Halle Berry says she thinks she's 'ugly'
Knight Ridder ^

Posted on 04/19/2003 9:01:58 PM PDT by Pokey78

Halle Berry solidified her place as one of the world's sexiest women with her role as Bond girl Jinx in "Die Another Day."

But the Oscar-winning actress (Monster's Ball) says she still doesn't see herself as a beautiful star.

"To be totally honest, most of the time I think I'm ugly," she told the German magazine Journal fur die Frau. "I see myself without makeup every morning and that's why I don't have illusions anymore. I certainly don't feel like a big star."

Berry added that being black still hinders her progress in Hollywood.

"For many film studios and directors skin color remains a problem. They don't believe that the audience will accept a black actor in the main role. These narrow-minded people underestimate the public and prevent advancement in the industry."

Berry's next film will be "X-2," the sequel to "X-Men" slated for a May 2 release.

Her credentials include being on the PAID staff of Alan Keyes...

Well, that explains everything...except, I wonder if she ever discussed her personal theory about Mother Teresa currently burning in Hell with her Roman Catholic boss?

"Maybe the problem is that too many Freepers AREN'T really conservative and they get their panties in a bundle when a real conservative shows up and puts them to shame."


Uh huh. Yep, that must be it. And a TRUE conservative, one can presume, has the following qualities: integrity, intellectual honesty and a conservative value-system.

Your gal had NONE of these, if behavior on these boards is any indication. She trolled threads to cause dissent and take the threads off topic. She made herself the center of attention...and played the Drama Queen to the hilt.

She would,

1) make an inflammatory statement;
2) illicit responses;
3) twist or misstate those responses;
4) and when the poster(s) attempted to correct the spun or twisted response(s), jael would claim victim status and ping the moderator or JimR to defend her.
5)If that tactic didn't fully get her the attention she desired, she would claim to have inside influence with the owner of this forum.

VERY dishonest and without the integrity expected from your so-called TRUE conservative. I can say this with a perfectly straight face and surety in my heart, jael reaped what she sowed----big time.

So please.....do NOT play the 'true conservative' card on this topic. If you think she was so wronged.....follow her out the door. Your defense of the indefensible is pretty pathetic.

Can't ANY of you talk about Jael without LYING through your teeth? She was never part of any "Witch Forum" and never claimed she was.

She did post *against* witchcraft on an Alabama NEWSPAPER forum that had become infiltrated by witches.

<< Successful politics is not about being rigid unless you're an authoritarian like Saddam Hussein and can enforce your political views at the point of a gun. Politics in the United States is a about flexibility and persuasion--even more so in the post-Clinton polarized world in which we live. No candidate for president can hope to win (and actually have a chance to meaningfully influence the course of important matters) unless that candidate shows an ability to be flexible. >>

You sound like a liberal Democrat. Whatever happened to standing for what's RIGHT and VIRTUE being its own reward?

You have succumbed to the politics of compromise, which got us on the downward spiral we're on. People would rather shift to being WRONG so they can *win* instead of standing for RIGHT no matter what. I don't know what kind of *win* that is. It got us a "conservtive Republican" President who has named six sodomites to his staff, has done nothing to quell abortion, and now is bailing out on gun rights. That's what this "flexibility" is getting us.

And when you get someone who stands for what they believe in, without compromise, like Jael, you panty-waisted compromisers blow your fuses. How pathetic for a bunch of men to get beat up by a girl who has more guts than all of you put together. You can't refute her, so you must get her removed from the forum. No doubt I'm next on your list.

<< And a TRUE conservative, one can presume, has the following qualities: integrity, intellectual honesty and a conservative value-system. >>

I guess that means you finally recognize that GW Bush is not a true conservative. If a value system that includes surrounding one's self with a septet of sodomites and rubber-stamping Clinton's policies on abortion, gun-control, and environmentalism, and exceeding Clinton in government spending and control is a "conservative" value system, then I resign as a conservative.

<< She would, 1) make an inflammatory statement; >>

The TRUTH usually is imflammatory. The other points you made were simply your *opinion* - not to be confused with fact or truth.

It's odd though, how somebody standing for what they believe is castigated as being "inflammatory", but you guys mock her as a troll, a "drama queen", and impugn her honesty, and THAT is *not* inflammatory on your parts? It's not only inflammatory, but hypocritical.

<< So please.....do NOT play the 'true conservative' card on this topic. If you think she was so wronged.....follow her out the door. >>

Mom, is that you? I don't know who else would presume to boss me around like that (and my mom hasn't herself in over 20 years).

I may get thrown out the door, but I will not leave willingly because a bunch of tender maids can't handle the heat in the kitchen.

Here's one of Jaels more interesting threads. Invited witches to join Free Republic and everything! The whole threads a real keeper.

The post you refer to says, in its entirety:

Wow! Now that is proof that she belonged to a "Witch Forum" if I ever saw it!

It was exactly as I stated, she posted on an Alabama NEWSPAPER forum that was overrun by professing witches.

<< So who's the liar? You've been exposed dear. >>

No, if you are trying to prove she is pro-witch, or from a "Witch Forum", or whatever, it is incumbent on you to provide the evidence - not to expext others to wade through 400 posts. Give the post (or a few) that give the best evidence for your slanderous claims. If you can't, you'll deservedly be exposed as a slanderer, liar, and devoid of character.

I think the reason you won't post anything but general innuendos to defend your claims is that you HAVE no evidence for your claims. Prove me wrong.

Jael, although we seem to be on the same side in the Harry Potter thread discussion, I'm a little concerned that you are pointing people to what you would seem to call a witches website. Aren't you essentially doing the same thing that you and I have been arguing that the Harry Potter media does (i.e, gets people interested in witchcraft)? Just wanted to point that out to you.

Why would you try to persuade someone to expose themselves to this kind of evil (which you assert is not a fiction but real) with one post when you posted earlier about the evils of going to view a fiction movie?

You're asking someone to participate, as it were, in real evil. What if someone goes over there and falls under a spell? How do we know you haven't fallen under a spell over there?

I regret that I wasn't clearer about the witches. It isn't just some web site where a few people who could say anything hang out. I just thought that would be a good place to find a few.

Several of these people are publically involved in Witchcraft, and I know people who have met them, and I personally know a few myself.

Now what did all that prove? It proved EXACTLY what I said (twice). She posted on an Alabama newspaper religion forum that became overrun by professing witches. She did not come from a "Witch Forum". She is not defending witches or withcraft - she is OPPOSING them.

She believes witches exist - the Bible says they do, perhaps you are a Bible infidel?

She invited those of you who doubted them to chat with them for yourselves - an offer which you all predictably fled from. Why flee something you don't believe exists? LOOK OUT! The Easter Bunny is chasing you! Run for your life!

You think witches don't exist? Come to the state prison in Waupun, Wisconsin. A professing witch is a chaplain there (their other chaplain is a Muslim).

You posted a lot of stuff to try and look impressive, but NONE of it indicated any wrongdoing by Jael.
