Hollywood Appeasers: Another "peace" coalition by a bunch of left-leaning celebs but with a twist

...they have formed a group called Artists United to Win Without War.

Would it be un-PC to suggest that we refer to them as 'Target-Rich Environment'? How about 'Big Bundle O'Traitors', available at Sam's Club?

Sorry if that sounds over the top. I don't have a problem with anti-war protests per se, but in this case I believe regime change is unquestionably necessary, and I believe that these wacko celebrities are using their fame to act like they know more about national security than our own leadership. Maybe if Clinton were in power they would be justified, but they seem to have forgotten that President Bush (with help from other countries, granted) liberated Afghanistan.

I'm too mad to type any more coherently, so I'll leave it at that.

The one skill you must have to be an actor is the ability to lie convincingly. Other than that, the job is lacking in skill.

Ask yourself the following question: What profession can a 10 year old master and receive critical acclaim for on a national stage?

Any 10 year old doctors at the top of their profession? Any 10 year old rocket scientist? Engineers? Journalist? Writers? Teachers? Garbage collectors? Fast food store managers? Waitresses? Nope. All those professions require skill.

Ten year old actors? Yes, when the only skill involved is the ability to lie convincingly is it any wonder these people looked up to Bill Clinton, democrats and other well known liars? How credible should actors be off the stage? Do their thought on war matter more than other citizens of their skill level?

Actors carry no more weight when it comes to their "feelings" about war than any other citizen. And a case can be made that excellent liars opinions should carry less weight.

She was wearing intellectual glasses and "acted" like she knew what she was talking about.

Right. The Banfield look. What every happened to her?

[EllaMinnow]

That was my first reaction, too - I can't give up "Law and Order: Criminal Intent."

Anything but that!

[Charlie OK]

Would you like to see Saddam Hussein overthrown?" the reporter asked.

"I don’t know what you mean," Sheen answered.

"Removed from power," said the reporter.

"I don’t even know what that means," Sheen said.

The undaunted reporter pressed on. "Regime change," he explained.

This is the exact reason why we conservatives should not support the movies these creeps make and their advertisers etc. It's time to boycott Hollywood and make our affect known!

Actors Mike Farrell, Matt Damon and Martin Sheen ...

Please, don't insult the Three Stooges that way.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

One of the actors is Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus).

How many plan on boycotting the next two Matrix movies?

[Dionysius]

Where are Charlie Sheen and Emelio Estevez? Daddy must be letting them off the tether.

[texasbluebell]

Pressed again as to the president’s motives, Sheen attributed them to mere family pride. "I think he’d like to hand his father Saddam Hussein’s head," Sheen said.

Don't these people read or listen to true experts? Why doesn't Sheen pick up a copy of Laurie Mylroie's book The War Against America: Saddam Hussein and the World Trade Center Attacks: A Study of Revenge?

She makes the case quite convincingly that Saddam is tied to the first WTC bombing as well as other terrorist attacks against us over the past few years.

Sheesh, Sheen, get a clue!

[texasbluebell]

And I find it interesting that during WWII, it seemed all of Hollywood jumped on board to do their part in the war effort. Carole Lombard even lost her life while on a war bonds tour.

And yet we have such exemplary characters there today who wouldn't lift a finger to help out the country that has been so good to them.

[headsonpikes]

"Geeze, and they claim Bush is dumb!"

Excellent point, actually.

Why would anyone give a rat's *ss what a freakin' ACTOR thinks about anything REAL?!?

Listen up, America! : These Hollywood people live in a fake world! FAKE!

They're not really Presidents and doctors and heroes and stuff...they're actors.

And mostly p*ss-poor ones, at that!

People. they're actors. It is to weep.

People were smarter in the past, I think. Once upon a time, actors were considered mad, and were shunned by decent folk. Those days sadly are behind us.

[nonliberal]

O'Reilly reported that Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford were asked to sign but refused.

[Dionysius]

When Farrell joined "MASH" the show jumped the shark. He was simply NOT FUNNY! The scripts descended into maudlin activism. Alda and Farrell became everyone's consciense (gag me!)and patriotism was held out to ridicule.

[Charlie OK]

Sheen did sound pretty presidential during the exchange with that reporter. Very Clintoonish if you ask me.

"It depends on what your definition of 'regime change' is..."

[xp38]

Going over the list...most are no surprise at all although some are. I watch so little boycotting them would be somewhat redundant for me.

[altura]

et tu, Chester. Did you learn nothing from Marshall Dillon?

[texasbluebell]

Martin Sheen? Excuse me but , wasn't it he that referred to our President as a "white knuckled drunk"?

I'll never forget that he did that. And funny, but I think Sheen is actually the white-knuckled drunk.
