He just said on Bill O'reilly that he is a moderate liberal, but respects the bill or rights and is not anti gun and supports the rights of the 2A. Is he a "pro-2a" person like kerry or a real pro gunner like us?

EDIT: He mentioned it again that he disagrees with Democrats and kerry on 2A and guns.

Count: 2 times
 
Apparently Bill O'Reilly has been smoking some good stuff.

"Kerry is a big gun guy" :rolleyes: :banghead:
 
wow

i thought I could type fast! I think you posted 5 seconds before me on this. Course it could be this dial up connection I have, 2 cans and a ball of string would be faster somedays.

On point, I remember reading in the New York Post last year that he was seen applying for a CCW i either New York or Miami I think. This was when he was getting married to, whats her name? My MTV generation brain cant remember that far back anymore.....
 
He seemed to represent himself quite respectfully and honest to me on this segment. I believe he even said he wasnt sure about the Zarkawi thing. Didnt come off to be the pompous ass I thought he was going to be.
 
If he says he disagrees with KErry on guns then maybe he's on our side.

If he were a "2nd amendment is about duck hunting" type then he would have taken Kerry's position.
 
This thread is hilarious.


I just watched the same interview & Affleck did well for himself.

Affleck said that he (Affleck) is pro-2nd amendment (specifically).

Affleck said that he is basically non-partisan.

He spoke well of Bush as a person, but said he disagreed with his policies. That is a dramatic difference from most Hollywood types.

I've never been a fan of Affleck, but I have to say I think better of him off-screen after watching that interview.
 
He did a good job, Sounded semi smart. I don't think he's a real pro gun guy but not totally anti either. Struck me as the kind of guy whos dad owned a deer rifle and probably said "the goverment shouldn't take our guns" So he trusted his dad on the issue. Seemed to be a good guy. I'd drink a beer with him.
 
Affleck isn't an idiot. Either is his buddy Matt Damon. He is from Boston, so why not go see the spectacle? Either he votes in Mass or in Kali, so it hardly matters if he supports Bush or Kerry if he is being even-handed in his interviews.

IIRC it was in Georgia. Might have been near Atlanta (Marietta??). Press speculated he was going there for a marriage license, but it was apparently for a CCW instead. Supposedly his intended bride was with him at the time.
 
Both Affleck and Damon are quite a bit more intelligent than your average Hollywood type. They wrote the screenplay for "Goodwill Hunting," not something a couple of dumb @$$es could have done. I'm not surprised that Affleck makes his own decisions on things like guns and the 2nd Amendment rather than walk in lock-step with the radicals of the Democratic party.
 
Affleck owns a house on one of the high $$ islands off coastal Ga (St. Simon's??) , and it's there that he was s'posed to be getting or renewing his "Georgia Firearms License", which is what we call our CCW permit. You have to be a Ga resident to get one, so perhaps he calls Ga home?
 
As much as I appreciate Affleck's comments as relayed here, they amount to nothing as long as he is stumping for the Dems. As Laura Ingraham says, "shut up and act."
 
Me too, as long as he's buying. He owes me for Pearl Habor

Bwahahah! Ya got THAT right! Along with every other role where he has attempted to portray a serious character.

I like his acting. Paycheck was a good flick and he did a great job in Shakespear in Love.

He is also willing to make fun of himself, the Kevin Smith J&SB movies are proof of this.

So he may be a liberal, but he is not a an anti-gunner. I'm cool wit dat.

Also, actors have every right to speak out as the rest of us do. They get more opportunities because of their celebrity. This is not immoral or unethical.
 
Affleck was raised by radical communist hippies ... the fact that he's not out there screaming for Kerry and his socialist police state says he's come a long way.


I had always assumed Affleck was a lefty and an anti ... maybe he's not.
 
Contrary to popular belief I think it is a good thing to have pro-gun liberals as long as they are serious about the 2A. If gun control could be intellectually "bred out" of both of the major parties, and left to the Greens and Communists, where it belongs, Sarah and her ilk would be way fringe.
 
Guns make a good hot button issue for radical Democrats. The Republicans have more than their share of hot-button issues, too.
 
too bad he doesnt have the brains or balls to see he is shooting himself in the foot by being or pretending to be pro-gun and go with the Democrat party.

should be hanging out with Zel Miller if he is going Dem.
 
Affleck conducted himself quite well, and goes to show that maybe not every Democrat is out to get us. Moderates like him could make the other party bearable. Too bad that Ted Kennedy and DiFi are still around, they are too much. He is pretty pro-second amendments, and he was very cordial and polite, and did not get up there and disrespect the office of the Presidency.

The difference between him and Rondstat is that he has an IQ above 48.
 
I would have to give him the benifit of the doubt and say that he means what he says. having an affinity for gun rights or ownership doesn't sit well with Hollyweird so I doubt he would intentionally hurt his standing with them just to make flippant remarks.
