Matt Damon: Mouthpiece for ACORN Spawn, Working Families Party
by Liberty ChickIt looks like Matt Damon’s been overdosing on Kool-Aid again. He’s apparently doing the bidding now for the ACORN spawn, Working Families Party. Watch as he asks you for his birthday present.
—–
I’m about to celebrate a very important birthday myself, Matt. On November 13th, I turn 41 ! I know, I can’t believe it either.
If there’s something you want to give me for my birthday that’s going to really cheer me up, please tell the recently departing Working Families Party co-chair Bertha Lewis to stop referring to constitutional conservatism as “McCarthyism”. And while you’re at it, could you please ask your friend, President Obama not to call American citizens “enemies” simply for not belonging to his political party?
I think maybe it’s time to step away from Soroswood and start paying attention to the real world.
Perhaps we need to remind folks about the Working Families Party.
Originally founded by ACORN, the United Auto Workers (UAW), and the Communication Workers of America (CWA), the Working Families Party serves as a coalition of organizers and activists for what it claims are social and economic justice causes. In states where it is legally permitted, WFP also sponsors candidates via what’s called “fusion voting“. Instead of splitting the vote with a third-party, fusion voting allows groups to endorse a candidate under a different banner.
So, in reality, WFP enables their coalition’s endorsed candidates to get listed on the ballot – twice. I’m sure that’s not intentionally misleading for voters at all (eye roll).
While WFP lobbies for a “free public education for all”, its interests are really focused more on those of the militant labor unions with which they are allied, not the genuine interests of working families. Simply watch the documentary, “The Lottery,” and you’ll see members of the Working Families Party at their finest. As successful charter schools are lifting minorities and low-income families up to a whole new educational level that never would have existed through “free public school” in their communities otherwise, WFP and its union allies like the United Federation of Teachers instead shout them down and threaten them. WFP’s allies of course vehemently oppose both private and public charter schools, because those facilities don’t submit to the commands of labor unions. The charter school featured in the film is of course focused on the well-being of the children, not of the labor unions. Union bosses don’t take well to that.
Former Working Families Party co-chair and NY state co-chair Bertha Lewis was also once the CEO and Chief Organizer of the mighty ACORN, before it disbanded from its national brand name to a multitude of local and statewide affiliates under different names (thanks to those infamous prostitution tapes).
Ms. Lewis departed from the WFP organization in February this year, in the wake of the federal investigation of its for-profit company, Data and Field Services over claims it was using their company to skirt around the city’s stringent campaign finance laws. In the end, the feds decided not to file any charges against WFP; however, the investigation resulted in the organization’s restructuring to create firewalls between the for-profit company from the rest of WFP.
Let’s also not forget the sordid story behind real estate mogul Bruce Ratner of Forest City Ratner. The infamous Atlantic Yards project in NY is a multi-year long story of buyoffs, intimidation and corruption, not to mention the audacity of a massive land grab. Bertha Lewis and the WFP, initially opposed to the land grab because of their concerns about the “gentrification” of Brooklyn, quickly turncoated on their Brooklyn neighbors as soon as Ratner offered Lewis a $1.5 million bailout and a 50/50 deal on housing in his future high-end condos. (The Atlantic Yards Report is the go-to source on this never-ending saga).
Also a notable personality associated with the Working Families party you may recognize – White House Political Director Patrick Gaspard. While the liberal media once did all it could to deny that Gaspard ever had any relation whatsoever to the corrupt WFP or ACORN, the truth is, the evidence says otherwise.
Harassment, intimidation, corruption, race baiting, union pandering, back-room deals. That’s progressive, all right.
And so, Matt Damon, as we remember one of the voices of the Working Families Party, I leave you with this final word. Brought to you by none other than Client Number Nine.
“Progressive values. That’s what the Working Families Party is all about: Progressive values.”
Yeah, Matt. Let’s keep that change alive.

I honestly don't think someone could pay me enough to care about Matt Damon's opinion.
Wow. So was that Al Franken pretending to be Matt Damon or was that Matt Damon playing Franken? There really is a liberal gene!
Couple creepy things I was struck by, the "romper room" music playing in the background along with the bribing of him wearing the Yankees hat so that the "children" will vote the "WF" way. Reminded me of a grade school principal promising to be dunked if the kids read a certain number of books. Also loved the close up of how to fill in the WF Party Line bubble. No condescension there to the people!
Lastly, Al Damon characterized the WF as a "unique" progressive movement. Theoretically, any progressive movement, be it socialist, communist, leftist by its very nature squelches all that is UNIQUE. Unique flies in the face of their goal to make all equally controlled and coddled into the arrested development that allows total government dominance. Nothing unique about it.
Matt, you should stick to role playing and leave intelligent, rational thought to those who have as a minimum a high school diploma. Why do those of you that think that memorizing a few lines for the camera amounts to something of worth? You add absolutely nothing to the fabric of this country.
Matt… he's so, yesterday.
When Damon gives away all his money and possessions to the underpriveleged, then I'll consider his socialist message.
Meanwhile, I plan to boycott anything he's associated with.
I've seen him portray rational beings and be believeable, so now I'm really impressed with his acting ability.
Must be really challenging to come back from the far side and seem reasonable in front of the camera.
Well he does have on serious glasses…so he must be smart…
Seriously, Damon scares me. Now he's in the movie about a reluctant guy with supernatural powers. He's setting his image up to be portrayed as something "special". He's creepy. Mark my words, he's got big plans for himself.
Oh and you can't have a Matt Damon thread without:
MATT DAMON!
Sorry I just can't resist.
So Matt, with a multi-million dollar acting career and a nice, comfortable life out in Hollywood, why would you shun the very ideals that made you wealthy and endorse policies designed to keep people from being wealthy?
According to the WFP website, they're for affordable housing in NYC (which would be fine and dandy if New York didn't have some of the most stringent rent control laws in the country, but I digress), and fair funding for public schools (I guess spending nearly $17,000 per student isn't enough; more than charter schools) among other things. And NYC has been a progressive city for as long as I can remember.
Boy, at 41 you would think he would start to` wise up ' , but then again……………………………………..
I love that, in his desperation to prove that he's smart and engaged with Important Stuff, Damon only makes himself look like a bigger tool than the various celebrities who say uninformed leftist things on a daily basis.
If you can give a cutesy speech about how important all your dumb ideas are, that doesn't make the ideas any less terrible.
AMERICA !
……………..F_ _ _ Yeah !
Most of that movie cracked me up…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWTzyU5MFgM
This will be the place to watch the results! I can't wait!
Help Us Decide Which House Races to Cover at http://mittromneycentral.com/2010/11/01/election-...
This will be epic and monumental!
Mitt is that you ?
Douchebag has become somewhat of an overused and overwrought term in our vernacular, but in this instance it fits Damon like a glove.
Oh MAATT DAAAAAMON, I thought you learned your lesson about saying stupid things and went back to being an ACTOR. Guess I was wrong. Keep talking, you lose another vote for your side with every syllable you utter. Thanks.
And ironically, the surest way for a "working family" to find themselves out of work is to vote WFP. Damon's progressive words versus his money-making actions fall right in line with the schizophrenic logic these movements predictably tout. There's a self-loathing narrative at work there somewhere.
what about me? my birthday came and went, and nobody asked me what i wanted for my birthday. now my birthday is in may, but today a democrat ass kicking nation wide would be a reason for me to have a second birthday today, with a cake and candles. so matt what are you getting me for my birthday? now i am leaving in about an hour to go and vote, have my present ready when i return home, and i have a blood pressure problem, so no hiding in the dark, and yelling surprise. just leave your present and leave, i don't want my neighbors to know i even associate with a socialist like you matt, they might want to burn down my house.
Dear Mr. Damon,
I voted. I voted for Paladino, I voted for DioGuardi, I voted for Townsend, I voted for Castelli, I voted for Hayworth, I voted for Ball – Mr. Damon I voted for change. You can vote for the Communist Party under the banner of the "Working Families Party" all you want, this is America, and if you want to be a Communist go right ahead. You can count me, and the rest of the United States of America out.
Joe Doakes
The most charitable (and also the most damning) thing I can say about Damon is "Bless his heart. He means well."
I would like to see, at least once, one of these Hollywood types give away all their money before they begin asking us to do the same thing. I would respect (but not agree with) those who do so.
I have zero respect, and 100% contempt for all the rest who engage in such folly.
Damon is pretty good, playing the zombie assassin Jason Bourne, with all the choreographed hand-to-hand combat and the cool chase scenes. But his acting chops were learned at the Steven Seagal School of Thespian Arts.
In Good Will Hunting, when he mentioned Howard Zinn, I knew he'd drunk the hard-left koolaid (kookaid?)
Matt has been propted up from the very beginning of his acting debut.
Good Will Hunting was produced and directed by hollywood socialists with the goal of using Matt and his idiot friends as usefull idiots for the far lefts propaganda machine. They, hollywood, even gave them an academy award to jump start their careers.
The far left has been working on this war against America and Americans for 60 years and hollywood is a primary weapon they use on us and our children.
Now watch today, as we win this battle at the poll's, but this is just the beginning, our work is not done until all of this filth is pushed back into the holes they came from.
Boy, I bet Matt’s mom is real busy seeing his movies, he can be certain that my wife and I will not be attending. You want to effect Matt, take his stuff away, boycott the jerk.
And if you didn't I was going to. MATT DAMON!
He actually lived near Howard Zinn when he was a kid, he was indoctrinated years ago.
no.
You can't have a Matt Damon thread without Ben Afffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffleck.

A Cantab is a Yalie who has yet to see the light!
Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is a proud supporter (or was) of the WFP commies, too.
….he DID go to Hahvahd
Liberty,
Thank you for shedding more light of the ignorant hollywood left — and in particular on Damon (one of the stupiest).

He makes me sick and I don't know why I even wasted 30 seconds of my happy election day on his drivel. Hopefully he'll find a rock to crawl under.
Having candidates on multiple ballot lines is common in NY. Nothing out of the ordinary there. Democrats generally also get the liberal party line, republicans the conservative party line.
But not always.
Basically its a very small stick the smaller parties can use to try and influence the bigger parties. I'm not sure a republican has been elected to state wide office with out also being on the conservative party line too, which means, they have a slight influence to pull the GOP right.
Dearest Matthew: There is a VERY good chance that about tonight around 9 – 10 PM you and your lefty Hollywood buddies are going to feel a lot of PAIN. PAIN at losing up to 75 seats in the House and Harry Reid. There is a good chance that tomorrow you could wake up in more PAIN because the Senate has become a Conservative Senate that wants to end the PAIN of Obamacare.
So while you are sitting there spouting Propaganda about the "Working Families Party" ACORN offshoot. Remember that Working Families played a big role in tossing your Lefty Communist Socialist buds out of Washington today.
Have a Good Day…
Have sympathy for poor Matt Damon: It's presumable he was molested by his neighbor Howard Zinn and forced to submit to communism at an early age. (not unlike Obama's Frank Marshall Davis and Indonesian rearing)…
That's just what I was thinking. All he needs is a pipe and a turtle-neck sweater and he could be REALLY smart…
Hey Matt!! Why don't you explain why democrats and liberals are so violent and insane??
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/b...
Does anyone with a brain really want the people these idiots support in charge of anything??
"Mmmaaattt Dammmmmooonnnn!"
Ironically enough, your statement makes me interested in your opinion. It shows intelligence.
Actors just say things that other people write…be it stupid or not. If Matt truly believed in what he was saying, he would divest himself of his fortune and live on 5 figures like the rest of the unwashed.
The WF party has pretty much taken over the city government of the next town over, and they are wrecking havoc. They don't have a new idea between any of them. Same crew, different name.
Here's how the WF people work. There's an empty lot on the south side. The city and the citizens want to turn it into a public parking lot. Simple enough, DPW crew, a couple of trucks of asphalt, an afternoon or two, and you have a parking lot. A few thousand bucks, if that.
But the WF people can't do that, that's just too friggin easy. So instead they're running this through the new sustainable community committee, consulting with green developers, and coming up with a plan that enhances the green presence in the city. Estimated at 2 years and $500,000.
That's what the WF party does. They get nice, safe, cushy jobs, and the citizens picking up the tab can go to hell.
To be fair to all involved, we need to include some other quotes:
Alec Baldwin:By following the rules of the Film Actor's Guild, the world can become a better place; that handles dangerous people with talk, and reasoning; that, is the FAG. way. One day you'll all look at the world us actors created and say, "wow, good going, FAG. You really made the world a better place, didntcha, FAG?"
Sean Penn: Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.
Tim Robbins: Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out… and the corporations sit there in their… in their corporation buildings, and… and, and see, they're all corporation-y… and they make money.
Jeanne Garrofollo: As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it's our own opinion.
Not sure I agree with you on this one. Damon provides right wing comics with a cornucopia of joke material. That's at least a public service.
Excuse me—
Isn't this, the same disgusting jerk, that was "Wild for Obama" ?
Huh !
You should be apologizing.
One NEVER learns.
He's so quick to rail against Palin, but truly needs to study American History, himself.
WPF is nothing, but a "hoodlum-hands-out" fraud.
If you're so into your OWN crap, fund it, out of your OWN pockets, CREEP !
With the majority, of the country, being Conservative Right—
your acting career is TOAST……nobody's gonna' hire you because NOBODY'S gonna watch you.
Something tells me, he's stirring up a political career, when the acting dries up….NOT while I'm alive !
My guess is his big plan involves lotion while watching Red Eye's robot theater.
That movie was great. The South Park guys rarely disappoint.
The daughter and I watched SP on demand the other day, the episode where America is being taken over by people from Jersey reality shows.
I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but its funny as heck.
Isn't that the truth? As it is, I'm guessing he has a couple tax havens set up on a few islands somewhere.
According to the esteemed economist Dr. Thomas Sowell there was a socialist economist in Sweden (who freely admitted he despised capitalism) who had to admit, rent control was the most efficient way to destroy a city, next to bombing it.
And to think, my daughter is a senior at a parochial school and she knows more about the constitution, government and economics than Damon will ever know.
Mitt Romney lost my vote for president when he signed the law for socialized medicine in Mass.
As far as I can tell, that makes him part of the ruling elite. They just know what's best for We The Peope, even if we don't.
Or at least to turn it into Rio de Janeiro- masses of poor surrounding the wealthy's mansions (and condos). No middle class: they can't afford to live there.
San Francisco was already getting there 25 years ago, and now it's just about complete.
I think the Republicans and/or the Tea Party should sue the WFP for false branding and intellectual-property theft.
"Workers of the world unite"! All he's missing is the hammer and sickle.
So, wouldn't they be helping us if they got Obama1 to split with Obama2 and they lost 30% – 30% – to Romney's 40%? That looks like a landslide victory for the Republican majority, while Obama ends up in a sanitarium trying to reconcile his multiple personalities. I'm glad we have Andrew Breitbart on our side, because if anyone can take these commie peace lovers out with teh stylez, it's him. I give this ACORN bunch of porch monkey business another three months before we get to see some more creative vids and our new Republican Congress spits them out like the Maoist loogie they are.
I'm a fellow New Yorker and I've decided just because Prince Andrew Cuomo is such a POS is reason enough to vote for Palidino.
I usually wait till later in the evening to vote. There's practically no lines, I can get in and out.
This election, I'm voting against every ruling establishment candidate on the ballot. If they make their living driving the country off the cliff, then they've had their chance, and I'm voting to fire them.
It's quite possible. He sure knew how to get a guy to write a script for him.
Mitt would make a great Treasury secretary , but thats about it ….
go on lohud.com – I'm on there discussing the asinine voting method with other concerned citizens.
As Dr. Sowell explains it, rent control is nothing more than a prohibition of profits. And the only thing any prohibition does is create a black market.
If honest people can no longer make an honest living, they find something else honest to do. How ever criminals have no problem with making a dishonest living, so they move in to fill the vacuum. Enter the slum lord.
If there is no profit, there is no incentive for land lords to keep up their properties, there's no reason to build new housing, the only incentive is to wring as much out of existing tenants as they can. Once those buildings finally become inhabitable, you've created homelessness.
Insane, maybe, but Democrats I've seen are punks. What they need to remember is that WE'RE the ones who start wars and WE'RE the ones that will stomp their pansy asses into the pavement if they get in the way of progress. The tide is turning, and they'd be better off cowering in the dark than to mark themselves with their witty little signs.
I could buy into that, he does know big business, but wouldn't have ultimate authority over his actions.
I like the way you think.

"Celebrities…is there anything they don't know?" –Homer Simpson
Talk about a machine! I have to think all these wolves in sheeps clothing are finally being recognized for what and who they truly are. Hopefully the time has passed for the ACORNs and the WFPs to be able to operate as usual. It won't happen with just one election cycle but it will start with one. On a side note, I use to love the color green, now anything green makes me think twice.
You have it all wrong. We don't start wars, we finish them.
I'd much prefer after the incumbants are out that democrats will see the folly they supported as just that. We are all Americans after all and I don't consider them my enemy, like Obama does.
BUT
If 1 black panther decides to intimidate anyone for how they vote, then I hope that person is an NRA member….
That's easier to follow. I'm listening to locals complain on the local radio talk show.
Doesn't sound like there are too many issues up here in up state. One voting machine is down, and so the election workers are collecting the paper ballots and promising to run them through it once the technician shows up to fix it. He's supposedly on his way.
Another complaint was ambiguous instructions on how to fill out the ballot. But I've been voting for at least 30 years, and I know the election workers, while not the sharpest pencils in the box, are pretty good, decent, well meaning people. I've never had a problem with them, other than at times helping them to figure out how to do their jobs.
Nothing nefarious though.
Not to mention a slew of accountants and lawyers to make sure he gets every credit, deduction, and tax loophole available. I'm sure I pay more taxes out of my bi-weekly pittance percentage-wise than MAATTTTTT DAAAAMONN does. Yet I'm the selfish, bigoted one.
I still love the color green, I figure it must be God's second favorite color after blue.
In other local news, while the city council is discussing sustainability, they've had to close down a level on one of the parking garages down town, apparently large slabs of concrete are falling from the ceiling.
At first they tried to blame it on the previous administration, till the city engineer pointed out the previous admins had already allocated half a million to address it before it got that bad, but the WF people never even bothered to look into actually spending the money.
If you ask me, that is exactly why they're talking about green spaces, so they don't have to talk about failing infrastructure.
Ben & Jerry are hard core lefties. I used to live in Vermont. But I will say this about them, they are at least honest about what they think. They're not in it for the fame, or the self esteem or the money. They are true believers, so I respect them for that.
Here's an example. Their ice cream generates a lot of what they called factory seconds. Ice cream that was perfectly fine, but didn't pass their ultimate quality inspection. Instead of throwing it away, they set up – with their own money – a series of special ice cream stores around Vermont. They paid for the stores, they donate the factory seconds to the stores, and local boys and girls clubs run them with volunteers and use the money they generate to fund their club activities.
Now that's a pair of lefties putting their money where their mouths are. That I respect.
Hank, we went through hoops galore to get it on with Iraq, and damned If these peacenik Dems are getting credit for yellowcake and all the WMD evidence we dug up to get guns a 'blazin'. If Dems want war, they need to know that we're the ones that'll bring it to them. And, don't worry about Black Panthers. That whole thing is fabricated. New Black Panthers is a myth. We knocked them back to the jungle the first time, and they don't have the organizational capacity to pull their white hate together and can't afford uniforms if they did. Ha. We're the ones with the polling station armies out in their hoods staring into the whites of their eyes. No reason to deflect it. What are they going to do? They're going to stay home and we're going to win.
Unfortunately, you'll never see the Republican Party ante up that sort of support and practical education of the young.
However, I cannot "respect" B&J for their views or their up-front support of them any more than I would support a community organizer for his deft skills in deconstructing our country.
I can completely disagree with some one and still respect them, as long as they are honest with me and themselves. That's a starting point for dialog. And there are fare too few of those on the left these days.
If Obama is any indicator of what a community organizer is, then a CO is nothing more than a future politician building their street cred while working their way through the local political machine.
B&J don't just pay lip service. They actually dig into their own wallets to help build local communities. I may not agree with their politics, but I can agree with them actually working to make things better for the less fortunate. There's not a lot of people on the left who've made it big who are willing to do that. Most would rather raise awareness and campaign for democrats.
It's not enough to listen to what people say, watch what they do. That's how you tell a person's true colors.
Great point. The greenies don't want the "work" it takes to really keep a developing society functioning. The progressives, aka: Fabian Socialists, love taking aspects of what people hold dear, for instance, the act of charity, respect for environment, education, and hijack these noble endeavors to hide their own agenda within them, just like what they've done to the lovely color green.
I respectfully disagree. Iraq blew off 17 UN resolutions, enough to do a regime change, but we didn't. Saddam met with Al Queda terrorists, and we didn't jump on Iraq. We waited until the evidence piled up regarding WMD and finally we went in. The war with Iraq was already there, it just needed a dance partner. We didn't start that, Saddam did. Same with Afghanistan, we didn't start that either. Al Queda did.
So it's fine that others start wars with us as long as we keep finishing them.
Maybe the black panthers are a myth, but anyone wearing fatigues and carrying a nightstick and threatening people because of how they vote at a polling station needs to be looking down the business end of a Colt 1911 Government Model.
Oh yeah, all that stuff is just a simple diversion. But the targets they are trying to divert are their own base.
If they can get their rank and file, int eh trench, modern liberals talking about things like that, they're not paying attention to what the party powerful are doing.
I finally figured it out, and started calling them on it, asking them to justify their actions. Well, they couldn't have that, now could they?
That's basically why I'm here at the Big sites. Commenters may not agree with me, but except for the trolls, conservatives are for the most part willing to openly and honestly debate real issues. That is not allowed on the left. I like it. It's great fun having my positions questioned, and being given the chance to justify them.
The arena of the exchange of free ideas.
Every time I see Matt Damon, I keep thinking of Team America "Matt Damon!"
You'd think modern liberals would have the smarts to question their leaders more. Everything Soros is doing ultimately spells the demise for his "followers" way of life before the conservatives who publically classify him as a detriment. Mass hypnosis or what? I may vote conservative most times but regardless of the party they run under, power corrupts and I intend to keep my eye on every one of them and let them know it. My current Rep. is Eric Cantor (R). He refused to debate the Independent candidate, Bayne, who is more in line with the Tea Party stance than Cantor but since Cantor is in a heavily conservative district, he didn't want to muddy the waters and look like the liberal when standing next to the unknown candidate, Bayne. I gave Cantor hell for that and told him I'd not vote for him because he was hiding behind his Republican Party. One of his minions called my house with lame excuses regarding Cantor's campaign reasoning. Needless to say, he did not get my vote. Cantor will probably win but if he doesn't do the work of chipping away at this monster of a government, he too will suffer at the polls next round.
That's the beauty of how the hard core left works. Simply keep pounding it into the foot soldiers skulls they are correct, they already know everything, and therefore there is no need to question anything or anyone.
Simply just keep repeating the the talking points they're issued from the MSM, academia and now the left wing blogs. If some one challenges A, the proper response is insult B.
That's your race card. If any one questions anything the left says, they are racists. Have questions about global warming? Proper response is they are funded by big oil and belong to the flat earth society. No dialog, no exchange of ideas, no questioning of the official position.
The correct party line for questioning any of this is to claim the questioner has their head shoved up Rush Limbaugh's butt.
The key to keeping all this apparatus operating is to prevent independent thinking, prevent questioning, convince them that independent thinking and asking questions are wrong, to be avoided. That's where the glazed over eyes look comes from when you start pressing modern liberals with facts. It doesn't compute because they've been told its wrong to think for themselves, and they don't even know it.
Therefore the key to unraveling all this is get them thinking on their own. Get them to ponder those questions. Then when they go back to their modern liberal friends, and ask them questions, they'll see just how the left handles non-conformists.
I stopped going to movies and I really haven't missed the experience.
Example…Juan Williams. NPR Paranoia, self-destroya. Just another case of the Night of the Long Knives. Great analysis EdSki.
Matt: STFU & GTFO!
You are describing EXACTLY how these things are done. I see it every day in my work.
Is he under some dilusion that he is as smart as the character he played in a film 15 years ago? It was a fictional Character Matt. In reality you are a moron with a HS education at best.
smooooooooosh
that's cause he was too busy blowing his mind with Zinn
Really? Do you think he cares about your opinion?
Do you think you do? Damon attended Cambridge and Harvard. If a person like Damon isn't considered as having intelligent thought, why do you think Back, Hannity, and Limbaugh do? In fact, all you goofballs who posit that celebrities shouldn't make their opinions known are enthralled by opinionated people like Beck and Breitbart, who have no more qualifications than Damon to express opinions. In my opinion, Damon's opinion is more trustworthy because he's not in the business of selling his opinion. Beck has become very wealthy selling cheap ideas. Breitbart is envious of people like Beck and is working his way up the pundit food chain. What makes you think those people have any more authority to blab their vitriol into the airwaves than actors, who make their living through their craft and are therefore motivated by personal values? They know as much as Beck or Breitbart or Hannity.
That'll teach him. As if you were ever smart enough to appreciate his movies anyway.
Oh, my God. Don't be so goddamned partisan-stupid. Jesus. He's already what he wants to be, you moron. This movie is just one more movie on his resume, and it has no special significance or meaning to him beyond its current ticket sales. His next movie will come out and he'll move on with his career. You know, you dim bulb, that this isn't the first time he's participated in a public service message of a political nature, right?
Jesus, what a bunch of idiots.
Hey, arsehole. These celebrities have never suggested that anyone give all their wealth away. Try to stay down here in reality.
For you to have such a low opinion of his acting skills, you must not have seen a lot of his movies. I suggest you scoot on over to IMDb for a look-back at his career. Very impressive. Only the darkly ignorant would diss such an impressive list of films.
Those socialists! Forever vigilant! And like termites, eating at the foundation of our great nation!
I'm about 100% sure that he doesn't. As a matter of fact, over the past couple of years he's made it pretty clear that he disdains about everything I believe in. That's his right, and he's welcome to that opinion. That being said, I'm pretty certain that no one could pay me enough to care about the fact that he doesn't care about my opinion.
I haven't seen all Damon's films, but he plays every role the same way. Now it's true that this is not a fatal flaw — John Wayne did not have a wide range — but just because Damon was cast in several successful movies does not make him a great actor. Many others could have done as well in the title role in Saving Private Ryan. In the Bourne series, Damon's ordinariness and lack of emotional range was a positive. The Talented Mr Ripley was okay, with Damon playing yet another creepy guy.
The official Matt Damon boycott starts now. Hit 'em where it hurts, the pocketbook.
What do you call the taxes exacted from us to fund this feel-good, giveaway roller coaster they've started us on?
I know lots of people who have actual degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford. Damon "attended?"
I also know lots of people who "attended" all three by striking a glancing blow at summer sessions, one session seminars, etc. All that takes is the money for the fee.
In addition, I know a huge number of people who attended those three plus a lot of other first tier universities who never had the gumption to finish.
CVs that state the subject "attended" a particular name school are very telling. It's BS.
"Attending" those universities, as far as I'm concerned, is a long way from actually graduating with a useful degree.
You're all over this thread defending him. What are you, his flack? President of his fan club?
But it makes you feel important to say so, doesn't it.
Neither of the above. I just can't stand Breitbart hatefests. I love jamming a stick in it.
But let me get to your other point, about Damon attending. He dropped out because his movie career kicked off. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
How do you know how much he knows about the onstitution?
Let me get this straight. You know about Romney's role in the Massachusetts health refrom but you don't hate him enough to completely ban him from government or throw all those words like "socialist" or "un-American" at him?
And it wasn't "socialized" medicine." It was all privately run, except it had a mandate attached to it. That doesn't make it "socialized" because everyone it required to have it, anymore than mandating auto insurance makes it "socialized."
So you're against how your taxes are spent. So am I. I objected to those wars in the Middle East, and how they financially ruined the country. In any case, taxes going to welfare or supporting welfare is not equate to celebrities asking your to give all your money away. Without welfare, the economy would completely collapse. Even your party knows that, which is why they won't attempt to do away with it.
