War party: Debating Iraq at Ozzy's

Elizabeth Taylor and Justin Timberlake were the guests of honor at a benefit Elton John gave with Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Wednesday night in L.A. But the names of two other well-known people were on everybody's lips: Bush and Saddam.

"We all discussed whether to move forward with this event tonight," Sharon told the crowd, which had gathered in the garden of her Beverly Hills home to support Elton's AIDS foundation and her own colon-cancer charity.

"We decided to continue because, war or no war, we are all fighting the war against AIDS and cancer," she went on. "At the same time, we should all say a big prayer for the American and British men and women who are risking their lives."

Taylor, who got a twinkly pinky ring from Elton, had to leave early because of a stomach virus - but not before saying exactly what she thought of the war.

"The thought sickens me beyond belief," she told us. "I was a refugee when I came to this country because of World War II. I listened to the radio all the time and thought, 'Why don't the Americans do something?' Now I think, 'What the [bleep] are the Americans doing by saying [to Saddam], 'Pack up your bags, mount a camel and get out of town!' What if someone said that to Bush?

"You don't think [terrorists] are going to retaliate? You don't think they're going to bomb the s--- out of us? It's going to be terrifying."

Tony Bennett, who performed, also recalled "the horror" he saw as an infantryman in WWII.

"That was a good war - it had to be done," he told us. "This isn't a good war. If the whole army isn't together, we're not going to win. I'm hurt by what's happening in this country."

Sly Stallone, there with wife Jennifer Flavin, showed none of Rambo's enthusiasm for battle.

"I've been on the fence about it," he said. "It's the first time America has gone after someone as a protective move. But I believe we have righteousness on our side."

Elton, who sported a diamond peace symbol on his lapel, said, "I'm not for the war. I love America. [But] you can't say you're against the war without being called a traitor. Now that the decision has been made, we have to hope that it will be quick."

Sharon Osbourne, feeling weak from a chemotherapy treatment, almost didn't make it down from her bedroom to mingle with the guests.

"I told her if she comes down those stairs, I'm going to chase her back up," Elton said.

She defied him, looking fantastic in a low-cut black gown.

"Sharon, I [bleeping] adore you," said Elton, forgiving her. He even confided that "My drag name is Sharon. So you get two Sharons for the price of one."

Tony WHO?

[Moose4]

I'd love to hear somebody ask Ozzy and his one remaining brain cell about the geopolitics of this war, and just let him rip. He'd be more entertaining than any network analyst and probably smarter than most of the other liberal celidiots.

It's so nice that our Hollow-wood elite are so supportive of dictators and their suppression of peoples. (end sarcasm)

[samtheman]

"You don't think [terrorists] are going to retaliate? You don't think they're going to bomb the s--- out of us? It's going to be terrifying."

And that's what it gets down to. Absolute personal fear. Capitulation and appeasement out of sheer panty-stinking fear. What losers. What pathetic cowards.

[The Red Zone]

The only supportive comment Dubya gets, is a lukewarm one from "Rambo." Disgusting.

[RushLake]

"I was a refugee when I came to this country because of World War II. I listened to the radio all the time and thought, 'Why don't the Americans do something?'"

She came to this country in 1938 to make "National Velvet", it wasn't like she was some refugee fleeing with the clothes on her hateful back. As to her other question, Liz you brain dead drunken has been, leave that analysis to Brits who are better equipped mentally to deal with it. That would not be "Sharon" John.

[so_real]

If you look up the word "coward" in the dictionary ...

[logan five]

absoulutely right on....

the central concept that comes throught all their "explanations" and "rationalizations" is as you say, absolute, personal fear...

[Far Right Of Left]

My God,the word "star" is being used very loosely lately regarding these Hollywierd,peacenic,POS! I'm really trying to think of ONE so-called "star",someone whose career wasn't over a decade or more ago....

[M-cubed]

Doesnt Korea have a missile that has the capacity of reaching the west coast?...Id make sure our future "diplomacy" allows then to keep that footprint and nothing more!

Just in case you need these lists I posted above. I've been doing a running tally. Plus I've done the same thing for French/German products to boycott if you need those lists.

[new cruelty]

wow, you are a busy bee. thanks for the lists.

[FourPeas]

FYI, Michael Medved is Jewish.

[JudyB1938]

Thanks a lot, FourPeas, for that correction !!!!

NC: All I've done is compile information that FReepers have been posting. They are the ones to be given the credit. FReepers are the greatest!

I especially like this comment by SolutionsOnly:

Too many people have twisted the meaning 'Freedom of Speech' to 'Freedom from Accountabilty'.

"At the same time, we should all say a big prayer for the American and British men and women who are risking their lives."

Sharon has class ---I wonder how the Osbournes can stand to be around all these tacky people. I guess they're kind of forced by where they live and all that.
