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.

If Breitbart.com said it, it must be true

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).

Clint Eastwood's RNC speech was to imaginary Obama in an empty chair. I'm drafting a DNC speech to imaginary Romney in an empty factory.


Takei is just a delightful human being, isn't he?

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"
