Posted By John Nolte On September 1, 2009 @ 10:22 am In Entertainment, Politics, film
In today’s L.A. Times director Oliver Stone discusses his upcoming documentary “South of the Border,” about the “warmhearted” Hugo Chavez. [emphasis added]:
Oliver Stone is shown warmly embracing Hugo Chávez, nibbling coca leaves with Evo Morales and gently teasing Cristina Elizabeth Fernández de Kirchner about how many pairs of shoes she owns. …

Suck eggs.
McCarthy was right.
Cast:
* Will Smith as "Benny", the mixed-race Manchurian Candidate running for President
* John Ratzenburger as "Moe", the bumbling, well-meaning, completely wrong, gaffe-prone VP
* Robert Downey, Jr as "Bahm", the Jewish political strategist who sends dead fish to political opponents
* Tom Cruise as the inventor of Astro-Turf political movements (reviving his type-cast roll in "Tropic Thunder") who has to edit out four-letter words before loading the Teleprompter for the candidate
* Omarosa Manigault Stallworth as Rochelle, the America-hating wife of the candidate
* Joe Pesci as "Jerry", the social gadfly, gay, drug provider who 'entertains' the candidate in a limo while the candidate held state office prior to running for President.
* Forest Whitaker as the mean spirited, America-hating, libertion-theology-based pastor of the candidate's church
* Jamie Foxx as the gay choir director mysteriously killed for "knowing too much" about the candidate's private life on the down-low
* Playing themsleves, many media anchors and talking heads will make cameo appearances as they transform from cheerleaders for the candidate to cheerleaders and propagandists for the President as he enters office. Several were screened to make sure their legs tingled well enough for the big screen
Coming to you, hopefully before the 2012 election cycle.
Dang right, he was.
Yeah Oliver Stone is quite typical of all Hollywood filmmakers /sarc
McCarthy was right.
_______________________________________________
My father said the EXACT same thing to me just a week ago.
He’s typical of all Communist propaganda peddlers.
He always been stoned he even stone on writing for Scarface LOL!
Bump!
I just go by what’s on the screen not what he does in his spare time. His film of Nixon was rather sympathetic to the man.
Reagan was too kind.
Stone Stone.
Here’s what I don’t get: how can these Hollywood types call themselves artists, when they support tyrants who jail writers and artists in their own country?
To each his own. “Entertainment” or not, I draw the line at filling the pockets of a Communist lying peddler.
“...sympathetic to the man...”? Big, hairy stinkin’ deal.
Borges, I got your “sympathy” for ya from Stone:
“I think he’s an extremely dynamic and charismatic figure. He’s open and warmhearted and big, and a fascinating character,” … ”But when I go back to the States I keep hearing these horror stories about ‘dictator,’ ‘bad guy,’ ‘menace to American society.’ I think the project started as something about the American media demonizing Latin leaders.”
“I’m rooting for [Hugo Chavez’s] Bolivarian movement,” he says. “I’m rooting for their independence because I think that America has a new role to play in this world, and that’s not of an oppressor, but that of a cooperative and, let’s call it equal, partner.”
Stone has been at it for decades. He’s not really typical of most American film artists. How much does he even care about repressive regimes anywhere? He doesn’t even speak out about pet causes of the Left like Darfur. He’s still stuck in his 1960s mentality about U.S. foreign policy.
Stone is certifiable.
Yeah. He’s a Leftist.
Well, I’d venture to go a little bit farther than Left.
Lest you forget, he’s producing a PRO-CHAVEZ documentary.
In Stone’s words:
“I think the project started as something about the American media demonizing Latin leaders.”
As if we need to “demonize” Latin leaders. Whose demonizing who?
