Truther Martin Sheen
Calls Romney 'Stupid'

Breitbart's Big Hollywood, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Photoonist, 10/29/2012 3:16:07 PM

Actor Martin Sheen, about to start shooting a film based on the notion that 9/11 was an inside job, thinks Mitt Romney is stupid. Sheen, who recently told us President Barack Obama would win in a cakewalk, opened up about the GOP challenger to The Huffington Post. He first focused on Romney's recent presidential debate performance and later dropped some Occupy Wall Street lingo on the interviewer. (Snip) " He’s never had to compete for a job or face eviction or struggle to get a college loan. He’s a guy that the old phrase applies to: ‘he was born on

Comments:
Sheen is a drug-addled maroon. Romney and his wife lived in a basement apartment going to college with a desk formed by an old door on sawhorses. He also served overseas as a missionary which in no way is a glamorous lifestyle. Martin Sheen is the perfect idiot to represent the left along with his co-star Woody Harrelson. The movie budget must have a heavy choom ration in it.

I think Romney's IQ is probably around 160, if not higher. And I've heard several acquaintances of his say he's one of the smartest people they have ever met.

Marten Sheen? Does he have any brain cells left? I would guess not.

If anybody is a maven on stupid, it should be Martin. Just because you played the prez, doesn't mean you have a clue.

Maybe Hollyweird can hire Zippy in Jan.

Let me get this straight.

C. Sheen:
-Married and divorced three times.
-Accused of physically and mentally abusing all three wives.
-Caught with multiple prostitutes.
-Rageaholic
-Full blown alcoholic.
-Full blown drug addict.

And he's calling Mitt Romney stupid?

For thousands of years nobody cared about what entertainers thought about serious topics. It was widely understood that performers, regardless of talent, were in general ignorant, immoral, egotistical and childlike. They were applauded for their performances. Decent people did not associate with them - not in public anyway. They had bad habits and were bad company.

The lowering and coarsening of standards in the past century has changed all that. Actors, actresses, entertainers and celebrities are actually looked up to by some people - usually young people with little experience of life. The cult of celebrity invests them with qualities of intelligence and wisdom that are seldom present.

Thus one can, and should complain of an airhead like Martin Sheen and his foolish opinions about politics or anything else of importance. But the reason he thinks his opinion is worth something is that other people do too. The real problem, the problem that is causing all the problems, is the fan base of people like Sheen and Obama and other celebrities. They are the load that is likely to swamp and sink the ship of state.

The truther film that Sheen and his fellow travellers are making will be a major BOMB at the box office. What these people don't know is that the majority of Americans love their country and don't believe that this was an inside job. This will also be very painful to those who lost loved ones on that day. Maybe Sheen's next film should be "Benghazi Nights" if he wants to highlight real malice and incompetence.

There are reasons someone who graduates with honors from Harvard Law School and in the top 5% of his Harvard MBA class don't have to "compete" for a job or face eviction, but being dumb isn't one of them.


Reply 22 - Posted by: cactus, 10/29/2012 4:30:44 PM     (No. 8972706)

I suspect Goveror Romney didn't have to compete for a job because he created his own - plus a whole lot of others. By the way, he gave away his inheritance, took no salary for saving the Olympics or for being governor of Massachusetts. Right now he has his campaign busses delivering supplies to emergency shelters. What have you done with your life, Martin, besides complain about the USA? I think I prefer Governor Romney.

I have to laugh when I see one of these Hollywood "stars" commenting on politics. They always seem to have had their fifteen minutes of fame, but now the spotlight is dimming, and choice roles are becoming fewer and farther between.

Actors in low-budget, "B" movies feel compelled to remind everyone in Hollywood that they're liberals. It helps them to get parts in movies and television programs. In Hollywood, the worst possible scenario is to be forgotten. It's much worse than any kind of bad press.

Darn it #38 you stole my thunder. It looks like the fake president Ramon Estevez aka Marty Sheen is up to his old tricks again. Remember when this tool called President Bush a moron. Even though he unlike Sheen has a BA in history from Yale and a MBA from Harvard. Now he is calling a far smarter man in Mitt Romney a dummy. A man who like Bush got his MBA from Harvard along with his law degree. He even graduated at the top 5% of his class. Long story short this highschool graduate calling the governor stupid is like me calling Obama a great president or Moochelle Obama gorgeous. Totally laughable.

Re #36: The expression "maroon" in place of moron comes from an old (probably circa 1950s) episode of Bugs Bunny, except that Bugs actually said "Ultramaroon."

As for Martin Shinola, a bigger political numbskull would be hard to imagine. Martin is wrong about 100% of the time, and needs to quit opening up his ignorant mouth.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides.

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia.

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday.

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

The White House says Obama is going to argue that lawmakers have an

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
