Tom Hanks Attacks Soft Target; Wimps Out on Hard Target

Tom hanks is a good actor but as with most in his line of work, once they get off script they tend to sound pretty damn stupid:

Tom Hanks, an Executive Producer for HBO’s controversial polygamist series “Big Love,” made his feelings toward the Mormon Church’s involvement in California's Prop 8 (which prohibits gay marriage) very clear at the show’s premiere party on Wednesday night.

“The truth is this takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen,” he told Tarts. “There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here's what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed, and people can see who's responsible, and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting Constitution, and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let's have faith in not only the American, but Californian, constitutional process.”

Note that Hanks didn't go after a group that also overwhelmingly supported Prop 8; African-Americans. The media all but ignored the gay community's reaction, which was essentially to become psycho racists and drop the N-word at any black they saw.

But Hanks, being a typical liberal, goes for the easy target and one in which he won't be accused by his fellow elites of going against liberal dogma. It's easy to see how this works: attack a religious group who was against a political cause you support = good, attack a minority group who was against the same cause = bad.

These people have absolutely no balls when it comes to intellectual integrity.
