In a statement, Reiner said Romney, and his running mate Paul Ryan, would “eviscerate women's rights” if they're elected in November.As a son? As a father? Even the husband part is iffy.
“We'd be talking about getting rid of abortion, birth control, access to health care screenings. As a husband, son and father, I can't stand by and let this happen,” Reiner continued.
Someone get that man a year’s supply or irony supplements, stat!
From 1984-1995, Rob Reiner was one of the hottest directors in Hollywood. Even his movies that overtly promoted leftwing propaganda, like A Few Good Men, were powerful. And they were entertaining and polished. The Princess Bride. Misery. He made When Harry Met Sally, for cryin’ out loud!
But then he decided that being a full-time, Marxist hack was a higher calling than making great pictures.
Look at his “Obama” campaign propaganda film below.
How many additional people do you think he’ll inspire to vote for the John Doe calling himself Barack Obama? My hunch: Zero.
Reiner is preaching to the choir. Feminists were all already going to vote for the dictator. If anything, Reiner’s ad may inspire people to vote for Romney.
If Rob Reiner had stuck to what he was good at, and at which he was able to create something of value, he might have won an Oscar by now, and people would be talking wistfully about his work 50 years from now. Now, outside of white communists, most people will say, “Rob who?,” and a few, “Oh, him.”
Talent that brings joy to people is such a rare good that it kills me to see talented people waste their abilities.
The starlets in the propaganda film need to make such public, political loyalty oaths, in order to continue working, and keep their faces in circulation, but Reiner had no such professional need. He’s devoted his life to political hackery. More’s the pity.

(CNN) – Hollywood actresses Scarlett Johansson, Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington are featured condemning Republicans for their stance on abortion in a new political ad from the liberal group MoveOn.org.
The spot, released Monday and directed by noted filmmaker Rob Reiner, will air nationally and in the battleground states of Colorado and Virginia, the group said, adding it would air during shows primarily viewed by women.
"I want to talk to you about women," Johansson says at the beginning of the spot, followed by Washington saying, "And about Mitt Romney."
"Mitt Romney is for ending funding to Planned Parenthood," Longoria says, with Johansson chiming in, "Including cancer screenings."
The ad continues:
Washington: "He said he'd overturn Roe v. Wade."
Johansson: "We have Republicans trying to redefine rape."
Longoria: "Trying to force women to undergo invasive ultrasounds."
Johansson: "If you think that this election won't affect you and your life, think again."
Washington: "Vote."
Longoria: "Vote."
Johansson: "Vote for Barack Obama."
In a statement, Reiner said Romney, and his running mate Paul Ryan, would "eviscerate women's rights" if they're elected in November.
"We'd be talking about getting rid of abortion, birth control, access to health care screenings. As a husband, son and father, I can't stand by and let this happen," Reiner continued.
"Misleading political attacks will not change President Obama's failed record," Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg wrote in response to the MoveOn.org ad. "His policies have made it harder for women across the country to start businesses, get good jobs, or see their children able to go to college and get started with their lives. Mitt Romney will lead us to a real recovery so that women – and all Americans – can succeed and live the American Dream."
Last week, Democrats pounced on Romney after he said in an interview with the
Des Moines Register that he was not aware of any abortion legislation he would promote as part of his agenda as president.
Democrats claimed that was a reversal for the candidate, who maintained during the GOP primary season that he would support efforts to remove funding for Planned Parenthood, a women's health group that provides abortion services.
Several House Republicans have introduced legislation that would strip funding from the group.
Romney reiterated that pledge later in the week, and on Sunday a top adviser to Romney's campaign said the GOP nominee was a "pro-life candidate" and would serve as a "pro-life president."
Ed Gillespie, speaking to CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley on "State of the Union," said that was a long-standing position for the Republican candidate.
"What the governor has consistently said is that he thinks Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and this is something that should be left to elected representatives, to the people through their elected representatives," Gillespie said, referring to the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision affirming a woman's right to have an abortion.

Scarlet definitely needs that movie star makeup.
