What makes these people or any other American "star" whether its film, TV, Radio etc. think that they have the knowledge in politics to make ANY STATEMENT. For example Barbara S! From where did she matriculate in political science? Did she complete her High School education?
After his efforts, concerts, in support of the Democratic candidate when I hear a song from "The Boss" on a radio, I switch stations. This is my response to celebrities that use their access to the public to promote their politics! If they are not happy with the state of the nation, let them run for office. That goes for Sean Penn also!

No offense, but what gives you any idea you have the knowledge to speak about politics too?

They have just as much right to say anything as us normal Joe Schmos. I dont agree with her but I dont think we have any right to say they dont know anymore than we do... we might, but there is no scale to rank ourselves to a "star". They are just fortunate enough to have a platform. If I had one, you bet I would say something that's on my mind too...just like Curt Schilling and any other pro-Bush star. Your disagreement with them doesnt make their right to voice their opinion less.

I never went through political science...and ill never run for office...can I post here? Am I allowed to protest any future democrat president?

They might be morons...we might want them to "shut up and sing" but I will never believe for a second that those morons have less a right to make an ass out of themselves just because of their career choices. Im in web development...am I qualified?
