However, I remember the way Cher used to gripe and complain about Sonny when he was alive. When he died, he could have done no wrong in her mind. She’s nutty.

I also recall her telling Larry King that Sonny wasn’t really a Republican, he was simply masquerading as one to push his own agenda. I also recall her talking crap about Obama, when she was really rallying hard for clinton.

I just think she’s uninformed and therefore, should keep her mouth shut. Everything she states is hypocritical.

The sorry point of all this is that she was given media coverage to expound her great stupidity.

She is one of those celebrities that truck drivers in Flying J’s should argue over as to who is better, Cher or Crystal Gayle.

Other than that, she’s a feckless nonentity.

Cher screwed up her children’s lives as well as her own. We all are given paths in life, it is up to us to decide which ones we will take. For Cher it was give up everything/destroy everything you love for money. I don’t need her or any of the Hollyweird elite to tell me what to believe or how to live. 90% of them have no idea what goes on in the world outside their door. An education. They need to look in their own backyards before judging others. Trying to tell other’s what to believe or how to live.

This year I’ve met some wonderful caring people from both sides of the table. I’m very conservative in my views and how I want my government to behave/spend. So I guess I am either a conservative Democrat, or a Liberal Republican. Take your pick. Either or I would be proud to be called/labeled. I don’t like fitting in anyone’s crowded box. I prefer to be free to think for myself. Which is why from here on out I now will vote for the candidate; not the party.

No, it’s not a tad inaccurate. Being that I’m involved in that business. Not everyone in Hollywood voted for Obama — trust me on that much. And I still don’t like personal attacks or blanket insults to one certain group. That is unfair and makes no sense.

So you’re in the film business? Then you know that if you tell people you didn’t vote for Obama you career is over, right?

As for Cher? She’s an idiot. How dare she say what she said? Especially when she is less educated than us, and has no idea who Obama is. Celebrity also carries responsibility. She owes the bazillions of dollars she has made to this country and to be honest. Anyone supporting Obama is a traitor. Period.

Nice post. A tad inaccurate. If you tell anyone in the film business that you didn’t vote for the Fraud basically people want you banned from the biz. That’s the sad truth. She’s an idiot for what she said about Republicans. If the Republicans didn’t stick their noses in the Bacon Bill your life would be way worse than it’s about to get.

do not group all artists in this category —

some of us are very well informed and not Obama supporters.

I know Cher was a big Hillary supporter.

She simply did what most Dems or Repubs do whenever the nominee gets picked — they support the eventual nominee, no matter who that is. Even though she did not want Obama during the primary either.

We are all very connected to all the gory details but most out there are not and the media certainly did their best to bury the details of Pres. Obama’s campaign and past behavior and flip flops. Most people do not get on the internet digging for a story. Whether that makes me miserable or not is not the point — it’s just the way it is.

I did not appreciate her comments about Republicans either and I think that is out of line — but I would never personally attack her and I think personal attacks take away from the argument.

I also do not appreciate grouping everyone in Hollywood under the same banner either. Not everyone there is an Obamabot. Please believe me when I say this. You might be surprised as to how many people in the arts feel about him.

As a general comment, I’d like people to remember how painful it was to us in the primary when people were labeling all Hillary supporters as Archie Bunker racists, shoulder pad feminists, clueless, deadenders, etc.

While Cher should not have said what she said, I really feel a lot of these kinds of comments are a Dem. backlash reaction to Bush Derangement Syndrome. He and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Gonzalez so sullied the Republican brand with their actions that the sky’s the limit with the insults.

This is not an effective way to have a debate no matter how angry we are.

Believe me, it is heartbreaking to me that Bush and particularly Cheney will never see justice. Bill Clinton was impeached over a blow job, after what a great admin. we had otherwise, and years of peace and prosperity, yet Bush and Cheney get off scott free without so much as a slap on the wrist for Iraq lies and deaths, Katrina, Abu Graib, Abramoff, FISA and more…

Nonetheless, I too hope we can keep it to the issues and not someone’s botox issues.

Ps. obama has a spirit? Yeah ok, whatever.

“Hillary Rodham Clinton, you’ve got a friend in Dirty Harry.

Though a longtime follower of John McCain — dating back to the Arizona senator’s 2000 run against George W. Bush in the GOP primary — Clint Eastwood thinks Clinton deserves some serious respect. And enough already with the calls for her to quit.

“Everybody’s trying to talk her into folding, but it doesn’t seem like the spirit of Americana,” Eastwood told Politico before heading to France’s Cannes Film Festival, where his period kidnapping drama “Changeling,” starring Angelina Jolie, had its world premiere Tuesday.

“Put yourself in the place of [Clinton]: You’ve gone out there and made a thousand speeches, and you’ve shaken a million hands and you’ve been out there working your ass off,” Eastwood said. “And then somebody comes up and says, ‘Why don’t you just drop out of it?’”

The actor/director/producer/jazz aficionado — who had his own brush with politics as mayor of Carmel, Calif. — said Clinton’s fortunes could change: Barack Obama could trip over himself again, as he did with the controversies over his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Obama’s remarks about working-class voters clinging to their religion and guns.

“I watch Clinton and feel kind of sorry for her and wonder, ‘What are all these people telling her to run away for?’” Eastwood said. “She’s showing her strength by hanging in there.” “
