Oh I see. Kill innocent babies, but don't allow the government to put a terrorist to death as punishment for committing brutal murders.

Has the "dumb butt" snake bitten all these hollywood pacifistic "nit wits" or have the terriorists dumped some kind of "duh" tablets into their drinking water?

I for one am fed up with the free press these "cut and run" artists are receiving.

Hey Glover, why don't you take all the money you have been paid for the violent films you have made and hire Johnny Cochran to defend these murderers maybe then you will shut up and we can all "just get along"?

LOL...I love when they do the Celebrity Jeopardy skit on Saturday Night Live. They are dead on with the stupid answers, vacant stares, self agrandizing. Too funny.

The event was sponsored by the Mercer County chapter of Amnesty International, which opposes the death penalty.

Mercer County/Danny Glover ... who the hell cares. Why is this stuff posted?

Good actors are good at reading scripts. Most actors are incapable of critical thinking. Director John Ford said as much.

This idiot, Glover, is just another example. It’s ironic that he made money in movies where the death penalty is applied capriciously in spontaneous shoot-outs with gratuitous violence, yet this hypocrite opposes lawful application of justice. He's added to my boycott list.

You know what? I can live with Danny boy's suggestions. I'd settle for a spare, but personally I'm hoping our boys in the B2s will bowl a perfect strike...

...please explain to me why the Left Coast believes....

I know it seemed like a cute thought at the time, but You must have really meant to say "Hollywierd." Mr. Goober, I think, is an East Coaster who only visits here when they have token parts for him. I.e. when better actors of his coloration are not available. (And there's a Lo-o-o-ong list of those.)

We do have leftward-leaning idiots out here, but even they are not like Hollywetters.

Left Coast leftists are just like East Coast leftists: they elect the likes of Hillary, Fineswine, Teddy, Pink Davis, Barney Flank, Barbara Boxless -- the list at both ends of the country goes on.

When East Coasters do relocate, they generally take their wackiness to places like Florida.

Just one 5000 pound daisy cutter dropped in the middle of one of their stupid award shows. Is that too much to ask?

Dannyboy also supports the communist congresscritter from berkely. I for one will never watch a program or movie that he appears in. I made that decision when he came out in support of the communist from berkely.
