#1 They have the right to their own opinions just as we do. But unfortunately there are people in this country that assume that just because Cher or George or Oliver Stone or some other rich spoiled Hollywood asshole has an opinion about something their opinion is worth more than the opinion of the average man on the street. Well I hate to tell them this but it ain't.

#2 It is really good to see self censorship coming to Hollywood moonbat political discourse. They are so out of step, even they've figured out its affecting the bottom line. Now if it could start being reflected on the screen as well.

#3 Watch it there, Clooney! Looks like you're "supressing dissent"!
And I'd know because I was in that Oliver Stone epic "JFK". Available in DVD and VHS...

#5 Don't do it George! Please inform America of every golden thought nugget that comes into your pretty little head. Tell us more fascinating news that there are no muslim terrorists, only Texas cowboy terrorists that want to take away your girlfriends/one-night-stands right to abortion. Tell us of your concern for the downtrodden as you fly in your private jet to meet with your tax lawyers. Scream at the top of your lungs about Bush's fascist police state and the oppression you suffer when the "Little People" laugh in your face and ignore your movies. Please George, don't deny America your college dropout brilliance. Entertainment Tonight is counting on you.

#6 Every comment from Babble - errr - Babs makes the rest of humanity appear that much smarter. I love it when Hollywood has-beens open they're pie hole and let us know what they think..

#8 We thought that the conservative view was, Witches should be burned at the stake.' Moderate view was: 'Well, just in case,' and the liberal view was, 'There's no such thing as witches.'

So liberals don't engage in witch hunts or cruelly scapegoat the innocent, eh? Three words for you Clooney, you damned hypocrite: Californiaâs gun owners

Or we could just go with one: the unborn

#10 Ok, hold on. Clooney, you self-righteous ass, I just thought of some more minorities that have been witch-hunted by liberals. To be honest the list is kind of damn huge. Try out white South Africans, Korean grocery store owners, Mormons, Evangelical Christians, conservative Catholics, all white Southerners who aren't Democrats, all black Southerners who donât do what the various âReverendsâ tell them, and everyone who lives in "fly over" country. Why donât you simply admit that you hate everyone, black, white, or Hispanic, that speaks with a Southern, Midwestern, or Western accent and isnât a hot chick?

How about the Boy Scouts? Traditional father-mother-child family units? Rural Americans? The Rural English, for that matter. Republicans who live in âblueâ states? People who belong to the NRA? How about American home owners, you pathetic moron? Have âliberalsâ or their ilk ever persecuted or discriminated against any of these people, you despicable Hollywood twit?

And, of course, every Jew who doesnât bend their knee to political correctness and cower in the face of Islam. You Hollywood idiots are extra special tolerant of them, arenât you?

End Rant.

#13 Better check the voting record for Civil Rights Georgie boy. Guess who voted against and guess who voted for.

This is a tired urban myth. Lots of Dems voted against civil rights. Very few of them were liberal Dems. The big civil rights moves in the '60's (voting rights, public accomodations, affirmative action) were joint productions from liberal Dems and liberal GOP over the objection of conservatives from both parties sometimes from bigotry, and sometimes from constitutional principle (Goldwater, etc.).

Over the last 40 years the conservative Dems and liberal GOP have either retired, gotten voted out or switched parties with the exception of the occasional Lincoln Chafee or Bob "Kleagle" Byrd. Sticking the current Dems with responsibility for the segregationists of 1880 to the 60's is MSM level (dis) honesty.
