Film director Oliver Stone—who has made no secret of his liberal political views—called President Barack Obama a “snake” for his role in National Security Agency spying programs that have become, he said, more about silencing protestors than finding terrorists.
“Obama is a snake,” Stone told an audience in Tokyo on Monday. “He’s a snake. And we have to turn on him.”
“The Boston Marathon, they were so busy tracking down potential protestors…that they missed the bombers,” Stone told the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan. “It’s never about terrorists, it always becomes about the way J. Edgar Hoover did it; he brought all the weight of government to bear against protestors. He didn’t like protestors. He thought they were left-wing communists. He never could find the proof, but by the time the Vietnam War came around, as you know, 500,000 people were on the list, and they were being eavesdropped on. And where are we now? Same place.”
Stone said that admitted NSA leaker Edward Snowden “is a hero to me. He sacrificed his well-being for the good of us all” and that Russia’s Vladimir Putin did the right thing by granting Snowden asylum, according to PressTV.
“I’m proud of him for doing it,” Stone said of Putin and Russia. “We need more countries to stand up to the U.S.”
Stone also called Snowden a hero last month and said it’s “a disgrace that Obama is more concerned with hunting him down Snowden than reforming these George Bush-style eavesdropping techniques.”
Last summer in the lead up to the 2012 Republican National Convention, Stone said he’d vote for Ron Paul over Obama if Paul secured the GOP nomination. Stone suggested that Paul was the “only one” who’s “saying anything intelligent about the future of the world.”
Relations between Russia and the U.S. have been frosty since the Snowden asylum decision, with Obama abruptly canceling a meeting with Putin, which was taken as a snub.
The irony of having spoken his mind seems lost on him as he inevitably will come to know the full extent of Zero's sociopathic wrath at the time and place of his choosing.
Meh—too little, too late. Zero has not finished destroying this country and has at least another 3.5 years to do it with no one in Congress even pretending to stop him. What does stone propose?
Stone turns on Bozo and NYT turns on Clintons.
What up with that ??
How long will this conversion of his last? Until the next time he parties with Obama?
I think the leftists are starting to realize they are in the same goldfish bowl as the rest of us...
What a laugh.
The Bolshevik idiots couldn’t believe it either the day they were stood up in front of firing squads by Stalin’s murderers.
Dunno, but keep it comin’!
Left meets Right more often now. It’s a reality recognition thing. Misguided lefties are not all stupid.
Ours seem to be smartening up a bit early.
Perhaps it will be early enough?
They didn’t get what they were promised. Zer0’s made enemies with all sorts including the unions. The Clintons are known to stab anyone in the back as long as it benefits them. People are wising up.
Oliver Stone is obviously a racist.
Better get Spike Lee to reveal his home phone number.
Get Al Sharpton to march on his street.
Get the Film Directors Guild and SAG to ban him for life.
Two very obvious things to anyone that is really tuned in. One, Obama is a failed POTUS on all counts, a lightweight, an empty suit!!! An unengaged POTUS siding with our enemy the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
Two, a sea change is occurring in USA politics. Both the Republican and Democrat parties are weakening, the mantel is being handed over or taken over by the new breed of lovers of freedom, liberty, opportunity, limited government, etc. Count both conservatives and liberals in that ever growing group of the friends of the individual!!! “Democrat Liberals” & RINOs (Republicans in name only) are toast and political failures, starting with Obama and his ilk of socialist planners!!! For goddness sake just read the poll numbers!!!
The TV news viewing audience, except for Fox News Channel, is on life support!!! The mainstream media is lost at sea wallowing in failure in Obama Dreamland!!! Mark Levin, is the top book seller of all books sold in the USA!!! I could go on and on!!! Fact is: Those business folks with brains, need to change their tune, because the public has already decided this big government gig ain’t working at all!!! It is as simple as that!!!
It’s a little late for that.
When I see a snake on the road I run over it. If I can get lined up tail to head it is even better. Sometimes you can hear them pop.
