Give Martin Sheen a Taste of His Own Medicine! Left-wing actor Martin Sheen is on TV urging his fellow appeasement activists to harass the White House and Senate with a bombardment of phone, fax and e-mail messages. Now it's time to see if Sheen and his ilk can take what they dish out. Sheen's front group pompously, hilariously calls itself "Artists [sic] United to Win Without War." Its co-chairmen are has-been TV "artist" Mike Farrell and Robert Greenwald. Its executive director is Kate McArdle. Phone: 1-310-204-2581. Be sure to tell the "artists" what you think of them.

LOS ANGELES, Feb 19 (AFP) - Hollywood stars Wednesday opened a new front in their battle to derail US plans for a war with Iraq, unveiling plans to flood the White House and lawmakers with antiwar phone calls, e-mails and faxes. A group of stars led by Martin Sheen -- who plays the US president on the television show "The West Wing" -- and actresses Anjelica Huston and Janeane Garofalo said they would stage a "virtual march" Monday on Washington. "Our message to Washington will be clear -- 'Don't invade Iraq!' We can contain Saddam Hussein without killing innocent...

These anti American celebrities are assaulting America and it's citizens with HATE!! They are using hard earned dollars spent by the average Americans to flood our airwaves with LIES! They hate Bush PERIOD!

<p>One of the most convincing arguments for U.S. action comes from the Clinton administration's Iraq expert. Kenneth M. Pollack's new book, The Threatening Storm, provides terrifying testimony. Pollack, former National Security Council director of Gulf affairs, shows how foolish it would be to allow Saddam to remain in power until he's killing Kansans as well as Kurds.</p> <p>Discussing Saddam's 1979 rise to power, Pollack writes that "like his idol Josef Stalin, Saddam Hussein quickly set about purging the party and government of any but the most devoted and non-threatening adherents.</p>

Acting Patriotic We often hear from the "anti-war" crowd that "dissent is what America is all about." That by protesting against the war, they are not "unpatriotic," rather, they are the "true patriots." Not to mention the pat on the back they give to themselves because of their "bravery." Bravery has many definitions, "The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it." – Thucydides. More to the point, "Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless...

As more Hollywood stars take up the role of anti-war activist, more citizens are throwing their support behind a grass-roots effort to counter the weight of the celebrities' voices, and to the organizer of the effort that means exposing the stars' hidden agenda. more..

There are people, in these times of war fever and right-wing resurgence in America, who take a certain perverse pleasure in the continuing success of The West Wing, television's fantasy variant on the soap opera of modern politics. Supporters of the real-life president, George Bush, like to scoff at the impeccable liberal credentials of his fictional counterpart, Josiah Bartlett. Bartlett. His starry-eyed left-wing idealism might have seemed halfway plausible back in the dog days of Bill Clinton when the show began, more...

Anyone can get transcript for this show which aired this morning 1-9-03. It had the creep from the National Council of Churches, Martin Sheen, some former admiral and America's "sweetheart" Katie (Eva Braun) Couric. I heard it was outrageous. Was not able to view this and I want this for my files. Any ideas?

December 28, 2002 President Bartlet, Please Take Me BackBy FRANK LUNTZ cLEAN, Va. -- There is a small, humorless segment of conservative society that is now convinced more than ever that NBC's "The West Wing" is a plot, a weekly Hollywood conspiracy to overturn the electoral outcome of 2000. I should know. In 2001, I joined Marlin Fitzwater and Peggy Noonan as one of three consultants hired to provide a conservative perspective to the show's writers. Then, in the summer of this year, all three of us were dumped. To conservatives, it was proof that "The West Wing" hates...

The open letter signed by actors Mike Farrell, Martin Sheen and more than 100 of their Tinsel Town pals asking President Bush to back down on Iraq, angered one North Carolina woman so much that she launched an online petition to counter their influence and to let Sheen know that he's not the commander in chief, even though he plays one on TV. more...

"The West Wing" has been having its problems lately, with ratings down 20 percent overall and even more among young viewers. Industry wags have a bunch of theories for the decline of NBC's White House drama: lackluster plots, no romantic storylines for Rob Lowe's character, competition from other networks, and so on. Caryn James, the eminent New York Times media critic, even proclaimed Wednesday that " 'The West Wing' jumped the shark." She's wrong. All those theories are wrong. The ratings aren't down because of plotlines or because the show has jumped the shark. They're down because "The West Wing"...
