Hollywood Courage: Tom Hanks Fawns Over Obama, Slams Fox News on…MSNBC


Watch the video (full segment is here). Some of it’s just strange. Hanks hand-wrings over parents not being able to get their kids to the hospital if GM is no longer in business. At least that’s what I think he says, because when you live in a bubble where no one ever says ‘Huh?,” much less challenges you, those are the kinds of things you start to say and believe. Scary.

And when Hanks speaks of a propaganda network doing the President’s bidding, does he not see the irony of his being on MSNBC? The day before he was on Good Morning America. Really, Tom, no irony at all as you do the Obama Propaganda Network Tour?

The Oscar-winner then says that citizens should be stewards to the political process, which can only mean that the same man who produced the spectacular HBO mini-series “John Adams” doesn’t appear to have watched it.

Friday night Bill O’Reilly called Hanks out for being a cowardly political bomb-thrower who fires away at Fox News and the right in general but refuses to go into a situation where he’ll face any kind of challenge, like “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Come on, Tom, you started this scrap. Come out from behind your legion of publicists. Are you really gonna hide behind MSNBC’s skirts all your life or do you have enough confidence in your arguments to face something a little tougher than the starstruck soft-balling on “Morning Joe?”
