It will be all over the web. No need to put it in. The best use of the official video is to introduce people to the many fine speakers that the networks ignored.

Nobody is going to watch the RNC video. But Clint is getting all the hits on youtube. It’s a non issue.

My dad is in a federal VA cemetery or I'd do the same thing. I'm almost glad he never heard of Barack Obama (died in 2002) as it would've really saddened him seeing the country he fought three wars for being destroyed.

A ‘broken’ empty chair might be even better.

Are you kidding me? It was great.

It is only lefties who dislike it. It is honest, funny, creative, and reflectd reality.

He DID hit it out of the park.

I watched it “Live” and, like many others, felt uneasy.


The reason being is because we were all expecting a drab speech. This was political performance art that will have a greater impact in the elections in November than the Tina Fey/Sarah Plain SNL skit did.

Clint rocks...not takin’ sh*t from anyone.

YOU MUST BE KIDDING YOURSELF OR A PLANT....Eastwood’s face book page picked up 150,000 likes in 24 hours after the speech..HE connected BIGTIME!!!..No matter how it is spun ..the bell has rung..and that sound the liberal elite cannot take back...I heard him!!..America heard him!!..HELL, the rest of the world heard him LOUD and CLEAR!!

“If the person is not doing his job...it’s time to let him go!”
Lastly...from now to the election..every time Obama opens his mouth..people are gonna think “EMPTY CHAIR”!!!

It may well be that Eastwood and Voight own all rights to their images and words.

When I heard him live I thought it was a series of disconnected, confused-sounding ramblings. I have watched and listened a few more times since then seen the reaction, and I think he hit it out of the park.

It was the most memorable speech of the convention, and there were some very good ones. The ridicule of obama as an empty chair with no way to defend his lack of accomplishments and spewing nasty curses will go a long way to cutting him down to human size. And the comments that we own the country, we hire the politicians anj we shouod fire them if they don’t do their jobs hit home.

RINOs are very flexible animals, but it does have a downside. They often cannot extract their heads from their asses.

Eastwood’s “speech” wasn’t a terrific “speech”; but it wasn’t supposed to be a speech. This was a well known American who identifies with the GOP speaking his mind about the current resident of the White House.

Eastwood is that thing most precious to RINOs: A moderate voter. He isn’t a rock-ribbed conservative. He’s really more of a libertarian. He calls himself fiscally conservative and socially liberal. He has said that he wants a government that leaves people alone. That’s the precise opposite of what Obama’s vision of government is. He didn’t speechify about this; he just talked. And as someone just giving a talk, he was brilliant.

Why “brilliant” and not simply “good”? Good doesn’t cause a meltdown among the media elites. Good doesn’t goad the President of the United States into a Twitter response. But of course, Cranio-rectally impacted RINOs can’t recognize this. They can’t hear anything other than their pals in the MSM and the Democratic Party telling them how “weird” the “speech” was; though, you wouldn’t expect them to hear much with their heads up past their sphincters.

Grampy was a WWII vet. Although he is not in a military cemetery, the place he is buried recently changes hands - so I had to be pretty low key. I think I did OK though - and I expect that unless there is a funeral near his grave tomorrow the little Empty Chair should go un-molested by the staff.

Since they’ve changed hands the staff HAS to go around every other day to remove everything on every grave, including SILK flowers. Flags aren’t allowed except for two times yearly. It’s disturbing. As hell.

“I’m all for trying to make the best of a bad situation, but let’s not delude ourselves into thinking that Clint hit one out of the park.”

He did.
