The Right Scoop
I have watched this dozens of times and it is better each time. Today Clint came out to say what he meant, that Obama was the biggest hoax on The US ever. The fools that voted for him deserve him. We did not believe a word he said,except when it was against long standing US policy. I hope the uneducated people stay this one out and stay home.
Very interesting take on Clint Eastwood's performance here: http://www.hughhewitt.com/blog. Watched Mister Smith Goes to Washington last night. What as statement C. E. was making!
It is now 2-days later, and people are still talking about Clint's speak. I'd have to say that based on that alone, he hit a grand slam.
But you know what is coming... There will be a SNL skit about it, and undecided's will wonder why they are doing it. And then they'll go back and watch Clint's original speech. I know I did. It is better than SNL could do.
This has legs, and I have to think it is a gift from God for the GOP.
The left tried to shut this down and only succeeded in having tens of millions more view this that otherwise would not have , and MOST agree with Clint.
The INVALUABLE thing here is that Clint is speaking to Obama voters and telling them plainly and understandingly ...You gotta let him go.
In his simple way he captured this entire election in a nutshell, better than even Paul Ryan , Marco Rubio , or Mitt Romney ,as remarkable, as their own speeches were . And for that and having the courage to step forward I say THANK YOU Mr Eastwood
Third time watching video and it just gets better every time I watch it! Clint is speaking from his heart.
Liberals hate being mocked, which is why Eastwood's speech is so devastating to them.
And 23 million Americans out of work IS a national tragedy.
After seeing the reactions from all over and the libs losing it, I think CLINT really did his part well.
Let me give a perspective that could really be and these pundits are now gone off the
rails, in to the woods, Peeing their pants. THEY need to put down the crack pipe, especially Touree, C BLOW, E Washington, and Mr Positive, Al Shaaapton !
DID I say that? Was that racist? What would CLINT say?
Mitt is rougher that we think, but he could not risk taking the shots, and when Monday was lost and they lost the 4 day plan to ramp up the real message.
All this hemming and hawing about it was too nasty to the PRZI is just nonsense, we all know this. Somthing tells me the surprise WAS THE SURPRISE ON THE PROGS. Kind of a K$ll shot, we have learned from Seal Team sSx, you gotta plan a total over wheklming surprise attack. And no one knew what the chair was for......REALLY??? Surprise !
BUT, this was PAYBACK, I feel, and MITT and Mr TRUMP figured out how to strike the boy king punk (Mad Cow ?). To see the attempt to figure this out, and deny it as, we did not know he would scramble the PREZI like Humpty Dumpty, was all a risk if Clint Bo$bed totally, but ther are a lot of us were hoping for EVEN more.
SHAAAPton is trying to get some traction with the MEME that Mitt has to dis-avow the
remarks against OUR President. Well, PREZI set all this in motion in his first days by being arrogant and talking like a KING or TYRANT.
This day was coming, live and in PRIME TIME (the real deal libs are upset about, see they control big 3 networks), so only think left is to go back to racist REPUBS and MITT will not condemn his own party (you mean like O-BLAME-O does?) if some extreme event or comment happen.
You all saw the saw the AKINS comments, Mitt acted fast (so MSM could not attack him on issue, and then they went after RYAN, and Paul reacted with coolness too), and AKIN is back on top of the Bat Woman of Mizoo (seen her glasses?), and may win, the man has his own money and Mou is very strong RED state.
MSM was popped, right on the nose, and they can not stop the bleeding today.
As a matter of fact, the more they cry, the worse it gets for them, and CLINT is bigger
star than ever. Dirty Harry DID IT AGAIN....I want the movie rights?
MItt has this way, of hiring the right guy at the right time. THAT is what a great CEO will always do, I have known many.
And going to Louisana right away, genius move. Obumy is playing checkers against himself, and Mitt is playing CHESS with the CHESS Master at his side...RYAN.
Look at all the facts, and see things a they are, not what MSM is playing out in front of you. They are totally befuddled, and we should be knocking them around on ALL THINGS.
If you ever listen to RUSH and Mark Levin, they have been demanding some of this offense for a VERY long time. Mitt may even feel tough enough and earned enough respect to get 10 minutes on Mark and Rush's show....at the last minute before election is PERFECT ! So MSNBC attack dogs will not have any time to mount a SWAT PROG SPEW ATTACK as they do like thay are trying to mount today and did on AKIN.
RYAN was the piece missing, so I want his SS staff doubled ASAP.
Nice JET-plane Mitt.
Let's roll, and then JET to the WH !
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clint......... BOOM!!! The sound of liberal heads exploding in their parents' basements from Tallahassee to Tacoma!!
Thanks, but I'll stay in my feel good bubble as opposed to that HATE filled one the libs live in!
leftist troll... that's my pick. You know why? This here below...
but let's face it: we've become myopic and stagnant and incapable of seeing outside of our own windows when it comes to understanding mainstream America. We've become exclusive, intolerant, and vitriolic. We seem even incapable of identifying lies from our own candidates. Even Sally Kohn said Ryan blatantly lied in his speech.
That's exactly what I expected. Add "suspicious of those who would question our viability" to the list.
If we don't stop to ask the hard questions about why we are coming up with weak candidates and why we are managing to alienate moderate voters by calling them "Kool-aid drinkers" then we will stagnate and be doomed to a recursive failure.
Your accusation only reinforces my original assumption about our party.
I want to see the party steer a hard right. Since you are fond of using Sally Kohn as a litmus for whether our candidates are telling the truth, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that small government and more self reliance aren't the direction you want to see the country go. I'm sure not going to lose any sleep on whether those so called moderates like us.
Eastwood was funny and took the POTUS to task on his empty promises. Get over it.
Out of the four years of the Obama Presidency, Clint was doing something the White House Press Corps wouldn't do, and that's asking tough questions about the tough issues to the President. Great speech, Mr. Eastwood.
Clint was so funny that I had to watch him twice. He was even more funny the second time around! 82 years of SMARTs!

By yesterday morning everyone knew Clint Eastwood would be speaking.. I think the mystery speaker was actually Obama, and he had to say what we all knew he would say.. NOTHING worth listening to.
Regardless, you are probably wrong if you think this changed the election or gave votes to Mitt Romney. If anything else, someone from Hollywood with an off the cuff speech overshadowed him. Like it or not, Mitt Romney just got overlooked at this own convention. Mitt Romney just accidentally gave the spotlight back to Obama because now, even more, everyone wants to hear what the Democrats have to say. And when they watch, maybe they’ll get the kind of dialogue they should’ve received while we were laughing at the expense of Mitt Romney’s campaign, headed by a terrific Clint Eastwood.
yahoo-7GN6KLEY46K4OZ4QZWKDIDAEOE, your brain is addled but if I had to sign my name as you do, mine would be addled too. You're excused.
Maybe we just think the improv was freaking funny... You know, because we have a sense of humor - unlike the insufferable, ill humored & bigoted Democrats.
Clint is taking a lot of bitchin from the left. But, that's just them. They have to gang up on a single speaker. They are like a pack of wolves.
Yes, it was different. Clint was like the 7th inning stretch. But, they don't see that.
Even at 80+, he still trumps all the whiney-ass Hollywood libs. They think they own stars.
I thought it was great, among other things, that he started off with, "I know what you're thinking...", which is how his famous Dirty Harry line starts...
"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?”
Wow, Clint Eastwood has aged so much. He might not be around 4 years from now. Reminds me how we are all getting old.
“Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.”
- Clint Eastwood
Charlton Heston. Clint Eastwood. Ronald Reagan. The cream rises to the top, even in Hollywood.
To all the left wing critics who denounced Clint's talk to America I say:
Any day you aggravate a liberal is a successful day.
Good old Clint Eastwood with his steely gaze, a cuban cigar and a blazing gun walking slowly into a fight.
God bless you Mr. Eastwood. Great talk. I have heard so many conservative speakers be gracious, classy, positive, upbeat and funny while sharing their thoughts, words and memories at the convention. It's truly refreshing. And thank you for letting us know that there are many others like you in Hollywood, they just don't wear it on their sleeve.
Talking like obama was in the emply chair was hilarious.
The're a dozen comedians that could have delivered that routine better. Eastwood might as well have tried doing ballet. He was out of his element. Or maybe he should have practiced. He was a bumbler.
Oh come on! He's 82 for g-d's sake. You should hope to do as well when you're 82. I thought he did GREAT!
Since I wrote the comment, I've come up with a better idea. Use the Romney version of Newt's much vaunted EO list. Also knowing what we know now, he could have included "contacting Bobby Jindal about flood relief", "helping Rahm stand in at the 12 funerals next week of gun murder victims that will occur in Chicago this weekend".
-- in other words lots of red meat !!
I still liked his routine, but I do like your alternate routine as well. At any rate, he could have done a lot worse.
Being 82 has nothing to do with it; he is not senile or incapacitated -- it's just not his thing. Any late nite host would have brought down the house with that skit. What he could have done was issue a bunch of challenges like "Approve the Keystone pipeline", "Pass a budget", "Pass the 14 jobs bills stuck in the Senate" ... and after each one got the audience to say "and make my day". Ending with telling the President he doesn't have the stones or the grease to get any of this done and that Romney with the help of a R congress will "make my day".
