who cares what he has to say? he doesnt make up the majority of america. most of us dont have excessive wealth or fame. how the shit does he know whats best for us? what a tard.
I will no longer be reading your site perez. Moveon.org is a far far far far far left website that could give a shit less about anyone but their agenda. Fuck Off i no longer will read your site because of this. You need to get a clue about the world… MCCAIN 08! If Barack gets it we are fucked so get ready to pay even more taxes and have another terrorist attack. If one of your family members were killed you wouldnt feel the same about moveon.org or the democratic party right now. Get a fucking clue…
Re: monty – Me too Monty
I am all for intelligent discussion but this isn't it. If you are a dyed in the wool conservative maybe you should get your gossip fix on all those CONSERVATIVE websites like FoxNews.com This is a liberal site- I don't go to the NRA's site and demand that my liberal viewpoint be addressed! This is Hollywood, Folks. I am a snotty Californian that is thankful for our liberal pockets..don't like it-well hopefully you don't live here. Actors vote and therefore are allowed to air their political views. Idiots.
Im a Vet and I also say NO to McCain. We are using our military for the wrong reasons!! Cusack is right on the money.
Why would I listen to an actor OR blogger when it comes to politics? Fuck you, Fuck him, and fuck people who can't make up their own minds. You douche bag!
Re: Rosa –
Let's see. hurricane coming, busing waiting, should I get on? naw.
New orleans should never have been salvaged. It is too far below sea level and in a basin
Cusack is actually very well-read and knowledgeable about politics and has been expressing his disdain for conservatives for decades. He's also written several articulate posts for the Huffington Post. I'm sure he isn't getting paid for that statement. And to compare Moveon.org to FOX News is ridiculous. Yes, they both have an agenda, but a News station is supposed to be the press, an objective outlet, not a cheerleader for one side or another. Moveon.org makes no bones about its agenda and is a political organization; it's supposed to have one. I've met Joan and she's awesome. Keep speaking the truth, John. I'll buy 2 tickets to your movies to make up for every conservative jerk who says they'll no longer see them. And has anyone seen "Grace is Gone?" He's going to get nominated for that role.
Re: lorie – By your logic, the midwest should be left to drown/be decimated by tornadoes. I mean, it's Tornado Alley, right? And California, largely built on fault lines. Tsk, Tsk - we NEVER should have salvaged the Oakland area. Viva New Orleans!
There are lots of Hollywood actors that continually support a conservative government. But here is the difference between liberals and conservatives when it comes to politics.
Liberals bitch, moan, jump on the soap box, and profit by making slogan shirts, criticizing others, making ridiculous films, being hypocrites, and cashing while they masturbate their egos, stuff their wallets, and do one thing while bitching at you to do another.
Hollywood conservatives are just busy working, living, and quietly executing the agenda themselves instead of asking you to do it for them. For example, John Cusack makes a strong political movie, he spends money on himself in order to tell you what to think and do (note this movie tanked)
Adam Sandler goes about his days making a product that is successful and he impliments his beliefs without bitching at you and ultimately looking to receive your praise upon the pulpit (Adam donates large portions of his acting fees to the fisher house on the east coast to support injured soldiers, his entire check from Reign Over Me was turned over to the Fisher House Charity and he also gives to various conservative fundraising organizations). The quiet American does the job, does not ask others to do it for him and then look to be exalted.
Re: Cait –
they actually may abandon a town near Wisconsin Dells. It was flooded last August and yesterday. Destroy the watersheds and wetlands (basically same thing) and Nature will find a way to take it back. So yes, If the area has been hit and hit and hit it is a good sign that we probably should not rebuild there. So except for the Viva NO we agree.
Re: jess – It's a shame that you think in such general terms. Yes… conservatives AND Republicans read Perez. And no… NOT ALL conservatives or Republicans are against gays or gay marriage. More shocking is that a liberal would be so insensitive as to use the word "retarded" as a means to insult someone. Maybe you could use some of the energy spent hating things you know nothing about on showing a little tolerance and sensitivity yourself.
IF it was up to the democrats we would have left Iraq with our tails between our legs, with Al Qaeda saying they defeated the military power of America , with Iran having control of most of Iraq, except the parts that Al Qaeda terrorized and controlled, instead with John McCain's powerful support America changed strategy ( which McCain advocated this strategy/ troops three years earlier) and turned around a losing war not seen since Lincoln fired his third General in the Civil War. End of 2006 to losing this war to the middle of 2008 to actually wining it. Everyone even critics say that Al Qaeda is all put defeated and the Iraqi army getting control back from Iran backed militia's, is something they didn't think could happen or happen this fast. Obama said in January of 07 "this war is all but lost and that this new strategy has no chance of succeeding", a guy who was a community organizer just a few years ago knows so much about, the military, war strategy and planning or national security. John McCain who served 21 years in the military who's father and grandfather were famous 4 star Admirals ( first time in American history to have a father and son Admirals in military and has two sons serving in the military, because he doesn't support the democrat's bill that just wants to weaken the military he has John Cusack a B list actor calling him out on his support for the troops, give me a break.
john cusack is wicked! great ad, even though it can be annoying when celebs talk politics in this case cusack is not your typical celebrity, he has a lot of credibilty and has only stayed in the news because of his film work! by the way he is looking like jos strummer more and more - he soooo needs to portray him in a film - and he would do the part justice!!!
That what left wing actors and even people like Perez are counting on, a stupid public electing someone as unqualified and unprepared to be President as Obama,( as long as he's not Bush) never mind that Obama's barely American growing up mostly in a muslim country, with muslims relatives and step father and then coming to study in America and hooking up with American hating Pastor/ church and circle of friends,…. ah I want this guy being the Commander in Chief of the American military and control of America, not in my worst nightmares.
Re: czar –
Yeah–vote for someone whose name you can't even spell, czar. Did you write your post all by yourself?
Re: Jenna –
Wow–you seem to have an anger problem…sounds like McCain's your type of candidate.
Concerning John Cusack, who has one of the most respected acting careers in the business if you do your homework, I thought all Americans had the right to freedom of speech. Oh wait–the Constitution only applies to people who aren't famous or "washed-up douches." Jenna needs to read less perezhilton.com and more newspapers.
Just when I thought it was impossible for me to love Mr. Cusack even more… He is not only an immense talent but smart, he thinks globally and he has the courage to say what others do not — and actually knows what he's talking about.
Give me a fucking break, is that how democrats think their going to win this election John McCain voted with on this and that with President Bush , maybe they were the right votes, like McCain not voting for that democrat sponsored military bill, that will weaken the military, and make the American military as strong as that of France, which is what these left wing losers want, a weak military, so that it can't compete for federal dollars for all their social programs.
I'm glad he did this PSA!
Kudos to Cusack! Down w/ Bush and McCain.
Hallelujah!! A man with facts turns me on. And I would rather have a moldy carrot be president than another republican.
I'm a democrat and if Cusack think that linking McCain to Bush will change my mind, he is simple to naive. Hey John, here are 3 facts:
McCain is an American Hero.
Obama is a muzlim's son and his mentor, Rev Writh hates America.
His wife Michele never, until now ,has being proud of America.
Who do you think will win the election this year? Really, who? Being black will not make you a better president. And that is all Obama has as a weapon. Not enough.
I adore John Cusack, and this ad is great. He is one of the few great actors who can have a political opinion and have it really count for something since he's so A-List.
Bring th pain McCain.. Show these pussies how to really kick ass. Obomahas ZERO chance of winning!!
If you're going to take advice from an actor I feel sorry for you. John McCain is the next president.
fucking sorry ass dick motherfucker! I hate you and every movie you've ever been in and I'll never waste one second of my life on anything you do for the rest of your miserable fucking life you scum bag!!
John Cusack can have convictions and still be an actor. One does not preclude the other, and he seems an intelligent enough fellow. Don't lose respect for any U.S. citizen who cares about politics and gets off their azz to get involved with the political process. Everyone should get involved, as it's your future. You don't have to agree with him. He is presenting a view; you are supposed to ponder what he said, think for yourself, and put it into your 'who am I going to vote for' mental plus/minus ledger along with other information you research yourself before you make an informed decision. They represent YOU.
He has every right as a citizen of the United States to say whatever the fuck he wants to . The stupid Republicans hate that. To them the only actors who should have an opinion are Reagan and Walker Texas Ranger.
Awww, unfortunately I used to like him a lot. So charming, but not anymore.
This is so awesome. I've always loved John Cusack. GO OBAMA!!!!
Team Obama has a huge battle ahead of them. If Obama won I'd be very suprised. If I were Obama's PR team I wouldn't want this depressing guy trying to tell me like it is. What's with the cheesy editing. Doesn't it seem like team Obama spends a lot of time and money trash talking. John McCain is the nbext president. You'll be thankful in the long run.
John Ballsack needs to shut up. I sort of liked him until I read an interview with him….where he cannot be serious for one moment. He's a dork & I will never listen to his political views. He's lucky he has a career to begin with. Neve Campbell dodged a bullet by not marrying him!!!!
We all know that the country is run by 5 retired white guys who run the country from their summer houses. Do you really think they are going to let this country be run by a black man? It's all fixed and everything is already planned so don't get too bend out of shape. Maybe in another 100 years. I admire Obama for running even thought I can't stand listening to him talk about absolutely nothing. Have you ever even heard him speak in details. It's always grand sweeping statements that sound impressive to all the listening ears.
no comment
Re: ME –
can you move to russia like in the 80's, in america we get to say what we want with freedom of speech..why dont' you research it before you make a stupid comment..
John you are almost DEAD to me with your political bullshit. Keep your little liberal thoughts to yourself and have fun joining the mindless sheep in Hollywood.
Oh pul-ease…
John and MoveOn need to move on.
Re: Kate – Yes movies like Gross Point Blank an Must Love Dogs, are movies that truly shaped the film industry! Get a Clue…He is a B-lister at best! …. As far as the message goes…I'm sorry but I'm not going to get my facts from some hollywood actor, who more than likely read a prompter created by someone who probably used misleading information.
I've actually grown up with Cusack watching his movies through the 80's,90's & 00's and he really is a stand up guy who doesn't just talk shit but has some real ideas that he holds true. Just check out his movies that he wrote/ co-wrote. Anyway, good for Cusack for standing with Moveon and putting out a strong and intelligent ad.
Re: comeo – You must be talking about the rumored rigged Black Box Conputer Voting. Some say that the only way a Democrat will ever win the presidency ever again is if voting goes back to paper ballot. Dems still feel they won the last two, particularly as the results were too far off the exit polls. I'm an independant, but I don't like the idea of that.
I don't understand all the bashing about "he's an actor and should stick to acting." What about fighting what you believe in. It may not be what you believe in, personally, but he seems to be doing something about what he believes in. Many people are upset about America's current condition concerning the economy, the war, etc. But different people have different ideas on how to deal with it and different takes on particular issues.
I see this message as a "think about it." And if you want to prove him wrong by researching it yourself, by all means, go ahead! The best thing you can do about this is to find out what's true and what isn't. I'm sure people agree and disagree on particular points with each candidate and it is almost never absolute.
Re: ugh – Yes, and I'm SURE he's so really upset about that. Lolol.
Luv you John.
I've got a question? WHO SHOULD STAY OUT OF POLITICS??? Celebrities!
For all of those of you who gave accolades for what John had to "say", you are incredibly dense. John had that script fed to him, just as he does with his movie scripts. The fact that he believes what he said makes him a sheep like those of you believe the same thing. Do your homework on MoveOn.org and its Marxist Svengali George Soros. If you are not repulsed by it, I truly feel sorry for you for being so ignorant. You have minds of your own! Don't let yourself be so easily swayed.

Re: You c –
This is a gossip site plain and simple. Just because Perez has been talking politics lately and his views are liberal, doesn't change the genre of the blog. People are free to speak their minds here as they please, and you being the incredibly dedicated liberal that you are, the very thought of the first amendment should bring you to climax.
Oh and referring to yourself as a 'snotty Californian' makes people take you very, very seriously. Come on! Could you be more declasse?

Re: Joan Crawford Bitch! – Don't you think it's more Marxist to have a Government that completely ignores the fact that 72% of voters who put them there want the military OUT of Iraq? They DO have minds of their own, and are tying to use them. The guys they elected to represent them are ignoring them once they're voted in. What democracy. YOU need to do your homework. You are the sheep. You are borg.
So many racist dumbasses. If Obama was white and his name was Christopher Smith the presidency would've been handed to him a long time ago. It's funny how people manage to read between the lines and make up excuses for a man who clearly has no clue as to what would be in the best interest of this country. To vote for a man who is mentally living in 1945, with no education what-so-ever, agreeing with Bush (America's greatest terrorist), over a highly educated black man who represents change is just beyond stupid. And for all you…………..I'm voting McCain because Hillary is gone………….SUCK A DICK!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go John!!! Not only do I agree with him but he is so hot. We both rock Chicago. Go cubs!!!
face it. Obama will rule the world!!!! The problem is and always will be the rather overt fact that he is an African -American and that overshadows everything!!! Most of you didn't think he would get this far!!! Big fuckin suprises on the horizon. America will be run by a BLACK MAN— O MY GOD. Aren't you horrified. It will be a new world soon. THANK GOD
I love John Cusack, but people should really look into Obama's record and true agenda before attacking McCain. "Change" is just empty rhetoric. Obama supporters are going to have buyer's remorse.
And for the record, naming a few things two politicians have in common means shit. Obama has voted alongside Bush's politics a few time as well.
Vote for a Third Party for REAL change!
Wow he needs to get his facts straight before commenting on John Mccain…..democrat or republican who cares. Just get your information correct
Re: ana –
ya, you're so right! he profited from the iraq war. no more respect for jc.
dude, seriously, you are so far off base.
Wow! I am amazed at the level of vitriol on the part of the right-wingers posting here. So angry, and so averse to facts. Cusack did not make anything up boys and girls! Don't believe me? Well McCain's voting record on the issues enumerated by Cusack is all a matter of public information. No need to depend on the radical left-wing, crazy, terrorist loving, know-nothing celebrity to tell you about McCain's voting record - it's all online. Look it up y'all.
Re: Lisa –
what is that makes mccain great? please inform what it is about his voting record and policy that you admire? his accomplishments in congress? please inform.
Re: bahaa – McCain used to be a voice of reason on some points against the typical Republican line, true. He is no longer, however, if you've been paying the slightest bit of attention to his flip flops since he's been on the campaign trail. It would seem that McCain's beliefs fall right in line with whatever he thinks will be the right position to get him elected. So, basically, he stands for nothing. He hasn't the character to have a position, it's all politics.
I'm sorry, right-wing whackjobs, but even if he is an actor, he's right. The fact that he is an actor does not make him ineligible for having a valid point. I definitely wouldn't say believe him *because* he is an actor, which would be ridiculous, but neither would I say, *don't* believe him because he is an actor. Listen and educate yourself on the facts. You aren't exactly respected members of government, political analysists, or political science professors, yourselves, so why would I put any more stock in what you say?
SHUT UP AND ACT- JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!
*perhaps someone should spend more time making really good movies about step children from other planets- rather than dabble in psuedo intellectual political rantings.
and why do people like obama anyway? hm? because hes a crowd pleaser= tells people what the problems are without offering solutions….blames others (bush), doesnt see the big picture. people are drawn to him solely for his ability to articulate well, and his "personality"- you know who else was good at that? hitler.
vote on dickheads.
jesus fucking christ the west coast has gone to hell.
Re: uptod –
Sorry, but that is true of ALL politicians who want to get elected. YOU, obviously haven't been paying much attention….ahem John Kerry.
swoon
John Cusack is so HOT and always has been! And I couldn't agree with him more about the message!
MoveOn.org is so fucking pathetic that they're having has-been douchebag John Cusack deliver their woefully incomplete message.
Let's shoot the messenger while we're at it: Maybe one day John Cusack can resurrect his laughable career in an off-off-Broadway play that caters to fat, middle-age taint-lickers who still cream their soiled Depends at the thought of his pussified character standing in the rain, listening to a bad Peter Gabriel song in quiet desperation in the pathetic, nauseating filmic disaster "Say Anything."
oh my gosh ive always loved john cusack.. this is seriously heartbreaking
stop the politics, i get that elsewhere. anyone get run down on the strip lately?
His opinion is really important cause he's famous so you should should just not think for yourself and think like John Cusack instead. Baaaaa!
EXTREMELY MISLEADING AND VERY RECKLESS TO TAKE THESE POINTS OUT OF CONTEXT. HOW VERY DEMOCRATIC OF HIM TO USE COOKIE CUTTER PARITAL TRUTHS. *HILARY CLINTON ALSO SUPPORTED HALF OF THESE ISSUES, AS WELL AS HER HUSBAND, WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE.*
I like Cusack as an actor, but he only tells the sound bites. The veterans bill is a scaled bill to give you more benifits the longer you serve, Obama wants to treat the mail clerk who serves two years the same way as a 20 year SEAL. McCain, and Bush, were against tripling the health care bill for kids because the Dems loaded the final bill with pork. Read a newspaper people. MoveON.org are primaily old rich white people who are loaded with guilt.
For some odd reason John Cusack thinks very highly of his self importance enough that we should give a shit what he thinks about politics. Unfortunately, there will be a flow of hack actors who'll do the same thing ad-nauseum…they're all getting in line to secure their reservation for the Lincoln bedroom.
Do we really need John Cusak to tell us this? These are his words of wisdom? Did he have some drinks with Micheal stipe and decide together that no one can think for themselves and need to be told what s going on? If he is going to make comments , tell people something they don't know, or something not written for him. Wisdom ? I don't think so. Maybe he will do a fallow up to high fidelity, to hi stupidity and preachy Micheal stipe could do the title song
Rock on John! I honestly don't favor ANY of our presidential candidates, but I do agree with the point of your message. Thanks for caring about the American people!
Fuzzy Bunnies Rule!!! LOL!!
I am so sick of actors/singers giving their opinions. Shut up and sing/act, don't care about your political preferences. Everyone is so in awe of Obama and I don't get it. He has no concrete solutions for anything. Everyone is looking for a change from Bush but I don't think Obama is that solution.
I am from Boston and everyone voted for Deval Patrick because he was a change and said what he wanted everyone to hear; just like Obama. Instead Deval has done nothing to better MA but continues to make mistakes.
Open your eyes people and get out of la la land. I like Obama but he needs time, he's not ready yet.
You're really going to start losing LOTS of readers if you continue to post sh*t like this. I get you have a right to an opinion and free speech, but consider the fact that people appreciate you for celebrity blogging, not you political views. So disappointing.
Re: Pisse –
Obama has no experience and what little he has, he has shown himself to be a terrible leader. Your only argument for him is "vote for Obama or you are a racist". Obama is not going to win. Simple as that.
I am a Democrat of McCain.
Wow. I used to like john cusack.
I don't see how it's so surprising that you have conservatives that read perezhilton.com. I mean that's pretty byassed to say when your all about equality and same sex marriage isn't it?
Re: Lisa – Re: LOL –
Just to add, it also says that the Anti-Christ WILL become the world ruler. So…if Obama were the Anti-Christ, he would win anyway, right? lol
all of our enemies (Al Queda, havez, etc) want the obamessiah. He will make this country so weak while taking money from the middle class and higher to give the welfare people and illegals more. I'm all for helping people but they have to help themselves a little. How do you feel about paying reparations? You will with Barry O. Obama means big government getting involved with your finances among other things. Who's he going to throw under the bus next? The american people.
Thank you, John….you've just given me another reason to love you! I agree…Bush & McCain are 2 peas in a pod, although I'm not too thrilled w/ Obama either….he doesn't seem very "American". It's tough, deciding who to vote for. Hell, I don't feel like voting for either one of them. It's sooo frustrating, ’cause they all tell us what they "think" we want to "hear" to get into office, and then it all goes out the window once they're in. Basically, our Government & just about everyone in it is corrupt. It's soo scary living in this day & age…war, disease, catastrophic weather, psycho killers, glabal warming, etc. I just want to live like the Swiss Family Robinson someplace far away to get away from all the craziness. What's a girl to do? This world is going to hell in a bucket, at a rapid pace.
Dammit, he's sexy!
LOOOVEEEE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
'Rez!! Thank you for posting this clip–keep them coming. MoveOn.org is a great organization. Let's keep posting the truth.
Thanks Love
Re: LUVHM – i agree with u 100%
Re: final –
i couldn't agree more. According to Perez, the majority of people who come to this site are 18-24 year olds, and the right wing/fox news brainwashing has turned my hope for a generation of revolutionaries to people who are trying to revive the 80's mentality materialist/supericial paris hilton-type mentality.. THINK FOR YOURSELVES. QUESTION AUTHORITY. or are you SHEEP?
OBAMA 08!!!
Love John Cusack, and still will even though he did this. Move on people!!! What irony that those facists named their ahemmm.. organization Move On, they should do just that MOVE ON!!! We can't change the past, we can change our future! Vote, or don't bitch when things don't go right!!!
who gives a shit what John Cusack says…we need a strong candidate in there and Obama is not. We need to remember what the hell our troops are doing over there and that's protecting our freedom so douches like Cusack can make videos like this. I'd like to see Cusack put his money where is mouth is and go over and see what our troops are doing. I'm sick of the liberal view. You are everything that is wrong with the world today. McCain for 08!!!
Like I'm going to listen to a notorious cokehead! If you haven't heard about his serious drug problem before, now you know.
