Human shields
Why are protesters planning to line up outside the National Press Club today for an appearance by antiwar activist and Hollywood actor Tim Robbins?
"We are human shields for reporters," says Kristinn Taylor of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, "in case they ask a question of Tim Robbins he doesn't like."
Mr. Robbins has threatened reporters and columnists with bodily harm over coverage he deems insufficiently favorable.
As another example of Mr. Robbins' temper, Mr. Taylor cited the recent decision by the National Baseball Hall of Fame to cancel a celebration of the movie "Bull Durham" rather than give Mr. Robbins and fellow activist/actor Susan Sarandon a forum for their antiwar views.
In a letter to the Hall of Fame, Mr. Robbins called President Dale Petroskey one of the "cowards and ideologues" who disgrace the country and the military.
yee-haw !
