Jack Nicholson Releases Campaign Video for Hillary Clinton

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

It's a sad day for conservative Jack Nicholson fans, for the face and voice of such marvelous movie characters like Billy Buddusky, J.J. Gittes, R.P. McMurphy, Jack Torrance, and Garrett Breedlove has actually created a video supporting Hillary Clinton for President:

Will you ever be able to watch his movies again without having this support for Hillary on your mind?

Knowing Nicholson's

Knowing Nicholson's politics all along, I was prepared for this. Still, even now, sometimes it's difficult to reconcile an actor's on-screen persona with their personal liberal political beliefs.  For people who want to be known for their individuality, they all seem to have a herd mentality, politically.

Glad you approved it Jack

I could care less.I have more respect for the garbageman's opinion since he is removing the trash not trying to feed it to me like you and rest of the celebs.

That Lesbian-lovin' Magg_t

There you go.

Get it right!

To say you "Could care less" means that you care some, so much in fact that you could even care less. In other words, you care. I think what you meant to say is, "I could NOT care less." Which means you care the exact minimum amount and caring less would be impossible. 

It would be like if you saw a guy you knew from high school standing on the corner asking for change.  Would you say, "He could stoop lower" or would you say, "he could not have stooped any lower"?

Please, get it right. You just sound ignorant if you don't and you make us all look bad.

Jack, all you are supposed

Jack, all you are supposed to do is sing and dance like the trained monkey you are. You sure can have an opinion on everything under the sun , no one is saying you can't, but, even you don't believe anyone is going to vote for Clinton just because you do an ad for her. You just feel that you've done your obligation for the Dems, now go back to singing and dancing. And have a banana.

Ever read Jude 1:16?

Who do you trust?!

Not some idiot that uses THE JOKER to attest to their credibility.

Don't we need a President we can trust to be ready to go on day one?

Sure we do ... and we've already got him ... John McCain.

Who has a plan to make the United States a socialist state?

Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton.

Who has a plan for complete defeat and retreat in Iraq?

Hillary Rotten Clinton.

So let's get real about the future ... let's follow Germany's legal precedent and BAN the Democrat Party from the United States.

Hillary Clinton should be spending life behind bars for all the laws she's broken and all the people she's destroyed, NOT running for the highest office in the land.

Jude 1:16

A perfect commentary on Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party ...

Jude 1:16

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Shut up and act, Jack.

This wouldn't bother me so much had it been a campaign video for that what's-his-name messiah guy, but he had to go and make one for Hillary Clinton?

John McCain is a liberal. He said so himself.

The Presidential Draft SUCKS This Year

John McCain has some off the field issues, no doubt. But he's the starting quarterback for the Presidency.

Oh isn't this just

Oh isn't this just precious!

What is absolutely maddening is the caption about restoring our credibility around the world...I am so sick to death of hearing that sentiment...screw the rest of the world...we are always there to help in a minute flat or protect and defend if need be....

To top it off...can anyone even imagine his line about nothing more sexy than having to salute a woman (meaning Hill)...oh give me a break!!!! Surely he must be joking or he has lost his ever lovin' senile mind.

Unfortunately as far as watching any of his or any of the other leftists in Hollywood when it comes to them and their big mouths inserting their politics on all of us...well, I wouldn't be able to watch many movies anymore if it went by that...

Why can they not just shut the hell up and stick to acting on the big screen....it does make it harder to watch a movie anymore when seeing these leftists on the screen, it is a distraction for me, I do think of their politics and how much I personally detest them, instead of possibly enjoying what may be a good flick.

BT, I think, in their

BT, I think, in their stupidity, Libs, like Nicholson and the Hollywood posse, are confusing "credibility" with popularity. And I think they want us to be popular with the Hugo Chavezes, Kim Jong Ils, and Castro Brothers of the world instead of the Poles, the Czechs, and other EX-communists.

The effects of booze and drugs are now fully eveident

on Jack Nicholson's intellect.

A few weeks ago I read that

A few weeks ago I read that Jack Nicholson was supporting Hillary Rotten...some clever headline writer referred to McMurphy endorsing Nurse Ratched.  I never understood the appeal of Jack Nicholson...ever since "The Shining", he's essentially played the same caricature time and time again.  He was good in 3 movies: The Last Detail, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Chinatown.  And as that rapist Chinatown director Roman Polanski performed his infamous act of child molestation in Jack Nicholson's house (especially ironic when you consider the John Huston character in that film), I lost a hell of a lot of respect for "Jack Being Jack" Nicholson and his "thoughtful" opinions.  Besides how can you trust the opinion of a guy who wears sunglasses to Laker games (or someone who goes to Laker games, for that matter) and uses a 9-Iron to settle his traffic disputes?

He played the wannabe

He played the wannabe hippie in Easy Rider who is killed by the evil rednecks okies. Apparently he never grew up and still wants to be a hippie. I have often observed actors of the lefty stripe like to play the parts of evil right wing types they apparently despise, why I am not sure. Tim Robbins comes to mind as the evil domestic terrorist in Arlington Road, the whole cast of Wall Street etc. I am sure, in Hollywood, you are not invited to a lot of social functions if you have outspoken conservative views not to mention getting work.  

I really thought the

I really thought the advertisement was a joke until old bloated Jack showed up at the end to give it his on-camera imprimatur. This is sad. Nicholson has morphed into a rich old kook with scads of money and a great accrual of vanity who thinks his opinion matters to all the little people out there who've watched his movies over the years.

Poor Jack has slipped into senility

Democrats are either Parasites or Parasite Enablers

Do not rent or pay to see

I just placed Jack on my list with Susan, Sean, and you know the rest.

I can't seem to enjoy any

I can't seem to enjoy any hollywood or big media entertainment without feeling bathed in the stinking miasma of liberalism.

I agree AD

Almost every action movie has a conservative boogie man evil patriot theme or some anti US or US Government line even older movies in TV or rerun mode. MI III, evil twisted uber patriotic traitor. Most recent Die Hard quote: "Look how long it took the government to respond to Katrina". The Rock: evil renegade, venal, thug U.S. Marines and evil CIA types. Die Hard 2: evil, violent, venal, renegade, traitorous military types and stupid Cops except for Willis of course. All the Bourne movies, Most of the Clooney movies. The Matrix: let's kill any one who looks like a cop. ad infinitum. To my mind most of the Nicolas Cage or Will Smith movies don't seem to have any lefty bias, but I might have missed it. Even though I enjoy many of these movies for their action I always have to disregard the openly biased parts. My mostly wife says I imagine the bias. I sometimes wish I imagined the bias cause it is there and apparently most either miss it or like myself, gloss over it, without official complaint.

When you think about it,

When you think about it, Democrats reflect actors perfectly: The Democrats aren't tough or responsible either, although they too play that way on television...

Yeah, Chris

It's Holiday Inn wisdom.

For REAL Change

 What gets me, above all

 What gets me, above all the rhetoric about cutting defense spending, national healthcare for Jack, and for Bill Gates ... Is this whole going to unify the country ... bring the country together clap.  AS IF it ever really was unified or together before ... Why do they think we have separate parties, separate religions, etc. ...

But then, of course, under Hillary Care or B-HO Care we'll ALL be given lobotomies and THEN we'll ALL think alike and be unified ... together ... around the government provided drool buckets.

Oh Yea

A woman you have to salute in the morning? Picture it. Really, just picture it.

I have lowered my standards

I have lowered my standards SO low this election season that I am just happy it is not another endorsement for Obama.  I am sick and tired of Obama being "the chosen one" that gets NO ridicule or criticism.  Sure, Hillary is a complete disaster; however, she has not been labeled the "messiah" in the media like Obama.

How low conservatives?

How low have conservatives in come when the media have forced us to defend Senator Clinton against the diefication of Senator Obama? I used to say that I will never forgive the media or the Democrats for forcing me to defend President Bush's domestic policies but the media has just dragged us even lower. Talk about giving your standards a new paradigm.

Look who's talking

In almost all of the roles depicted, Jack played BAD guys. A BAD guy for a BAD gal.

Makes sense to me.

And he really is a joker.

Personally, I don't have a

Personally, I don't have a problem with Jack coming out in SUPPORT of a candidate, though I do question his sanity. What I cannot tolerate are those empty headed actors & actresses who don't support anything but simply bash Bush and America, ala Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito, etc.

When asked if he went to war with Iraq to derail the impeachment vote: “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).

Real shocker

What? A Hollywood Celebrity endorsing a Democrat? My god? I never knew!...now come on I for one know that 90% of actors/musicians are kooky liberals but I still enjoy their work and don't think about their affiliation. Micheal Moore is the exception since his actual subject matter is so blatanly political.  But I've watched Sean Penn movies and never gave a second thought to the fact the guy is a communist.

all i want

are answers and the truth. But, he doesn't have any answers and he can't handle the truth!

Just saw Jack at the

Just saw Jack at the Marquez/Vasquez fight in L.A. He was sitting about a dozen rows in front of me. He looked really nervous.

The weird thing was that as soon as the fight was over, he literally jumped up and ran out of the place. And as he ran out, he kept looking back over his shoulder like someone was chasing him.

Weird guy.

The fight was good though.

Admission

This one little ad didn't bother me.

  • OK, I admit -- I like Nicholson. If he's in it, I'll watch it. I may not pay for it on its first run, but I'll watch it when it comes on TV. I also admit (tremble, shake, shudder) that I like movies by George Clooney. I loved "O Brother Where Art Thou." I enjoy most of the movies from Henry Fonda, Warren Beatty, Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and countless others. When these guys are making entertainment, in my opinion, they can be very good.
  • When they make political commentary, I can't take them that seriously, certainly not any more seriously than any other citizen. I don't like it when they take themselves too seriously. I don't like it when they want me to pay $8 for a ticket (or $80 to take the whole family with the popcorn, candy, and soda) just so they can lecture me on politics, about which they don't know any more about than I do. Redford's done that a couple times, but most of the time, he just entertains. I'll pay the money if they entertain me honestly, but if they want to lecture me, forget it.

Nicholson wasn't trying to lecture, or talk down to anyone. In fact, under the circumstances, he seemed fairly restrained. He was just asking, citizen to citizen, for support for his candidate. This was actually a "modest" ad, and it was fine by me.

But you're right, Noel -- he's a guy I wish was on our side.

In Jack's defense

Did anyone read the article a couple of months ago which was linked on Ann Coulter's site as "liberals I like"?  It was in Esquire, it was an entertaining article and actually shows that he is a bit more reasonable than the grand majority of Hollwood liberals in that he actually read Treason in order to understand and learn about where the other side is coming from and he doesn't believe the Iraq war was about oil.

He wuz robbed .. why

He wuz robbed .. why Nicholson wasn't even nominated for an Oscar last year in The Departed is beyond my ken.

Vintage Jack, easily his best movie in years, and easily the best performance of 2006.

I can only assume he was on a Hollywood blacklist as a closet Republican, hence the Hillary vid this time around.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

I agree with KC, Tracy and Jack - Jack Nicholson is okay

I think this commercial is fine. It's positive and not obnoxious. It doesn't claim that anyone is evil just because they have different political opinions. Celebrities who support their candidates in a positive way don't bother me nearly as much as those who demonize.

He was robbed for the Departed - I agree on that also.

Most of the quotes are from characters who are psychopathic, sociopathic, otherwise criminal, or nuts -- seems fitting.
