Comedienne-turned-peace activist Janeane Garofalo offered a stunning admission on Sunday, explaining that she and her fellow anti-war protesters didn't stage huge demonstrations when President Clinton launched attacks on Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan and the Sudan because "it wasn't very hip" to protest the former president.
Asked by "Fox News Sunday's" Tony Snow why peace protesters like herself didn't object to Clinton's wars, Garofalo explained:
"I absolutely did. I did not support Operation Desert Fox. It's just that you didn't know me very well back then. Nobody really was interested in listening to me back then."
Then she added, by way of explaining why the anti-Clinton protests never gelled, "It wasn't very hip."
Garofalo went on to claim that Hollywood actors Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins led protests against Clinton's 1998 Iraq attack, saying that "there was a lot of protest, just as there was against the first Gulf War."
A Lexis-Nexis search for Dec. 1998, the month Clinton bombed the daylights out of Baghdad, failed to turn up a single report that mentioned either Sarandon or Robbins protesting the attacks.
A similar search for the month of Feb. 2003 turned up 124 reports on Sarandon protesting President Bush's Iraq policy.
It's important to have these Hollywood left-wing buttmunchers on the air, especially babbling their nonsense in a real forum such as FOX News, instead of them making underhanded soundbites and they scurry back under their rocks, so the rest of the America can see how absolutely retarded they are.
I've got news for her! I don't know who she is now either! That aside, this is what I have been complaining about all along. This is all about Bush, not the war. This moron just unwittingly admitted it.
Yep...a Google search didn't turn up protests of THAT by Sarandon or Gofoalio (whater her name is) either.
She went further than that : she entertained our troops in Kosovo via the USO.
we need that infamous pic of her in the T-Shirt, with the slogan reading 'CLINTON'S Wars Were HIP!'
We've got them on the run.
And for what it's worth, having been in the hip and knowing what it means to be there, FreeRepublic.com is what's hip for this generation.
take it from one who knows.....
Bob Dylan sang a verse for these "stars" "... who don't know what it is to begin with..."
You'll have to find one first!

The population of Iraq alone is 24 million.
