Filmmaker Oliver Stone, known for his liberal political views, said he would
vote for GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul over President Obama should
Paul win the Republican nomination.
In an interview with Rock Cellar magazine, Stone was asked if an economic
collapse would lead to the fall of the American “empire.”
“I think it’s a given,” Stone said. “There’s no way that we can
continue this spending spree. In fact, I think in many ways the most
interesting candidate — I’d even vote for him if he was running against
Obama — is Ron Paul. Because he’s the only one of anybody who’s saying
anything intelligent about the future of the world.”
Stone was a vocal supporter of the president in 2008, and wrote an editorial
in the Guardian saying that Obama could be the “heir to John F. Kennedy.”
According to Federal Election Commission records, in 2008 Stone donated $2,
300 directly to the Obama campaign and another $2,300 to the Obama Victory
Fund, which raises money for Obama’s re-election as well as for the
Democratic National Committee.
Stone also has a long and controversial history of political filmmaking and
political stances.
He’s directed movies about Presidents George W. Bush, Richard Nixon and
John F. Kennedy, as well as films about 9/11 and Vietnam War veteran and
activist Ron Kovic.
Stone is also known for embracing some of far-left’s most notorious figures
, such as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
