Hollywood's George Clooney is making no apologies for being a political liberal.
"Yes, I'm a liberal and I'm sick of it being a bad word," the actor-director tells the Sunday Times of London.
"I don't know at what time in history liberals have stood on the wrong side of social issues. We thought that blacks should sit at the front of the bus, that women should be allowed to vote, that maybe McCarthy was a jerk, that Vietnam was wrong and strip-bombing Cambodia was probably stupid. We've been on the right side of all these issues."

Strip-bombing? Is that, like, a cross between strip-mining and carpet-bombing?
The golden age of Hollywood is long over. Mr. Clooney is exhibit A.
Liberals twist history horribly.
"We thought that blacks should sit at the front of the bus", Coony chortles.
Facts:
The Democrats held the blacks in slavery; the Republicans freed them.
The Democrats held the black people in segregation; the Republicans freed them.
The Democrats hold the blacks in today's ghettos; Republicans work to set them free.
Clooney again? Didn't he recently say (or imply) that he would be keeping a low profile about politics, or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
I think it's bombing while naked.
If one single Liberal would lose the emotional, self-induced hysteria they attach to EVERY issue, if one single Liberal would possess him/herself of the facts before shooting off his/her mouth, if one single Liberal would EVER disassociate him/herself from lame socialist dogma, if one single Liberal would EVER, EVEN ONCE demonstrate any respect for ALL Americans and not just pander to the half educated/ill educated crowd of free loaders they call their voter base... then maybe Liberal would not be a 'bad word'.
If the MSM would be truthful, they would call them scum of the earth. But the MSM can't do that without calling themselves scum of the earth also.
No George you need to get your history straight.It was the Conservatives that thought that blacks should sit any where on the bus that they liked.After all we thought they were humans not animals like your party makes them out to be..When you liberals can learn to tell the truth on matters then you will always be know as a dirty liberal to me..it is people like you that know nothing about American history or do know and want to twist it to suit your needs that make our country look bad..George do what you do best and stay away from politics..Remember the KKK George they are democrat and they are the ones that killed the blacks and burned crosses in their yards not the conservatives..
Clooney thinks "America" is a bad word!
Drudge observed last night he's the new Warren Beatty. What's Clooney's next movie - a remake of "Reds"???
"We thought that blacks should sit at the front of the bus, . . ."
Then WHY did the liberal Democrats vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, boy George?
I ceased watching TV a while back, other than an occasional football game or whatnot.
The polls are bought and paid for bogosities. Today, polls are used to manipulate public opinion, not glean any information. Too, as near as I can tell, for-public-consumption "news" primarily consists of blaming the president for the nation's ills, large and small? I have a grudging respect, in a machiavellian sense, for the organizational and staying-on-message capabilities of a myriad of agencies. "Never try to argue with the folks that buy ink by the railroad car.."
"Yes, I'm a liberal and I'm sick of it being a bad word,"
AWWWWWWW...poor thing, AWWWWWWW
Actually, 'liberal' is just another word for 'socialist or communist'.
IMO you shouldn't underestimate the influence of Clooney's films. They're indocrinating people.
It's time we had more films out there giving the conservative point of view. Conservatives like Steve Forbes, Wm. Buckley, etc. could put their money behind good films.
Because he spends much of his waking life surrounded by people telling him he's right.
He's bound to believe them eventually!
Applauding the post!!!!!
"I don't know at what time in history liberals have stood on the wrong side of social issues."
The correct answer is now, George. Gay marraige, christian bashing, abortian, etc..... people are voting on your stances NOW.
Earth to Clooney; You are not a liberal...you are a exceptionally DUMB LIBERAL.
