ENTIRE SPEECH: http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32088
DFU comments -- Three years ago, Tim Robbins was disinvited from speaking at the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. Neither the Bush Adminstration nor any Republican group in Congress did anything to try to prevent that speech. As we await the showing of THE PATH TO 911, we see a former president and the highest levels of the Democratic Party threatening legal and legislative action against ABC if a movie is shown.
Does everyone now realize what would happen if Hillary got back into the White House? Or how about the danger if the Dems take back control of Congress? Free speech is fine for them. They want to shut down ours. That is an inconvenient truth.
==========================
Tim Robbins National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on April 15, 2003.
PERHAPS THE MOST QUOTED EXCERPT:
"A chill wind is blowing in this nation. A message is being sent through the White House and its allies in talk radio and Clear Channel and Cooperstown. If you oppose this administration, there can and will be ramifications."
==========================
No, folks. The chill wind is coming from only one direction -- the left side of the political aisle. They are really afraid of a movie that threatens to awaken those who were asleep as to what Clinton really did and failed to do. The Clinton legacy is poised to go straight down the crapper where it belongs. Their party is in absolute panic. Especially Hillary.
More like hot air from blowhards like Tim Robbins. YOU ARE AN ACTOR. SHUT UP AND READ LINES.
"Let me explain to you how this works. You see, the corporations finance Team America. And then Team America goes out and the corporations sit there in their, ih in their corporation buildings and, and and see that's, they're all corporationy, and they make money."
Heavens no!......and......Heavens yes!
It parodies Republicans, right-wingers, Christians, etc. via a faux-documentary style presentation.
See my #17.
My take on it is that todays liberal, tim robbins included, has a hick-a-phobic streak that I find very unpalatable.
I have actually met Tim Robbins. He is a moron man-child, under the thrall of his nightmare common-law wife, Susan Sarandan.
It's the reason why liberals love Tucker Carlson.
It's the reason we love Allen Colmes.
Bob Roberts is shot in the movie.
Bob Roberts does Bob Dylan.

I've spoken to people who are afraid to go into the heartland...
Pretty funny! Bonus for me: Awesome Enslaved video for "Path To Venir" on the recommendation panel.
I think Tim played himself in "War of the Worlds."
It came out in 1992. What's sad is that Robbins' 'Dead Man Walking' is generally superb. He's a better film maker then he is an actor.
Allow me to expand a bit:
Uses the word "corporation" with the same disdain and disgust 1990s Iraqi Kurds held for Saddam.
Does that fingers-in-the-air quote thing whenever speaking the word God.
Will gleefully provide a story about their first trip to Amsterdam.
Will jump through any liberal leap of logic in order to end the sentence with the all absolving, "after all, who am I to judge"
Just my opinion, but I think you should see it . . . it's a funny movie. If you can, check it out from a public library. That way you're not supporting him with your money.
>>one can only watch Shawshank Redemption so many times...that time has come<<
Yeah, our prisons are full of gentle souls like Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.
Libraries pay under the Lending Act. Or something. It's not completely uncompensated.
That movie is ridiculously overrated.
You hit on a pet peeve of mine which is threatening to grow into a feral peeve.
Though don't forget the opposite is also true, there are many who are "urban-phobic" also a pet peeve.
I am still stunned at the dems Stalinist behavior and really, really hope this stunt of theirs is a major league backfire. Nothing would be more fitting and well deserved.
I agree. What is so great about it. I never really care for prison movies anyway. Who cares about convicts?
