Pressure is growing for the president to lose his job because of his uncompromising stance on the war. That's President Bartlet, as played by Martin Sheen in the hit television series, The West Wing. Sheen has been a leading figure in the anti-war movement, addressing rallies and spearheading the "virtual march" on Washington last week in which legislators were deluged with a million emails, phone calls and faxes. NBC is under pressure to sack him from its show or face a boycott or withdrawal of advertising. Sheen said the channel's executives had indicated that his high profile could damage the...

Setting the Record Straight By Christopher Westland Those on the left insist they have the A.N.S.W.E.R. for all of us. But the veneer of their thought process has worn extremely thin, along with the patience of most rational minds. It's not an exaggeration to say that anti-Americanism has been the main marching tune of the modern left for decades. Almost uniformly, they insist that America, her competitive private corporations, and the capital system are evil. But the left has conveniently exempted the nationalized corporations of socialist states and third world dictators — the true monopolies of the world. Pretending...

Actor Martin Sheen says he's received an avalanche of hate mail and has been accosted on the street for his public stance against the war on Iraq. The star of NBC's "West Wing" program also believes network executives are concerned that his outspoken views may harm viewership of his show. In a report in today's Los Angeles Times, Sheen claims critics have demanded NBC fire him. The show's staff has been "100 percent supportive," but top network executives have "let it be known they're very uncomfortable with where I'm at" on the war, he said. Sheen also told the Times...

Web users protest celeb activism Mon Feb 24, 2:47 AM ET By Paul Bond LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) --- If Sean Penn (news), Mike Farrell (news), Martin Sheen (news) and other celebrity activists are interested in what the masses think of their noisy antiwar activism, they might want to surf the Internet -- though they probably won't like what they read. Internet bloggers are mostly denouncing the celebrity activists, and some are even calling for boycotts of movies and TV shows featuring specific actors. One angry Internet surfer even advocates a boycott of Blockbuster and Wal-Mart for daring to...

We the undersigned American Citizens stand against Wealthy Hollywood Celebrities abusing their status to speak for us. We do not believe that they have a clear understanding of how we live, what we fear, and what we support. We believe that celebrities Martin Sheen, Mike Farrell, Tim Robbins, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, and others with them are using their celebrity to interfere with the defense of our country. We believe that Hollywood Celebrities use their wealth to make their own personal issues known while Americans would never have the resources to speak out in this manner. We support President Bush...

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...
