Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah

Herald Sun ^ | 17 August 2006

[Aussie Dasher]

NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.

The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.

It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.

"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.

"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.

"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."

A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.

The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.

Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.

Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

...

Making Saladin into some "noble statesman of yore" instead of the Butcher of Jerusalem is beyond the pale....

Perhaps you should complain to the authors of the Song of Roland or legends of Charlemagne in which Saladin was portrayed as a worthy opponent, etc. That's the fact, Jack

So our once enemy hollywood elite suddenly agree wi th us and we accept them lovingly.
Crap.
This is even more blatent proof of the success of the NWO.

I am jumping ship, whose with me!!!???

[Mr. Silverback]

I'm sorry, I meant there to be a sarcasm tag in my post. I know Woods is a solid citizen, and the dress rehearsal did really happen. In fact, he was interviewed again by the FBI soon after 9/11 because they wanted to see whether any of the dress rehearsal guys were still out there.

[Mr. Silverback]

I haven't heard Cher say much about the war, but she's fighting for better helmets for our troops. That tells me a lot more about her than some "ad" ever could!

Got a link for that? I'd like to thank her.

[Mr. Silverback]

You posted gibberish, and I don't speak gibberish. I paid you the common courtesy of seeking to understand what you were saying, and you insult me. What a hero. Pat yourself on the back.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I wouldn't get too excited. They see the bottom line and realize they are all at odds with the people who made them rich and famous. Going so far as to borrow some of President Bush's best lines and incorporating them into this long rant.

[Mr. Silverback]

So our once enemy hollywood elite suddenly agree wi th us and we accept them lovingly.

Translation: How dare these people act like decent human beings and stand up against Islamofascism! Don't they know we're too good to have them on our side?"

[Mr. Silverback]

Well, considering the fact that my family includes a father, sibling, 1st. uncle, to name a few, who faithfully and proudly served in the military, and that I wanted to serve my country, but was denied due to a preexisting medical condition, qualifies me as a hypocrite.

Well then, you're not a hypocrite. But neither is Bruce Willis or Gary Sinise, they've been to Iraq.

[Mr. Silverback]

Since you're such a gracious Internet correspondent, I choose to keep my reply a secret.

Ah. Smells like hypocrisy.

[ElPatriota]

No...what?... did HOLLYWOOD ran out of booze, drugs, cocaine, lsd, methamphetamines, prostitutes in all its varieties? :)

Or is it possible they can actually see the major MORONS they have become?... is it possible?

[GretchenM]

You seem to me to be weird.

[This Just In]

Perhaps you've failed to read my posts carefully, and so I will state again; "this does not include all celebrities mentioned in this article" (Post# 356)

I am fully aware of Mr. Sinise, Mr. Willis, and Ms. Wheaton's track record in relation to their support and charitable/personal contributions to our troops.

Nicole was born in Hawaii, so she is American too.

I go out of my way to watch Nicole Kidman movies, even if it isn't the type of movie I'd normally want to see. She's great.

Willis, Woods and Heaton I can understand, but the rest???

I've been wondering about Hopper since he was in "The E-Ring last season. He played a hard charging SpecOps Col. in charge of operations.

Always saying things like "We don't have time for a warrant" "Terrorists have no rights" etc.

Wondered if he took the part because of convictions or poverty.

[Mr. Silverback]

Earlier I wrote that your angle reflected either prejudice or a lack of intelligence on your part. The good news is I'm absolutely sure you're not prejudiced.

Have a nice day.

TOO F'ING LATE!

[Mr. Silverback]

Michael I knew was a liberal. Perhaps the all so beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones has turned him into a conservative?

Probably a combination of having kids and having seen the liberal misery up close while with Maureen Dowd.

Dowd's BushWorld book was featured at my local dollar store a few weeks back...even there it wasn't selling.

[Mr. Silverback]

Don Johnson has been a conservative for a while. Since his Miami Vice days.

Was unaware of that. Thanks for the info and good on Don.

[Mr. Silverback]

Not to toot my own horn, but...

Here's a link to an op ed I wrote in '04, which I know you'll like. I was reminded of it because of your Aussie comments...here's a pertinent sentence describing one of the steps in Kerry's campaign strategy:

Insult the Australians by sending your sister to tell them their Prime Minister caused the 2002 Bali bombing by helping us in the War on Terror.

[Mr. Silverback]

You seem to me to be weird.

Truly you possess a rapier wit.
