Wherever you come down on the war or whatever your politics - banning an event celebrating a movie because of the actors’ opinions is just absurd. It's the sort of thing the left perpetrates on college campuses. I thought conservatives had moved past that sort of thing.

The Hall of Fame didn't cancel the event because of Robbins' political views -- they cancelled the event because they didn't want to alienate 80% of their potential visitors.

we have the same right they have, if we don't like their spewing vomit every time they open their mouth, we have the right to turn our backs on they vomit.

Petroskey did not "ban" anything. He said "They're not using our money for this." If Sarandon and Robbins and their ilk care to hold to "15th Anniversary celebration of Bull Durham" in Cooperstown - and if they do, I guarantee you it will be a Bush-hate fest more than it is a talk about the movie - they can do it on their own time with their own funds.

We are all human. When Americans arer dying in battle we don't have to listen to their BS. They didn't "ban" the event, they simply cancelled it, and that IS their right, don't you get that? That is not like what happens on college campuses. Free speech doesn't exist anymore on those campuses, sad but true.

The Hall of Fame is just excercizing their FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION. Just as Robbins chooses to say what he says, they also have the right to choose who they feature at an event. It just so happens that it is currently bad business to give this clown a microphone, The Hall of Fame is staying out of the business of politics by not giving him a forum. Kudos to the Hall of Fame!

Shove it up down your piehole! These folks are at least seditious.
