"I think America has no experience with terrorism or even with war. In Europe, we know a little bit more about these things."

--Peter Gabriel

"Bush is a racist"

--Danny Glover

"I don't see us winning the war. We have made enemies of one billion Muslims."

"As dumb as this administration is, they don't look ahead. They don't know where any countries are...They don't really know much about anything."

"Now you have people [in Washington] who have no interest in the country at all. They're interested in their companies, their corporations grabbing Caspian oil."

-- Gore Vidal

“In my country the atmosphere is poisoned. Unbreathable for those of us who are not on the right. So thank you for inviting me to this festival and allowing me to leave there for a few days.”

-- Jessica Lange

"So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.'"

"'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride."

-- Janeanne Garofalo

"I believe he thinks this [war against Iraq] is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore...We can't beat anyone anymore"

-- George Clooney

"[Bush is a] sad figure: not too well educated, who doesn't get out of America much. He's leading the country towards fascism... he wouldn't understand the word fascism anyway."

--Larry Hagman

"It is inappropriate for the [Bush] administration to trump up a case in which we are ballyhooed into war."

But, a few years earlier:

"...the bottom line is that I think it’s appropriate for the international community in situations like this to intervene [in Kosovo]. I am in favor of an intervention. On some level you have to say that at least somebody [Clinton] is doing something."

-- Mike Farrell

"I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies."

- Sheryl Crow

"I don't really view communism as a bad thing."

- Whoopi Goldberg

"America has never paid any attention to other people"

-- Richard Gere

"I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany."

-- David Clennon

"Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture."

-- Harry Belafonte

"Oh my God"??????? Please. Is she telling me she accepts the "under God" part of the Peldge but not the rest. Hmmmmmmmm. Just a little inconsistant don't ya think. Does she realize that her statement is a prayer to the God she doesn't begin to know. So sad.

Good Morning ....
No wonder our country is in trouble. Thanks for the post Happy! Ummmmm, it would be so nice if these idiot Hollywood types would just do their brainless acting and shut the hell up. They don't have a clue about reality and the hypocricy on their part is just infuriating to me. They are nothing but elitists who want their fairy-tale world left "as is". They could care LESS about anyone but themselves.
It might take some sacrifice on the part of us little people to shut them up. That would mean stop supporting them by going to their movies and buying any product they promote. That's what I do and sometimes it isn't easy but it must be done. If it ever came to a point where there was a financial threat for any one of them, it would take no time before they became totally silent ... They have no character. They merely think they are much more than they really are. I have not one ounce of respect for any of them.
A good case in point is Shawn Penn ... what a jerk. As far a Dan Blather, I have let CBS know I will NEVER watch them or any affiliate again ... I have also written companies I do business with to let them know if they advertise on this network I won't be seeing it. I am only one person and I am sure I am not having much of an effect BUT if more join me perhaps we will see some change???
BTW, you forgot Alex Baldwin ... I wish he would have kept his promise left for Cuba when President Bush was elected ... (sigh). Have a good day!

I say that one attributed to Bono originally. I would hold off on any asskicking until it can at least be credited to the correct individual.
