Apparently he was on a podcast recently and told the interviewer that he doesn’t lecture his audience on politics because A), it isn’t his job, and B), his opinion is no more important than anyone elses. Eminently sensible, right?

Enter seething harpies.

The View made a point of calling Billy out on this, basically branding him a coward and a betrayer of Muh Dumock-ra-cee.

Joyless Behar in particular said “Why would you trumpet how ignorant you are like that?”, while Sunny Hostin lectured Thornton In Absentia on his responsibility to join and become one with the Hivemind of Hollywood.

The Slime that comes out of The View and into The Minds of The AWFLs is a major part of The Problem in The Country.

They are always accusing others of doing what they are actively doing.

He has just as much of a right to remain silent on a subject as he has a right to speak out. We all do.

It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

There’s never any doubt about those harpies.

He follows the Johnny Carson School of thought.

Imagine being outraged by this.

Especially considering Billy Bob actually is a liberal at heart.

Meh, typical media exaggeration in the headline of that Breitbart article.

I totally agree with Billy Bob Thornton on the specific statements he made in that clip of the podcast. That stated, the ladies on the view didn’t “ERUPT” on him.

This is not news. But that’s just my opinion, which is no better than yours or anyone else’s.

The fact that 90% of those Hollywood clowns say the same exact thing should tell everybody that Hollywood is nothing but one more component of the corrupt system.

Of course. But I don’t think they are questioning his right to remain silent on the subject. I think that they are questioning whether or not he has the responsibility to speak out on the subject based on his platform.

Those are two different ideas.

I wish people with power and / or influence who aren’t politically savvy would choose less to utilize their power and influence when it comes to political issues.

Sometimes silence is better than opening your mouth. And I've heard Joy and Sunny talk more than enough to know that this quote depicts them both perfectly:

He’s always been left-leaning but I’ve never seen him go out of his way to trash a conservative politician. He’s nothing but class and is always willing to talk to fans.

I would pay good money to see Taylor Sheridan on their show. He'd have them screaming, pointing fingers, yelling over him, and calling him all kinds of unkind words.

Imagine caring what anyone on the view thinks of you.

Yeah I cant either and neither can you or Billy Bob or anyone else with common sense.
