OH NO. Come November, are there going to be some political fireworks on The Voice? Coaches and Best Friends FOREVER, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton tweeted completely different reactions to Clint Eastwood’s odd speech at the Republican National Convention last night.

Clint had an empty chair on stage with him in order to direct questions to an imaginary President Obama.  OoooK.

Rocker, and Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine thought it was cray cray, “Clint Eastwood has gone f–kin nutterbutters yo.”

But country singer Blake Shelton declared, “I. Love. Clint Eastwood.”  Blake’s a little cray cray himself, so I get it!

Are you Team Adam or Team Blake?  If you didn’t watch Clint’s speech last night, judge for yourself.

Thanks Kirsten

    Biography should be a private matter, but in politics seems everything is stage to be forthright as public wants to know who the candidate is. Mrs. Romney did just that in response. I won’t blame her for doing so.

    The Democrats have only one play.  They can’t run on their record or what they actually believe, so they call their opponents either racist, sexist, crazy, or stupid, or all of the above.  The name calling is only effective because the liberal media is in their pocket and parrots what they want them to say.  Truths are overlooked, such as the actual ridiculous, embarrassing gaffes made on many occasions by Joe Biden and the seriously bad situation our country is in economically.

    I’ll take Clint Eastwood and Blake Shelton over Adam Levine any day…

    Clint showed his age a little which was a bit suspenseful as he went through his unconventional talk. But still he is awesome. Lol. 

    I thought he did a good job, saying what he wanted to say, putting in a couple of pointed thoughts from time to time, but not being overly harsh or nasty.

    Nobody makes some of the idiot republicans say what they say about women, gays and minorities. Liberal media didn’t make Akin state a ridiculous notion as fact. Liberal media didn’t make those alternate delegates throw peanuts at an African-American woman. Liberal media didn’t make the Senator compare pregnancy by rape and pregnancy out of wedlock as being similar things. When Fox News even castigates the vice-president nominee for untruths in his convention speech, you know there’s an issue. Believe me, the liberal media hasn’t had to do much, the republicans are making it easy for them.

    There has never been a place or a time when you could get the news without a point of view. 

    Good point, Sassycatz. I suppose it’s the degree of bias intended, or the overload of partisan politics that eventually renders the ‘news’ ineffective, especially whenever news falls under the Entertainment umbrella in the media organizations. 

    One thing that helps to decipher the Spin, IMO – is a media ownership database – knowing just ‘whose’ bias you are dealing with…like this one – “Who Owns The Media?” 2012 from the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. 

    Worth the time it takes to check it out, IMO. YMMV.

    I have to admit, some republicans have really stepped in it lately.  I wonder how they got as far as they have.  You will always have outliers in any group.  It was interesting to see that non-republican protesters were at the convention – tickets in must not be that difficult to attain.

    However, opinion pieces submitted & posted on Fox are not necessarily the opinion of Fox News.

    nvm

    Those in the media who throw around allegations of political “lies” have a lot to do with what point of view the supposed “lies” are coming from. Plus it’s yet another way of the media drumming up controversy for ratings & attention in our ever-more heated political climate. And the media is always in for “gotcha” journalistic opportunities, justified or not.

    I may not agree with someone politically, but I can recognize that not everything said that I disagree with is a big ol’ fat intentional malicious “lie.” 

    There are such things as exaggerations, partial truths, & simple disagreements of fact…  And calling entire groups of people (many many millions of people) idiots for their beliefs that I don’t share, never really floats my boat.

    Yet again, it appears when a political subject is discussed the opinions usually fall within party lines. I’m expecting that this coming week, I will see a reversed scenario.

    Don’t put words in posters mouths or assume their motives. That’s like, rule #1 around here.

  • wordnerdarchie

    I got a good idea, let’s pair up the candidates inside a boxing ring & let them beat each other up.  The man left standing wins & is elected.  It makes about as much sense as this year’s election cycle. lol.

    Well I think the problem is that the left wing media has taken instances like these and tries to associate the entire Republican party with them as much as possible which is incredibly unfair. Much of the Republican party have outright condemned Akin for his comments and want him to resign and those two alternate delegates were thrown out of the convention immediately.

    That’s not to say right wing media doesn’t do things like this as well, but overall it’s basically become a game of name calling as opposed to actually covering news and that is really sad.

    Team Blake. I am more of a Country music fan so I am team Blake.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_N7LBEC6JNLHZLT6RSZEHLLDUOM Amy

    I am not a fan of either Adam or Blake, but Clint Eastwood was a mess last night and Romney should never had let a speaker go up there and disrespect the office of the presidency that way. Completely offensive and inappropriate.

    Clint can do a cray cray kinda funny speech and he’s still cool as Clint Eastwood can be . No liberal rage will take it from him. But, obviously, this speech didn’t do anything for the republicans get more votres,

    OTOH, Marco Rubio’s speech did. He is one of the most impressive orators I’ve seen. Before he was elected senator in 2008 I predicted he would be the first latino president of USA in 2016 and I stick with my prediction.

    I think you would have to be a little crazy not to recognize the bizarreness of Clint’s “speech” last night.  At least it gets people talking, I guess.  I think given the extraordinary partisan political manuvering of both parties, and the Wall Street meltdown, it’s hard for either side to accomplish much these last 4 years.  Obama has succeeded in some things and failed in others; not sure what the Republicans accomplished during the same period or during the Bush years.  But actions aside, at least the party platforms will outline the choices for me:  pro-choice v. no-choice (rape and incest victims included); full rights for all v. full rights for some;  99%ers v. 1%ers; scientific education v. religious faith.   Seems like an easy choice for me. 

  • Chris

    Yes, crazy or exciting speeches draw a lot of conversation.  I prefer to just look at the platforms vs. what Blake, Adam, Clint, etc.. shout and decide what’s most important to me.  Unfortunately, the real battle lines in the last 20 years has been:  pro-choice vs. not.  Pick your side and vote.

    There’s more to Romney than a law degree which in his case, but not Obama’s, was paired with MBA. Eastwood’s underlying point was lawyers talk-talk-talk while businessmen have to act. 

    I can’t wait to see the free speech police punishing Eastwood, complaining to Warner Bros or skipping his next film as if it’ll effect his lifestyle or Oscars.

    Just so I understand where you are coming from…..I noted an obvious  correlation, especially between the celebrities who you have quoted whose politic leanings are certainly not secret and their negative/positive opinion of Clints’ skit. 

    I am extremely surprised that this statement is considered so offensive. I did not call out any specific poster, certainly didn’t put words in anyone’s mouth, nor question anyone particular person’s motive. A correlation was noted and that was all.

    This may be a little off topic, by the Daily Show with Jon Stewart aired a special Friday episode to comment on Clint’s RNC moment:
