Vikings4ever 500 Posted April 6, 2008 semi on topic, anyone got a political read on Leno? He seems like he's down with GOP (yeah you know me) too. I know he's friends with Ah-nold, but I have no idea if that means anything politically. He seems to keep his political views quiet off camera, and I think the late night hosts (at least on network TV) are encouraged to keep their personal politics quiet on camera.

IndyTom 0 Posted April 6, 2008 He use to be one, but he jumped the shark on that. This is a list that someone has tried to compile of Hollywood Republicans. As many have written, these are the ones that have openly admitted it while statistically there are many more who don't want to risk their careers if a producer or casting agent happens to be a Dem donor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hollywood_Republicans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chronic Husker 85 Posted April 6, 2008 From the transcript....go find the video if you like...doesn't seem like Moore had to edit much to get Heston's points across.... Hi. It's Michael Moore hereto see Charlton Heston. Okay. Hi. Good morning. - How are you? - Fine. Thank you very much for agreeing to see me. He took me out to his pool-and-tennis house so we could have a chat. I told him that I was a lifetime member of the NRA and showed him my membership card. Good for you. Well done. I assume you have guns in the house here? Indeed I do. Bad guys take notice! So you have them for protection? - Yeah. Sure. - Have you ever been - a victim of crime? - No. No. - Never been assaulted or...? - No. No violence toward you, but you have guns in the house. - Loaded. - They're loaded? Well, if you really needed a weapon for self-defence, - you need it loaded. - Okay, but why... why do you need it for self- defence? Because-- - I don't. - Yeah, you've never been a victim of crime, you haven't been assaulted. - No, that's true. - You haven't been, you know... Why would you... So why not... Why don't you unload the gun? Because the second amendment gives me the right - to have it loaded. - I agree. I totally agree with that. I'm just saying... I mean, the second amendment gives me-- Let's say it's a comfort factor. It gives you comfort to know that there's a loaded gun. Yeah. Comfort meaning that it allows you to relax and feel safe? - Not worry about it. - Not worry, not be afraid. And I'm not really, but, uh... I'm exercising one of the rights passed on down to me from those wise, old, dead white guys that invented this country. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me. But you could still exercise the right, just by having a gun unloaded and locked away somewhere. I choose to have it. What sort of strikes me as interesting is that, in other countries, where they don't have the murder rate, the gun-murder rate that we have, that, uh... many people say, "Well, that's because they don't have guns around. It's hard to get a gun in Britain or Germany or whatever." But we went to Canada and there's seven million guns - in -million homes. - There won't be very long. - But hear me out, though. - Okay. Canada is a nation of hunters, millions of guns, and yet, they had just a few murders last year. That's it. A country of -million people. Now, why - here's my question - why is it that... that they've got all these guns laying around, yet they don't kill each other at the level that we kill each other? I think American history is... uh... has a lot of blood - on its hands. - And Germany history doesn't? - No. - And British history? - I don't think as much. - Oh, are you... Germans don't have as much, blood on their hands? - Uh, they do, yes. - The Brits, they ruled the world for years at the barrel of a gun. They're all violent people. They have bad guys, they have crime, they have lots of guns-- " "Well, it's an interesting point, which can be explored and you're good to explore it at great lengths, but I think that's about all I have to say on it." "You don't have any opinion, though, as to why that is, that we are the unique country, the only country that does this, that kills each other on this level, with guns?" "Well, we have, probably, more mixed ethnicity than other countries, some other countries." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
