THE LEFT COAST REPORT
A Political Look at Hollywood

Although Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and Janeane Garofalo have been dominating the anti-war airwaves of late, some stars with differing points of view have decided to speak up.

Bruce Willis, Brian McKnight, Kid Rock, Rob Lowe and Jean-Claude Van Damme are saying things that are undoubtedly making the anti-war crowd steam. On the other hand, the celebrity rhetoric that’s coming out of these guys is warming the hearts of the kick-Saddam’s-butt bunch.

According to the New York Daily News, Willis seriously thought about enlisting in the U.S. armed services.

Singer Brian McKnight told MSNBC, “If we do go to war ... I'm going to support whatever President Bush decides to do.”

Kid Rock colorfully expressed his views by saying, “We got to kill that mother-[bleeper] Saddam. Slit his throat.”

Rob Lowe, Sheen’s former co-star on “The West Wing,” told Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" on Monday that Americans should support our armed forces, and that the best way to do that is to support our commander in chief.

And action movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme told Globe magazine, “Some of those in Hollywood are part of the axis of ignorance!”

The Left Coast Report says it’s nice to know that there are celebrities with the mental muscle to go against the grain.

Thanks for the reference; nice to see Rob Lowe on board considering his past Democrat support.
