Gere: Karadzic and Bush are monsters

In the out-of-competition "The Hunting Party" directed by Richard Shepard, Richard Gere plays a discredited journalist who tries to track down Bosnian Serb fugitive Radovan Karadzic, indicted for war crimes at the UN tribunal in The Hague.

Gere said he went looking for the former Bosnian Serb political leader in real life to prepare for the film.

"I was mostly interested in seeing the look in people's eyes when I asked them if it was possible to speak to Karadzic," he said. "And what I saw behind their eyes was, 'Yes, it's possible, but I would probably have my children killed'."

The central question of the film, for Gere, is "How do these people (such as Karadzic) become leaders? In my own country, how did we elect (President George W.) Bush twice? How is this possible?"

Gere also lashed out at the Serbian authorities for refusing to turn over Karadzic and his former military leader Ratko Mladic to the UN war crimes tribunal. "He writes plays, he eats in restaurants where we actually ate (during filming). It's a joke," Gere said.

re: Gere on Bush

A better question for dipsticks like Gere to ponder: how is it possible for the Hollyweird left to think they have any knowledge or judgment about politics, AT ALL?? How is it possible that they think anyone should actually care what they have to say, EVER?

Dear Mr. Gere, they really need you in Pyongyang. Awec Baldwin has not been fulfilling the Great Leader’s every need, and you could go there to stroke his ego (or any part of his anatomy). Would you do it if he promised you his commitment to WORLD PEACE??

I guess Bush has lost the gerbil vote...

Dammn!

Oh, Richard Quere, you are sooooo brave...So brave I could vomit.

It means NOTHING, and takes NO RISK to "stand up" to GOOD. It means EVERYTHING and RISKS EVERYTHING to stand up to EVIL.

[Captainpaintball]

What did the brown gerbil say to the white gerbil?

"Hi, welcome to Richard Gere's colon. You must be the new guy."

Yep!

It always amazes me that people in general are listening to these stooges, who earn their livings by portraying persons that they really are NOT themselves!!

95% of them are illusions and living in a "dream" world!!!

“I more outraged......” = “I’m more outraged.....”

I no write too gud.

[LeoWindhorse]

I actually used to like and respect Richard Gere.
Now , with these stupid asinine remarks , and after nearly raping that Indian actress on stage and getting her and himself in much trouble , I have totally lost all respect for him. H.H. the Dalai Lama should publicly distance and disavow this clown and fraud ASAP .
Why is it that these people allow their celebrity to go to their heads in such ways ? They only end up moronic .

Well said!

Bears repeating!

The lama will disown Gere five minutes after Gere loses his money and poularity. F the lama.

"...Gere: Karadzic and Bush are monsters..."

I know this isn't quite a gerbil, but perhaps it will do...

[nyyankeefan]

I just cannot figure out why we pay attention to people so totally unqualified to speak out. Every time one of these empty heads speak out I winch at their ignorance and moronic views. When I was in high school the wannabe actors and actresses were the class cut ups, for the most part. Now a few of them have money, and are experts in whatever cause they choose to spice up an otherwise empty life.

[LibLieSlayer]

This guy should stick to things he knows... like Gerbils!

[Moby Grape]

Gere doesn’t rise to the level of moron.
