Just minutes after Clint Eastwood’s speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention (RNC), which involved him having a discussion with an invisible Obama seated in a chair, a twitter account popped up mocking the actor for his conservative outburst. Predictably, Eastwood’s liberal Hollywood colleagues were not too fond of his outspoken condemnation of the President.
The Twitter account, titled Invisible Obama features a twitter profile picture of, what else… an empty chair.
By Friday morning, its Twitter following was well over 39,000.
And Eastwood’s agreeing to appear at a Republican Convention does not put him in good standing with the rest of Hollywood or the liberal media either.
Eastwood has been showered with hate speech ever since his dramatic speech which ended with the punch line, “when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.”
“Drunk,” “Sad,” “Pathetic,” and “Crazy,” are just some of the words used by liberals to describe Eastwood.
The Huffington Post is featuring an article called, “EASTWOOD UNHINGED: Clint looses it at Republican Convention.”
But the real problem that makes liberals feel the need to lash out with hate, is that the GOP finally got a little bit of star power… and star power from one of the greatest legends in Hollywood at that.
And the greatest thing about the blowback is that no matter how hard Eastwood’s put-out Hollywood peers try to peg him as, “off his rocker,” the sound of that familiar voice openingly scoffing at Obama’s failed policies and the visual of the greatest tough-guy in American film drawing a line across his throat to signal the end of Obama’s career is the only thing that is going to stick.
About Regina Conley
I don’t think he cares…I highly doubt that at Clint Eastwood’s age he will care a whit about what liberals or the liberal press say about him after his performance last night. After you’ve been alive 82 years, life has a certain perspective that the poor behavior of others cannot alter. I found him very entertaining and he did to them what liberals have done to every conservative since the beginning of political time: laugh at them. He had the guts to do what few conservatives will: make fun of Obama for the pompous a$$ he is. While watching, I imagined Clint for the last 4 years doing what my dad did as he watched Obama–yelling and swearing at the TV over how he and his administration have been ripping our Constitution to shreds–especially after serving in the armed forces to preserve it. Well Clint got to do his “yelling” publicly last night and I enjoyed it–he was spot on.
“After you’ve been alive 82 years, life has a certain perspective that the poor behavior of others cannot alter.” Well said Chicagobluesgirl. And Clint said it very well!
Clint is 82 years old; he was a surprise addition to the RNC convention and he spoke without any notes! But other than the entertainment I got from Clint and the chair (which was an absolute riot because it looked he completely improvised that at the last minute), he said some crucial things about the failings of our current administration which hit home, and this is what the liberals don’t like. It hit a few nerves with them and I’m sure that they didn’t like that such a behemoth man in Hollywood was the one to deliver the BOLD messages! I say Clint was great and I loved that he didn’t cower to Lefties’ pressure to not speak out.
I’m getting frustrated with this site for posting comments. I posted two times and it didn’t post. What gives Red Alert? I was going to agree with everything Chicagobluesgirl said! You hit on all the points I was going to post.
I’ve always enjoyed watching Mr. Eastwood. His voice, his humor, his lack of caring whether others hate him. The only person I could enjoy near as much would be Charlton Heston. Of course, these to Hollywood giants are great inspirations, and I’m glad that out of Leftywood there came two men with balls enough to stand up for what they believe.
Thought Clint Eastwood’s did a great job channeling Jimmy Stewart’s role in Harvey as he applied it to BHO’s transparency presidency.
Mr. Eastwood, what a great & courageous man you are!!! I’m so grateful you are an American! You truly an honorable American! May God continue to bless you.
