From the Dixie Chicks and Martin Sheen to Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, stars who speak out against President Bush and the war in Iraq are seeing repercussions.

"There's a piling on, and we're isolating people. That's just wrong," says Kevin Costner, standing up for "courageous" Bull Durham co-stars Sarandon and Robbins.

Keep their feet to the fire.

[Jim Noble]

Shock and awe in Hollywood.

It smells like....victory.

Says Sarandon, "It's so ironic that we should be quote unquote liberating another country and giving them a democracy when we're telling people here if they open their mouths, they're not allowed to participate."

Says one of the celebrity participants of the Stop Dr. Laura movement. What an abject hypocrite.

Says Sarandon, "It's so ironic that we should be quote unquote liberating another country and giving them a democracy when we're telling people here if they open their mouths, they're not allowed to participate."

You're allowed to participate. But it comes with the responsibility of knowing what you're talking about, Mzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Sarandon.

[P.O.E.]

"It's so ironic that we should be quote unquote liberating another country and giving them a democracy when we're telling people here if they open their mouths, they're not allowed to participate."

With less time spent working, she'll have more time to "participate".

[Joe Brower]

"There's a piling on, and we're isolating people."

Translation: "Us lefties shot our stupid mouths off and now we're getting bitch-slapped for it."

My heart bleeds.

Lavigne's young, hip audience

I didn't know that "young, hip," was a synonym for tone-deaf.

[princess leah]

Susan Sarandon Playing in a fitting role "Survival at the South Pole" Well, SHE certainly has polarized herSELF!

Ice Bound: A Woman's Survival at the South Pole.

How about DumbFound - Or Who Dumb It Was for Susan Sarandon to be restored from statuary in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. They shudda just let petrified dogs lie...

[TLBSHOW]

BUMP

[Cyber Liberty]

I fear the opposite: a lack of piling on. These bozos worked hard to come by their contempt, so we're doing a public service.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

As if they didn't gleefully pile onto Trent Lott.

[lady lawyer]

They are free to say what they want. The rest of us are free to dislike them for it and act accordingly.

Says Sarandon, "It's so ironic that we should be quote unquote liberating another country and giving them a democracy when we're telling people here if they open their mouths, they're not allowed to participate."

Oh, the irony of it! Listen, Susie dear, your'e still allowed to "participate" just don't expect us to "play along" with you any more. It takes two to tango and you just lost your tango partner...the public for whom you perform. Morons.

[Lady Eileen]

..........V is for victory.

[Hildy]

Do you think LaVigne knows where Iraq is?

[MEG33]

Free speech and boycotting is only available to the left..at least they seem to think so.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Kevin Costner?

Didn't he used to make movies or something?
