Dustin Hoffmann to Piers Morgan: ‘God Bless You For What You’re Saying About Gun Control’

Feb. 24, 2013 9:30pm

Hollywood is known to be a hotbed of liberal sentiment, and the Oscars are often nakedly political events, in terms of the selection of nominees and winners. Still, naked politics during red carpet interviews, which are more often occasions for bland discussions of clothing choices, is something of a rarity.

But that didn’t stop Dustin Hoffmann from explicitly endorsing a political position in his red carpet interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan. Mediaite caught the video:

“I was watching you on television, and I think you said something about turning fifty,” Hoffmann said to Morgan.

“I’m not turning 50. I’m 47! I’m turning 48,” Morgan protested.

“I know. Nevertheless, that means I could be your father,” Hoffmann joked. “So treat me with a modicum of respect.”

“Have you had a little shot of tequila before you came out?” Morgan asked, laughing.

“No, no, I thought I’d have a little bit of vodka this time,” Hoffmann responded.

A little pleasant banter about the feeling of being nominated for an Oscar seven times followed, after which Morgan asked the question that touched off Hoffmann’s outburst.

“Do you still get starstruck?” Morgan asked.

“I feel extraordinary that I’m talking to you!” Hoffmann replied. “And God bless you for what you’re saying about gun control!”

“Well, thank you. I’ll have to have you onto my show sometime,” Morgan chuckled.

“Yes!” Hoffmann said.

Morgan has been one of the fiercest and most unrelenting critics of gun rights since the shooting at Newtown, clashing with everyone from Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro to radio host Alex Jones on the subject. One feels rather safe in assuming that Hoffmann would be a fairly light easy experience, given those previous experiences.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

      @Buster, Absolutely. They choose their roles, and, being lazy, choose the ones that come naturally. Dustin comes naturally as ‘Tootsie’ a catcher of homosexual pitches from Buster Keaton.

      The vast majority of these actors and actresses are constantly insulting a large swath of their audience. They do so brazenly and unapologetically. So, the logical question is, why are we still paying to see their movies? If they bite the hand that feeds, do not feed them!

      Just another Hollyweird elitist living in a gated community, surrounded by armed bodyguards, totally detached from the reality of depravity run amok due to his liberal ideology that turns a blind eye to the root causes and instead chooses to exacerbate the problem by disarming the already vulnerable law abiding citizen. And, perhaps most amazingly, this nincompoop fails to see the glaring hypocrisy in his words when it comes to his choice of armed protection. When confronted with her identical hypocrisy Rosie ( anti second amendment MIllion Mom March founder) had this to say…. “You must understand I am a high profile individual”…. translation…. “My life is of more value than yours”……. Stinking hypocrites.

      Good morning blazers….Who IS Oscar? I jest.
      I won’t see (pay) any of these films ’till they show on satellite. I don’t care much. I’m sure there are are some respectable folks in this group, somewhere, but, I can’t pick any out. They all live in a world I can’t identify with.
      Most of them, will not be with us long.

      People want to save America well stop going to movies,stop renting them,stop streaming them,go to your local library and get a book. The greatest tales ver told are all there and Hollywierd hasn;t placed their liberal twist on them .Hollywood will get the message but even then don’t purchase their product do feed the socialist and let nature take its course. Let that ilk die under the weight of its own arrogance.

      If you want to make an impact, it is so much easier to shut down Hollywood and the media than to hobble the government. If you have a public job, there isn’t a whole lot you can do about robbed at gunpoint, but entertainment is 100% voluntary. I know we’re an entertainment-obsessed society, but if a significant enough number of us simply stopped watching TV and movies, the Hollyweirdos would be screaming mad with panic. That power is totally within our reach. Stand up and be a man. Stand up and be a woman. Stop putting up with being insulted!!

      I didn’t see anyone on the OSCARS take on the cause of the Doctor in Pakistan (though I admit I didn’t watch most of the awards ..just on commercial breaks from the program I was watching) I did see someone from Zero Dark Thirty win and didn’t mention the DOCTOR still being held in Pakistan who helped capture OBL .. Hollywood was asked to bring it to the attention of WASHINGTON who has ignored the good Doctor in PRISON. Then I switched over again to see if it was over and if the news had started .. it had not but they were going to Michelle Obama live in the White House .. and that is when they lost me COMPLETELY! God I hate what Washington and Hollywood is doing to this country … along with the Lamestream media.

    You would think Hoffman would like to keep movie goers alive so they can see his movies. OOPs. Hey Dustin, not everyone lives in big mansions with security. We are our own security. If you libs want to stay in business you better switch sides. Or shut up and not offend fans.

    Why would anyone care about Dustin Hoffman, he shouldn’t be allowed to comment on anything until he issues an appology for Isthar and Tootsie, he wants to talk gun control when he is producing BOMBS.

      Interesting, I knew that the strategy came from the Russian Marxists, they took the general strategy from Sun Tzu and now the Muslim Brotherhood “The project” is doing the same thing,, even using Islamophobia as a shield, the PC stuff is Marxist, once you figure it out poof it doesn’t work…

      If you control the language you control the argument and the parameters of thought,, brainwashing

      the argument isn’t about controlling guns, it is about controlling law abiding citizens, laws aren’t written for guns to obey…
