Idiot freeps think Eastwood was great and effective and dems are scared and jealous

[cali]

I agree. It was a masterpiece of brilliance and daring. And I hope everyone on FR knows that the enemy is devastated by being reminded that Clint is on our side. See, they spend all day and night on Facebook bloviating about how the Right are knuckle-dragging, illiterate, stupid, bible-thumping, racist haters - so it really, really upsets their applecart when someone they take seriously as an actor, auteur and ...gasp...major jazz fan is even at our convention, let alone that he got up to mock and deride their fake messiah. Clint made my day. He made our country’s day.



“The fem dems are in an uproar, good. They are not focusing on Romney but rather on an actor. Beautiful.”

Yeah. Eastwood is shrewd, and honest and real, effortlessly. Oh, and all during the convention, the purported “Republican war on women” was given the lie with example after example of what a REAL “feminist” looks like.

He was...

...honest
...understandable
...making good points
...dishing out some good one-liners
...delivering an effective case that we need to rid ourselves of Obama
...worth having in prime time for the American cause

I thought Clint’s performance last night was “high art”. And, if (as they say) ridicule is the greatest political weapon then his “interview” with Obama was an atom bomb.

Clint was “Awesome”! Each quip was a fearless, bullseye, .44 slug delivered right at the heart of socialism.

Clints talk was in sync with Romneys speech,
Both addressed jobs, voters getting wooed in 2008 election energy of Obama
Clint: (2008 election) ..they were talking about hope and change and they were talking about, yes we can,...Oprah cried,
,... we do not have to be metal (ph) masochists and vote for somebody that we don’t really even want in office just because they seem to be nice guys
Both were addressing past Obama voters, basic message ...time to let Obama go you (we) deserve better

He was acting........ classic Shakespearean comic relief of the highest order

1. republicans are defending Clint and talking about how he highlighted Mitt ans perfect

I am on another board with several republicans, the least dogmatic are just shutting up though.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

2. Idiots + Freeps = Redundancy

[cali]

12. my apologies. you are so right.

[HughBeaumont]

3. OUTside of the Repub moat . . .

. . . this is being panned universally as the most bizarre mound of nuttery since Carly Fiorina's political ads.

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. Saw a few utterly moronic DUers saying the same thing last night

[johnnie]

5. And I bet that if you go look at their threads right after the super bowl they were hating him n/t

[renie408]

6. I know, I just went through there.

And they are super pissed at Rove for wanting to kill Akin.

There were a couple who figured out that everybody talking about Clint was a BAD thing, but most of them said stupid shit like "You can do what you want when you get old" or some version of "Clint was FABULOUS!"

[progressivebydesign]

7. Hmm. guessing most of those are paid commenters. Look at the prose...

that is NOT even close to the usual fare on FR. Seriously.. look at the writing. Karl Rove must be getting very desperate.

[southernyankeebelle]

8. How funny. They are all talking about Eastwood. No one remembers Romney's speech.

Yep Romney = Winning

[ismnotwasm]

9. *snort*

Which is why the Internet has gone viral trying to outdo itself making fun of him.

Freepers--in a deep, dark apparently bottomless well of self delusion

[Brickbat]

11. Heh. It seemed to me the crowd applauded at his punchlines because he finally got to them.

You see it all the time at old-folks homes. The visiting children or grandchildren smile politely as their loved ones start talking and get lost in their syntax and then when they finally get to the end of the sentence, the visitor smiles broadly and says, "That's right, Grandma! I think so too!"

They kept thinking he was done and he would get his embarrassing act off the stage.

[Chiyo-chichi]

13. It was about as far from "Shakespearean" as one can get.

[Tom Ripley]

17. More like a skit at the American Legion talent show

[vademocrat]

14. They really do live in a different universe!

Understandable? I've only seen a couple of clips but to me it sounded almost like gibberish... and how do they perceive dems to be scared & jealous?

And this, "...the purported “Republican war on women” was given the lie with example after example of what a REAL “feminist” looks like." Well, alrighty then, I'll just turn in my voter registration card and go cook dinner..

I'm really beginning to understand why my mother would just shake her head & say "bless his heart" with certain people - there's no debate or discussion with stone cold crazy....

[Tom Ripley]

15. And every one of them scratched their heads when he used the word "bifurcating"

"Huh?"

[Arkana]

16. Freep is a hive of idiocy, racism, and just complete shit.

You're surprised that this is how they're rationalizing it away?

[cali]

19. nope. I just like making fun of them.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. The GOP crowd was applauding against both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars

thinking they were applauding his criticism of Obama. And they were applauding against the idea of keeping troops there which is Romney's real position (Eastwood misrepresented Romney's real position, intentional or not). Eastwood said both wars were bad ideas as he talked to the chair:


I know you were against the war in Iraq, and that’s okay. But you thought the war in Afghanistan was OK. You know, I mean — you thought that was something worth doing. We didn’t check with the Russians to see how did it — they did there for 10 years.

(APPLAUSE)

But we did it, and it is something to be thought about, and I think that, when we get to maybe — I think you’ve mentioned something about having a target date for bringing everybody home. You gave that target date, and I think Mr. Romney asked the only sensible question, you know, he says, “Why are you giving the date out now? Why don’t you just bring them home tomorrow morning?”

20. A .44 slug to the heart of socialism!

Which is worse, being a complete tool and knowing it, going through your life knowing that you are a jerk? Or being a complete tool who has no clue, going through life thinking you are really cool while everyone else thinks you are a tool? It's pretty sad either way.

[railsback]

21. That's like disgustingly ugly people (inside and out) telling themselves they're beautiful

They also think Sununu wipes the floor with liberal pundits. 'Nuff said.

[Mike Daniels]

22. When Ann Romney is using "unique" to describe it you know the PTB considered it a disaster.

Because "unique" in this particular instance is just a diplomatic way of saying it stunk.

Sort of similar to when someone says a movie was "interesting" or that a baby is "breathtaking".

If Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity et al haven't tried spinning it at this point you know it's bad.

[spanone]

23. pretty much what to expect from the challenged ones
