Left-wing activist/actor Tim Robbins took a crude shot Thursday night at "compassionate conservatives." On CBS's late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, when Robbins was asked to "use the words 'compassionate' and 'conservative' in the same sentence while being neither ironic nor scornful," Robbins came up with "F*** compassionate conservatives," forcing CBS to bleep his first word though it was clear what it was.

The MRC's Brian Boyd caught the exchange in question #4 during the "5 Questions" segment on the October 30 show:

Kilborn: "Use the words 'compassionate' and 'conservative' in the same sentence while being neither ironic nor scornful." Robbins: "Um, eh, that's a tough one. Neither ironic or scornful?" Kilborn: "Yeah." Robbins: "Alright. (Bleep) compassionate conservatives." Kilborn to judges: "Wait was that scornful? Wait. Judges? It was scornful, we can't accept that." Robbins: "But I got to say (bleep)."

A proud moment for the Hollywood Left.

Tim Robbins is a washed up loser.

He's about as significant as dog crap on your shoe.

Annoying and smelly.

Its time "Andy" got another visit from the "Sisters".

I just LOVE the display of tolerance shown by the left time & again.

[BenLurkin]

Lessee, this is the same "main-stream" media which the lefties say is 'conservative'. What a crock.

Robbins: "But I got to say (bleep)."

Congratulations on your accomplishment there, Tim...

Conservatism is compassionate. Anyone who thinks it's necesary to qualify "conservative" with "comapssionate" is, IMHO, a liberal at heart.

Even worse, Jack Kemp's "bleeding-heart conservatism".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

You can help to line Mr Robbins and (consequently his live in Susan Sarandon's) pockets
by seeing his and Sean (save Saddam Hussein) Penns latest attempt at acting in Clint Eastwood's newest draaaa muh
"Mystic River"...

Kilborn is a KNOWN Lefty. He bates all the time. He saw Tim Robbins as a free ride to help bash us RED STATES.

[CWOJackson]

Tim who?

[jonalvy44]

and he wants our money? I don't think so...We've been boycotting him for some time now. Join us.

That sounds about right from one of them that usually needs a script writer to make them sound intelligent.

[bushfamfan]

Yes, he's such a peaceful man and shows it time and time again. Didn't he also threaten to beat up a reporter that had a story on Susan Sarandon's mother being a Republican?

Kilborn is a KNOWN Lefty. He bates all the time.

He's a MASTER at it.

Wow, the mental powers Mr. Robbins must have to come up
with so clever a line.

Review: Clint Eastwood directs this slow and tedious film with great performances from Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne. Mystic River is a frustrating endeavor due to the caliber of talent involved. The muddiness of the script, mostly in terms of dialogue, together with the frequent bouts of over-acting, and the overall slow, meticulous way that the film unfolds make for an often tedious experience that has a few hidden rewards, mostly in the forms of Bacon, Fishburne, and Guiry. ( Jimmy (Sean Penn), Dave (Tim Robbins))

But the real problem with Jimmy is that Penn seems to be forcing the character to emerge. It's perhaps one of the most earnest performances I've seen from this normally stellar actor and it results in the character being less than fulfilling. The same can be said for Tim Robbins' portrayal of Dave. He plays the character as a sad sack, almost withdrawn, borderline mentally retarded individual. He's slow and impassive, supposedly the result of the trauma he suffered as a young child. But again, as with the character of Annabeth, Dave ends up coming across as erratic and confusing.From FilmForce

And CBS wonders why their ratings are dropping. When The Reagans miniseries aires, their ratings should tank. I hope so.

Not how I'd put it, but I can't disagree, nor would a good number of Republicans.

I suspect Robbins' emphasis was on "conservatives," though, whereas I'd go heavy on "compassionate."

Dear Tim Robbins,

Come here and say that.

Your's truly,

Meyer

PS - same to you, buddy.
