Eerie Silence in Hollywood as Anti-War Stars Vanish

They are all COWARDS. They want to jump on the antiwar bandwagon as it seems cool and all their friends are doing it. Then they are shocked to learn that the buying public also has a voice in America. The left sickens me with their Hypocrasy. They say they don't have a right to speak and are appearing on national television to say it. They have complete disdain for the audience.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Garofalo...told the Washington Post last week that her anti-war stance had been a "positive" experience that had helped her career.

Let's be honest Janeane...this is probably the only reason you opened your big yap in the first place, isn't it? Played the media for your own purposes.

[winner3000]

One of us should be watching to tell us who is sponsoring the show. Boycott away!

[cynicom]

Typical socialists, when their bleating is not accepted as the gospel, they retreat and become "victims".

They live in a world of make believe, spout words written by others, never do they have to use their own brains.

[F16Fighter]

Garofalo, working hard on her upcoming ABC sitcom, did not respond to interview requests for this story. But she told the Washington Post last week that her anti-war stance had been a "positive" experience that had helped her career.

The MINUTE Freepers get the official word that Leftist troll Janeane Garofalo's ABC show is definitely being aired should be the minute we flood the sponsors with complaints.

"Sheen's publicist said the man who plays president on "The West Wing" was "not talking to anybody right now." "

He was certainly willing to run his mouth when he could bash President Bush. Hmmm, what has changed?

Could it be that nothing would come out but 'crow feathers'?

[winner3000]

(Farrell said that the ability of U.S. troops to topple Saddam Hussein's regime in relatively short order has not softened his opposition to the war. )

Neither did findings of atrocities change his mind. He is so anti-Bush that he doesn't realize he's coming across as a heartless a-hole. Spinking the ball? Doesn't that imply he was cheering against us winning the war? How many dead US soldiers was he praying for?

[The_Pickle]

"There was a well-orchestrated campaign ... through hate radio...

How come when they speak out its "free speech" and when anyone has the audacity to disagree with them its "hate radio"?

Could it just be that their idea of "free speech" it just a "wee" bit different than most peoples?

"Free Speech for me and None for Thee" seems to be the battle cry de' jour.

Yes the French was intentional.!

"One of us should be watching to tell us who is sponsoring the show. Boycott away!"

Good point, but don't watch the first episode. The ratings for the first episode will be the ones the leftist rags will be watching for with bated breath. We need a Neilson rating of 2% for the little sleaze.

The only reason she's 'almost famous' after the leftist rags gave her so much press for her venomous verbal vomitings is as an object of public ridicule. She apparently hasn't gotten the message. Not enough of Hollywood has gotten the message. Besides, Garafolo reneged on her promise to apologize to the president if she turned out to be wrong. Apparently it's 'hip' to break one's promises now. At least if you've proclaimed yourself intellectually elite.

[The Great RJ]

With the new revelations that Iraq did have ties to al Quada and the finding of WMD, not to mention the grim photos of Iraqi torture chambers, these guys have more than egg on their collective faces.

[Sam Cree]

"you're with us or with the terrorists"

I have noticed the Left has taken this quote to try and make a case that Bush is a totalitarian.

The obvious truth, however, is that W is right, there are just some issues on which there is no middle ground.

For instance, whether they admit it or not, those who pretended to be "anti war" were fighting for Saddam, if they'd had their way, he would continue in power, a threat to the world and to the U.S."

[Let's Roll]

They may live in a dream world but their agents and business managers don't.

[nicmarlo]

"But the Dixie Chicks are back on the air and their record is number one again," he said.

Just because you say it's so doesn't make it so, Mike Ferrell, you liar.

Casey Kasem, top Country 50: Blixie Chicks not on any list

---

The point of my above exercise is to, once again, show how LIBERALS LIE. There is no number 1 song for the Blixies, for weeks. Mike Ferrell is disingenuine, at the very least, to state that the Blixies have been unaffected by what they've done; merely citing the fact that on last week's charts, their CD was number one misrepresents the severe backlash against them----as well represented by the fact that they have dropped off the charts on one Billboard, slid down to 33 on another, and do not appear on Casey Kasem's charts, at all.

Also, notice Darryl Worley and Toby Keith have risen above the Blixie Chicks, not only on ALBUM PURCHASES, but also singles/most requested songs.

[Sam Cree]

This is so aggravating.

No one, no one is stopping them from saying anything they want. Do they think we should be forced to watch their shows?

Hearing them talk about our free speech is chilling, I don't believe Hollywood believes dissent should be allowed against their statements.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Does the anti war Hollywood crowd realize that North Korea is developing the Taepo Dong-2,which will be capable of reaching Alaska, Hawaii and possibly California ?? When the "oh so smart" Hollywood leftist crowd,is sunning themselves in their private cabanas at the Four Seasons or Grand Wailea on Maui,does it ever occur to them,that they could be in the target area of a nuclear warhead? Does it concern them that Beverly Hills may also be in the flight path ? Do they realize that their beloved Bill made all this possible ? Will they remain anti war or start screeching for President Bush to neutralize North Korea ?? We shall see how anti war they really are, when their backyard is North Korea's testing ground.

[Paulus Invictus]

Keep in mind that Klintoon actually lost the (nuclear) football and had nothing at all to celebrate unless it was his escape (thanks to the RATS in the Senate) from conviction during the impeachment.

[FierceDraka]

"There was a well-orchestrated campaign to do that through hate radio and Web sites and voices that sprang from the (Bush) administration and said 'take your choice, you're with us or with the terrorists," [Farrell] said.

Those fools just don't get it, do they? He makes it sound as if we (the majority of Americans) have been taking our marching orders straight from the White House.

Far from it! We've been rising up against this celebrity bullsh*t purely of our own volition - the way Americans have always done.

Unlike the opposition, we don't take our cues from any "Central Committee" or "Party Secretary". We make individual decisions to act in what we see to be our own individual best interest.

And what Farrell calls "hate" is what we call common sense, thank you very much.

A pox on him and his Stalinist masters.

[SSN558]

"These people don't realize that the AMERICAN people don't want to support their views."

The Hollyweird morons still might find a sympathic audience in France, but with the Baath party dismembered record and movie sales are going to slip. Of course they are silent, thousands who do not support their views are going to feel the pinch when the entertainment industry has a bad year.

[Ichneumon]

Farrell said that the ability of U.S. troops to topple Saddam Hussein's regime in relatively short order has not softened his opposition to the war. "An illegal war is an illegal war no matter what the result. We'll never know now what could have been achieved through peaceful means."

Horse manure, Farrell -- we know *exactly* what "could have been achieved through peaceful means", because peaceful means were tried for twelve long years. And they achieved nothing except more tyranny, terrorism, suffering, and lawlessness.

[what's up]

"Garofalo, working hard on her upcoming ABC sitcom, did not respond to interview requests for this story. But she told the Washington Post last week that her anti-war stance had been a "positive" experience that had helped her career."

Isn't she the one who didn't want to be known as a "celebrity"?
