Mandy Patinkin, a lead actor on the Showtime series Homeland, made news last Friday by claiming “white men” in government and the military are the real “bad guys” and should be shown as such in his television series and other entertainment.
Homeland is now into its eighth season, with star Claire Danes no longer portraying a CIA agent mentored by Patinkin’s CIA character. Instead, she’s working for a foundation to aid Muslim refugees.
The show’s been criticized for portraying Muslims as terrorists for much of the first four seasons, and Danes as the CIA operative working to thwart them. Critics claim the show provoked anti-Muslim sentiment.
The plotline has shifted dramatically in the new season, with Patinkin making over the top comments related to the changes, which can be found on the next page.
I’m not saying love or hate the military. but by God respect the role they serve in the protection that allows you to say foul garbage like that. white men wrote the laws, founded the military, the police forces that shield your pathetic ass. if you hate this country, move to Afghanistan, Iran, Libya. see how much freedom of speech, or freedom of thought you have there…
What.the.hell??? Geez, I wished he’d get “twitter- beat” for this c**p he’s spewing!
Another one of those Hollywood liberals with his head so far up his backside they have to pump sunshine to him. Never liked his acting, now I know why.
Umm, in today’s Military there is not white males or black males, we are all Green, Lean, and Mean !

He needs to be deported. Everyone boycott the show till he gets kicked off. Boycott Boycott Boycott
The problem we have in the western world, is we have promoted actors and actresses, up to a level of elite citizens! When in reality they are just like you and me! We are all actors in our own life stories! The fact that they are paid millions of dollars to pretend to be a person that was created out of the blue! You and I do the same thing in our own dramas, or comedies!
Ha, dufus probably doesnt realize he just doomed the show to its last season. How appropriate.
What an ignorant thing for an American to say. Entertainers need to entertain and STHU bad mouthing our Military. If it wasn’t for the Military, where would these “has beens” even be right now.
The show went from Truth to Fiction.
