is the whole interview here?

[MontyDoyle03]

I am assuming it is...

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!

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!

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.

[UweaVilli]

[UweaVilli]

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.

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.

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.

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.

yeah i know
