And dont sleep on these two, either.
Essentially, Hanks called anyone who supported Prop. 8 "un-American." But he focused on Mormons because he doesn't have the spine to go after other groups who voted for Prop. 8 in overwhelming percentages. ...like blacks, for instance.

Tom Hanks missed the boat on this one. Hollyweird has warped his thinking. People can support things Tom don’t approve of and not be “un-American”. O’bummer said today repubs need to quit listening to R. Limbaugh and and quit thinking “partisan”. I assume partisan means anything his party doesn’t agree with. Essentially Dims think their side is right and the other side is “un-American”. There is something wrong with trying to control what other people think, vote for or listen to on the radio.
Batchelor Party was good.....haven’t seen anything he’s done since then...
“WILSON!!, WILSON!!, DON’T LEAVE ME WILSON.”
takes on a whole new meaning doesn’t it?
You can say a lot of things about the Mormons and Mormonism, but as I heard from an ex-Mormon, as they know themselves and I tend to agree, that when it comes time to sort out the mess that the Obama supporters have created (now that’s a weird cult, Obama worship!), I think the Mormons will be some of the key ones still around to sort out the mess. Look at them—unlike many Protestants, Catholics and Jews, they actually maintain, in large numbers, in-tact families. And say what you like about their founders, their doctrines, they are no weirder than most of the other Monotheistic religions. And, I’ll say again, they have weathered the storm of the Hippie Cultural Revolution much better than the rest.
And since a large number of prop 8 voters were blacks Tom Hanks must view them as un-American as well...so from a liberal's perspective, Tom Hanks is a racist.
Yeah, the Mormoms better not spend their money how they wish but good ol Tommy can make all the money he wants off of mocking out Mormons. Gotta love it. Medved did say that Hanks has formally apologized for his statements, so at least he did do that.
Gee, just like you and left give a lot of money to make your prop’s happen.
I’m not supporting Tom Hanks in any way, but I am assuming that what he meant was that the ideas and ideals behind Prop 8 are what are un-American — not that giving money to a cause or political fund (even a conservative one) is un-American.
“He also donated to a liberal campaign fund called Midwest Values PAC.”
Having been born and raised in the midwest, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say this PAC doesn’t share my values or the values of anyone I know.
As for Hanks himself... I am grateful for his work on Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan, and for his other efforts to recognize The Greatest Generation. I’ve also enjoyed some of his older movies. Beyond that, he can take a flying leap.
Those of you who might happen to be conservative, look closely at this liberal fool! Look hard. Look at him and the ilk who he associates with. When you plunk down that next admission fee for a bit of leg tingling, keep in mind that YOU are giving this clown a platform. You are making him rich and making him feel that what he thinks is important. Quite honestly, I don’t give a damn what this freak thinks or any of his pals think. And I wouldn’t give him a penny for either his performance or thoughts.....
In "Bosom Buddies", he dresses as a woman.
Join the growing chorus of folks whom Tom Hanks is insulting - including my own faith, Catholicism. He and Ron Howard are bashing Catholics all the time with their stupid movies, like The DaVinci Code.
It’s really a shame because I always had a fondness for Tom in the movies. But, no more!
He’ll always be Forrest Gump to me. Every movie I see him in, I think, “Hey, Forrest Gump is in the Army”, or “Now he’s on a desert island”.
I haven’t see “Big Love” cause we don’t bother with HBO, but I aways thought it was a way to start folks accepting polygamy, the same way sit-coms and dramas on network TV started softening folks up on the idea of homosexuality, and creating the idea that it should be protected by civil rights.
