Hoffman: 'Bush Manipulates 9/11'
World Entertainment News Network ^ | December 1 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:36:01 PM PST by jmc1969

Acclaimed screen star DUSTIN HOFFMAN has slammed US President GEORGE W BUSH for manipulating the 9/11 terrorist attacks to facilitate the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

The RAIN MAN actor now feels "self-conscious" about being American because he can understand why the nation has become a focus for resentment around the world. He says, "I think that the administration manipulated the grief of 9/11. They did it then and they do it now. "Everybody knows why they wanted to go into Iraq and it had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction.

"I'm an American and it's not a good feeling. When Americans say, 'I don't know why they hate us so much,' that's an uneducated response.

"There are lots of reasons why we're hated."

You know where you can go, Dustin. To hell, or to France, your pick.

I'm sure being 4 ft tall isn't a good feeling either, why isn't he complaining about that?

I just watched part of "The Graduate" again last night. This punk didn't have the 'nads to nail Anne Bancroft when she was naked and begging for it, and he attacks the President?

I feel a little uncomfortable about America, too, because I don't believe it will fight for what it professes to believe in.

One of the biggest reasons we're hated is because we celebrate the vacuous and hold them in higher esteem than their accomplishments deserve.

Nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction, eh?

When a Democrat says Saddam has WMD, it's the truth. When a Republican says it, it's a "lie."

Mr. Hoffman, please stop parroting the Party line, and explain to us why the majority of folks in other countries want to come to the States so badly that they will walk through deserts and cross oceans to get here?

There are lots of reasons why I hate you, too, Hoffman! Go back to buttocks kissing your illiterate hag buddie, Barbra Streisand. You have the gift (and iron stomach) for that.

Maybe we're hated because foreign peoples get their ideas about us from Hollywood films, which are nothing but fiction, often with a liberal slant.

The Hollywood version of Americans is that we are no more than crass killers, gangsters, conspirators, fornicators, and idiots. The only American heroes are Superman, Spiderman, and Batman.
