Clint Eastwood Speaks At RNC

Post by SHMIV »

Clint speaks at RNC and interviews an invisible Obama. It's kind of rambling, but has some humorous moments. He also makes some good points.

A lot of people on both sides dismiss this as rambling, but to go 10 minutes with no teleprompter, one prop, and getting the laughs he did that takes skill.

The downside to all of this is with all of the attention this video is getting is time not spent talking about Romney's speech (or even Marco Rubio's which was also good).

Oh, I wasn't being dismissive, at all. I did note that some say that he bombed, but the audience reaction shows that he didn't.

I thought it was pretty good for his age and such.

It was highly strategic and poll results indicate he was successful. Eastwood talked and acted like a neighbor conversing on your front porch, talking man to man with the audience, with unaffected and unscripted humor. His criticisms of Obama were as subtle and cutting as a Sicilian stiletto, and the Obama campaign's response demonstrated that Eastwood had gotten under Obama's thin skin. The millions of bitter clingers got it; the millions of pusillanimous libtards did not.

I had a SCAR 17 and 16. I also had a bunch of Glocks and a couple H&K pistols. Oh and a DDM4, but I sold everything when our government told me these dangerous tools can actually hurt someone. Apparently they grow legs and go on killing sprees.

Did a search and found it though. Nice!
Gotta agree with firemanbob, sometimes folks grow impatient too easily. It's understandable due to the pure convenience we have become accustomed to. I for one think things are too easy nowadays. Especially for our kids. No one has any patience anymore and it shows. This is why I like hanging out with the old guys from hard outdoor working backgrounds.

I think that Eastwood was brilliant. The only thing stronger to represent Obama than an empty chair would have been an empty suit. Eastwood's humor drove his points home in a memorable way, as did his easy-going delivery. His points were deadly accurate, and hence the outcry from the left. If the left weren't scared, they wouldn't have given Eastwood a letter of ink.

I agree completely!

I can't do that to myself either.
