FREEP: Ed Asner and the Commies in Seattle, March 20

Sound Nonviolent Opponents of War (S.N.O.W.) ^ | 3/6/04 | Radical America-hating Leftist

[ppaul]

Ed Asner is coming to Seattle to run up the white flag, encourage relinquishing U.S. sovereignty to the U.N. and support freedom's enemies. These America-hating nut-jobs are all over the overpasses on I-5 today with banners. They're planning a big rally to give aid and comfort to terrorists worldwide by running down our country and President Bush. Great FReepin' opportunity.

[banjo joe]

Ironic that he played a "newsman" in whatever forgettable show that was with MTM.

[Libertina]

Actually, he'd fit right in with today's mainstream media bunch...

[Libertina]

The world still says no to Communists and liberalism.

[Libertina]

...Er...make that AMERICA still says no to Communists and liberalism.

[CWOJackson]

Seattle isn't part of America. Here we have statues of Lenin in our parks and a major league baseball park that won't fly the American flag anywhere visible from outside the park so it doesn't offend the locals.

[cubreporter]

And Ed Assner's last big movie was?

Ed Assner's last big Academy Award was?

Ed Assner's last big TV show was?

When you don't have people knocking down your doors to beg you to do this movie or that...then I guess you have to get your attention elsewhere. How old is this guy anyway? Just curious. Definitely don't care. I always thought he played a pretty true to life character in the MTM show. Grouchy, grumpy, unhappy, ignorant and rude.

[ApplegateRanch]

Ed Asner grew up under one on the most brutal dictatorships in history, in Argentina. It taught him NOTHING.

He didn't have a clue then.

He doesn't have a clue now.

[Angelwood]

I used to like him when he played "Mr. Grant" -- but Ed Asner deserves to be freeped! Please ping me to the after-action report and FReep On!

Sure that is just a snow job?

All good little commies unite for peace & freedom, in the cause of neither.

Even in college, I wasn't THAT stupid.

Here is the Pastor of this church, from the church site.:

February 10, 2004

With Humility, We Apologize To the Nations of the World, Citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan, and Members of the Islamic Faith:

We believe in the power of admitting error, or of error made on our behalf, as a first step toward restoration of relationship.

As citizens of the United States of America, we have witnessed the actions of our government since the fateful terrorist attack against our country on September 11, 2001. And we are dismayed. On that terrible day, hate and revenge reigned. Those who committed those destructive and violent acts of terrorism deserve condemnation. Following that day, the sympathy of the world was with our nation, and it was deeply appreciated.

We would have hoped that our government would have taken a high moral road following those attacks and called the nations of the world to closer collaboration. It would have been a call away from preemptive attacks, away from waging war, and away from revenge. It would have called for greater economic, political and diplomatic collaboration. It would have strengthened security preparedness. It would have called for greater unity among the world’s three great monotheistic faiths. It would have called for a collaborative, focused effort by the community of nations to identify, arrest, dismantle and marginalize terrorist organizations, not governments. It would have caused us to stand with and respect our friends.

Instead, our nation has acted unilaterally, and the so-called “partner-nations” have acquiesced--mostly by intimidation or by reward, not out of their sense of what is right. Most of these “partner-nations” have alienated their own citizens by their cooperation. We have engaged in preemptive attack against other nations. The result has been the strengthening of the terrorist cause offering them easy targets in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as other places such as Indonesia and Turkey.

Instead of mobilizing decency and good will, we have alienated many nations and peoples of the world. Because of US American military and economic might, we have acted more like a bully rather than use our strength for the good of all. We have acted like an empire rather than a leader among sovereign nations.

We deeply regret the loss of life among our American soldiers. We likewise regret the loss of life among other soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have found ourselves imposing western-style democracy on nations with little interest or tradition for this approach to governance. We have not been liberators but occupiers.

We regret that we have not been told the truth by our own government. Nearly all the evidence and justification for the invasion of Iraq have been misleading or inaccurate.

Within our country, we have found that our own laws and freedoms have been compromised and persons of Arab descent and persons of Islamic faith have been unfairly targeted. This falls beneath the standards we expect of our government.

Using color-coded alerts, our leaders have tried to change our national psyche from security to fear. We do not want to participate in this culture of fear.

The United States of America was founded on principles that have been abrogated. Because of this, we reach out to the nations and citizens of the world and express our profound regret and sincere apology.

Asner not too long ago lamented that there had not been a tv or movie that did justice for his hero Joe Stalin and that he would have liked to have played him.
That is all you need to know about Ed Asner, he is a life long Communist.
I just wonder how he reconciles his communism with the fact that he has made all of his money under a Capitalist
system??????????????????????????

[Libertina]

Thanks Angelwood, will do :)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

And then, he rolled over and urinated on himself.

(Gag me with a rototiller.)

Are all Baptists as out of touch with reality as the Reverend Dr. Stephen Jones of Seattle?

I am sure not, but I just can't figure out why a man of God would host something with Ed Asner, knowing his politics, and pass it off as a righteous thing for his congregation to participate in, let alone broadcasting to the area that he, a minister is standing alongside Asner AGAINST our President !! We are falling fast.

How refreshing had he hosted a Day of Prayer for our country and our troops..and for God to grant wisdom to our President. I just am so saddened by this. Does anyone take serving God seriously ?

Y'all gotta hold the fort there. I'm indisposed at Ft. Bragg the same day.
