Whoopi: You're a rare bird in Hollywood; you're a libertarian. And recently you made some headlines for saying that gun control, you felt that gun control laws wouldn't deter terrorists. Explain to folks.
Kurt: Well you know, these are the things that first of all, I was in a situation. We do what we call a dog and pony, we're out doing the dog and pony selling a picture. You get kinda, sometimes you get what you feel is slightly ambushed by somebody who's really got an agenda and that's sort I think that's my opinion of what happened to me the other day. The last thing I like to watch is, is entertainers or actors get political. It's just something I can't stand watching. So having said that, uh no, I was asked about, I was kind of asked to put it in context somehow with this movie. You know, my personal feeling is there's a big difference between Fantasyland and Reality. Fantasyland is what we do. It's either writing something, writing a song, writing a book, doing a movie, doing a television show. That's, that's Fantasyland and that's where that stuff belongs. In reality, when we're dealing with things like terrorism and what not, we're all going to have different opinions on how, on how to do it, how to deal with it. Mine happens to be, that uh, I think there's a very strong reason Founding Fathers had for the Second Amendment and that is that no government ever hasn't had to, um, fight its own people and its own people hasn't had to fight its own government. We had our Civil War. If that Second Amendment hadn't been there, those people would not have had the opportunity to do what they considered was defending their life, their way, their style of living. I agree with that.

Not exactly the most articulate expression but I think Whoopi ambushed him with this question so he hadn't thought out a full response -- as it was, he did well, considering it WAS an ambush. Joy "Beast" Behar probably had to go cry afterwards because he invaded their safe zone ...

That's funny. He pretty much said the second ammendment was good because it helped the south fight to keep slavery during the Civil War.

although most would agree the civil war and slavery were bad, the fact is the south had a legitimate gripe and being armed actually did serve its purpose. now, it turns out the north had, in my opinion anyway, the correct morals and values behind their actions and as such the south is looked at as the evil ones, but imagine if it was something not as benevolent as freedom for slaves? the government f the north could have forced them to submit to whatever they wanted them to do. the south proved that was difficult to do when the population was completely against it and armed. remember, while ending slavery was obviously good, it did significantly hinder a southerners way of life. thats a difficult pill for anyone in their position to swallow.

I thought Whoopi was, at least by Hollywood standards, a gun rights supporter. Anybody know better?

She's a strong supporter of our Fraud in Chief, so I'm guessing she supports "Common sense" gun confiscation safety

Good for Kurt.

Whoopie and her friends can kiss my ass. That's all I have to say about that.

Ewww, you'd let those faces get that close to your junk? Ewwww.

Whoopi is a slob. She serves no purpose in the entertainment arena. I have no clue why she is still relevant and why people actually listen to her opinion.
