Redford disses Mormons

[_Coggins7]

But it's the content that so impressive. Right-wingers don't like Redford's anti-war movie. Who could have known?

Redford, like most Leftists, isn't so much against war per se as he is war in the specific instance of the United States using force to defend its security and interests abroad. Keep in mind that Fidel Castro is a culture hero to people like Redford and many others in the world within which he draws his intellectual and moral template.

Impressive cut and paste skills. Redford making a flawed film has what to do with Mitt Romney, exactly?

Redford has serious problems with attachment to reality, that's what it has to do with Mitt Romney. Redford is a Leftist, a socialist, and a member of a bohemian artist's colony called Hollywood who's values and beliefs are at the very outer finges of intellectual and moral respectability.

Conclusion: Redford is not to be taken seriously, whether the subject is his pretentious cinematic sermonizing or his views of Mitt Romney.

Do you live in Utah County? I suspect not. Or even Utah?

Reagan was a part of that "bohemian artist's colony called Hollywood," too. So is the current Governor of California.

People in Utah might not all agree with Robert Redford, but he's generally regarded as a force to be reckoned with, and in some cases even respected, including by the leaders of the (LDS) Church. You can be darned sure that if he'd converted he'd be paraded around even more than the infamous Gladys Knight, regardless of his political affiliation. Even Harry Reid gets to speak at BYU.

No. Reagan was a part of that bohemian artists colony. Redford is a product of it, and is a part of it in that sense, the sense that Reagan, or Charlton Heston, or Pat Sajak, or Michael Moriarity are not.

The "infamous" Gladys Knight? You've just shown your true colors here road, and I suppose its better earlier than later so that we know what we're really dealing with.

I'm all for Reid speaking a BYU. The student body needs to be brought face to face with an actual member, and a well known one, who holds views so obnoxious that it provokes serious thought and reflection regarding the implications of one's own beliefs.

LOL!!! Well, RTH, that pretty much sums up the extent of Coggins's "intellectual seriousness". The whole of his "formal education" has consisted of what he himself has described as "a steady diet of Conservative publications," most of which he apparently reads on-line. (Stuff like thefrontpage, which he cites obsessively.) Just trying to get Loran to argue based on his own knowledge and insight is a Sisyphean task; he cannot do it without relying on one of these far Right-wing sources as a crutch.

Pish posh. Clearly you know not of what you speak.

Who's "we?"

Can the Washington Times quote you on that?

Uh huh. Reagan was a Democrat at one time. He was never a leftist. Redford is a dyed in the wool leftist. As Reagan said, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me." And in any case, the Democratic Party of Reagan's youth could hardly be compared with the post sixties party. That party would never have become a refuge for people like Bella Abzug, Tom Hayden, Ron Dellums, or Dennis Kucinich. Nice try stalling for time hana.

Yes, they may. Why would I be bothered if they did?
