Did sexy movie bombshell Megan Fox just insult the GOP base?
Edited on Sun Jun-07-09 08:24 PM by aaaaaa5a
Megan Fox is a red hot popular actress in hollywood. She is staring in the upcoming Summer blockbuster "Transformers." She recently did an interview with "Total Film UK." They asked her what she would say to Megatron. (Megatron is the robot who leads the bad guys in her movie.) Her response surprised me. Here is the transcript (question and answer) in full.

(Snip)


"The 'Transformers' bombshell-cum-uninhibited philosophizer also contemplates -- reluctantly -- what she would say to Megatron to keep him from destroying the world. "I'd barter with him," she muses to the July issue Total Film UK, "and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?"

Megan Fox just got even sexier!






Megan Fox... would give up the GOP base for world peace.






Megatron... destroy the Republicans!

12. Yeah, maybe Megan could've said something more intelligent than "Opposite Marriage
But chances are she has more nude pix out there than Carrie Prejean. Too bad--I think Megan's all right. I don't mind sexy women, only ignorant ones offend my feminist sensibility!!

5. She'd be a lot sexier
if she had said Wall Street, K Street & Madison Avenue instead of picking on the powerless.

6. The people she mentioned are NOT powerless, they PAY for their leaders to spew
the bullshit that hurts the rest of the world. Their absolute hatred of all things non-Reich-wing make them very powerful.

13. 'White trash' and 'hillbillies' are powerful?
Not in any known universe that I've visited. The anti-gays & bible thumpers come in varying degrees of power, so carry on.

19. You're doing a great job of generalizing yourself
It amazes me how politically incorrect DU has become for all of the wrong reasons.

Goodnight, enjoy your solidarity with the wrong side.

25. Actually, I was drawing a distinction
between those who have been duped by the Repugs and those who haven't. That's the exact opposite of generalizing, but thanks for playing!

I just think her message would have better received if she mentioned the south instead of middle America.

33. In your own words F U
Not everyone in the South is like that.In fact y'all owe a debt to the south for inventing Rock and Roll. Lots of cool free thinkers, organic family farmers(http://www.tofga.org/) and musicians(Janis Joplin, Willie Nelson Butthole Surfers etc etc) come from the south.Hell I live in Bellmead (read North Waco) Texas and the grocery store parking lot is filled with Obama stickers

10. Let the boycotts begin!
You know someone will start tomorrow. Likely O'Reilly the Perv.

By the way, I've heard her talk before. She's not exactly the brightest bulb in the box. I don't know that you necessarily want her making ad hom attacks and then having to back them up.

23. We are them. Just the opposing side, that is the irony of the whole discussion.
War, Palestine against the Israelis, North against the South, Japan against China, the USSR and America, White against Black, Right against Left. Until aliens land on Earth and create a new enemy we can all side against, that's the reality.

20. Those people she took a whack at are exasperating, but not the worst.
Edited on Sun Jun-07-09 09:01 PM by burning rain
They're the piss-poor uneducated folks ground down by plutocratic conservatives (the worst), who yet vote for the GOP based on "cultural" issues (viz. Thomas Frank's What's the Problem with Kansas?). These folks, suffering both from ill-education and a horrendous false consciousness (which of course go together), deserve some measure of solidarity, while rejecting their retrograde thinking -- although it's damnably hard trying to help people who treat you as the enemy! I hope that in time Ms. Fox will penetrate these ironies.

The cute didn't escape my notice, though she does look sorta pinched in that dress.

See the comments she made about Scarlett Johannsson (sp?), for example.

31. i think she is intimidated by Scarlett
she will probably never be taken seriously as an actor the way Scarlett is.

also Megan has had a lot of plastic surgery done. she was already beautiful so that might say a lot about her cofidence.

38. Here ya go
"I don't want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson—who I have nothing against," Fox said. "But I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I've every learned to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.'"

"I don't want to have to do that," she adds. "I resent having to prove that I'm not a retard—but I do. And part of it is my own fault."

Never heard of her - and after looking her up on IMDB, it ain't no wonder...

She is hot, though.

32. So now we'll idolize a girl with fake tits, pumped up lips, colored contacts, and dyed hair
who's so smart that she has a tatoo of an ex-boyfriend's name on her inner thigh, and who talks to a fictional robot from a partially animated movie in a pulp interview.

We'll idolize her even though she's not smart enough to know that the people she described: "white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people" exist from Fornier, Maine to Chula Vista, California and from Blaine, Washington to Key West, Florida.

Talk about lowering the bar. Damn if it isn't like we grasp at straws sometimes to find some way to make a statement about how much we hate right-wingers. I'd prefer DU'ers just post "I hate right-wingers" over and over again instead of finding rich white kids who'll say it for us.

34. Good intent, bad execution.
Whites aren't the only race with some trash in their ranks. As someone who works in downtown DC, I can say that the most racist people I know are a certain number of urban blacks - these particular few are the most vile, hateful, bigoted people I have ever seen.

I'd like to see the trash removed from ALL races, not just from the white race. To hear her tell it, whites are the only ones who have unwanted trash. Not true.

39. I get her point, but she displays a lot of ignorance
Iowa has a lot of "the white trash, hillbilly, super bible-beating people in Middle America", but they allow gay marriage.

Meanwhile, in "liberal" and "diverse" California, a lot of non-white people helped pass Prop 8. And I'm sure they were beating their Bibles pretty hard while they did so.

Being a Democrat from Middle America--one of THOUSANDS--I find this woman's words to be every bit as ignorant as anything ever uttered on Fox Noise...or Free Republic, for that matter.

And, as much as I despise narrow-minded Republicans, wishing for them to be "taken out" is on a level with those who cheered over Dr. Tiller's murder.

Megan Fox needs to get past her own prejudiced uninformed stereotypes, before she criticizes other people's. Pot, meet kettle. :(
