Actor Clint Howard Ridicules Dems Afraid to Meet Voters

Will Ron respect his brothers different point of view, or will we be seeing less of Clint Howard in future films?

If the less talented of the Baldwins being sneaked into The Cat in the Hat serves as any indication, I think I know which one I'd put my money on.

When all the excuses to avoid town hall meetings fail just demonize your opponents.

Speaking up takes guts! You're the man, Clint! Our Founders would be proud!

Clint. You are my favorite Howard.

Well…GOOD on Clint Howard! He's risen several notches in my estimation.
Continued success to you, Clint!
Brother Ron has become one of those tiresome 'cause' advocates that Clint mentions.

have some tranya, I hope you relish it as much as I do.

Well Clint always had to work harder than his brother for his money, my guess like the rest of us he likes to keep more of it. Good going Clint.

He's on Hugh Hewitt's radio program quite a lot. Total rightie and seems a bright, informed, down to earth guy, as well.

Yes, something like 'I would do a Townhall meeting but I don't want o see all those racist homophobes'.

Love that movie and love that scene (I didn't even realise who he was) and I love his 'move'.

He's honest, courageous and conservative. This guy's career is toast.

either side would be fine with me, just don't miss. nice to see there is one smart member of the howard family!

Right on Clint Howard!

"Howard has no illusions of grandeur. According to him, celebrities who get too heavily involved in political activism can become tiresome. He hopes to avoid this pitfall and act soley as a concerned American."

How many liberals feel the need tp make this qualification before speaking out.

Ron Howard's brother, Clint Howard, is an outspoken Conservative advocate?

Well, dad-gum! Thanks, Big Hollywood and John Nolte, for letting us in on this fact. I sure didn't know that, and I will put it to good use. Tom Hanks and Clint's brother, Ron, sure haven't been getting much money from the TRs the past couple of years!

Clint Howard, you just gained a whole "'nother" audience!

We will take all the Hollywood help we can get………welcome aboard Clint, you are appreciated.

does james cameron have a brother?

Now I can watch Apollo 13 again without as much guilt. Tom Hanks, Ron Howard and Ed Harris were out weighing Gary Sinise.

I wonder if his little lefty brother Ronny w/ continue to cast him in his films after this?

I believe his token roles in his brother's films are more an exercise of family rather than employment. Besides, he's had plenty of work outside of Ron's films- such as 'The Wraith' the Austin Powers series and of course- the original Star Trek!
Oh BTW He needs a part in the Expendables sequel. He's already done the insane inmate thing with Stallone in Tango & Cash.

I thought he looked familiar.

Bravo, Clint!

Who knew that of the two brothers Clint was actually the more intelligent of the two! Great news.

Boy, looking at this guy now it's hard to believe he was the little boy on Gentle Ben with Dennis Weaver. I guess we're telling our age now !! LOL

Let's raise a cup of tranya to Commander Baalok!

Hard to believe that he and Opie are even related

Democrats are at thepoint of not using the title of (D) while they are doing the meeting until November. Also they really want Obama to keep his distance during the election.

Although I might have missed some of his recent political stupidity. All I know is that he made a commercial with matlock (names are escaping me) supporting Obama. Has he said other really stupid things I should know about (at least recently)?

The men in the Howard family could split hairs over politics except that all the men seem to go bald very early.

Agree, especially with the "courageous" part. To my shame, I don't think I could have done it under similar circumstances.

If blood is thicker than water, he at least should have some roles in future Ron Howard films.

I wonder if he has an idea how much affirmation and adulation he can receive from, oh, 70% of the US population if he plays his cards right.

They say Zeppo was the funniest Marx brother, too. There's a lot we don't know out here in Audience-land.

Didn't Ron direct or appear in a pro-Obama commercial during the presidential elections? I know he did something like that, maybe appearing with Andy Griffith recreating the Mayberry show intro.

To answer your question, check out this link w/ Howard on Maher's show: http://videosift.com/video/Ron-Howard-Bill-Maher-.... And that's just the tip of the ice-berg. He's a HUGE Obama and "Obama-care" supporter. Opie doesn't just lean liberal he's a certified lefty! I don't think he's intellectually dishonest, or a communist either. But I do think it's a big disappointment to find out that he, along w/ fellow lefty Andy Griffith, have such extreme left-wing political views that stray so far away from the core values which were such an integral part of The "Andy Griffith" show. One of the pre-eminent Americana shows of all time!

It's the curse of the Character actor… but the blessing is that there's always work for them.

Indoor plumbing, I believe.

Clint Howard is the man! He has played small but always remember-able parts in every kind of movie from low budget B-movies to big budget blockbusters. He may have not gotten the looks, but he has the brains- and common sense!

Amen! Indoor plumbing wins over sliced bread any day of the week and twice on Sunday!

I hate when that happens!

I guess Clint is off his brother's Christmas card list.
