is because Terrence was the first person cast for IM, even before Downey, and ended up locking in more money that anyone else in the film. He was too expensive to keep for the sequel.
“I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since.” - Robert Downey Jr.
After his suicide attempt in 07, Owen Wilson asked for privacy from the collective media, and it was granted unconditionally apparently.... because you don’t see his name anywhere in the media.
And Mickey Roarke is as well! Scarlett Johansson OTOH is a big-time Dim.
Is she in the next iron man?
Maybe it’s taken the current CIC (Clown In Chief) to make Americans (and perhaps the world at large) realize that Ronald Reagan did A LOT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE!
No, she plays the villian’s (Mickey Roarke’s) girlfriend in Iron Man 2.
There are reports of her and Gwynneth Paltrow not getting along on the set. Imagine that, 2 liberal cats fighting.
right...imagine that :|
I loved the first IM. I hope the 2nd doesn’t go to hell in a hand basket like most sequels do.
