  1. The dweebs of Hollywood, the wannabe stars, the actors who have to provide a movie title along with their name so people might have a vague recollection of what the look like, diss Clint Eastwood.
    Well Done Clint, mission accomplished.

  2. Hmmm, not being supported by the regular Hollyweird celebrities would seem to be badge of honour I would proudly wear. Bet you if Clint called up next week one of these losers to offer them a chance to act in his next film they’d be panting at him like a lap-dog that they are.

  5. The lefties in Hollywood are letting their heads explode because as Clint said in his opening:
    “You’re thinking what’s a movie tradesman doing here; they’re all lefties out there, left of Stalin. …[However],there’s lots of conservatives in Hollywood…conservative people play it a little closer to the vest they don’t go around hot dogging it.”
    The dummies are trying to put down an American movies icon because their little “Weltanshauung” took a direct hit.

  6. Outside of Rand Paul’s constitutionalist viewpoint, Clint Eastwood’s address was one of the very few highlights of the RNC – a populist view of republican values. Perhaps there is hope for GOP if they listen to these people instead of the RINO brass running their party into a uni-partisan governing cabal.

  8. I disagree Rob. If you’re actively tweeting, you’re not a star.
    Funny how they picked those 6 people for reactions, considering the first three are known to support the Democrats, Quinto is an LGBT activist and Brokaw was outted years ago as well. Pegg is the only one that might be close to neutral in the bunch.

  9. Rumor has it Clint wanted to use an empty suit, but they only had the chair so he had to improvise.

  10. Clint Eastwood & Jon Voight support for the Romney/ Ryan ticket will be seen as instrumental as
    the turning point in reversing the Socialism of the U.S.A by the Obama Democrat dependency & entitlement plan for the U.S.A.
    Yesterday, Eastwood helped elect Romney!

  11. Mia Farrow? Is she still around? The BBC must have looked long and hard to find such no names.

  12. G*d dammit! Quinto and Pegg: two more Hollywood actors I have to add to the boycott list. Why don’t these stupid actors keep their politics to themselves?

  13. News flash:
    ROMNEY HEADS TO HURRICANE-TORN NEW ORLEANS; OBAMA GOES TO … TEXAS?
    Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.

  14. I am going to LOVE watching the Dembots attacking Dirty Harry.
    “…you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”

  15. Before we get too optimistic,remember that superstar Ah-nold Schwarzennegger endorsed McCain just before the Obama landslide.
    The debates loom ever more important, I hope Paul Ryan is up to facing the most brilliant orator the Vice-Presidency has ever seen.
    Biden MUST be a genius,because I don’t understand what he’s saying or why he’s saying it most of the time.
    And Mitt versus the Messiah? I expect the moderator will slant the debate to Obama’s advantage,demanding real answers to tough questions from Romney while accepting memorized feel-good cliches from the Prez.

  16. Quinto and Pegg.
    Who the hell are they?
    Brockaw criticizes Clint for too many words.
    That’s funny coming from a guy with a mouth full of marbles.
    Mia Farrow. Mamma Mia. Nuff said.

  18. “I disagree Rob. If you’re actively tweeting, you’re not a star.”
    Oxygentax- I’d be more specific, if you’re actively tweeting, and trying to be controversial, you’re not a star.

  20. There are two types of men: those who like Clint Eastwood and those who want to fellate Obama.

  21. Rush – “right now the fact checkers are looking into whether or not someone can do ‘that’ to themselves to see if Clint was lying”. The thing is even though that’s a joke I’m not completely sure it’s not true.

  23. “Before we get too optimistic,remember that superstar Ah-nold Schwarzennegger endorsed McCain just before the Obama landslide.”
    Schwarzenegger..McCain. The two of them together convey a certain symmetry that was not lost on the average conservative voter. RINOs, the both of them was my opinion before that election.

  24. Mia Farrow? One movie and bang Sinatra and they’re still talking about you 50 years later.

  25. Ebert is the sad and pathetic one.
    Notice there is no substantive comeback to the CONTENT of what clint presented. The left and Obama are adrift like never before and headed to the rocks.

  26. It appeared that for much of the time that Clint Eastwood is “speaking” to the empty suit / empty chair, that the teleprompter is tilted downwards and facing the empty chair. I thought it was a nice touch.
    Much of the news coverage of this part of the convention, is asking if it was offensive to the office. Nobody seems to be addressing the unemployed number that Mr. Eastwood mentioned.

  27. “Joe Biden the intellectual heavyweight of the democrats, a smile in front of a suit.” Pauses looks at chair “I could never do that to myself.”
    That was crafted to take out two birds with one stone. Bidens an idiot and so are you for picking him. Priceless.

  29. The real irony of Eastwood’s talk was that he was talking to a empty chair and most Demos don’t get it!

  30. Eastwood’s bit was one of the most entertaining things I seen in these political conventions, a welcome relief from the maudlin sentimentality.

  31. Eastwood blows his “head clean off”.
    Nice shooting, “Blondie”.
    Agreed, most entertaining political speech EVAH!

  33. When you’re a filthy Mexican desperado living in the desert co-habitating with rustled cattle, almost everything is a blond.

  35. Man I need to watch this thing it sounds hilarious in a good way. Only reason to tune into the RNC.

  36. Loved Clint.
    CNN did a piece yesterday on conservatives in Hollywood and said actors/actresses who vote Republican tended not to come forward in Tinsel Town.
    The real story should have been: Why don’t they come forward? Why do they jeopardize their careers if they admit they’re Republicans?
    Stupid CNN didn’t probe those questions, or hypothetically turn the situation around: If Hollywood stars on the Left jeopardized their careers by admitting they were Dems, the MSM would be in an uproar.
    As it is, the CNN journalist gaily admitted the problems conservatives have if they come out of the closet in Hollywood and accepted the status quo with no qualms whatsoever.
    Dumb MSM asses. Freedom of speech, religion, and politics for ME but not for THEE.
    Please, sir, may we have more Clint Eastwoods? (And fewer empty chairs?)

  37. Clint Eastwood is quite elderly and he has stayed in remarkably good shape in his old age. Yet it is only to be expected that he will get a little more bumbly the older he gets and his speech will not be as polished. Everybody knows that about the elderly, but we respect them because the rest of us will be there too someday.
    But the Left is unforgiving — I bet they would be outraged if it was Betty White that was being made fun of for her age while speaking for a pro-abortion rally.

  38. And I repeat …. As a group the MSM are the stupidest people on the planet … with the usual exception of Hollywood that is … Eastwood being a notable exception!

  39. Whatever you can say about Eastwood’s performance: he did it at age 82, from the hip, and (as far as I could tell) without any writers or teleprompters.
    However unpolished a performance it might have been, non of his critics – or the messiah himself for that matter – could have done better in the same situation.

  40. Bryceman:
    I dunno about unpolished, he may have have “stumbled” a couple of times* but that was a very finely honed speech and that blade went in like the proverbial hot knife through butter.
    So much so that the target and his friends took a while to notice that he’s bleeding on the floor.
    *(I believe it was a very well acted speech, unless you can show me a recent interview where he’s bumbling. Last time I saw him on TV he was as sharp as a tack.)

  41. Juan Williams on Fox says that he’s a real fan of Clint’s but was SO disappointed that he seemed to be making fun of the president. “SEEMED TO BE . . .”, Juan?
    Well, being a liberal, he has no sense of irony or humour. Juan, Clint was using Alinsky rules—Obama’s and the Democrats’ default modus operandi. RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.”
    No wonder the left’s having conniptions. A taste of their own medicine: sweet!

  42. Only Eastwood could have done this – any other Conservative star would have been blacklisted by Hollywood, but Eastwood doesn’t care and probably would use the blacklist as the basis for a movie that he would produce, direct and star in!! Good job

  43. Let us see now.
    Eastwood did good. His presentation was creative. The only thing the socialists found wrong with it, they could not come up with even lamest argument.
    They, the socialist aristocrats understood every word and nuance. Perhaps many agreed with Eastwood. They obviously could not publicly agree, so they spoke stupid.
    Notice, they had not had an argument with what he said, they could not say what it was that bothers them, if anything.
    And another thing, all of the critics put together don’t come close to the accomplishments of Eastwood.
    Recognized only one name, that of Farrow. As for all of them, since nobody knows who they are, in Hollywood it is safe to criticize conservatives, it gives the talker brownie points for future consideration.
    What kind of critique is saying, he talked too much, the guy talked for something like 10 minutes. Of course it was a stupid argument.
    It is this observer’s firm opinion that when the “journalists” start asking each other questions to fill time between commercials, of necessity they must start talking stupid. The questions are about the same quality.

  44. Clint Eastwood is well-established in his career and I’m sure could care less what people thought of him. It’s not like any of his detractors are actually going to walk and tell him what they think of him to his face.

  45. I think that Clint Eastwood is the man that I would most like like to have a beer with. Will I go to hell for ending a sentence with a preposition?

  46. When I say “like like”, you know I mean “really, really, like” … or something like that.

  47. The criticism of his performance is even lamer than the MSM ‘fact-checking’ of Ryan’s speech.

  48. I was just watching the CBC (don’t ask), and the caption IIRC was “Clint Eastwood gives rambling speech at RNC”. I almost suspect bias.

  49. Beer with Eastwood? Sure. But getting tanked with Nicholson might be much more interesting.
    What’s with the media lefties?? I guess they didn’t realize it was humour. They find it hard to believe that Eastwood is a conservative. There are a lot of economic conservatives who aren’t all that concerned with social conservatism. Ben Mulroney couldn’t understand Eastwood but then again he has never have met a real conservative.

  50. BM, and in listening to the CBC radio news, they cropped and splinted Clint’s speech. Glad I was able to catch it on the computer so as to hear what he really said in the context of his speech. They were not the same!
    The CBC editing department is very highly skilled at their trade. Never give anything but a live interview with the media, they will make a “conservative” look either insane or a criminal.
