mormonism – I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Tom Hanks is the new George Clooney. But without the rugged good looks. And the hair. And the chicks.

Remember back when Tom Hanks was a lovable goof ball who made TV shows like “Bosom Buddies” and movies like “Big?”

On one hand, he didn’t win any Academy Awards. But on the other hand, he didn’t annoy the hell out of us with any offensive anti-Mormon comments.

Looks like we’re not alone. Here’s what Andrew Brietbart had to say about Hanks on a recent O’Reilly show:

“I would say that Tom Hanks has been doing this for many years. It’s just now coming to our notice that he has been running with the far left in Hollywood. Back in 1998, he gave the maximum amount of money that he could to Bill Clinton’s defense fund. This is a man who was against gay marriage, as was Hillary Clinton. So, it’s strange that he has now come out against Mormons.”

Hanks has since apologized for his anti-Mormon remarks. But, Tom, we still need an apology for that Clinton Defense Fund donation.

Tom Hanks Apologizes to Mormons

tom hanks fire Hollywood icon Tom Hanks is sorry for calling Mormons who supported California’s gay marriage ban “un-American.”

“Everyone has a right to vote their conscience; nothing could be more American. To say members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who contributed to Proposition 8 are ‘un-American’ creates more division when the time calls for respectful disagreement. No one should use ‘un-American’ lightly or in haste. I did. I should not have.”

Hanks concluded his sensitive remarks by saying, “To show how much I love Mormons, I’d like to buy every one of them a beer.” He didn’t really say that. We made it up.
