The left was thrown for a loop last night, when one of their own, (they think EVERYONE in Hollywood is one of their own), had the temerity to come out on stage in front of a national audience and express his unvarnished opinion about President Obama.
The mystery speaker for the closing night of the GOP convention in Tampa, is now only a mystery to those unsophisticated, humorless pundits on the left.
Clint Eastwood came out on stage at the Republican National Convention last night, in front of millions and had a conversation with an empty chair. The chair sitting next to him on the dais, (thats a stage for those on the left) is a common prop used in one man shows in comedy routines as well as lectures and speeches.
Of course for most of those in the Tampa audience and those who have the mental acuity to know these things, the empty chair (with a teleprompter in front of it) had an imaginary President Obama sitting in it. To many in the US, it is symbolic of President Obamas leadership. He hasnt had a budget in 3 years, played more golf than any sitting president in history, but met only once with his council of economic advisers, even though the economy is in dire shape.
But there was a teachable moment which put the spotlight on how some subtleties escape the left. Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton , in a post convention wrap up. criticized Clints performance. Calling it a bizarre performance, saying Clint had lost it and they shouldnt allow an 82 year old out on stage. It was almost hysterical to listen to them Hey you little whiners isnt that age discrimination?
But of course they were extremely sensitive and aware of any perceived slight that Clint might direct towards any of their herd of sacred cows, bending themselves into pretzel like contortions to find any slight, imaginary or real.
Eastwood said to the audience, we own this country, the politicians are our employees and when they dont do their job, we fire them.
Now this really got their liberal panties in a wad and one of the hapless trio saw an entitlement mentality message wrapped up in what Clint said .At that point I was actually laughing out loud with incredulity and wondering just who actually watches MSNBC and believes anything emanating from it My teachable moment was: I actually understood why many in the media refer to MSNBC as MSLSD.
Of course Clint meant that all American citizens own this country, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, etc. and we deserve the best When we dont get it, it is time to make a change .If thats an entitlement mentality, then I want more of it on a massive scale.
Eastwood, praised Romney as a "stellar businessman. Referring to Obama saying it's never a good idea for attorneys to be president. They are always devil's advocating this and bifurcating this and bifurcating that. But, I think it is maybe time -- what do you think -- for a businessman. How about that? A stellar businessman... And I think it's that time. And I think if you just step aside, Mr. Romney can take over. You can maybe still use the plane.
Of course Eastwood threw away the subtlety and used a sledge hammer a few times like when he said Joe Biden was the intellect of the Democrat Party.
How, in just a few months, can Clint Eastwood slip from hero down to zero for the left? They were hailing him as a genius and a hero when he narrated the GM/Obama Super Bowlcommercial extolling the benefits of having a Government Motors.
This morning the cacophony from the left is making my ears bleed as they find ways to criticize Clint Eastwoods ad lib performance The more they criticize, the more they reveal their ignorance Go ahead, "make my day."
But the noise on the left is also a smokescreen to hide the fact that speaker after speaker on the RNC stage last night, was a superstar of intellect and accomplishment.....Leading up to to a masterful acceptance speech by Governor Romney.
“One of the most overlooked subtleties was his parody of The Greatest Orator In All Historys egregious speech patterns.”
You know, during his speech I couldn’t understand why Clint was laboring to speak clearly. I just figured that it was because he is 82 years old. It didn’t dawn on me, until I read your post, that he was mocking Bozo’s brutal speech pattern! That is brilliant, fantastic and hysterical!! Thanks for pointing that out!
Thank you Clint !!!!
Yes, America will have a choice in November... Vote for eviction!
Thought it was Jimmy Stewart Harvey inspired.
SO.... long story short, Eastwood went out and mimicked Obama, and the Lefties thought Eastwood acted like he was demented. Am I right ?
If you want a good laugh, checkout the twitter tag #insertchair , it’s a howl and it’s updating really fast.
Great Find!
It’s funny how easily embarrassed Dale Jackson is. He’s like a teenage girl who’s on a hair trigger to be embarrassed by her parents. It’s just like him to throw Eastwood under the bus because his performance was a little unconventional.
Clint Eastwood did more for the Republican party in those few minutes than they have done for themselves in just about any category you can name. The man is a master craftsman and that was just genius having some fun.
Either Fox just missed it when their bias got in the way or they have to quietly criticize the prime time smack down of obama or else.
Gotta toe the line to keep that license? Or were they offended just like Juan Williams?
Thought it was Jimmy Stewart Harvey inspired.
Undeniably so:

yes, it was brilliant ...mainly because he was imitating Obama’a own inner anger which so many of the leftists have. really funny way to bring that out!
I had fun watching him but couldn’t forget him being pro-gay marriage, his global warming beliefs, and pro-choice stance. Kinda like Romney I guess so they are a perfect fit.
What picture did obama post? Missed that one.
Obama’s handlers posted at 1230 that night Obama in a chair that said POTUS.
What picture did obama post? Missed that one.
*President Barack Obama or at least someone in his camp tweeted a response to Clint Eastwoods mocking of him with an interesting, cheeky response. This chair is taken, said the tweet that came with a picture of himself in a chair
After all, they can't complain about us using 0's picture as it was they who provided it. :^)
I think Obama’s pauses are for him to get his feed from Satan.
Thanks for those; reposted to Facebook, and emailed to my list.
