If you had any questions about how antiwar liberals were going to respond when the Democrats didn't withdraw American troops from Iraq like they promised during the 2006 campaign, you got your answers last night on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."
When the host moved the discussion to what the panel thought of "the Democrats, you know, caving in on this Iraq spending bill," actor Ben Affleck went on a tirade about these "f***ing people," saying that the "Democrats live in fear of basically, you know, being called cowards" and of "looking like p***ies."
Affleck concluded his attack on his Party by marvelously saying, "And they wonder why people call them f***ing weak"

Somebody had to. A man that could make a movie like that and show his face again has no sense of shame. But then if he had any shame he could not be an actor or a Democrat could he?
Affleck was once taken as a reasoned voice among young Democrats.The sad part, he still is. :')
Well .. he’s right
If the Dem Party party really believes what they are sayings ... then cut the funding
Didn’t you see how "well" that worked for John Kerry in 2004 when he played the politics of careful fence sitting and pandering?Speakin' of 1984... I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Sheehan supported Kerry, and did so without reservation. What, has she figured out what his words meant?
They can’t handle the truth.
Ben Affleck’s Vulgar Tirade About Cowardly Democrats Caving on Iraq War. Is this free publicity for a new movie? Why all the hype?
However, he does prove that Democrats run on an issue and never deliver. Look at the price of gas. Nancy failed on that one too.
Ben gets burned by his own party. Too Funny!!!
I think the rage stems from Bush hatred (something in no short supply on FR as well) — a supposedly politically crippled lame duck President with low and sometimes falling popularity polling numbers b-slaps the Dhimmicrats over the very issue they ran on and think makes them strong. It’s not a coincidence, IMHO, that the surge has led to a sudden turning of tribal loyalties away from al Qaeda and the Iranian proxies.
I’m reminded of how GWB was derided as stupid (and sometimes still is) and yet was more than able to endure the constant hammering by partisan media shills as well as handling Congress. Of course, there are those around who seem to prefer a presidential rule by decree, rather than the give-and-take, negotiations, and compromises needed to make democracy work. At some point in the past six+ years realization dawned on the Dhimmicrats (other than John Kerry, who *claims* that he was talking about the President when he made his arrogant, elitist, “stuck in Iraq” gaffe) that calling GWB stupid makes them look even worse for having been pushed around and outmaneuvered.
The Sum of All Fears
Affleck. You know, the insurance company.
They subtitled him as an Actor/Activist. As far as a “job title”/description that would have one as far removed from real life as possible, that would be it.
Ben the has been drunkard, who cares.

But yeah.
How did you find this old thread. Asking for a friend...
[How did you find this old thread. Asking for a friend...]
I dunno. I was chanting this:
SunkenCiv!
SunkenCiv!
SunkenCiv!
SunkenCiv!
SunkenCiv!
SunkenCiv!
SunkenCiv!
When I hit 359 chants, I threw a quarter into a fountain at an indoor shopping mall and here I am!
The REAL question is how did I find an indoor shopping mall in 2019?
I picked up an Orange Julius while I was there. And some Pizza Inn. And some foodsticks like the astronauts ate on Apollo 11 (or maybe not). It was all good with some Pizza Spins.
I’ve been to the future. Indoor shopping malls come back bigger than ever. Every store is The Gap, though. :(
Big bell bottoms are coming back. So is the AMC Pacer. And fake woodgrain paneling is standard on every car. Even the Corvette.
I have to warn you, though. Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still voting Democrat in Chicago in 2079. The city was walled-in in 2053. No longer safe for outsiders.
Little known fact about Orange Julius -- the company founder's *name* was Orange Julius.
His middle initial was Y.
The Y stood for Yougladididntsay.
Okay, ya got me, I made up the whole story.
The Orange Julius story, not the Ben Affleck story.
If only Ben Affleck and his friends were imaginary.
AMC Pacer? I was hoping for the Gremlin.
