Clint Eastwood the Last Real Man
June 06, 2008. Clint Eastwood is steaming mad. MediaTakeOut.com told you a few weeks ago that director Spike Lee criticized Clint for not using African American actors in his movie Flags Of Our Fathers. Well now Clint is going hard at Spike. Here’s what he said in a recent interview:
On Spike Lee:
[Spike] was complaining when I did Bird [the 1988 biopic of Charlie Parker]. Why would a white guy be doing that? I was the only guy who made it, that’s why. He could have gone ahead and made it. Instead he was making something else.” As for Flags of Our Fathers, he says, yes, there was a small detachment of black troops on Iwo Jima as a part of a munitions company, “but they didn’t raise the flag. The story is Flags of Our Fathers, the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn’t do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people’d go, ‘This guy’s lost his mind.’ I mean, it’s not accurate.”
On why he doesn’t have to include Black actors in his new film Changeling – set in Los Angeles during the Depression
“What are you going to do, you gonna tell a f*ckin’ story about that?” he growls. “Make it look like a commercial for an equal opportunity player? I’m not in that game. I’m playing it the way I read it historically, and that’s the way it is. When I do a picture and it’s 90% black, like Bird, I use 90% black people.”
On what he thinks Spike should do:
“A guy like him should shut his face.”

Socialized Medicine
This is the kind of shit all you socialist medical care hopefuls can look forward too if you, Obammy and Shrillary have your way. It amazes me that the same people who have been screaming about losing their “rights” under Bush would lock step support the complete erosion of personal liberty and freedom via complete government intrusion into your personal life that comes with Socialized Medicine. Pay attention to Canada and the UK, Mikey fatass liar Moore isn’t going to tell you that anything is wrong, you have to find it yourself.
