Sure, it was just an acceptance speech at some silly awards ceremony. However, when Hollywoodans say ridiculous things on television that media applaud along with the Hollywoodans in attendance, someone's got to point out the inanity.

As such, when Sally Field said at Sunday's Emmy awards ceremony as reported by the MRC's Tim Graham, "And, let's face it, if the mothers ruled the war, there would be no (expletive) wars in the first place," I can't sit idly by without contesting such nonsense.

After all, it appears Field has never heard of some famous female leaders who brought their nation's to war:

Hollywood synonymous with stupidty

I beg to differ with Sally. Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.

[Alouette]

Isn’t she the one who gurgled “You like me! You really like me!” at the Academy awards?

Every time a holly-wierdo opens their mouth, all I hear is blah, blah, blah.

[TexasCajun]

Just shutup & act Sally.

"And, let's face it, if the mothers ruled the war, there would be no (expletive) wars in the first place,"

She said G. D. . . .

Not that I watched her show before, but now, I certainly won’t, ever.

How ‘bout just shut up Sally.

Islamic mothers are proud of their little martyrs. They send them into battle.

If Sally was bright enough to have smart people around her to do damage control for her idiotic statement she would issue an apology within 24 hours.

WHY, First because she was WRONG, second, she used the Lord’s name in vain.

The problem is she is a typical hollyweird idiot who probably isn’t sorry, doesn’t realize she was wrong, and even if she did she would not apologize to America.

“Hell hath no fury like that of a woman”

Period. :)

[Squidpup]

maybe she meant “mothers” like “nuns”. ;op

[Domandred]

Not to mention that women tend to hold grudges longer then men, and over smaller things.

[Ancient Drive]

“But every 28 days there would be real heavy negotiating. - Robin Williams”

that is solid gold. lmao

Bouddica, Cleopatra, Zenobia of Palmyra. The Dowager Empress of the Manchus and the Boxer Rebellion. And Queen Victoria presided over quite a few as well.

How ‘bout just shut up Sally.

Or as Clapton sings, lay down sally.

[MrB]

If we had leaders with her attitude, the world would be enslaved to those who would use aggressive force to get their way.

"And, let's face it, if the mothers ruled the war, there would be no (expletive) wars in the first place

Yeah and there would be no foul language either.

[2banana]

Hmmm - but mothers like her will kill their unborn baby without even an after thought and sleep well at night...seems to me the same kind of people that would order troops into war without an after thought too...

Sally could stand to crack a history book or two. She might start with Catherine the Great, Maria Theresa, and Elizabeth I.
