Let's assume you're right.  He makes a wrong assumption about Palin in a random interview.  Somehow, that makes him a total idiot?

The rest of my post IS relevant.  And so is the one that Aussie just posted.

Palin is the idiot.

Assume? Are still trying to say Damon wasn't being serious?

Yes, if he can be misled by a lefty INTERNET BLOG JOKE, he is an idiot.

No it's not relevant. Let me remind you, we are talking about Matt Damon said and how utterly wrong he was.

Again, what's more idiotic?  Being misled by an internet article or believing in a ridiculous interpretation of religion?

See, here you go again. At what point did you think this was a debate over who is dumber?

The article itself doesn't offer any real proof.

It quotes some guy. Which whilst not overwhelming proof, it's more than you're currently offering.

Comedy gold..lol. I'm not the one bringing outrageous allegations backed by "some guy".

Some guy that was quoted in a newspaper is generally more widely accepted by people as the truth than  some guys post on an internet forum. I assume the newspaper did some research to prove that he was who he says and he had some sort of acquaintance with Palin. All you're saying is he's wrong.

But in any case, if the LA Times is printing that as fact, whether or not it is true, it's perfectly possible that that is where Damon got his opinion from and not from a parody on the internet.

Don't assume. If you guys would have paid attention I posted a link prior to the LA Times article being posted. It included the LA times breakdown.

It's number 3. He's (The LA Times author) not exactly an unbiased source.

Here's what I don't get, Kerry.

You and I tend to agree on some things, but I don't see why you're defending Palin.  She's one of the most idiotic candidates the Republicans have ever had.  She's like a female Dan Quayle.

The only reason I'm defending Damon is because we haven't even seen much about him.  He's just said a few things in interviews.  With Palin, we saw more than enough, and we've definitely seen more than enough of Kristol.

DEWD, get over Palin..lol. My contention is that going on national Television and quoting a lefty joke as truth is just plain stupid.

If Palin were to be president I'd swallow a bullet. .. if it makes you feel better.

I don't really see it as a lefty joke, personally.  Even if I was more conservative socially, I'd still find Palin idiotic and the joke about her funny.

Damon was apparently mistaken, but the joke itself doesn't seem too far from the truth.

Really? Not a Joke? Authored by "Lizards of Satan for McCain-Palin."?

Interesting. In any case, the fact remains he could have very easily have read it in a newspaper, and not an internet parody.

Given the last 8 years...  Lizards might've been smarter.

i remember when kerry was running for potus and all those douche bags thought they could actually sway the masses opinion cause they wore brightly colored shirts that supported a fellow douche bag.
matt damon was one of em. so was jack black. both complete douche bags.
and many more are on that list, i just dont feel like wasting the energy of typing their names.


hollywood, you are allowed to have an opinion, but when you try and force it on me, you can go fuck yourselves

Really?  Is Arnold Schwartznegger a douchebag for supporting Bush?  Is Jon Voight a douchebag for supporting McCain?

oh ya, you will find no double standards here.


if you are a star, and you think that your opinion will have an effect on the masses, and try to convince people of your views, then fuck off.



johnny depp is a great example of how i would like all the actors to behave.

I think you'll find that very few actors aren't opinionated.  It's kind of their nature.  Depp has actually said some pretty disparaging things about America, but honestly, I thought some of them were pretty accurate.

Still, I can level with you somewhat.  I don't like some of the egos that actors have, like Tom Cruise, but when it comes to politics, I'm ok with either side being supported by whoever.

If Dennis Hopper likes Bush, more power to him.  If Damon likes Obama, good for him.

The only reason these guys do actually speak up is because some people are swayed by them.  It is kind of sad that an actor has that power, but then again, when did most people actually vote on policy?

Why is it ok for thousands of volunteers to force their opinions on you, but not people who's chosen profession is acting?

I guess it is seen as an unfair advantage. They are exploiting their position (who doesn't really ). Professional politicians should be given the spotlight, the microphone, and the podium. Let them sell their platform.. it's scary to think that Jason Bourne or "Nacho Libre" is swaying votes.

That's not really my beef though.

Other politicians do the same, as do many famous people. It's just that actors are generally better liked. I see your point, but I think Parker's taking it a bit far.

i know, making three posts in a thread is taking it a bit far.



i apologize, and i will make sure i keep my thoughts to myself from now on.




i wouldnt want to seem like one of the hollywood douche bags or anything

The whole idea of "endorsing" anyone seems lame to me. It's as if to tell the ill informed I like this guy, so you mindless fucks should too.

Well, Tom Hanks and Ron Howard did find some creative ways to endorse Obama.  Both of them took potshots at themselves in the process.

Fair enough.

Less irritating than you'd expect thanks to his self-deprecation and candor.
