Shut and Sing Alert - Shakira

Shakira

[Drew68]

I don't have a link. I received this information via a third party website, so keep this in mind.

Her official website is over here: www.shakira.com

She does issue a statement. I was unable to cut and paste the text, but suffice to say it is a little bit different than the one you posted.

She makes no mention of US leaders or space missions. It sounds more like a young girl wishing to "give peace a chance."

We gave peace a chance. It didn't work.

Shut and Sing Alert - Shakira

Screw that, just dance, don't sing, just dance.

Yeah, I know. But this is Shakira! She's just sooooo smoking hot!!! I'm gonna give her a pass on that alone. ;-)

[BruceysMom]

So she's 1/4 Lebanese, 1/4 Macedonian and 1/2 Colombian. Yet all I see is 100% stupid skank.

LOL

"We don't need leaders that create more divisions and resentment and more hatred."

Sure, we don't. Now get rid us of Osama, Mahmud, Nasrallah and the rest of that ilk.

Still, she has a very good investment portfolio, much of it in businesses that dabble in weapons, etc.

She mouths this stuff so the leftwingnuts in Latin America don't disrupt her concerts and so forth.

That's why you should never, ever pay any attention to a Latino celebrity when it comes to politics.

Haha! She's no idiot. Or at least her accountants aren't anyways.

That being said, I wonder how many of these anti-war, liberal entertainers invest their money in defense industries.

This idiot's native country is only inhabitable these days because the current conservative government, with US aid, has made war against the narcoterrorists and Communists for the last ten years. What a genius she it.

[muawiyah]

Which is exactly why she's not an idiot. Her concerts don't get disrupted ~ and in South America that usually means with gunfire and bombs.

She knows exactly what to say and where to invest her money. Besides, hips don't lie eh?!

[ishabibble]

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

Pop star Shakira makes plea for Lebanon peace

Associated Press

Greece, July 21, 2006






Pop star Shakira made a plea for a cease fire in Lebanon Thursday, before performing at a concert in Athens. "So many mothers and children are dying every day and that's something we cannot tolerate, not today, not in the 21st century," said the Colombian singer whose father is from Lebanon.

"I want to call (on) the US leaders to stop this war, because we all know that they can stop it," she said.

"I just hope that there is a diplomatic and international intervention right away, I think it's necessary." Shakira is on her Oral Fixation world tour. Her remarks were well received in Greece, which has evacuated 1,700 people from Lebanon 500 Greece and 1,200 non-Greeks and where near daily demonstrations have been held against the Israeli attacks.

Late Thursday, about 500 people marched to the Israeli embassy to protest the bombings.

At the rally backed by Greece's Communist Party, youths chanted "Israelis, Americans Killers," and burned two homemade Israeli flags.

"I want to call (on) the US leaders to stop this war, because we all know that they can stop it," she said.

That's not what she posted on her web site. I don't know what she really said. I missed that show.

[stands2reason]

Yeah, because, even if she was bucket-ugly, she'd still be known for her "art."

Riiiiiight......

I used IE. You click on her face. Then you click "enter site" and several "Polaroid"-looking photos pop up. Her statement from the Greece show is in the upper right hand corner under "News."

The same exact number of liberal anti-gun idiots who go around with armed bodyguards.
