LOL! Now that is funny.
If Matt Damon and his Hollywood friends are angry at Obama because of his NSA excesses, they should be equally admiring of Edward Snowden for blowing the whistle on them.
So why doesn’t Matt Damon produce a movie about the heroism of Edward Snowden, which he could star in himself? Playing roles like his recent portrayal of Liberace’s boyfriend shouldn’t be enough for a man of principle like Matt Damon seems to be by speaking out against Obama.
So when does the movie, ‘’Fighting for Liberty: The Edward Snowden Story,’’ starring Matt Damon go into production?
The ‘A’ list means something entirely different to Matt than it does to others.
LOL!
Matt has been having too many Brokeback Mounting fantasies about him and President Obozo.
I actually got my letter carrier paper last month - in it I was amazed to see an article that wasn’t too happy with Obama. Basically, they were amazed Obama wasn’t signing certain legislation. It seemed to be an eye opening moment for them - that actually Obama is a politician whose word cannot be trusted.
It wasn’t a huge thing but was definitely a “moment” for them. They are convinced Issa is the devil incarnate, though.
Does that make Jennifer Garner a ‘beard’ too?
He is Oscar winning Screenwriter not actor. I can’t stand journolists!!
No. If Ben and Matt were gay, they would announce it to the World and be even more loved. Beards are no longer needed.
Your question is entirely pointless. There is no connection between Matt Damon and Jennifer Garner.
Why pointless?.....you seem to be implying Ben is Matt’s ‘beard’....so what does that make Jennifer?
You're confused. I didn't imply that at all. I suggest you read the thread and discover what it is you think others are talking about.
whatever :)
If I’m confused....it’s not even worth discussing ....
I do know what you’re talking about....
Bad reviews on the latest movie, eh Matt???.....
Boo Freaking Boo!!! Put some ICE on it Mattie Girl!!!
I never would have pegged him or Afflack as a Nancy boys.

That's because Obama isn't governing as the hard-core Leftist that Matt Damon expected he would be.
Damon grew up next door to Boston University historian, Howard Zinn, a Communist.
In the late 1940s, Zinn served as vice-chairman for a Brooklyn branch of the American Labor Party (ALP), an organization run and dominated by Communists. As historian Ronald Radosh writes, "The ALP was but the first of many Communist-led groups with which Zinn would lend both his name and his active participation." Among these were the American Veterans Committee, the American Peace Mobilization, and the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee.
In 1949, the FBI opened a domestic security investigation on Zinn (the 423-page FBI File #100-360217) because of his involvement with Communist front groups like ALP and his status as an active member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). (Zinn's membership in the party lasted from 1948 until at least 1953, and perhaps as late as 1956; he was known to attend party meetings as often as five times per week.) Notably, however, he never acknowledged his Communist Party membership, and whenever he was asked about it, he denied it.
In 1951 Zinn taught a "Basic Marxism" class at the CPUSA's Brooklyn, New York headquarters, where he emphasized that "the basic teachings of Marx and Lenin were sound and should be adhered to by those present."
Zinn was a pro-Castro activist and a supporter of such organizations as the Black Panther Party, the Progressive Labor Party, the Socialist Workers Party, and the Students for a Democratic Society -- the SDS.
Damon was heavily influenced by Zinn.
At the age of 10, when he was in the fifth grade, Damon brought author Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" to school for Columbus Day.
"My mother had read me the passages about Columbus," Damon told the Track, "that two years after Columbus discovered America, more than 100,000 Indians were dead. And I wondered, ‘How is this guy so celebrated that we take a day off from school to bask in his greatness?'
A 2009 televised documentary, "The People Speak," narrated by Zinn and based on his books was co-produced by Matt Damon. The film gives voice to those who, by insisting on equality and justice, spoke up for "social change."
In this video, Damon reads portions Howard Zinn's 1970 speech on civil obedience:

Damon's partner, Ben Affleck was also an admirer and family friend of Zinn's.
BenAffleck demonstrated Zinn's influence on him recently with this energetic defense of Islam.

You can't blame the boys too much. After all, they grew up in the People's Republic of Cambridge.
Way to go, I love it when an old thread gets bumped!
