    It's fiction. It's from the HBO series The Newsroom.

    It's not a guy, it's and actor playing the part of a guy..
    It's not an opinion, it's a script.

    This is too funny.

    The actor is quoting from a scripted TV show. It's actually a very interesting and well made show. The actor plays a Republican newsreader who demonstrates that it is possible to hold political beliefs and yet he remains open to debate which does not follow a rigid political dogma.

    The very antithesis of your enshrined deafness in fact. I am happy to recommend it to you as reasonable fiction.

    So are are an 100% of political speeches made by the Worlds leaders all they are doing is speaking the words written by some one else , a virtual army of speech writers ,that is a known fact ,but having said that do you or any one else believe his words are correct or incorrect? whether its all made up or not, he did mouth the words didn't he, or do you believe what he said was a pack of lie's from start to finish ?

    I don't know if it is available for forum presentation, but there is a short speech at the end of the movie 'The Dictator' with Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) about the USA which rings true.

    Funny ? no its absolutely hilarious: heres a guy actor or not coming out with a script or what one wish's to call it , saying that America is not the greatest Country in the World , the title of the thread say sit all ,Is he right or Wrong? Obama has seven "scrptwriters" /Speech writers costing a cool $500,000 a year plusan Army of advisers , do you really think at the end of one of his speech's one of his political enenimies will say ,"yeah but they ain't his words, of course they won't say that cos cos most Politicians have speechwriters and all they do puppet like is mouth their words ,now I'll try again are the guys words right or Wrong? I do not give a monkeys what you say either way ,all I did was ask a simple question .

    I notice you chose to ignore the opinion I gave on this at post#7 in this thread. Is it because it was too sensible or because it did not meet your extreme right wing agenda?

    I was actually seeking a simple answer to a simple question ,whether the guy is an actor or a Mongolian Nomad it does not mater one little bit , are his words correct or a load of baloney? so far all I have received is stalling tactics , As far as me ignoring YOUR opinion ,its far better than many times when you give your opinions on mine when casting doubt on my sanity for having the sheer audacity for writing some thing which you do not agree with , and and whats the score anyway? keep following me round from thread to thread? , why not start a thread of your own ?

    Thanks for that TBF, Farage is certainly the best Politician we have and puts OUR interests first, sadly if you can my thread "the UKIP wish list" you will plainly see that he does not meet with the approval of the left wing intelligentsia on these boards , but I do notice they do not give and alternative as to just who they want to have the highest office in UK politics ,but just choose to belittle mine, which is just "par the course"

    Why don't you tell us your answer, as I sense that will be the one that matters.

    I think we're jaded of 'yes - no' alternatives. Somewhat nostalgic of George W Bush's ' you're either with us or against us' ultimatum.

    The Newsroom is a crappy show, full of boring actors and each scene is played like they are reading a script, extremely unnatural acting

    but yeah, I remember that "honest" speech, and yes it was brutally honest and well articulated. The actor was simply reciting a "fantasy" that every news anchor has been dreaming of saying one day or another, at least the good ones who have integrity. It's basically an inside joke for those in the industry.

    In short, he is not saying anything new that we didn't know already. At the end, a pointless exercise.

    he is scum actually, but I like him a lot because he is putting in jeopardy Britain interests

    he is a big joke, and I bet he is encouraged to keep doing what he is doing until we can kick out GB out of the EU.

    Let's see what he will have to say that day

    If you read My opening gambit Moog I said quite clearly that I am neutral , simply cos I do not follow US policys or politicians that much .and I was not a yes or no question , just asking others opinions of what he had to say which on the face of it was too much for members to handle .

    So you agree with him then that the US is not the greatest Country in the World

    I thought that leaving the EU was going to be decided by a referendum , or are you saying that Farage will just say that's it we're leaving , end of!.
