Woody Harrelson on GOP: 'The S--t Those People Say Just Makes Me Weep for Humanity'

As NewsBusters reported last Wednesday, the stars and executives involved in the production of HBO's Sarah Palin-bashing film "Game Change" have given $200,000 to Democrats and liberal causes in recent years whilst donating absolutely nothing to Republicans.

Now we learn from a Men's Journal interview with "Game Change" star Woody Harrelson that what members of the GOP say makes him "weep for humanity" (MJ questions in bold, Harrelson's answers in regular print, serious vulgarity warning):

On if he is more sympathetic toward Republicans after making Game Change:

“Fuck, no! The shit those people say just makes me weep for humanity!”

For the record, he played the backstabbing failure Steve Schmidt who was the senior adviser to the McCain-Palin campaign.

Isn't it just wonderful that one of the stars of a film about Republicans can't stand the GOP?

But of potentially greater import and even more telling, he likes - wait for it - Steve Schmidt:

On spending time with Steve Schmidt, the political consultant he portrays in Game Change:

“I wouldn’t imagine myself wanting to have anything to do with the guy, but I really found myself liking him. He’s a political animal, but I feel like he’s an idealist and not bogged down in all the bullshit. Let’s face it. Obama was a phenomenon. They knew they were going to get beat, so choosing Palin was just a Hail Mary pass. It was just a wild idea.”


So, the stuff Republicans say makes Harrelson "weep for humanity," but he "really" liked Schmidt.

Says a lot about both of them, doesn't it?

makes ME weep for the future of INTELLIGENT humanity. He was portrayed as being smarter in his character depiction on Cheers, than he is in real life.

Woody seems to have done his deepest thinking at Cheers and has gone downhill from there.

Harrelson played an idiot on

Submitted by Trix Rabbit on Mon, 03/12/2012 - 8:00pm.

Harrelson played an idiot on "Cheers". He is an idiot in real life.

Ratzenberger, also played an idiot, but in real life he is an intelligent, stand up guy.

I wept for humanity when I saw Woody in..

Submitted by greggy on Mon, 03/12/2012 - 9:07pm.

Natural Born Killers, which was a depraved film that he and fellow libbie Ollie Stone inflicted on humanity.

Speaking of Natural Born Killers..isn't Woody Harrelson's daddy a convicted assassin who offed a federal judge? And hasn't dear old dad claimed or admitted some involvement in waxing JFK, as well? My gosh, I'd probably be killing off brain cells thru nonstop dope smoking too - but you'd think you'd have a little more humility toward others, when that's in your family tree.

Wasn't the fed judge that Woody's dad popped, named John Wood? Did dear old dad name Woody after his target - or is that just an unfortunate coincidence?

This is the year 2012, NOT 2004 or 2008

Submitted by djwolf12 on Mon, 03/12/2012 - 9:36pm.

Mr. President, it is highly counterproductive of you to be running your 2012 reelection campaign against the Republican VP from the 2008 elections. You have absolutely NOTHING to gain here. If you want to be reelected, stick to the issues and YOUR RECORD AS PRESIDENT as to why this country should reelect you.

But that was a fictional character on Cheers-still, he seemed smarter, not with a pot-riddled brain, and not infested with the Demoncrap mind!
