Oh come on accept it. In order to be a Republican you have to be a homophobic, racist, with xenophobic tendencies and a liar. This is the alternate universe th liberal herd tries to peddle.

On Eastwood, Are Liberals Dumb or Just Playing Dumb? By Ann Althouse RealClearPolitics September 1, 2012 "MSNBC pundits said Clint Eastwood’s GOP convention speech Thursday night was a 'bizarre' and 'embarrassing' 'disaster'..." Key word: MSNBC. “Clint Eastwood was a disaster,” Lawrence O’Donnell said. “I thought Clint Eastwood was bizarre,” Ed Schultz said. “It was demeaning to the presidency.” Ha ha ha. That wasn't even a comedy routine (as Eastwood's performance was). ADDED: I hope if anyone does any comedy at the Democratic convention that Ed Schultz will be fair and balanced enough to say it demeans the presidency. Maybe he should be a little more concerned about what demeans journalism. AND: Here's the whole Eastwood performance. Is it really that hard to get? No, they're merely playing dumb (and humorless), even though they want the other party to be known as "the stupid party." UPDATE: I just rewatched the performance. It was great! Hilarious... subtle... well-paced.... The haters are totally bullshitting and playing dumb (assuming they are not actually dumb). And what they are trying to do is scare other celebrities: Toe the line or we will destroy you. That crushing repression is the opposite of what the performing arts should be about. althouse.blogspot.com
