Our government is yet again marching us towards a war of choice in the Middle East and our non-partisan, peace-loving celebrities have gone missing since late 2008. We fear the worst.

1. Sheryl Crow LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.” — Sheryl Crow

2. Bruce Springsteen LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.” — Bruce Springsteen

3. Martin Sheen Martin Sheen LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “But I am equally against the death penalty or war — anywhere people are sacrificed for some end justifying a means.” — Martin Sheen 4. Ed Asner Ed Asner LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “I also think that there is a strong streak of racism, and whenever we engage in foreign adventures. Our whole history in regime change has been of people of different color.” — Ed Asner 5. Sean Penn Sean Penn LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “I think we’re past that point in human evolution where there’s such a thing as winning wars.” — Sean Penn 6. Tim Robbins Tim Robbins LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “It is very inspiring and amusing how many people have come out in this genuine and spontaneous way to embrace peace and reject war. It reminds us there is a human and gentle spirit out there in this world.” — Tim Robbins 7. George Clooney George Clooney LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “You can’t beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people revenge-seeking.” — George Clooney 8. Jackson Browne Jackson Browne LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “American people always have to be tricked into going to war, they always have to be cajoled. I mean, there’s a long history of being lied to, of having things described in a particular way, in order to get them out of their sort of isolationist… prosperity mode and go to war.” — Jackson Brown 9. Janeane Garofalo Janeane Garofalo LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “War is failure! When you are at war, you have failed!” — Janeane Garofalo 10. Neil Young Neil Young LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “I don’t like war. I particularly don’t like the celebration of war.” — Neil Young 11. Jessica Lange Jessica Lange LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “Let’s talk for a minute about these masters of war, these same men that are sending our sons and our daughters, our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers to fight an undeclared and unconstitutional and unwinnable war for them.” — Jessica Lange 12. Barbra Streisand Barbra Streisand LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “You know, really good artists have a way of being relevant in their time — but great artists are relevant at any time. So, in the words of William Shakespeare, ‘Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.” — Barbra Streisand 13. Danny Glover Danny Glover LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “The world has come together and said ‘no’ to this war – and we must stand with them.” — Danny Glover 14. Susan Sarandon Susan Sarandon LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION: “Let us resist this war. Let us hate war in all its forms, whether the weapon used is a missile or an airplane.” — Susan Sarandon The only explanation for their continued silence must be a large, organized kidnapping. To whoever is responsible for their disappearance, please post pictures of them holding a recent newspaper so we know they’re okay. Maybe one of these:

i copied and pasted the rest of the list and it turned very craptastic. as you can tell

[rktman]

War, what is it good for? Same can be applied to “the boss”. Rages against the system but capitalism sure seems to have done him some good. Same can be said for “one sheet” sheryl.

Drama queens, all.

"...we fear the worst..."

Jeez.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I almost died laughing a couple days ago when I saw Obama say:

And for those who want a diplomatic solution - well, we tried that.

[Third Person]

Buzzfeed has realized that liberal hypocrisy provides an abundance of comic material.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Too good not to fix.

[rlmorel]

Wow. I thought she had been deceased for years.

[Chode]

i wish...

[barmag25]

I got a good laugh out of this list. I can almost remember seeing every single one of these idiots on tv whining a few years ago.

[GeronL]

Those people are not anti-war. Those people LOVE the communist warlords.

[barmag25]

yes it was, Thanks for the help.

[Vince Ferrer]

Are the Twitter feeds burning up? Ordinarily you can’t get an out of work liberal celebrity to get off Twitter.

[rlmorel]

Of course, it could be just coincidental that they all all keeping their yaps shut because they wish that someone like Barak Obama (one of them) would exercise absolute power.

How they love their dictators.

[barmag25]

Those people LOVE the communist warlords.

exactly

[Tijeras_Slim]

No biggie, thanks for posting it.

In Neil Young's defense:

He was a supporter of Reagan and wrote "Let's Roll" in praise of the brave citizens aboard Flight 93.

Not long after that he had an aneurysm.

It was not until they cut out part of his brain that he became a liberal.
