Leave it to Fox to keep kicking the dog. It’s a Pro America ad that happens to benefit the man who’s trying to fix the damn country.

Following the fall out over the controversial Chrysler Super Bowl halftime ad, Clint Eastwood spoke exclusively with O’Reilly Factor producer Ron Mitchell…

“I just want to say that the spin stops with you guys, and there is no spin in that ad. On this I am certain.

l am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama. It was meant to be a message about just about job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it. I thought the spirit was OK.

I am not supporting any politician at this time.

Chrysler to their credit didn’t even have cars in the ad.

Anything they gave me for it went for charity.

If any Obama or any other politician wants to run with the spirit of that ad, go for it.”

     How desperate can the Repugs be that they take a pro American and try to turn it anti-American?  I hope the boats and planes are all fueled up to take the Rethugs to the land they deserve.  I think it’s called Hell.  DG

    Thank U Pres Obama for help Saving the Auto industry and should get the credit.
     The Republican Party; like their stuck in the mud rhetoric and their failed policies through the years, are the ones who said “Let the Auto industry go bankrupted” and bet against the worker. Pres Obama stuck with the American worker and together became a powerful force.
    So Republican Party of Pharisees can go to hell.

    Eastwood, or anyone else for that matter, certainly could not have made an ad like that during half-time of the 2009 Super Bowl—-W had driven the country into the ground and went home to Texas leaving President Obama and the country with a terrible mess; I guess that would have been the First Quarter.

    I don’t know Clint, it sure seemed like a progessive statement to me!

    I did not hear what most liberals seem to have heard. I heard Eastwood giving “everyone” credit for what only we liberals did!!!!!!!!!

    Eastwood has been a good actor, and a so-so director/producer. I’ve enjoyed a great deal of his work.

    The same is even more true of Robert Duvall who I personally consider a much better actor, but an avowed Conservative/Libertarian.

    It’s OK to appreciate someone’s work and still disagree with their political views.
