Why conservative "actors" get a bad rep...

They open their mouth.

Hey asshole, Darth Vader was a WHITE GUY!

Conservative actress tells Fox: Darth Vader is black because it’s in the Bible and ‘Jesus talks about it’

Northern Exposure actress Janine Turner asserted to Fox Business News on Monday that Darth Vader’s costume was black because Star Wars movies were based on the Bible.

Over the weekend, MSNBC host Melissa Harris Perry had suggested that there was a racial component to Darth Vader’s character because he was dressed in black and voiced by a black man. But after the character turned away from the Dark Side, Darth Vader was revealed to be a white man.

Turner responded to Harris Perry on Monday by warning that “political correctness is going to be responsible for killing more Americans.”

“Regarding Darth Vader, please!” she exclaimed. “The Bible talks darkness and light. This is about evil and good. Darkness and light.”

“This doesn’t have anything to do with anything else, this goes back to biblical times,” she continued. “It’s been discussed in the Bible, Jesus talks about it. It’s about darkness and light, evil and good.”

Turner pointed out that it was “always” that way in the movies: “Evil people come up on the black horses, the good people come up on the white horses. I mean, you know, this is darkness and evil.”

1. "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death . . .

and Hell followed with him."

~ Revelation 6:8

Guess it all depends on what preconceptions you have as you read it.

2. Darth Vader's costume is a cross between an Art Deco robot, and Samurai armor.

I wonder what the bible has to say about that...?

3. Turner is obviously mostly right, and Perry is obviously wholly wrong.

The suggestion that there's a racial component to Darth Vader's costume is obviously absurd.

The response that no, the connection between darkness and evil and light and good is nothing to do with race, and goes back a long, long way, is spot on. It is indeed in the bible, although it's much older than the bible is - in some form it almost certainly predates spoken language, right back to our diurnal simian ancestors.

If you're really looking for something to take issue with, the claim that "political correctness is going to be responsible for killing more Americans" is silly.

But other than that, at least as far as the quoted passages go (she may have said other silly things in the interview that aren't quoted here) Turner is largely right, and Perry is straightforwardly wrong.

4. Can the bible explain Jar Jar Binks?

Can anyone explain Jar Jar?

Lucas, I'm looking at you.

5. Janine Turner is an idiot

That said, Melissa Perry sounds like a total moron too.

6. How the heck does she go from talking about Star Wars to the Bible and then to immigration?

Totally all over the place there. What was supposed to be the topic of conversation?

7. Many of them flat out talk crazy

Granted, there some left-wing actors/actresses that say some crazy stuff that makes me cringe too. Some actors/actresses are just not very bright people in general.
