So, After The Left Has Politicized Everything, They Have The Sack To Whine About Those Seeing Political Overtones In Eastwood’s Superbowl Ad

Colmes, emphasis mine:

Leonard Hirshan explains:
“That’s the problem; everything is political now,” says Hirshan, who tells us that he didn’t see the “Halftime” spot until it aired last night, and insisted that Eastwood agreed to make the spot without even consulting his representative of 50 years because it was “something personal he got involved in” that was neither political nor commercial.

Boo frickin’ hoo, dude. Yeah, it was sunnier back ten years ago when I didn’t fret the next legislative rape coming down the pike from DC.

The problem may abate when we break the imperial federal government. Join the fight. More at NewsBusters and the Conservatory. I actually didn’t mind the ad as a pick-me-up speech, but my Pavlovian response to all things Government Motors is overwhelmingly negative. I don’t want to hear a single word about the American spirit if we’re not letting overly unionized organizations eat the fruit of their ‘labors’.

    If the government sold its GM stock today, taxpayers would lose another $13 billion. 

    I will never buy another GM or Chrysler vehicle, because of the Obama/union thievery, and expect I am not alone.

    You are not. I made that vow as well. As far as the Eastwood ad goes, it was hypocrisy on multiple levels:

    1) The former-Detroit company that now makes over 50% of its cars OUTSIDE the US claiming Detroit’s mythical rebound as its own.

    2) The idea that every American should follow Detroit’s example. Yeah right, should we all kowtow at Congress’ feet and wait for their bailout money to reach that? Oh wait. Right.

    3) The falsehood that Michigan’s economy is making serious gains, given that official unemployment numbers are now as useless a statistic for measuring the job market as the official CPI is for measuring real inflation.

    Here’s another vow I can make after that ad. I’ll never watch a movie Clint stars in or directs again.
