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.
Horrible, that’s right for you and the rest of the largest bunch of morons. Well, it deeply bothers me to throw open the gates of hell, and let the evils of the world ‘s largest and most insanely barbaric enter America. Just keep portraying the wicked as the good, the good as the evil. I have read that before, in the Bible, just in case you missed it.
Mandy Patinkin is a shitty actor, never been any good and never will be. Somebody should drop him in the middle of the tribal lands in Pakistan so he can get some “knowledge”.
I’ll never watch anything he does again! What an ignorant opinion & statement. Also if Muslims are so wonderful then stop being a hypocrite and go live in a Muslim country and enjoy life there and get out of the United States.White racism is just as ugly as any other type of racism. What is wrong with you Hollywood people! You’ve gotten wealthy off the backs of the American citizens and now you’re turning on them!
I suggest that Mr. Patinkin and his friends that think like him move to Afghanistan, Iraq, etc and live their life on what the average person makes. No security guards allowed. No guarded or fancy hotel’s.
Report back in a year or even 6 months on how you feel. Because right now you don’t have a clue.
He’s looking for attention.
This man has lost all credibility and should be classed with Roberto De Miro as an ‘enemy of the state’s! I use to admire him, but old timers has warped his thinking to the point that onset of Alzheimer’s should be the diagnosis.
Has America forgottin. 9/11, Nine eleven!!!!!!!
B******t!
Another idiotic entertainer who thinks someone cars about his twisted political view….
One big reason i got rid of my Show time subscription …
