Wow..Watching Clint Eastwood is SAD.

I understood what Clint was saying, I couldn't do that to myself either.
 
Wow, he really was anti-war in the speech. He was pro-Gitmo, but anti-war.

So they don't vet his speech and let him adlib anti-war rhetoric, but Ron Paul isn't allowed to speak? What a disgrace.
 
I think the speech was not good but I also think it's not beneficial to criticize it. Maybe it's my bias but I think most of America has a soft spot in their heart for Eastwood. It was a smart move to get him to speak.
 
I thought it was the best speech of the convention.

What he did there was brilliant if you watch closely.
 
Unfortunately, I think he was saying Obama was crazy to want to close gitmo (trying terrorists in nyc) and to bring the troops home from Afghanistan on a certain date, or tomorrow. I hope I got it wrong.

That was my take too, although he did question the wisdom of going into Afghanistan by talking about the Soviet experience there.
 
I don't know why people are calling it crazy. I thought he did a good job considering he's the only fucking guy to not blow rainbows out his ass and say bullcrap like "the American people this/that..."

Sorry, but I am passionate in my disdain for the disingenuous. I have more respect for someone who is talking about the voices in their head than I do for anyone else on that stage.

Look at it this way, in one foul swoop Clint Eastwood may have done more to change the mindset of the average republican on war than we did this whole time campaigning for Ron Paul.
 
He is very backwards when he defends the existence of Guantanamo Bay and makes an inference that prosecuting "terrorists" in courts in NYC or in any u.s. court would not work. He basically told us that we need military tribunals and detention camps because the u.s. judicial system is incapable of having any kind of justice?Then what the fuck does he think is good about the executive branch having that kind of power?
 
So Eastwood was only supposed to be there for 5 mins and adlibbed his way to 10? Interesting.

Clint could stay there all night for all I care. He beats the rest of them, besides Ron Paul of course. I like how he said "I think maybe it is a time for a change", he didn't sound too sure about that. LOL! Got to love the guy for being unsure about Romney.
 
He is an actor.
He ain't Dirty Harry
He ain't Josie Wales.

He is an actor. He reads lines.

He's a damn good actor too. He wasn't reading lines tonight with the chair routine and it was pretty good. BTW, most actors don't read lines, they memorize them.
 
Penn Jilette came with the best defense for the Clint Eastwood speech tonight on Pierce Morgan (CNN) around at midnight, I hope someone was recording it, couldn't stop laughing I was almost in tears. The round table was ripping on Eastwood and Jilette comes in NO NO NO NO NO, who are you to say what Clint Eastwood can and can't say, you let him say anything he wants. He went off on a tangent it was awesome!
 
Aside from my disappointment with him (like Rand) being there to support such a room full of ignorance, I can't agree with the negativity about his presentation. Yes, he's an actor - but actors are often quite different than what you'd expect when you see them outside their craft. What you probably just saw there was the real Clint. You see a nervous guy on stage, not reciting lines from a movie, but just talking to a crowd. I appreciated watching it just to see something that isn't plastic on the stage.
