I've been to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. If you have even a passing interest about NASCAR, GO SEE IT! You won't be disappointed.
I wonder how long these DUmmie "performers" will be able to tolerate their surroundings at the H of F?
To me, it would be similar to throwing holy water on and showing the cross to Dracula. :lmao:
Besides, loser DUmmies, we HAVE Clint Eastwood, AND Chuck Norris! :II:
You can't touch that! :-)

Since the libs hate America and everything that it stands for I wonder how tough it is for them to hear or perform the national anthem.
Frankly, considering their opinion of the flag and the men and women who have fought to protect the flag I find it both hypocritical and unethical for them to perform the Star-Spangled Banner at a dem convention.

I heard on the David Webb radio show that Wolf Blitzed wouldn't/didn't stand for both the "Pledge of Allegiance" AND the "National Anthem" at the RNC, until several of the delegates jumped his ass for not standing.
:II: guys!

One Clint Eastwood = about 100 no-names.
As you know, I don't do movies and television, but at least I know the big names, from the news and history books.
I don't recognize a single one of those names.
"Jeff Bridges" is one name I've heard of before, but in connection with what, I have no idea.
Everybody's heard of Clint Eastwood, on the other hand.

They're celebrating a bunch of 1%ers?

A bunch of rich 1%ers who don't represent the diversity of the American people, nor the average lives Americans lead. Where are the unemployed ? the students ? Occupy ? Where are the single parents, living paycheck to paycheck ? The immigrants, both documented and undocumented ?
This lineup is entirely wrong according to Democratic dogma - and if all of these people were booked at events surrounding the RNC, the first people who would have let us know about it would have been our friends at DU.

James Taylor is probably the most famous name listed in that DU promo. He's had many hit songs over the past five decades. "Sweet Baby James"
Otherwise....
The entire convention may as well be broadcast on a Who's He? & White TV.

Look at Roseanne Barr.

I'm disappointed to see that algore isn't going to be opening each evening's events by leading the crowd in the macarena
-
With the exception of one or two people, that article didn't actually say they would be at the DNC convention.
Sounds more like they're taking advantage of free publicity and traffic to make some money.
...will both perform at CarolinaFest in uptown ...will build half a house at the festival ...will perform at separate parties, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the Elder Gallery, respectively ...will host a political summit for students at Johnson C.

For your general information, Johnson C. Smith University is an all black university. There are other colleges in and around Charlotte but I guess they didn't want the hassel.....or there was some money to be made.
-

What good is half a house?
-
What good is half a house?
All part of the downsizing of America. We will now have half houses.
-
I'm more interested in the TV schedule that who's who. The major networks (ABC,NBC and CBS) broadcasted 30 minutes during prime time and then an hour recap in the late evening/early morning hours.
-
Well that's it, I'm voting for Obama. :whatever:

Anyone with an entire house will now be deemed "rich" and their taxes adjusted accordingly.

Here you go Frank.
Jeff Bridges is one of the sons of actor Lloyd Bridges who is famous for his role in the TV series "Sea Hunt" and Movies like "Airplane" and "Hot Shots" and "Hot Shots: part duex. Jeff bridges has had roles in movies like Tron and "the Big Labowski ' And the recent remake of "True Grit".

I remember reading something years ago that in Moscow, the size of your living quarters was based on the size of you family. A married couple with no children couldn't live in a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment.
Frank might know more about this.

Hate to burst the DUmmies bubble, but Jeff Bridges was also at the RNC last week. He is the face of his favorite cause "childhood hunger". He was and is not playing to one party or the other. He is bringing attention to a cause that is important to him. Sucks to be a Dummie that can't include all the facts, but then again facts are to DUmmies as light is to vampires.

This is the anthem they should sing . . . It's even in English!

I like Jeff Bridges. I should have known that he was a liberal. He seems like a very nice guy though (From the interviews I seen him in).
As for playing at the NASCAR Hall of Fame? NASCAR is republican. So them to be allowing the Dems to use the facility is strange. Especially since every one knows that Libs hate NASCAR.

Mike Helton and the rest of the gang are not stupid.

Also the brother of Beau Bridges, Jeff also starred in one of my favorite movies "Against All Odds: with Rachel Ward and James Woods

I wish they would have sceduled the dnc for the second week of October.
That would have been fun. :-)

Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe did some picking for them.

I watched an interview with Jeff Bridges for the second Tron movie. There's a reason why he has almost no lines in the film... he sounds about as smart as one of the bowling pins from 'The Big Lebowski'.
It was painful to listen to.
-
Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux ate classics. I think it's on thr bag of the box for Part Deux, they brag "not one line of original script. The whole thing is a parody of other action movies.

So, IOW, bowling pins are smarter than most of the DUmp.

Actor Kal Penn (“House,†the “Harold & Kumar†movies) will be on a panel at Discovery Place moderated by Chelsea Clinton.
I am surprised he is anywhere near all of this after what happened. He gave up steady money on House to be some kind of Hollywood liaison for the WH only to have it go poof a few months later. Have not heard a thing from him since.
-

Well, from a distance they do look like bald dwarfs.

I know.
They are constantly trying to sell stuff to Ryan Newman as well.

I hear Jeremy Mayfield will buy anything.

Do I HAVE to???

They still insist on calling it "Panther Field," but I think it's code for "New Black Panther Stadium." Complete with the Black Panther slogan, "All Power to the People!" as well as appropriate greetings.

"MSNBC News Honkeys." :rotf:

Jeff Bridges was an outstanding actor in "The Big Lebowski" and the remake of "True Grit", two of my favorite movies of all time.
He is also an incredibly flaky dimwit.
I also don't know any of those other names. I've seen a Harold and Kumar movie, but wouldn't recogniize either of those guys if they came to my door.

I try not to. Every so often, the TV sabotages me.

The last book I read on the Bolshevik Revolution described property and business owners (kulaks) who had their homes taken over by the state armed thugs and poor/destitute/homeless people moved into their houses. It was based on the size of the building and how many rooms it had. It wasn't specific, but it seemed like each family was allocated a room in the home. A "wealthy" family could find themselves living with a dozen strangers after the Trotskyites "reallocated" their resources.
-
The only remotely notable stars on that list that I've heard of were Bridges, and the women's gymnastics Olympic team. I'm surprised Gabby Douglas went along with it, after the way Moo- chelle cattily humiliated her on national television for committing the horrible crime of eating an Egg McMuffin.

One of my favorite lines from Romney's acceptance speech was when he said that he wondered why obama wasn't trying to assist America generate new wealth instead of trying to redistribute the existing wealth?
Sounds like obama and Lenin have a lot in common.

I think Romney was, in a roundabout way, calling obama a socialist when he said that.

I've liked Jeff Bridges ever since Thunderbolt And Lightfoot (which starred Clint Eastwood BTW). Also loved his role in The Big Lebowski in which he basically played a DUer, only without all the seething hatred. I saw an interview with one of his friends who stated that the "Lebowski" character most closely matched how Bridges was in real life.
It's amusing to speculate on and hear about which celebrities are conservative and which are are liberal, but in the end they matter no more than any other American, and by and large they certainly aren't more insightful or informed politically than anyone else. In fact, an argument could be made for just the opposite because of the insulated lives so many of them lead.
It is liberals who worship personages. Their moods rise and fall based on the latest proclamations from one talking head or member of the glitterati or another. As soon as that person steps out of line they discard him or her and commence gushing over the next false Messiah. That's one of the reasons why they are so doomed to misery, this emotional and ideological investment in naturally flawed human beings.

I don't care what a celebrities politics are. What I care about is when they shove their belief down your throat. I been a fan of Jeff Bridges for a long time, and just this week found out that he was a liberal. That tells me that he doesn't shove his politics on people. I admire that in him.
Plus, he did awesome in Crazy Hearts and True Grit. (The original True Grit with John Wayne was better (But then there is no way to replace the Duke). But Bridges was great in the remake. I really Enjoyed it. Then, I always loved a good Western)

The Dems have the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but, the Repubs have the NASCAR Headquarters! Yup, the Repus are going to be broadcasting from the NASCAR Headquarters this week by sending out tweets, facebook updates, and other social media. :rofl:
