Is it possible to abbreviate this list to those who have vehemently and publically come out against the war on terror? As others have said, they have first amendment rights and signing yourname on a piece of paper is not necessarily a hanging offense.

It's not necessary to go after everyone to make your point or to be effective. In fact, it's easier and more productive to target the worst offenders and concentrate your energies there. The others will get the message. If needed, we should focus our efforts against those who have used their fame, fame gained through average American's like us buying tickets to their movies or buying their CD's, to be advocates for causes with which we are in strict disagreement. Fame and infamy are twin brothers. It is comical to watch these pukes whine about the criticism directed at them when it is the same dynamic that allows their opinions to get the media attention in the first place. Spoiled, whiney, selfish brats. That's all they are.

Thank you for writing Visa USA. We always value feedback from cardholders.
While we understand your concerns, it's important to know that Visa doesn't
endorse any personal political positions of individuals who appear in our
advertisements. Mr. Sheen is part of a long list of celebrities that we use
or have used -- from Yao Ming to Bob Dole to Kevin Bacon--to promote the
check card and while they play a role in our spots, they in no way represent
the views of Visa. Visa USA remains focused on providing cardholders with
the best global payments network offering an abundance of payment choices.

That being said, we can also say that this commercial is not on air anymore.

Again, thank you for writing. We hope that you will continue to choose Visa
as a secure, convenient, and reliable way to pay.

VISA Webmaster

Dear Visa:

Just wanted to let you know that I am boycotting VISa products due to your
usage of Martin Sheen as a spokesperson

Here's progress...so much for standing up for what you believe, huh?

Janeane Garofalo Gives It Up March 12, 2003
Is out-of-work actress Janeane Garofalo French? You could be excused for thinking so after reading that she's given up her fight after only a couple of weeks. You have to feel sort of sorry for her - almost. In days gone by, a D-celebrity could've really advanced her career by simply donning a pair of smart glasses, reading a couple New York Times articles, and spouting conspiracy theories against a Republican president. Those days are over. <GIGGLE!


Garofalo admitted that the so-called peace movement stayed silent during Clinton-era wars because it "wasn't hip." She would never have been pressed with that question before the days of the EIB Network. Garofalo says she may quit protesting U.S. plans to make war on Iraq (It's on Saddam, not Iraq) saying she's being harassed and that Hollywood leftists "don't get enough respect." She has it far better, of course, than anyone speaking out against Saddam Hussein's wars would've had it - but that's as it should be.

The star of flop movies such as "Mystery Men" complained that she's had to change her phone number because of harassing calls - and it's the media's fault. Where is this commitment that we've been told the anti-war types have if she's going to quit because of a little opposition? I once received millions of harassing phone calls, Janeane, which is why I give you this tip: get an unlisted number. As for getting respect, it helps if you can come up with something that makes sense. Saying that there's no evidence to connect Hussein to WMDs, and that Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice don't know what they're talking about based on sources you won't name, just won't work anymore. Even people who support you just won't buy it.
