Attention!

Our troops give so much of themselves, and we all benefit from their efforts.

The next time you look at your bank balance, why not find some way to take some money and put it towards supporting the members of our armed services in some way? Maybe find a family who has someone serving, and buy them dinner, or some groceries, or a gift for their children? Maybe find a way to contribute to a fund for the memory of any of those who have fallen? Our armed forces deserve our support in tangible ways.

Hmmmm, do I smell a law suit coming on?

Defamation of character or something like that?

No one's impeding their freedom of speech. It's clear to all involved that they haven't shut up for weeks. We are just exercising our Consitutional right to scorn their half-baked ideas.

"It is using what power it has to infringe upon my rights of free speech with the hope to intimidate millions of others who disagree with our president," Robbins said in a stinging riposte.

Somehow, despite an excellent performance in Shawshank Redemption, he just doesn't seem to be able to pull off the victim role in real life. He's better when someone else is writing the lines.

So, the Hollywood left finally understand that misuse of a public forum isn't right. Hmmmmmm, do you think they might get the connection? They've been using EVERY public forum for months and they scream bloody murder just because the rest of us are sick to death of hearing about it.

Who gave them the right to demand they be invited to a private place?

"I was dismayed that the Baseball Hall of Fame decided to use this event to make a political statement," Robbins, 44, said in a statement in which was supported by his pal and "Bull Durham" co-star Kevin Costner (news).

hey..don't THEY have free speech too, Tim?

[Reaganwuzthebest]

US actor Tim Robbins (news) said that Baseball's Hall of Fame had violated his freedom of expression by scrapping a screening of one of his movies because he publicly criticized the US-led war in Iraq

Why does Robbins have a right to his free speech but the Baseball Hall of Fame doesn't? Not showing the movie is their way of disagreeing with him.

Sounds like a typical liberal to me.

"I think Tim and Susan's courage is the type of courage that makes our democracy work,"

How can it be construed as courage if the only consequence of exercising your free speech is a drop in popularity -- and then you try to protest even that? What whiners!

[IronJack]

media speculation is rife over whether high-profile anti-war activists will be punished by Hollywood for views that some Americans feel are unpatriotic.

I don't think Hollywood should punish them. I think that pleasure should be reserved for the people they've offended. Any gesture Hollywood makes would be done for strictly business reasons. Who needs 'em?

"I was dismayed that the Baseball Hall of Fame decided to use this event to make a political statement," Robbins, 44, said in a statement

Was he equally dismayed when Moore used the Oscar ceremony?

keep this nation a place where one can freely express their opinion without fear of reprisal or punishment,"

Unreal. Sure, it's okay for dr. laura to get thrown off the air, but when Robbins gets disinvited from the Baseball hall of fame, all of a sudden he thinks the KGB is knocking at his door...

[Scothia]

Haven't liked Robbins or Costner and never could stand Sarandon. She's the only actress I know who could make Marmee March smug.

I think TR & SS are using this to shore up their sagging careers. When the box office drops next time, they'll say it was because we persecuted them. Despicable.

[smith288]

Tim tim tim...

Freedom of speech has no quarentees of being accepted. No govt involvement Timmy... Its all private orgs and people voicing their displeasure with your harboring views of Saddam.

[Ol' Sparky]

Where was Robbins and his cronies when Major League Baseball punished John Rocker for expressing himself?

[judgeandjury]

The Hall of Fame's move "dishonors the words 'patriotism' and 'freedom' and disrespects the men and women who have fought wars to keep this nation a place where one can freely express their opinion without fear of reprisal or punishment," he (Robbins) said.

Yes, without fear of reprisal or punishment from our government, not from your fellow citizens, you lame-brained Liberal.

"It is using what power it has to infringe upon my rights of free speech with the hope to intimidate millions of others who disagree with our president," Robbins said...

SOS by the same SOSH...don't they just love the sound of their whiny voices? Guess they can't handle the fact that most everybody is GD tired of their crap...oh well.

And just where did this pinhead complain that he had been denied his freedom of speech? From behind a podium at the National Press Club. Oh, yes, you and I get our turns at the podium and massive press coverage all the time.
