Matt Damon is Scared of Palin

Author: Dallas VonKillbot

11 Sep

Matt Damon was interviewed for some reason regarding the upcoming presidential elections. In the clip, we see Damon struggling with coming to grips that there’s a good chance if elected, Palin will have the opportunity to take of this country (you know, due to McCain being like OVER 9000 years old).

Although the dude is just an actor, he makes some valid points on the topic. The facts are that the woman has made serious attempts to ban books (see the full list after the jump) like The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Death of a Salesman. She is an active member of a community that believes in ‘praying away the gay‘. She’s in an active investigation from the state of Alaska for her misguided ethics. Her religious bias, along with John McCain, is going to be actively pursuing taking away abortion, o.t.c. birth control, women’s services, etc.
But fuck it, what do I know. I’m just some dickhead on the internet with an opinion who happens to write on this AWARD WINNING blog site.

Click more for the books Palin was trying to have ~~burned~~ removed from libraries and schools… oh, Harry Potter fans? You’ll be in for a treat.

This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.

Did you actually read the post by Michell Malkin you linked to that “proves” Gov. Palin wanted to ban books? Malkin explains that the supposed Palin book ban list was from a a blog comment that has no merit.

Once again another dumbass Dem doesn’t bother to check a single fact. Where do you guys come from anyway? Maybe you should lay off the idiot water (bottled no doubt).

Matt Damon is very cool with lots of fans. I like the way he presents himself in interviews. He will thank the stunt men that help make the action movies he is in a success.

Matt Damon and Moby both support Obama/Biden. Notice that the artists were one of the first to support Obama. Artist voices count too. This is a Democracy. Now Schmidt and Rove what to take out our artist this election year.

Here a cool video of Matt Damon and Moby …

‘Bourne Identity’ track by Moby

Its a great move with a great sound track. Obama has over 70 real life retired Generals supporting him, which gives the artists the freedom to create art like this.

I’ll post the credible source for the full list either late today or Monday, but I did a quick Google search now, found this article from Time that mentions the ban. Again, when I have the time, I’ll post the credited source for the list… lil busy right now. Gotta face it though, the woman believes in censorship, and from the list, her religion plays a large part in the decisions that will effect the rest of us.

Matt damon on politics, is like ketchup on ice cream, they just don’t mix! Damon! A wise man named Pres. Lincoln once said ” It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt”. Please take heed of these words little one! We know deep thought hurts your head, so spend what brain power you have, and read your script. Leave the thinking to others better qualified than you. Thank you, A concerned citizen.

Just because Matt Damon doesn’t know anything about Sarah Palin doesn’t make her unqualified to be vice president. It not her fault that he’s clueless. First of all, she has way more executive experience that Obama (who happens to have none), plus she won’t be the first “unknown” governor to make it to the White House. Who had ever heard of Jimmy Carter before he became Pres? Concerning his dumbass remark about the dinosaurs. Sarah Palin never did say that she believed dinosaurs roamed the earth 4000 years ago. We all know that this comment came from some stupid blogger and not from Sarah Palin herself. Pull your head out Matt. I used to have a lot of respect for you, but that’s gone now. It’s obvious that you’ve spent too much time around Clooney.
