Obama Hosts White House Movie Night With FOX-basher Tom Hanks
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, March 12, 2010, 12:02 PM
After bashing FOX News and conservatives, and praising Barack Obama last week, far left actor Tom Hanks spent movie night with the president at the White House.
Bashing FOX has its perks.
My FOX DC reported:
President Barack Obama hosted a movie night at the White House for Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg on Thursday – at which they watched a preview of the star duo’s new World War Two miniseries “The Pacific.”
The HBO series – shot in Australia – tells the story of the U.S. Marines’ struggle against Japanese forces in the Pacific.
Hanks and Spielberg – who worked together on WWII movie “Saving Private Ryan” and HBO TV drama “Band of Brothers”, along with HBO’s Gary Goetzman – were joined at the screening in the White House theater by military top brass, Fox News reported.
After the screening, Hanks and Spielberg dropped by the White House press room – apparently to inspect the espresso machine Hanks gave the press corps back in 2004.
A good thing too – as the star actor promised to buy the reporters a new one.
“This one is on its last legs,” he said, quipping: “You know, you are supposed to clean this after every use.”
He added: “We’re just trying to combat sleep deprivation, enjoy!”
Related… Bill O’Reilly blasted Tom Hanks for his inaccurate anti-American statements he made about his movie.

Bill O’Reilly might change his opinion if he know that Tom Hanks spent movie night with the Obami & will give him his “benefit of doubt”.

If i ever see Hanks in person he’s gonna get his ass kicked.. community service and probation would be worth it to break his jaw and put him in the hospital for a couple days, maybe it would knock some sense into him. (who knows maybe would have a bed right next to a racist WWII vet that would wack him in the head with a stainless steel bedpan finish his ass off)
Andreas K. commented:
Actually, I’m looking forward to “The Pacific”, but I fear that certain events will be portrayed wrongly. I’m pretty sure they’ll leave out the nasty things. Like the rapes on Okinawa (mainly committed by non-combat forces, I’ve been talking with old women who went through it on Okinawa, due to some connections, and there seems to be an overall consensus among those victims that both Japanese and black GIs behaved extremely bad, combat forces usually behaved properly and in more than one case took “proper” care of Japanese rapists) or the mass rapes on the mainland. Also, I fear the Japanese casting. Most likely they mobilized every “Asian American” in Hollyweird for it. Like in Pearl Harbor, where the “Japanese” spoke with horrible accents.
As for Hanks… go and hug a Bama, commie.

These Hollywood lefties just dont get it. They sell a product, a crap sandwich product, but a product none the less. Alienating more than 50% of their audience just to suck Obama face doesnt make any sense\
Maybe its time to just boycott all of Hollywood’s products, not that it would be hard to do. They produce garbage anyway! wheres the outrage with the little people knowing they make mega millions pretending to be someone else? Its a make-believe world onthe left coast, buh bye Tom Hanks! Your career is over.

Tom Hanks has always dreamed of being the pivot man in a whitehouse circle jerk. See, sometimes in life dreams do come true.

Maybe Forrest Gump wasn’t such a acting job after all. Stupid is as stupid does or says.

So-called “movie stars” are meaningless people to me. I wouldn’t know Tom Hanks from Tom Mix….and, ya know, that’s nice! I could care less what he says or does.

Don’t know where this guy started coming off the rails. DaVinci Code did it for me. Will not watch him or another Ron Howard movie again.

Hope you all enjoyed your “movie night” on my dime….meanwhile I haven’t been out to a movie in I don’t know how long….but that’s okay there really isn’t anything out there I would waste my money on anyway….just not thrilled to be footing the bill for all you “rich” people…

I’ll never give a dime to see either of their movies again. They are both obvious marxists. They don’t like capitalism, so they should not profit from it. Go to hell, both of you. By the way if their is another terrorist attack while their loser friend is in the White House, may it be right where they live.

“I’m pretty sure they’ll leave out the nasty things. Like the rapes on Okinawa…or the mass rapes on the mainland.”
WTF. Are you talking about American servicemen? If you are, you better get off the crack pipe. Rape was a standard part of the Japanese brutalization in the countries it conquered and is condemned to this day. Filipinos still hate the Japanese for their inhumane conduct in the Philippines.

Earth to Hanks et al..
Amin Al Husseini: Nazi Father of Jihad, Al Qaeda, Arafat, Saddam Hussein
Hitler, The Mufti Of Jerusalem And Modern Islamo Nazism
Muslim Brotherhood Project
Bin Laden and the Muslim Brotherhood
[Bin Laden grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, a period of great turmoil throughout the Middle East. Raised in a strict Islamic environment (like most of his peers), bin Laden was exposed at school to the ideas of his Muslim Brotherhood teachers. The Muslim Brotherhood, often considered the forerunner to contemporary Islamist terrorist groups, was founded in Egypt in the late 1920s, when Egypt was under British occupation. The group saw Islamic rule as necessary to counter Western influence. They advocated violence to achieve Egyptian independence.]
The Muslim Brotherhood, Nazis and Al-Qaeda
[Here's how the story began. In the 1920's there was a young Egyptian named al Bana. And al Bana formed this nationalist group called the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Bana was a devout admirer of Adolph Hitler and wrote to him frequently. So persistent was he in his admiration of the new Nazi Party that in the 1930's, al-Bana and the Muslim Brotherhood became a secret arm of Nazi intelligence.
The Arab Nazis had much in common with the new Nazi doctrines. They hated Jews; they hated democracy; and they hated the Western culture. It became the official policy of the Third Reich to secretly develop the Muslim Brotherhood as the fifth Parliament, an army inside Egypt.
When war broke out, the Muslim Brotherhood promised in writing that they would rise up and help General Rommell and make sure that no English or American soldier was left alive in Cairo or Alexandria.]
BIN LADEN’S FATWA
[The following text is a fatwa, or declaration of war, by Osama bin Laden first published in Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based newspaper,
in August, 1996. The fatwa is entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places." ]
American Jihad
Obama & the Muslim Brotherhood
Obama stacking the deck with Islamists
[Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto.]
and that was just a sample of much much more..

BG – you got it right. Yes, during WWII there were racist things being said about Japanese – but WE didn’t sneak-attack THEM….the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and had been planning for months their attack and war to “stop Imperialist America” so they could be the fascist rulers of Asia. Hanks has great talent. But he is a student of the “social (in)justice” revisionist history of America. He doesn’t know the truth, and probably wouldn’t if it literally hit him on the head.
O’Reilly missed the point – Hanks was basically throwing out the leftist Big Lie that Americans are all racists, because people during WWII fought their enemies, believed in victory over defeat, and fought with EVERYTHING we had to keep the world free. The soldiers in the Pacific Theater were not perfect – who is? However, they fought with valor, gave everything they had, and WON the fight and kept our nation free!! Thank you Marines, Navy, and all the WWII vets who sacrificed your youth for my liberty.
And USMC Tom: I believe #4 post was about the horrific acts of the Japanese. The PC history taught today (revisionist pablum actually, not truth) is that these Japanese atrocities did NOT happen; that is was the US who committed atrocities. I believe Andreas K. was trying to say that the Japanese are the ones who were heartless and evil, and that the PC “docu-drama” will leave these things out – can’t have truth get in the way of re-writing history, can we?! (/sarc) From your name, I take it you are a Marine. If so, I thank you. Serving our country in uniform is the highest calling to those who love our nation, our Constitution, our liberty. Semper fi.
USMC Thomas commented:
@Andreas K. #4
My apologies.
There will also be no mention of the Japanese Army Unit 731, which surpassed the Nazi’s in performing inhuman medical experimentation on it’s prisoners.

Yes, I do. Big, Turner and Hooch, ‘Burbs, just to name a few. Then he won some awards, grew full of himself, and started spouting his worthless opinions on topics other than movies and acting, such as history and politics.

Charles D., we mindless, violent automatons are programmed to eliminate liberals only. We aren’t programmed to kill Jews, gays or blacks, although some Jews, gays, and blacks may be among the eliminated liberals. That goes for whites, heteros, and self-proclaimed Christians, too. Rehabilitation and reformation from libtardedness are our preferred methods of eliminating liberalism. Fortunately, many of those who considered themselves liberals in 2008 have wised up and are now counted among conservatives and libertarians, making our job much easier. Only the willfully ignorant and those too stupid to learn are still liberals.
PS: Just so you know better next time, it’s “toe the (party) line,” not “tow the (party) line.” To follow to the letter or be in lock-step with has nothing to do with pulling or dragging anything. Toeing the line means standing with one’s toes right up to the line, not near the line or crossing the line. If you’re not too stupid to learn, try to get it right next time. Idiot.

believe you mean people like this..
Brown Shirts, although i’m pretty certain they’ll be Green
Shirts for two reasons: 1) green jobs; 2) represents Islam..
[disclaimer: or Red Shirts for two reason: 1) Islamists are Communists too; 2) so they can easily merge in with Chavez' global citizens troops..]
what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil.. that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the harsh reality they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good even if [the] all is evil.. – bg

Stop paying to watch their movies in theaters. Hell, pull the plug on your cable and satellite also. 1 year ago when Obama told us we would have to make sacrifices I called direct tv and told them what Obama said. I then told them I chose to sacrifice the mainstream media. The operator didn’t know what to say. Then they tried offering me a discount which I refused. I told them that I am trying to lower my carbon footprint.
Conservatives can destroy these a-holes if we all work together.
Yeah, I miss Fox News on TV but their website has all the pertinent video clips from their shows for free. And if not, chances are a blogger posts something from their shows. You can still be in touch without their channel on your tv.
Do you wonder why there were no political attacks on conservatives at the Oscars this year? Their agents are telling them to keep their mouths shut. Every time they pipe off they alienate 40% of the country.
Jim commented:
I refuse to pay to see anything with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Alec Bladwin, or any of these other dipsticks. Hanks has now been added to the list.
This is no longer Tom Hanks from Batchelor party, he’s been consumed by the elite snobs in Hollyweird. Make him irrelevant, don’t fund his work.

Tom and obie were just planning to bring back that great classic sitcom bosum buddies….this time bosum buddies 2……starring tom and obie of course…..we all know the media whore can always use more air time……better yet how about the remake of castaway we can put them both on a deserted island and leave them there….

re: Japanese Army Unit 731
THE UNTOLD STORY OF UNIT 731 explores one of the darkest spots in Japanese history. Emmy Award Nominee Serge Viallet enables the witnesses and survivors to break their 60 years long silence and recount the atrocities carried out in Manchuria by this unthinkable Special Unit 731 who “experimented” on living human beings.
During the Second World War the Japanese military set up a highly secretive biological weapons research unit (Unit 731), fronted by the obsessive General Dr. Shiro Ishii, which would be located in occupied Manchuria, China, under the false designation of ‘epidemic prevention and water purification’. For almost 15 years the sinister unit carried out experiments on thousands of human guinea pigs, including Chinese, Russian and possibly American prisoners (men, women and children).
From infecting prisoners with the plague and cholera, to death in gas and decompression chambers, the experiments carried out at the facility were truly hideous, and a despicable waste of innocent human lives.
It is this dark chapter in the history of Japan.

in case no one has been following the many links that have been posted explaining what the NWO is about & how they are going to get there.. the plan is to depopulate the Earth under the guise of Global Warming aka: Climate Change..
truth is stranger than fiction..
ask yourself why the UN not only tolerates, but in some cases, promotes genocide in Africa, not to mention Obama’s foreign policy which secures oppression, human rights violations, abortion, infanticide & also favors euthanasia, as does his domestic health care bill??
