[Cincinatus' Wife]

The whine continued and wrapped up with - Eastwood helped the GOP.

Then more personal snipping from another unhappy liberal commentator.....

Clint Eastwood: Good, Bad & Ugly - Hey, at least Sondra Locke didn't show up ..........."Eastwood's own personal character arc is revelatory, and morally significant. He has morphed from nameless killer to persecuted urban warrior to elder statesman imparting an implicit message of peace, all in one lifetime.

The question now is, Who did the RNC minders think they were getting? The good, the badass, or the ugly?

Unwise ideas aside -- and, too, shades of Charlton Heston -- Clint Eastwood's appearance only serves to wonder how many shots they've got left.".............

Clint was apparently directly over the target.

I didn’t read that article as a whine, more like a relatively impartial analysis by an historian. BTW, the Telegraph (or ‘Torygraph’ as its sometimes known in Britain) is very much a conservative newspaper...

The mood of TV and movies is apocalyptic: zombies, natural disasters, alien invasions and Gotham aflame. They reflect the fear of decline that grips America,

Well at least America fears decline and at least the Conservatives wish to avoid it as opposed to Britain that for all intents and purposes has embraced its decline making it an export industry.

Maybe the kibitzers would have taken more kindly to Clint's performance if he had used an elaborate
stage set equiped with false Greek Columns; one that presented him in a more god-like fashion.

The level of reaction from the left and media is creepy. Clints Harvey skit was based in fact.

I think they are concerned More Hollywood figures will also voice concerns about Obama, so they have to deter them by bashing Clint.

The viral video clip is hitting an audience and that didn't watch convention. This is a big plus for GOP.

Clint actually found those little nodules obama calls balls and kicked them so hard they have fallen off... moochelle was furious... she had ordered barack castrated years ago.

Eastwood's speech got me thinking. He is not a conservative on most things. Not even close.

This was a career ending move. Now, at his age, that doesn't matter as much, but he will loose parts for it. He will also start to draw flak from the right for his liberal views on gays, abortion, etc.

I don't really know why he did it, other than he must REALLY hate Obamma

[Rapscallion]

Supporting our loyal ally Israel would a true conservative act of courage. Don’t expect such moral leadership from evil Obama.

If you begin to realize the Left is comprised of cults it makes more sense. Cults draw in members with promises of utopia, beat down its recruits with guilt and shame and mostly retains its members via fear.

. The hot talent of the time was Left-leaning, even hippie – Jane Fonda, Julie Christie, Warren Beatty.

Jane Fonda is a once proud Communist. Warren Beatty made Reds.

Can't speak of Julie Christie.

Communism sucks as much as Nazism. Liberal idiots need to wake up to reality.

[Brad from Tennessee]

I don’t know if it’s ironic or not but the Hollywood elite is everything they accuse conservatives of being—greedy, self-absorbed, stingy, ignorant, detached, biased, intolerant and delusional. Hollywood makes a big show of being compassionate to hide what they really are. Their biggest fear is of an L.A. riot that engulfs their posh enclaves.

[The Duke]

I’m concerned that Clint Eastwood might be getting senile. After all, he confused an empty suit for an empty chair!
