"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?"
"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
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.
This alone demonstrates Mr. Clooney's ignorance. It was George Wallace, a DEMOCRAT, that stood in the doorway of the University of Alabama, preventing blacks from attending classes. It was Ross Barnett, a DEMOCRAT, that did the same at the University of Mississippi. It was DEMOCRAT controlled governorships and legislatures all across the South that put Jim Crow laws on the books and did EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to keep the South segregated.
You want the wrong side of a social issue, Mr. Clooney. Start with that!
If George Clooney(Looney) is sick of liberal being a bad word then maybe he should try to get himself and the rest of his ilk to stop acting like idiots.
Hey, all you "liberal" guys, here's a secret: Stop telling everyone what to do all the time and stop taking everyone's money all the time and then maybe "liberal" wouldn't be a bad word anymore.
At the request of Susan B. Anthony, Sen. A.A. Sargent, a Republican from California, introduced the 19th Amendment in 1878. Sargent’s amendment (also known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment) was defeated four times by a Democrat-controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress in 1919, the Equal Suffrage Amendment finally passed the House in May of that year and in the Senate in June.
I wish we had an "Ann Coulter Rule" for Clooney. Sigh.
