Clint Eastwood defends Trump's 'racist' remarks: 'Just get over it'

[4now]

Hollywood tough guy Clint Eastwood emptied both barrels in an interview with Esquire magazine, aiming squarely … at those who have taken the presidential candidate to task for racism and other, well, rough edges.

“He’s said a lot of dumb things,” the actor and director said of the man who has pilloried Mexicans, Muslims, immigrants, women, and the list goes on and on. “So have all of them. Both sides. But everybody – the press and everybody’s going, ‘Oh, well, that’s racist’, and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it”.

Eastwood’s advice to America: “Just fucking get over it. It’s a sad time in history”.

This country, he said, is plagued by what he derided as “a pussy generation”, and he wasn’t talking about all those cute videos your mom posts on FaceBook.

Clint must be wishing he was still relevant.

1. "The Pussy Generation rides again" Yee Ha!!!

I once heard sage advice from the dude, but it was just a line he spoke in the movie, i guess.

I can only paraphrase it but it was along the lines of ' it's not what the say, it's what they do' . Think it was in City Heat with Burt Reynolds. Anyway, the easy part is getting over it, the fucked part is knowing that you are going in the wrong direction while that
'getting over it' is happening.

Everything with a grain of salt (sometimes that grain just might be a fifty pound block of it though)

A great talent gone mad?

4. The obscene, the bad, and the ugly?

"Pussy generation" and get over racism when we're electing our first female president with the help of all minority groups? Was he always like this?
