Joss Whedon's endorsement of Mitt Romney

He should stick to what he's good at.

 

Shooting movies and videos? Witty satire? Light comedy without being over the top?

Everyone, Joss Whedon included, is entitled to their opinion. They also have the right to express that opinion. Just irks me sometimes when those in the acting profession, or others like Joss or Bruce Springsteen, who naturally can access a larger audience, have the hubris to believe that their fame endows their political opinions with some extra gravity.

Sorry I'm confused. People have the right to express their opinion unless their a celebrity?

None of this is really happening. There is a man. With a typewriter. This is all part of his crazy imagination.

I think there's a big difference between someone using their fame as a soapbox in a really serious "i'm going to bludgeon you with my morals", and someone who's doing a more humerous take on presenting their views..

No he's not saying celebrities can't express a political opinion. He is against celebrities using there fame and status to influence people. A decision to vote shouldn't be decided on what your favorite actor thinks but rather who you believe is the correct candidate, and sadly some people will be influenced by what celebrities think so there vote isn't based on objective opinion.

"Have the hubris to believe" how on earth do you know what Bruce Springsteen believes about what he's allowed to do? This is the utmost stupidity. If you had the resources like they do to help things go the way you want you would use them too, end of story. There is no question of 'hubris' and 'belief'. They have an opinion that they want to convince people of, and they have the resources and following to reach people. End of story. How dare you have the hubris to try and convince me of your opinion on this public soapbox that everyone can read? Ridiculous!

I kinda think actors and musicians and the like should stay out if politics. In my opinion it's a somewhat unsavory way to use whatever goodwill and recognition they have accrued. Better spent doing charity work at least. Wheldon is a director, that's not quite the same. You would expect someone like that to be opinionated.

Na na  na na  na na  ...

That is all.

Some people get very hard over that whole republican fembot Ann Coulter look.

 

Honestly, how anyone can think that Coulter is an attractive woman is beyond me.
