Where's the BARF alert on this?

[ladyinred]

Something is happening now that is very dark and very sinister in this country,

Ah, then just shut up.

[Drango]

Effective immediately... everyone must buy a Dixie Chick CD, watch a Sean Penn movie and subscribe to MCI.

[McGavin999]

Tell it to Dr. Laura you morons.

[vikingchick]

My apologies....a belated "Barf Alert" will commence immediately!

[Psycho_Bunny]

Hey Danny, why don't you just try sticking to acting, you dolt.

"“The whole idea is to crush any kind of dissent,” "

"Crush" might be a little harsh, but I would certainly like my ideas to prevail over leftist ideas. I would prefer that my opinions be so overwhelmingly recieved that no one pays attention to what Mr. Glover says.

Mr. Glover should use his media space to explain his pronouncements, take advantage of the opportunity to tell us why he is right.

Come to think of it I like that word "crush".

On May 8, the public interest group Judicial Watch called for the MCI boycott,.....

Looks like the lawsuit pickin's are slim for ol' Larry when it comes to the Bush Administration.

Yes, Congress must pass a Glover/Sarandon/Robbins/Penn [GSRP] tax to be utilized in subsidizing these great artists' works so they can say and do anything they want, and yet suffer no financial consequences, ever.

“The whole idea is to crush any kind of dissent..."

No, it is NOT. You spoke. I listened. I disagreed. I will not sign up with MCI. Get it?

Celebrities feeling muzzled for speaking out on issues.

Fans feeling muzzled for speaking out on celebrities.

My father told MCI telemarketers the reason he dropped MCI long distance at the office was because of Danny Glover. In reality he wasn't even using the monthly minimum, because he had started using his Sprint cell phone for all long distance calls. But it still was nice to make MCI take notice of who they hired to make their ads.

“The whole idea is to crush any kind of dissent,” he said.

Glover must be referring to his hero, the executioner and oppressor of Black Cubans, Fidel Castro.

[vikingchick]

HI! Long time.....

[saint]

Glover replied, “This is much larger than me. It’s larger than my comments, and my signing a letter supporting Cuba’s right to self-determination.

There's the lie. Glover and his ilk know darn well that self-determination for Cuba is not an option under a tyrant like Fidel. Nothing less than Castro-determination will be tolerated.

And that's the same thing the Gloverites want for their detractors here.

What I don't understand is why Glover and friends don't just pack up and move to their beloved Cuba. They obviously hate what America stands for.

I have no doubt that if Castro were to run against Bush for President here, the tyrant Fidel would get the Hollywood vote.

Let's all call and email the Times-Reporter and demand that Sonya Ross be FIRED!

Scared ya, didn't I Sonya, you idiot?

[Publius6961]

They can only muzzle themselves.
Or Not.

It's their choice, just as it is my choice to ignore their movies or any product they endorse.
Shoot your ignorant mouth off and take the consequences.
Keep it shut and enjoy the illusion that you have any intelligence to share.

Oh, wait, Sonya writes for the AP. The Times-Reporter is just sympathetic to The Cause.
