Call me crazy, but I am a dyed flaming redheaded conservative, alternative rock-loving, tattooed, Sinead O'Connor fan who knows every song from the '50's and '60's, and card carrying member of the Republican party.

Wish I could have been a fly on the wall at this awards dinner. Way to go, Mr. Eastwood. Make our day!

 

Eastwood stunned a New York filmmaking audience with his comments, the New York Daily News' Lloyd Grove reported today in his must-read column.

"Michael Moore and I actually have a lot in common - we both appreciate living in a country where there's free expression," Eastwood was quoted as telling the National Board of Review awards dinner in New York Tuesday night.

With a cold glare Eastwood took notice of Moore sitting in the audience and said bluntly and without a smile: "But, Michael, if you ever show up at my front door with a camera - I'll kill you."

The Daily News reports the audience erupted in laughter, and Eastwood grinned. "I mean it," Eastwood said again.

One of the few Republicans in Hollywood, Eastwood had once served as Mayor of Carmel, Calif.

Eastwood made his comments while accepting the Special Filmmaking Achievement prize for "Million Dollar Baby."

Moore was said to be in the rear of the audience when Eastwood made his biting remarks.

Moore also won the group's "Freedom of Expression" award for his Bush-bashing "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Apparently, Moore has not taken kindly to death threats in the past.

The News notes that last year "Moore was outraged when CNN anchor Bill Hemmer suggested during an interview that some folks might want to see him dead."

"Can you think of any other interview in the history of television where a politician or a movie director was asked about people wanting to see him dead?" Moore was quoted as saying.

Moore may have lightened up a bit. His agent told the News: "Michael laughed along with everyone else, and took Mr. Eastwood's comments in the lighthearted spirit in which they were given."

Yikes! (Imagine Jack Layton showing up at Mr. Harper's door and being greeted with gunfire. )


Even better: Ralph Klein getting shot by Stephen Harper. That makes one of them dead and the other in jail. 2 for 1!

With Michael Moore's character, he may just show up to Eastwood's house as part of his next movie about all the right wing nuts jobs in Hollywood. (Anybody right of him is a Right-winger , in his mind).

I really do not think Clint will shoot him. (Well maybe just wing him). But I personally think Clint will come out and beat the living tar out of him. Even at the age of 90 something, I think Clint could take him. Now I would pay the movie ticket to see that.

That's My Two Cents

I am genuinely shocked that a blog applauding a murder threat is on the homepage. Shame.

As they say, if you don't like the flavour of the free icecream, you can always go somewhere else. Or something like that anyway. I think it was more in fun than anything else though, and I doubt Michael Moore is so uptight as to get concerned about it. I'd think a lot less of him if he did.

Dr Guy ejaculated: 'Oh Look! A LLL lefter! Typical cliches, with the mandatory VRWC! And of course the "it is not my fault!".
As they say on Ghost Busters. "We got one!"
Please tell us more of your trite and tried cliches! And how you are going to save the world!
Oh wait, you dont offer any solutions, just condemnations.
Sorry, just be yourself! We will look for solutions from the more intelligent people!


Dr. Guy,

Your reply makes no sense. Is english your first language? If not, I apologize if this comes off as harsh. Your idiotic comment appears to be a knee jerk partisan response to a legitimate point that I made. No cliches were used, no mention of conspiracies, the word 'fault' does not appear, I don't know what VRWC means, you are imagining all of this. I am neither L nor L nor L; my opposition to homicide is based on ancient Judeo Christian values. I offer no condemnations and have made no claim of saving the world.

Have you had a psych exam done recently? Because you appear quite mad going by your comments on other peoples' blogs. Someone wrote an article recently that the articles here at JoeU haven't declined in quality, it's the comments. I think he had you in mind. You, "Dr" Miller, ModerateMan, and TerpFan should be banned from commenting given your proclivity to trolling.

Seriously, reread your 'reply' to my comment. No added value, just name calling, ASSumptions, partisan crap. I can write a bot in about 20 lines of code that does what you do:

Class Troll{
import blogging.troll.*;

private void makeStupidComment (boolean partisanFlag, int trollIntensity)
String vitriol ;
while (true){ //infinite loop
vitriol = scanNewsMax (partisan, false);//cut and paste partisan 'news stories', cause its easier than thinking n' writing
makeRetardedPost(vitriol, false); //no need to add anything other than grunts
//now on to comments
if (readJoeUser(right)== FOUND_GOOD_ARTICLE){//lets sully some good articles with retarded comments
int randomPartisanRant = randInt(2);
switch( randomPartisanRant ):
case STANDARD_PARTISAN_CRAP:
out.println("Oh Look! A LLL lefter! Typical cliches, with the mandatory VRWC! And of course the "it is not my fault!");//namecalling, ASSuming, tinfoilhat trifecta
case SECONDARY_PARTISAN_CRAP:
out.println("Please tell us more of your trite and tried cliches! And how you are going to save the world!");//doesnt make sense, but who cares?
case INSULT_INTELLIGENCE:
out.println("Sorry, just be yourself! We will look for solutions from the more intelligent people!");//top it off with an insult and you've got an authentic retarded comment!
}
}
}

Please, Dr. Guy. If you don't have anything good to say, don't drag the rest of us down to your level.

Ooh!  Me thinks we wounded one!  See how they  lash out and accuse others of their very tactic?  I did not know that LLL was an insult.,or being accused of whining without offering solutions was name calling.  Guess it is in your book!  And then as soon as you make several non-points, you turn around and question my sanity!  And hide behind Anonimity.  You spout off tirades, with still no solutions, just whining, and attack those who point it out, calling them names that you accuse them of calling you. 

I called you a leftist.  if you are not, I can see why you would be so offended, but I fail to see how a political labeling, rightly or wrongly is name calling.  You however, bring out your insults first, and reason never.  Just an excuse of where your non-answer is based in.

You are so easy, I know why you chose to remain anonymous.  You could not even hold a candle to the Lefties on this site!  Almost all are very rational, sane a well reasoned, even if I do disagree with them.  You are just a small name caller that offers no arguments, just nasty slurs.

Enough space has been wasted on you.  Bye, troll. (Sorry, I did call you a name after all, didn't I?)

No, canadians are not like that:http://www.crimelibrary.com/features/fea_printPage.asp?sect=2&curPage=&thisFile=/serial_killers/predators/robert_pickton/1.htmlOr that:http://www.crimelibrary.com/features/fea_printPage.asp?sect=8&curPage=&thisFile=/notorious_murders/mass/marc_lepine/index.htmlOr That:http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/notorious/bernardo/7.html?sect=1No canadians are not like that.For more exciting reading, go here:http://ss910.logika.net/cgi-bin/ss_query?keys=canada&submit=GO&ct=10&sitenbr=61032486Canadians are all peace loving leftist that would not hurt a fly.


You should try to pay attention to the entire conversation latour999 and I were having. To summarize, what we were saying was that political leaning, whether left or right, never results in Canadians shooting at each other. The men we were talking about were leaders of our different political parties. (Of course, I didn't really expect you to know this.)

Also, a highly recognizable person making a documentary, armed with nothing but a camera, showing up at a Canadian's door, would not be shot at. Our police would frown on such a thing. But, I guess our laws are different than yours in this respect.

Now the outcome of a Montreal Canadiens/Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game has been known in the past to spark some violence, but that's a different matter.

We were not saying that there are no, nor has there ever been, sicko murderers in Canada. That's just silly. Of course there are. We are a western nation after all.

Of course if you *knew* anything of US culture you would know that Clint was blowing smoke! Us authorities frown upon uncalled for shootings. To make a personal defence issue fly Clint would have to prove that he considered his life in danger.
