Guess Hollywood/Big Media Ain't So Liberal as Some Would Wish You Thought

[tinselwolverine]

Remember all the doofuses in Conservative Crazyville who were whining that the "Halftime in America" during the last Super Bowl was an endorsement of President Obama?

Guess the were really only trying to brand a car maker, after all...

Now, anyone who knows anything would know that Eastwood has always, if ever politically aligned, been more aligned with the Republicans; he was actually only elected to public office once as one...

From everybody's favorite, Wikipedia:

"Eastwood made a successful foray into elected politics. He was elected mayor in April 1986 of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California (population 4,000), a wealthy small town and artist community on the Monterey Peninsula. He served one term. A focal point of Eastwood's campaign was to overturn a law that banned eating ice cream in public. When Eastwood was elected, President Ronald Reagan phoned and asked, "What's an actor who once appeared with a monkey in a movie doing in politics?"

Hey tsmith, getting back to stuff that actually matters - are the Lions really gonna make some noise again this season?

I know you're a big Lions fan; last year was my favorite year in NFL in a long time.


After all the seasons of suffering, I'm just concerned that last season's Lions might have been a one season wonder.

Once bitten twice shy, right?

I look at it this way......they play the two worst divisions in football(AFC-South, NFC-West)
If they can win a few of those road games against those 2 Div they have a real good chance of taking the NFC-North, assuming they can go 4-2 within the NFC-North.

They need road wins at Az, Tenn, J'Ville and Minny and 7 home wins at a minimum to win the division...still a longshot but barring major injuries who knows

Anyway tsmith, to answer this...

The point of the thread isn't that Hollywood is conservative; of course Hollywood isn't conservative (although I expect that our good friend MichChamp would disagree with that statement); the point is -

People who talk about things on radio and on television should have an idea what they're talking about.

Now - whether they're talking from a conservative perspective, like say George Will, that's fine; and if they're talking from a more liberal perspective like say for example, Chris Matthews, that's fine too.

But - they should have an idea what they're talking about.

So...anybody, who immediately after the airing of that "halftime in America" Super Bowl commercial got on television, and immediately began claiming or speculating that, typical of Big Hollywood liberalism, Clint Eastwood was making a pro-Obama statement, or an Obama endorsement - and people did do that -

Those people didn't have a clue - not one single clue - about anything about Eastwood's politcal background or political perspective.

And they should have, before they started talking about it.
