Charlton Heston Dead at 84

 

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing "Ben-Hur" and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the '50s and '60s, has died. He was 84.

 

A spokesman for the actor's family said Heston died Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills. His wife Lydia was at his side.

This leaves Mel Gibson, Chuck Norris, and Heather Locklear as the last remaining Republicans in Hollywood.

Good call.

 

 

semi on topic, anyone got a political read on Leno? He seems like he's down with GOP (yeah you know me) too.

I guess now someone really can pry that gun out of his cold, dead hands.

I always thought Leno was neutral and leaned right.

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.

I dont think of him as a human being - I think of him as a cartoon of what a real life person shoulda be.

[BMoney 0]

the most shocking thing when u hear this is realizing that he was still alive....i thought he had passed 10 years ago...

 

 

 

 

no wonder im awful at the death pool®

[Giants Fan 85]

He's prolly in Hell right now ... getting a back rub from a cursed Silverback Gorilla that had been picking his butt ... covered in dirt ... for all eternity. Yelling ...

You forgot Clint.

He use to be one, but he jumped the shark on that.

[gocolts 300]

Sad day when we lose someone like the Great Charlton Heston.

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.

I IMPLORE Rusty to make the headline of this story, "Time to pry the gun out".

[gocolts 300]

Since Heston is such a greta person/actor, I declare......................no I DEMAND, no more jokes at his expense allowed form here on out.

 

Thanks you for your cooperation.

[Chronic Husker 85]

I think Heston was already legally braindead by the time Michael Moore interviewed him and made a fool out of his ass in Bowling for Columbine.

yea, nothing like an interview spliced up, taken out of context, with a guy with altmizers(sp?)

That was some brilliant work by that fatass

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 here

to 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."

After reading that, MM made a fool out of somebody alright......................HIMSELF.
