PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -- Actor Danny Glover has called on the United States government to spare the life of Osama bin Laden, even if he is found guilty of being involved in terrorist acts.

Glover, who starred in "The Color Purple" and the "Lethal Weapons" series, made the comments Thursday during an anti-death penalty forum at Princeton University, The Trentonian of Trenton reported in Friday's editions.

I think it is important that he is killed by other muslims. That will keep him from becoming a martyr. In that vein, it would be best if he is killed by one of the various tribal warlords.

I think Mel Gibson needs to pay a visit to his old friend and b*tch slap him silly.

What a friggin' idiot.

""We must stand vigilant against (President) Bush in these times.""

IT SEEMS THAT MR. GLOVER SUFFERED SOME BRAIN DAMAGE FILIMING LETHAL WEAPON. HE NEEDS TO TAKE A FEW POINTERS FROM HIS CO-STAR MR. GIBSON.

A LIBERAL MIND IS A GREAT THING TO WASTE.

Not another penny of my money will go to that man. Can't act anyway, or hold a candle to Morgan Freeman.

Is Glover on Ecstasy?

[Heff]

Ok Mr. Glover...we must stand vigilant against you.

You are just another left-wing hollyweird wacho who's movies I won't pay to see.

Have a nice day.

Herr Glover had a stinky-fit a couple of years ago, alleging DISCRIMINATION because he couldn't get a cab to pick him up in New York City.

Now, this worthless heap wants us to take pity on a co-religionist of the folks who wouldn't give him a ride?

[NativeNewYorker]

Ladin or Glover?

Free Speech = Freedom to be an outspoken idiot.

It's easy to hate the death penalty when you love in a gated community.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Do you realize how brave Glover is to make this statement? He's probably 2nd on their list of targets, after the Baldwin compounds.

Or was that the Canadian's target list?

Guess I've enjoyed my last movie with Glover!!! Can someone please explain to me why the Left Coast believes we CARE what they think????? They weren't that important before 9/11. Since then they have become INSIGNIFICANT!!! Get the hook!!

[pubmom]

I guess he's with the terrorists.

[jrlc]

Sure hate to see Glover ruin his career like this -- but then again, knowing the liberal control over movies and TV maybe he has a plan going -- check to see if he gets to play the new Vice President on the Left Wing -- NBC's Democratic wet dream of a Clinton-Gore White House.

"This clearly is a slippery slope," Glover said. "We must stand vigilant against (President) Bush in these times."

Slippery slope? We already have the death penalty. Does he think we'll fry 'em twice?

Or does he mean the slippery slope towards supporting the President, now that the nation is rallying behind him in time of war.

Memo to Mr. Glover: Shut your freaking pie-hole, a-hole.
