Clint Eastwood summed up the #RNC perfectly: An old crotchety rich white man fighting against an imaginary black threat.

Courtney Love called to say that Clint Eastwood's speech was rambling and incoherent.

(2,524 posts)It's an ongoing fight with an imaginary enemy. It wasn't a crazy rant, but an exemplary moment that revealed the soul of the GOP.

Sarcasm aside, the site has launched into its usual whining about how the liberal media is mocking Clint. Presumably, they include Twitter and Facebook in that (since the Tea Party cult uses "liberal" the same way that the Amish use the word "English" - to denote anyone from the outside world).

(42,770 posts)tape..it was really quite an effective anti-Obama speech. He hit the nail on our most vulnerable parts. Hopefully, the Dems PTB are studying all of this and counteracting.
I hope we have a theme, like "I Built this"
