B-b-but he was in this wingnut movie!Republican movie actor Dennis Hopper is so Republican that he starred in that shitty wingnut movie not even Republicans bothered to see, An American Carol. But now the hippie icon and Republican-since-Reagan is in the tank for You Know Who, That One, Barack Obama. “I voted for Bush, father and son, but this time I’ll vote for Obama,” Hopper said in Paris, which is also in the tank for Obama. “I pray God that Barack Obama is elected.” [AFP]

Good, this will cancel out Jon Voight’s Walnuts vote. Jon Voight & Walnuts=two old white dudes trying to stay relevant who need to be put out to pasture.

obfuscator October 13, 2008 at 3:36 pm

Sweeeet! I can’t wait to tell my friends that the guy from Waterworld endorsed Obama!

GoshDarnitSarahPalinCom October 13, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Awesome.

Keep these coming.

ihasasad October 13, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Because he voted Jr., twice, he should still be shunned and be made to wear funny hats for all eternity!

Tommy Says Soooo October 13, 2008 at 3:38 pm

I think he and Jon Voigt and Christopher Walken can have a reacharound.

Son of Mark Penn October 13, 2008 at 3:39 pm

So Dennis Hopper doesn’t think John McCain will be Bush’s third term?

TGY October 13, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Noooooooooooo! Dammit.

mattbolt October 13, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Nothing warms my heart more than the utter critical and commercial failure of “An American Carol”. Well, maybe with the exception of the even harder failure of Ben Stein’s “Expelled”.

I’m waiting for Vincent Gallo to endorse Obama followed by a snarky remark about his penis and negros.

OzoneTom October 13, 2008 at 3:42 pm

If Jamakane is elected no one will be able to afford to go to movies again. That latest stinker of a movie will be lucky to make back it’s cost no matter who is elected.

Doglessliberal October 13, 2008 at 3:43 pm

Well, this seals it for the Muslin for sure (and, Jeebus, Hopper’s IMDB listing is incredible–have you even seen someone work so much where you have not heard of 99% of the crap he has been in? He has somehow made a living in movies like Super Mario Brothers, Supertruckers, and Meet the Deedles. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000454/ )

Oh, and I just want to note that Dean Smith’s endorsement will lose Obama the Duke vote (raising the question, would you want the Duke vote, ha ha ha).

Dennis Hopper for Obama? But I thought he was too busy planning my financial future while sitting in the middle of the desert doing Peyote.

[re=132004]Doglessliberal[/re]: The Duke vote is actually registered in Connecticut and New Jersey, so nothing to worry about there.

nurple October 13, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Dennis Hopper was also in “Cool Hand Luke”. Who is Harry Dean Stanton voting for?

I don’t care that he is voting for Obama, it doesn’t get any more Republican than praying to God that your favorite candidate wins.

[re=131981]ihasasad[/re]: Srsly. All these “I voted for Bush, all the time, in every election, ever, but now I like Hopey” guys are coming out and admitting their previous wrongs because they think that endorsing Obama is going to absolve them of their sins. The first intelligent vote of their lives, though, doesn’t completely erase their lifelong loyalty to the Bushes.

I hope he is registered to vote in New Mexico.
( he owns the old movie theatre in Taos, and almost started a culture war there with the Spanish and the Taos Pueblo by shooting up the place) Seriously.

If he votes in Taos he could do some good for once in his life.
New Mexico is a swing state. Kerry lost there by a few thousand stolen votes.

[re=132004]Doglessliberal[/re]: Duke as in John Wayne? I thought that the Indian Nation that adopted the Muslin would’ve lost the Duke vote.

Hopper is being very cavalier with that firearm…I see several violations of the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety…and there Hollywood goes again!…promoting gun violence and providing very bad examples to the gun owning children of America! Mr. Hopper! Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and be sure of your target and what’s beyond it! FuQin’ idiot.

Rodney Badger October 13, 2008 at 4:45 pm

Can anyone think of a movie specifically designed to lampoon the conservative movement? Seriously, I can’t think of one. Regardless of how much it sucks, in that An American Carol’s sole purpose is to make fun of an entire political movement it may be a genre-busting, one of a kind, political satire.

I know some of Michael Moore’s films are funny, or have funny moments. But he doesn’t go out of his way to make fun of entire political movement and its supporters. What is An American Carol reacting to? And, by the way, activists on the fringes are funny already, they don’t need Zucker’s, or anyone else’s, help.

And great, Hopper is in the tank. Who the hell isn’t at this point? If Wonkette wants to break news, they would be better served to find semi-famous people who support McCain at this point. I request some sort of video-journalism courtesy of Liz Glover designed to find this ever-shrinking demographic.

nurple October 13, 2008 at 5:33 pm

Half these guys will de-apostasize as soon as possible after the election. They’ll say “I went against my party because I wanted to give Hope a chance, but I realized my error after Obama raised taxes /devalued the currency/ cracked down on American end-timers living in bunkers in Idaho”

Miller October 13, 2008 at 5:36 pm

At least Jon Voight is un-moored from McCain. No swarthy black Muslim will taint the integrity of his performance in An American Carol.

Actually, I’m rather happy at this. One more vote for the Hopester. I’ve often thought Pabst Blue Ribbon ought to send Hopper a royalty check every year even if he doesn’t drink any more. Hey, maybe that’s the reason he’s doing this, to screw the rivals Budweiser.

“What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he had plans? That he had wisdom? Bullshit man! Hey, man, you don’t talk to Obama. You listen to him. The man’s enlarged my mind. He’s a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he’ll… uh… well, you’ll say “hello” to him, right? And he’ll just walk right by you. He won’t even notice you. And suddenly he’ll grab you, and he’ll throw you in a corner, and he’ll say, “do you know that ‘if’ is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you”… I mean I’m no, I can’t… I’m a little man, I’m a little man, he’s… he’s a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas…

By midnight, Rambo, Rocky, the Terminator, Major Dad, Frasier and dim bimbo Angie Harmon will have embraced the great Obama, who will then lose to Sarah Palin who will then ban all Frasier reruns from Lifetime, TV for Women. The end.

Hopper’s a menace with maverick swagger that reminds of Hilton quoting Milton, Friedman that isn’t: words to the effect that if you know what’s right and still do what’s wrong, well, then that’s really wrong. So as long as Hopper’s in Paris, he ought to wiggle it around a lot and see if she doesn’t expose a nipple or something.

He voted for Bush? Nothing says “I have the functioning intelligence of an amoeba” like admitting you voted for Bush.
