Wow! They censored Sally Field! (Sally Field anti-war Emmy acceptance speech cut off)

"If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any god -" Emmy winner Sally Field said before the Emmycast cut her off her sound and pointed the camera away from the stage so viewers would be distracted. Cut off were the words "g-d d--ned wars in the first place."

"This belongs to all the mothers of the world - may they be seen and valued," she added when she won best actress in a drama series for her work as matriarch Nora Walker on "Brothers & Sisters."

I’m a woman and I agree - women are far more vindicive and spiteful. They also hold grudges a lot longer.

[HawaiianGecko]

 Sally;  something about being quiet and letting people think you are dumb, rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt comes to mind as I read your insipient remark.

[capitalist229]

No one wants to hear Sally saying GD, of all things.

I am surprised that the network even attempted it.

Tiger Woods uttered the same thing two Sundays ago in the heat of a tournament with no admonishment at all.

BUMP

[RGSpincich]

Thanks!

[CaptainK]

Two husbands, three kids.

And a lot of wasted years, between husbands,on a dead-end relationship with Burt Reynolds.

"If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any g-d d--ned wars in the first place.-" Emmy winner Sally Field said ..

Either Sally grew up in a family where the mother didn't speak or the father never prevailed. Even amongst parties who agree, conflicts have been known to emerge.

[YourAdHere]

God, I didn’t even know she had a show.

[CodeMasterPhilzar]

I just have to shake my head. Where do these people get off thinking they have some special insight, that they are right in taking advantage of their (momentary) celebrity to push their (generally un-informed) opinions on the rest of us? What makes her think she is right, and that her opinion on the war deserves air time, and any more weight than anyone else's?

Just about every one of those liberal jerks in Hollywood needs a slap in the face and a wake-up call. They are actors and actresses...merely entertainers. Their careers are built largely around their looks, their ability to memorize lines, and luck. Woo wee. Do they have any real education or experience in, well, anything of substance? Any law, international diplomacy, military training, comparative religions, establishing infrastructure, engineering...anything?

So Hollywood, unless you have something intelligent and meaningful to contribute, and something that isn't anti-American, isn't socialist, and doesn't give aide and comfort to our enemies in a time of war - I respectfully suggest you shut the {expletive} up.

[Pravious]

“... Their careers are built largely around their looks, their ability to memorize lines, and luck...”

And who they screw to get there.

[Bender2]

Bender! Wake up, Bender. Some folks are here... to see ya.

Whew! My head... feels like a basketball filled with hot lead!

Whoa, Bender... You, Sally Field and Elaine Stitch really brought the house down last night!

Me, Sally Field and Elaine Stitch? What... did Sally do?

She showed her anti-war ass at the Emmy Awards... Fox even had to cut in and censor her.

What... did Elaine do?

Shot her mouth off, too... but she just looked senile.

Gadzooks! What... did I do?

About the same... but your ass was shiny and metal.

Boy... I must have been really drunk last night!

Oh my God! You... were like a horny old man.

Hummmmmmmmm... Guess I wasn't that drunk after all!

Whew! My head... feels like a basketball filled with hot lead!

You poor baby... Let me get you a beer!

Well, R2. See what happens... when you have a robot interacting with humans outside his original programming!

[PLMerite]

Does the one on the right understand that she’s supposed to be *singing* into the microphone?

[Lee'sGhost]

NOpe. Not even with YOUR extension cord.

[SoftballMominVA]

She looked like a pure idiot. Back in the day, the studios would have controlled her and the other idiot actresses out there. Now they flounder on their own.

[longtermmemmory]

I thought she was not acting in anything because she is doing old people pills commercials.

Guess that endorsement is gone...

[moonman]

Thanks

[small voice in the wilderness]

Hey, Sally, how ‘bout them unwanted babies “moms-to-be” declare war on every day??? You know, the ones that are sucked out un-armed, literally. It’s a real womb quagmire for the innocents of this world, with no exit strategy of their own for nine months and total dependence on mom for their safe-keeping. And yet, YOU, demented princess of propoganda, think war would not exist if moms were in charge? Ignorant hypocrit.

[mimaw]

What career? I haven’t seen her in much of anything since Gidget and the Flying Nun. It’s too bad you have to behave like a loon to be applauded in Hollywierd. I think she needs to stick to commercials. She really doesn’t have an abundance of talent.

[1Old Pro]

Aside from taking the Lord’s name in vein, she is flat wrong. She needs some lessons from Maggie Thatcher.

[1Old Pro]

If Sally Fields had ANY class she would issue an apology this morning.
