Maggie Gyllenhaal Tackles 9/11 Politics (msn whine for otherwise unknown "blame America" actress)
msn.com ^ | Apr 26, 2005 | Associated Press

Maggie Gyllenhaal has waded into sensitive political waters by raising questions about Sept. 11 and American foreign policy.

The 27-year-old actress, who stars in a new film about the 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, said in an interview last week that the United States "is responsible in some way" for the attacks.

Well I'll try to make a civilized reply to your post.

"Freedom of speech" guarantees she won't be prosecuted for the crime of speaking. That's a good thing, and I support it. I'm sure you do too.

"Freedom of speech" doesn't guarantee that she'll be free from criticism. I can call her stupid, and other can do the same. Non-celebrities also have freedom to speak our opinions. You do too (though maybe not on this forum).

I hope that helps clarify the issue.

I guess you support Ms. Gyllenhaal or her blame-America comments -- I'm sorry to hear that.

Trolls: Here today, zapped long before tomorrow.

BTW "Buckwild03", even as a Canadian, I find your callousness when it comes to the murder of almost 3,000 of your fellow citizens appalling and beneath contempt.

B'bye braindead commie troll.

"what happened to freedom of speech?"

And you people always say you're the intelligent party. Do you really believe that "freedom of speech" has anything to do with this conversation? You do know that relates to the government, don't you? Is the government involved here?

Evidently, the late "Buckwild03" indicated he was "feelin' lucky".
Oh well, "sic semper trollia".

Did she ever specify how the US was responsible?

As yet another minor red cadre in Hollywood, she hardly merits any in-depth research as to the exact particulars of her misguided views, but seemingly she just danced around a rationale. Either because she's too stupid to get beyond the braindead "blame Bush" level or smart enough to pay her crypto-radical dues without leaving herself too wide open to, or worthy of, a more substantial backlash.

I only inadvertently stumbled across the piece and though "hey, people like to know about vile stuff like this when deciding how to spend their entertainment dollars". Hopefully it comes back to haunt her at some point!

Reason #1245 why I hate the press:

Refusal to ask legitimate follow up questions. What specific actions did the US perform which made it responsible for 911?

Asking follow up questions tends to clarify things and thus often leads to accountability which, as we both well know, the left shuns in much the same way and for the same reason that vampires avoid sunshine.
