because intelligent stars have every right
Movie-maker OLIVER STONE
Has-been looser.
Hes so bad hes getting ZBooring.
If they wouldn't act like such fools we would pay them more mind.
They are public figures. They have opinions. They express them. We express back. Get over it, Stone.
Oliver Stone is a veteran...who knew? (sarcasm)
Oliver Stone?
I thought that little Vietnamese guy blew
him apart in "Platoon."
Gee Oliver, I would slander you, but I don't think you are worth it.
Oliver, truth is an absolute defense against slander charges.
If a famous person uses that fame to speak out on politics then they deserve political scrutiny..thats only fair.
We have a rule at work that we never discuss sex, religion or politics with customers...and I'd be very upset if my political opinions effected my job.
But if chose to start using my job to promote my politics then it would be fair to consider that as part of my job performance.
" ... because intelligent stars have every right to question their leaders."
And by the same token, we have the same right to question the "intelligence" of stars :)
Why isn't this guy in jail? Wasn't he busted with drugs a few months ago?
Man, I'll tell y'all up front, it took me quite a while to lay off the guffaws when I read about those intelligent stars. You know, sometimes I even think they believe what these people tell them to do, too!
After regaining my composure, I was inevitably forced to think just who exactly has attacked their right to express themselves. Last I checked, the rhetoric was still flowing free and easy out of la-la-land there on the Left Coast. On the other hand, I guess this is a step up from the whining about "questioning their patriotism."
From 1967 to 1968, Stone would return to Vietnam this time as a soldier - he served fifteen months in the 25th Infantry Division. He was awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart for his service in the war.
Oliver Stone makes such lousy movies, I would not doubt the Arabs are the only ones who will fund them. Remember folks, Hollywood does not care if a movie is good or bad, they only care if somebody will put up the money to make it.

Intelligent stars. THERE'S an oxymoron.

Oh Oliver... it's not your right to speak that's an issue... apparently it's OUR right to speak that's bothering you.
Why should the nightly news give a rat's ass about the political views of celebrities? They aren't famous for their minds.
They are paid to spout lines written for them by someone else and to look pretty. If they want to be taken seriously in politics, they should run as politicians.
I would really like to see Entertainment Tonight lead off each show with Saddam Hussein's take on Basic Instinct 2, and why it was a disaster, or Tony Blair slamming Benchwarmers.
And Jane Fonda was an (useful) idiot for saying that Americans should all submit to Communism, that really we would all be so much happier if only we would try it.
Dear Oliver Stone and other Hollywood Preening Pimping Narcissists:
If and when I decide that months and months of effort on your behalf are worth my spending 9 dollars to see, I will watch your prancing on a movie screen. If I find you not suitably entertaining, I will not watch any more of your attempts at entertainment, and will instead do somethign more useful, like post on FreeRepublic.com
Should you find yourself a dollar richer because I decided to witness your antics for an evening, count yourself blessed. I am in no way obligated to pay to be entertanined by the likes of you, and certainly do not consider your viewpoints relevant in the least. If I wanted your political opinions, I would have asked for them; and I certainly have not.
If you do insist on making your America-hating views known to me, I will take special delight in not spending one red cent to see your life's best work. If I think you appear in a production of interest to me, I will procur a copy of your efforts on the used market, so as to deny you any enurement whatsoever.
When I feel you are sufficiently contrite, I might spend a few dollars on you.
Yet another conspiracy theory by the paranoid Stone...Intelligent stars?????
Yeah, right!
