"This continues the slow and painful-to-watch disintegration of ACORN."

I diagree, this hasn't been painful at all.

Very true, that's why I remind birthers that even if they were right in some weird alternate reality, that would mean we'd have President Biden. That's way scarier.

'David Weigel at the Washington Independent interviewed Marcus Epstein, organizer of the “Race and Conservatism” event that has been labeled as a “Racist Forum.”'

Does Blumenthal & Co even know what a debate is?

I have to respectfully disagree. I can understand why some are put-off by the guy and some of his choices for roles. But for me, I look at the wide variety of characters and genres of movies he's done. Which many actors can't really do. You watch a movie like the Prestige and think Jackman outshines Bale, whereas I see a guy that plays a character with an understated quality.

But I also will admit my biases where Bale is concerned and will label myself a Bale-apologist.

I completely understand, I think it was '93 I saw him in Newsies. I've loved a man that can sing and dance!

Point taken, but then again Bale is method and no one messes with those freaks. Besides, Mr. Jena admits that #4 was reportedly a 'nasty guy' and yet he's on the list.

I'd have to put Christian Bale on the list. He's done artsy fartsy stuff when he was younger, but his action flicks are pretty good too, imo.

I apologize, it seems I erringly ommitted a very important word. The first sentence should have said. "It's not about WHAT Harry said..."

IMO, it's not WHAT Harry said, but the fact that it was an issue to begin with.

A friend of mine on FB summed it up quite well, "When you're not racist, its not an issue. Its the racists that make it an issue"

Being married to a 'former' marine, I can assure you there is no such thing as a 'former' marine.
