“well organized and aggressive efforts to make life very difficult for celebrities who speak out against the war.”

I can't help but wonder why it is that, whenever average Americans speak out against an injustice, the press collectively labels and dismisses these voices as a vast right-winged conspiracy?

the supposedly “well organized and aggressive efforts to make life very difficult for celebrities who speak out against the war.”

It's funny how this works, Peter. I'm just a working smoo, and my paycheck is not dependent upon what millions of Americans think of me, just my bosses. Now, someone becomes a celebrity making millions of dollars, namely because millions of Americans are willing to pay money because of what they think of that person's singing or acting. Now, that person goes BEYOND singing and acting and makes a political statement that deeply bothers millions of people who in the past PAID MONEY to that person. Should they just keep on supporting that person's lavish lifestyle? Should they basically somehow be COMPELLED to keep sending their hard-earned money to a person they now dislike? How ELSE, Peter, would you make a celebrity immune from the consequences of their actions?

The liberal mantra reaches new levels of absurdity with each passing day.

What a bunch of whiners. They can be aggressive as they want in their language to the President, but they don't like it when people speak back to them.

Hey Kristinn!! Peter Jennings is contemplating you for being "well-organized." I'm beginning to think this year's White House Correspondent's Dinner will just be a series of compliments to you!

On Pierre Jennings.

Jenning is a HS dropout making him acceptable to ABC News


Jennings lies routinely about the USA when he is not giving out critical troop locations.
FREED IRAQI'S CHEERING CHAMPIONS OF FREEDOM WHO ARRIVED


Click picture for more Information


Near Baghdad, Iraq, heroic Marines secure a key bridge.
Could the wall be evidence of another Saddam/terrorist link to
Disney, ABC and Pierre Jennings? Inquiring minds want to know more.


So who (other than the AntiAmerican Disney and ABC) likes Jennings?

Terrorist Ashwari and Terrorist (and serial murderer of Americans and children) Abu Arafat:
"In our opinion, the best reporter on American foreign policy is
our beloved Canadian Abu Jennings,
who took the time to sleep with us.
Like us, he hates America. He is a Canadian Palestinian."

Hollywood is simply reacting how a child reacts when they have been demonstably proven wrong. They were wrong, and Bush was right. It is just that simple and they can't deal with it, so they are throwing a temper tantrum.

The celebs problem and the problem of all those who express an opinion different from the prevailing wisdom is celebs insist that they are the righteous voices and you had better listen and change your attitude. I heard a protester on the tube state that his opinion was reaching people with closed minds and it was his duty to enlighten them.

THAT is why the celebs are a royal pain. Not because they protest, not because they have the media to use as their personal communications, but because they actually believe that because they think it, it is the ONLY way to think.

Hypocrites, liars, pompous useful idiots all....

You couldn't tie me a seat to watch Sarandon. The indignation of these fools is the key to my absolute loathing of them.

NO one is stopping them from talking. They can rant on and on. We'll just keep REACTING. It's up to them to decide if what they say is worth what they lose.

Now that's not fair to pick on the fair-haired Canadian boy. He is a sensitive and in touch guy. Why...I remember how he shed tears when Algore gave his concession speech. We should handle this sensitive man with kid gloves... barf!

"We are fighting, we are fighting for freedom for the Iraqi people right now, so that they can have the freedom of speech, yet we are telling our own citizens that they have to be quiet at home, that they have to acquiesce to this president in a time of war.

No, we're not saying you have to acquiesce, we're saying to shut up because we're sick of listening to your drivel. What part of "We don't like you" don't you understand?

Where is the outcry when the lefties try to shout down Clarence Thomas and other conservatives who are invited to speak at various fora? Those folks don't even get the chance to talk in the first place. Now, those same lefties whine about being criticized for the content of what they say. What a bunch of hypocrites.

The well organized and aggressive efforts by the Left against Dr. Laura, John Rocker, and Trent Lott has gone unnoticed by Petah.

Someone needs to suppy the obligatory photo of Jennings and Robbins french kissing each other while Susan holds a banner proclaiming solidarity with Saddam and Chiraq.
