Filmmaker, actor and activist George Clooney faced some serious questions backstage at the Golden Globe Awards after receiving his lifetime achievement Cecil B. DeMille Award. Wearing a “Je Suis Charlie” button in tribute of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, he closed his acceptance speech by saying, “Today was an extraordinary day. There were millions of people that marched, not just in Paris but around the world. And they were Christians and Jews and Muslims. They were leaders of countries all over the world, and they didn’t march in protest. They marched in support of the idea that we will not walk in fear. We won’t do it. So je suis Charlie. Thank you.”
Backstage, he was asked if there were plans to tackle this new reality on screen. “It’s a tricky thing,” he noted. “Films usually fall a couple years behind a news story, it takes a couple years to write a screenplay. Right now we’re all just trying to process what the world is going to look like next.”
He did caution for people to not overreact. “There’s a lot of anti-Muslim fervor in parts of Europe and we have to make sure that doesn’t get grouped into this horrible act of violence.”

It's terrible when the violent 97% of Muslims make the peaceful 3% look bad, isn't it?

those jihad morons were 10 minutes working their way through the journalists executing them one by one....10 minutes...think about that, because i can assure you george and his ilk hasnt...
the questions i have asked libs where i work.
do you want a chance to defend yourself? YES or NO
do you want to stand like cattle awaiting a slaughter? YES or NO
How come all the jihadi guys have banned AK’s in Paris?
How come all the jihadi guys are armed to the teeth with banned grenades and explosives?
in the offices of the journalists, who was obeying the anti weapons laws and who was not?
the libs want this problem to go away, they want this issue hidden behind the curtain again, they are dying for the retaliation as that will then allow them to do a moral equivalence and point at how its really our fault.
We’re waitng libtards.
“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,”
Have at it George. I didn’t know you did comedy...
And did any of the Hollyweirdos say anything about the slaughter in Nigeria by Boko Haram?
Hey pretty boy,get a clue you putz
Every Muslim is an accomplice to all these acts.....because it is part of the muslim doctrine....”Kill all the Christians and Jews”...though they’ll kill anyone at the drop of a hat. It is a political system....NOT a religion.

If Georgie boy feels so strong about it, he should be issuing a statement of disgust in regard to Odingo’s no show in Paris yesterday. Tic tic tic......... Just what I thought another POS Hollywood hypocrite. GFY Georgie boy.
