[UweaVilli]

I hoped he's a decent man;(

[UweaVilli]

what a shame EN voted for Obama;(

[AnarchalPatriarch]

@UweaVilli What a pity bipartisan pricks like you exist.

Our country has needed a third party for decades and history keeps repeating itself politically. I have a lot of respect for Ed Norton, but I'm sure his views are a bit different now than when he did this interview.

[qqkt1]

A real artist should avoid being involved in politics so directly. I wish he could be more cautious later in this aspect unless he wishes to be next Schwarzenegger.

[kenfo0]

the "vote or die" nonsense shows this.How childish. you hear a lot of prattle about the right to vote and its sacredness...i think it is and always INFORM MYSELF FROM MANY SOURCES then vote.NOT voting is a right too. Most people vote based on how pretty someone is.Obama certainly reads off a teleprompter well....he must be a GENIUS. I mean, he's really thin, so he's healthy...don't think about him smoking...that's not on camera, so it doesn't count. False image.You buy it and can't get enough.

[kenfo0]

I am sure this will be unpopular, AND I don't care. Liberals always talk a good game, but are bankrupt in working ideas and honesty. D's and R's are equally destroying this country for their own gain. I am talking about liberal initiatives like getting young people to vote. It sounds quite noble, but to be honest, young people are getting more dumb and easily misled every year. They think cheating is fine and do not work hard. They emote as if it is logic. I blame schools, PC, and parents.

[vanessahdepp]

is the whole interview here?

[MontyDoyle03]

I am assuming it is...

[5ra46]

I would vote for Barack Obama so don't get me wrong: it's in a way not fair that known people propagate their winners and many vote just because they've heard it from them. If I'd be in their skin I'd rather say: vote for yourself and don't listen to fanatics. Imagine how many "girls" voted just because Norton said so. NOT THAT THEY DID

[MontyDoyle03]

Edward Norton said GO VOTE... he did actually say who to vote for... you have to listen more carefully!

[ellastique]

before he says anything else, i explains that himself voted for obama but that it is not why he is calling he wants people to go vote "no matter what their opinions or affliations"

[5ra46]

yeah i know

[siadragonfly3]

What a strange statement!

Why would he be racist after AHX when it was just a role?

If you see his interviews during AHX he comments that all the white supremacist literature he read to immerse himself in Derek Vineyard's character liberalised him even more..

[waterboy00]

you would think he would be a racist after american history X, lol he is a genuine guy..

[renrav18]

That was just a movie, a great movie, but just a movie...it actually negates racism, so I don't really know how you came up with this comment.

[ellastique]

and you are a genuine imbecile

[ellastique]

and you are a genuine imbecile

[IrisFromWater]

Isn't Ed Norton awesome?! He's so thoughtful and intelligent. I was very much inspired by Barack Obama on 2004's democratic convention myself and thought that this man should be elected to be the president someday. I couldn't believe it happens so soon, which means the new generation has hope and power to execute. I feel so thrilled and flattered that I have the same opinion with Ed Norton. I love him so much.

[fuhrerschein2008]

I'm glad that the majority of the American people agree with Ed Norton on Obama and elected him president!

[IONIESKYE]

Politics&Truth...Bill Maher said on Palin:

"I'm a snob because I want 2 judge the inteligence level of someone who seeks the 'WhiteHouse' this isn't American Idol!"

She asked the other day "What does a Vice President do anyway?" like it can't be hard because she isn't in charge.

[JJSHF]

Is there somewhere I can hear the full interview? The radio station's website or something? Also I am interested in seeing is Obama documentary that he is working on, as I am personally a supporter of his. Thanks for sharing!

[WildOrchid72A]

This was fantastic. Whether you agree with Edward's political views/choice or not, you have to respect the fact that he is respectful to the oposition and articulate as he speaks his thoughts about the election and candidates. Thank you Monty and Whiskey!

[MontyDoyle03]

I really appreciate the fact that he doesn't use his "celebrity" status to patronize people.

[MishMoshUSA]

Unlike his buddy Big Mouth Damon.

[MontyDoyle03]

To be honest I was equally thrilled with the Matt Damon video. Someone who appeals to lots of people has to say things the way they are!

[MishMoshUSA]

Matt Damons a douche. If he doesn't know anything about Palin like he says then read up about her. The dinosaur comment is ridiculous.

[MontyDoyle03]

I beg to differ... Damon knows very well what he is talking about and he is trying to make a point. Palin is a creationist and they believe that the earth was created 4004 years ago or something.That means that all species that we can demonstrate to have lived on earth have lived in the last 4000 years.

There is nothing ridiculous about his comment.

[bigearl6969]

Sarah Palin is very inexperienced. Not just that but she is a lunatic. She is way to religious (Christian) to represent everyone equally if she became presedent. She wants a Christian nation with no immigrants.

[WildOrchid72A]

Great fact to point out Monty!

He is trully a gentleman.

[MissKristineX3]

Even though I have an opposite political view than Edward, I'm very glad to hear this. It's full of awesome.

[musicandstuff12]

hahahaha! why is he watching me?? What did you do to his eyes???

I have to go back and watch that again 'cause I was entranced and I missed half of what he was saying. heh, leave it to me to get so easily distracted. Is the whole picture moving or just his eyes? Monty! I'm confused.: P

[erdiva528]

this was from my local radio station. I was so excited for this. It was a great interview!!
