should Hollywood denounce Clint Eastwood for his recent comments? (films, actor, US)

[dashrendar4454]

some say Hollywood should stop funding his films and actors should refuse to work with him

[my54ford]

In other words some people are suggesting that we punish others for saying what they have every right to say? Would you suggest that we suspend the 1st amendment?

Why would they do that? Many people agree with him. The younger people are making this a nation of wusses. Too worried about offending someone.

I haven't yet read his actual comments, although I'm looking forward to it.

But are you suggesting that liberals should abandon the concept of freedom of speech?

[mishigas73]

Ah yes, because Hollywood is well-known for its intelligent and insightful contributions to the political process. LMAO

Clint Eastwood and other big wheels that have come out as republican or conservative are Hollywood.

Beside, who would be the "Hollywood" people that would denounce Clint Eastwood and jeopardize there careers.

Clue us in. What did he say that was illegal?

No one gives a hoot about that old coot.

I didn't know that he'd said anything of note. A link is always helpful.

Whether you agree with Mr. Eastwood's remarks or not, you must realize that this is not a freedom of speech issue. The First Amendment applies only to governmental actions regarding speech, not private industry. Indeed, some of you may awake in the morning to find your comments deleted for not following the rules of this subforum. And we all may awaken to find the thread has been closed for the same reason.
