Actor Russell Crowe doesn’t endorse politicians. He only swoons over them in a cult-like fashion. Obama is “the light and the future!!11111″ Good grief. The deification of Obama is beyond creepy.<\/p>\n
Crowe continues the creep with prattling about “global awareness” and such. He’s a Citizen of the World ™, you see. And his world revolves around Man-God Obama.<\/p>\n\n\n
Complex time for the world. America needs to continue the Global awareness that Obama has set. A healthy America means a healthy planet.<\/p>\n

The “light and the future” isn’t an endorsement? Perhaps Crowe was just typing out passages from his tear-stained diary?<\/p>\n What set off this super-creepy endorsement? Oh, a hissy fit is all.<\/p>\n\n\n Yep! RT @l4issez<\/a>: Hey @twitchyteam<\/a>, I think @russellcrowe<\/a>‘s having a hissyfit over people mistaking him for a Romney supporter…<\/p>\n — Sister Toldjah (@sistertoldjah) October 21, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n @alice_worth<\/a> Alice, I get that and by and large agree. Somebody tried to hijack my opinion, I was forced to put my cards on the table. Sorry<\/p>\n — Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) October 21, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n Forced! By “hijacking.” Or, you know, by a simple error that in the mind of someone sane would be no big whoop.<\/p>\n\n\n Russell Crowe blocked both me and @americanelephnt<\/a> bc we wrongly believed he had endorsed Romney. WTH??<\/p>\n — Sister Toldjah (@sistertoldjah) October 21, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n @americnelephant<\/a> you’re kidding me. He did the same thing to me.

You jumped in on your own by blocking peeps being nice to you<\/p>\n — …………….. (@HopieChangey) October 21, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Russell Crowe & I could’ve had an interesting political convo.
