Well, at least looney Clooney got one thing right. Being liberal is bad. I'm glad he at least recognizes that.
"I don't know at what time in history liberals have stood on the wrong side of social issues,"
Well, Georgie- Boy, there was that silly little Bolshevik Revolution over in Russia, which introduced a system of government to that country which endorsed the imprisonment and execution of millions of innocent civilians who disagreed with Communist ideology in one way or another. If Marx and Lenin weren't liberals, then I'm a monkey's uncle.
The only George Clooney film I've seen which was even remotely good or entertaining was "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Further proof that any cluster f in human history can ultimately be traced back to the French.
Why don't you drop "liberal" and start using the word "progressive" instead? snicker
And the bit about sitting in the front of the bus, does this cretin not know that it was dims who were pro slavery and dims that fought against passage of the Civil Rights Act back in the 60s (dims like goron's father and the toon's mentor, Fulbright?). Oh, wait, he's a liberal - for them, history starts the day they were born.
"Strip bombing?" And what about the "Dominoe Theory"? Did Laos and Cambodia count?
George....you're no true liberal, you don't really believe in freedom at all.

Before everyone gets a knee-jerk reaction to the word "liberal," remember that different people have meanings for that, as they do "Democrat." In fact, there was a guy on Hannity a while ago, a life-long Democrat who usually talks and votes Republican. Why? He believes in what the Democratic party used to stand for, hoping it will stand for that again, and the parties have moved so much to the left that the Republican party is closer to his beliefs than the Democrat.
Well, if the commies hadn't of stole it...
De morituris nil nisi bonum
A-ha!
Very nice reply. Well thought out and correct .
Maybe someone should show it to George.
George Clooney is totally clueless.These HWood celebs ought to stick to acting.
Liberal is as liberal does...
In his case; both fit.
Who's George Clooney?
No, Buffoon E, Clooney, you're just *tired*.
*We're* tired.
We're tired of of *you*.
Your whole "act" is *tired*.
You are still a traitor.
You are still a buffoon with an ACME Movie Director Kit.
Still Spouting your socialist, leftist,
"progressive"ly degenerate "Liberal' crap lies
you've been fed all your life by your Socialst
crap liberal parents, and all their "bohemian"
deviate drunken drug addict "elite thinkers".
You're still garbage...Just like all of them
The modern-day liberals or Democrats like Clooney are the ones who have made liberal or Democrat a dirty word. Even if I strongly disagreed with them politically and economically, to the extreme of being polar opposites, I could at least respect the old-line Democrats who believed in a tough foreign policy and believed in standing up to our enemies and who weren't social libertines and, more than anything, weren't hesitant to show their sincere love for this country and who understood America's role in the world. Earth to Clooney: That ain't today's liberals and Democrats. Today's bunch aren't worthy of respect, they'd have been suing Tojo for peace on 12/8/41 ... FDR will have much to answer for at the White Throne for what he foisted on this country in the 1930s, crap that we're still dealing with the ramifications of today, but I make no apologies for respecting him as a wartime leader at least pre-Yalta, and his "Day of Infamy" speech gets my blood circulating every time I hear it ... and it seems like their entire mindset is that the U.S. is nothing more or less than the country between the United Republic of Tanzania and Uruguay on the U.N. roster. The liberals and Democrats of the past have to be spinning in their graves at what their party has become, the receptacle for all the flotsam and jetsam within the borders of the U.S.
Like a lot of people, I no longer have a land-line, prefering to use cell phones and a cable modem. I was recently asked to participate in an Arbitron ratings poll, where I would use my phone to call in my radio choices. When it was learned that I had only a cell phone, (they could tell from my number), they told me I couldn't participate. This seems to exclude a significant demographic that may be more conservative than the general public that stays home all day with land lines. Other polls, like some presidential approval polls, seem to use phone polling. This must be skewing the answers.
