Color Natalie Apologetic
New York Post ^ | December 12, 2004

Posted on 12/12/2004 1:06:20 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

NATALIE Portman has apologized for a quote in Allure magazine she says was taken out of context. "I'm not black, but I know what it feels like." The magazine got a flood of reader mail blasting Portman's insensitivity. Now she's backtracked. "If I had spoken more articulately, I might have conveyed what I truly feel," Portman writes. "I could never know what it is like to be a black American ...

She's a far leftist who supported "Israel's great friend" John Kerry.

In America it's normal for liberals to "cross the street" to support Israel, just as it's normal for "palaeoconservatives" to "cross the street" to support the PLO. But they're both crazy regardless.

Please point out Natalie Portman's anti-American activities?

No bust against any pro-American Natalies intended. My sentence may have been worded better...

If that's the criteria then since almost half of the electorate voted for Kerry that must mean a commensurate percentage of the country is anti-American? If so we are in a lot of trouble.

If you feel that way, what are you doing at Free Republic? This is a conservative forum, not a forum for liberals who for whatever reason just happen to support Israel.

I get the distinct impression that you would not greet the rebuilt Third Temple with enthusiasm.

Quite the contrary. But dp you think that anything less then thinking that half the country is actively anti-American is not conservative? That's chilling. I'm quite comfortable in my conservatism thanks.

What part of "typical across-the-board airheaded Hollywood lefty" don't you understand?

I'm sorry, but "support of Israel" by such people is an embarrassment.

Well she was born there, claims support for the country, and from what I understand spends a fair amount of time there. I would call that support. Again, if we expect 100% confluence on every single issue we're sunk. But I respect your right to think so even though I disagree. :-)

Not at all. A vocal and staunch supporter of President Bush. Being born in Israel may have something to do with her position.

Woke up this afternoon
Both cars were gone
Woke up this afternoon
Lord Mommie!
Both cars were gone
I felt so low down deep inside
I threw my drink across the lawn!

It's really embarassing it has taken this long for a picture to show up.

I mean, come on people!

...if she had a 15xx AFSC.

Weather officer? Heh... I've got a few friends who are weather officers, but I honestly haven't seen a single Wx officer in at least 6 months - and I'm in the Ops Group.

I think they're all stationed at Scott, MacDill or Ramstein.

<< He wasn't a dummy either.

He was caught, wasn't he?

I rest my case. >>

He lived in primitive squalor in a slab hut and mailed bombs about the place for the purpose of murdering people.

I rest mine.

I can resist this: Maybe she does know what a black feels like. Lots of white women like black men.:)

Nope. Back in the brown-shoe days, or at least back when people still knew what 'brown-shoe days' meant, 15xx was the AFSC for Navs and EWs.
