Farrell talking about arrogant? He SHOULD know! He is certainly ARROGANT! GAG! He just showed what an arrogant jerk he really is after being such a smart *ss with Hannity. I'm SO SICK of these "celebrities". They SHOULD mind their own damn business and leave protecting this country to those who give a crap with the COURAGE to do so.

Sorry that Tea Leone and Samual Jackson disappointed me.

I haven't heard of half of these people. where are Cruise and the Baldwin boys?

[fm1]

Cruise and Spielberg Back War

[Mr. Thorne]

THAT's who that is? Yeesh. What a pair. John and Daisy. Tom Bergeron (sp) is a huge improvement.

[Mr. Thorne]

Too bad about Hector Elizondo and Cary Elwes. I always kinda liked them.

[cicada]

Bradley Whitford?!! Throw out your Aerosmith albums!

Merry Kwanza, dearest "Celebrities"
(from the folks at Free Republic)

We're copying this list and checking it twice
Lookin' to see who's naughty or nice
Our boycotts are comin' to town
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, we're telling you why
You "stars" will soon crash down
We know with whom you're sleeping, hah
We know you're each a flake
We know 'cause we've been freepin', hah
So get lost for goodness sake.
Rub-a-dum-dums and rat-a-tat-tats
You're gone with the wind, you has-been Rats.

[Mr. Thorne]

That was probably one of the conditions to the J-Lo marriage: No Politics Before Bedtime.

[Mr. Thorne]

I wouldn't worry. With LeGuin's name on the header, you're probably looking at the more 'elfy,' 'all the world's a forest' crowd.

Not likely to see Weber, Stirling, Drake, Pournelle or Niven hanging with the 'soft' sci-fi gang.

Thanks for posting the list. I tried, but couldn't accomplish it.

CONSERVATIVE

[Sister_T]

I first heard about this on Inside Edition. They also quoted Jessica Lange in Spain where she stated that she despised (yes, she used "despised") the president, the administration and blah, blah, blah. I'm thinking to myself, "Then why don't you leave the country, you miserable thing!" Yeah, I'm sure the President is quaking in his boots with this pro-Saddam, pro-"let's kill more Americans" crowd.

But, my question is: Where were these people when Clinton talked about going after Saddam?

BTW, REALLY DISAPPOINTED in Samuel L. Jackson. And Lawrence Fishburne? So much for "The Matrix Revisited".

[stanz]

I am very disappointed but not surprised to read some of those names. My X-Files favorites have let me down... the others I don't give a s**t about. We have to remember that there are many of us out there who do respect the President's initiatives. The others don't count.

[Sister_T]

The bottom-line is, if Bush was a Democrat none of these scum who put their political party ahead of the best interests of this country, would sign such a letter.

Exactly! Where were these folks, so concerned about human lives, when Clinton bombed that factory in the Sudan or spoke about going after Saddam or sent our troops to the Balkans when there was NO American interest there to protect? HYPOCRITES ALL, I tell you!

[pfflier]

This is a who's who list of people that sold their souls to Hollwierd's America bashing.

I prefer to revel in the names that aren't on the list thinking that they are courageously not giving in to the Hollywierd mafia. They are truly taking the risk here and making a significan stand because they stand to be blacklisted by these pseudo-intellectual snobs.

[anka]

who hates Tolkien?! why, i'll kick their little a$$!!

[Chi-townChief]

Most of these folks are pretty washed-up although I see a few are still viable. At any rate, most of us here at FR are more informed than all of these loons combined.

Considering most of these "celebrities" careers, they should have held out for a higher price.
