#1 Vanessa believes in human rights for everyone except Jews, Israelis and the right wing.

#3 Actress Vanessa Redgrave, her brother and the father of a Guantanamo detainee on Saturday launched a new political party devoted to human rights.

And uhhh, what kind of influence is this party going to have away from British soil other than just making noise?

#4 This is the kind of thing that can happen to dhimmies if they don't get laid and die, to go to heaven as virgins in waiting. It is very sad.

#5 Too many double negatives, what I meant was that if a dhimmie gal gets laid and lives, this could happen to her, too. Hope that is clearer.

#6 I hope everyone here realizes that the Redgraves don't give a damm about human rights or gitmo detainees. These people are hardcore extreme Marxists. Smash the capitalist system revolutionary types who would happily hang 90% of RB regulars from lamp-posts given the opportunity and without regard for our 'human rights'.

#7 And who does she thinks she is? What are the singular merits she has? What makes her think she is superor to us the unamashed masses? The fact she was reasonably pretty and slept with the right people, is it that?

#8 As I said elsewhere, I miss times not too long ago when actors were considered on one step above societal level than gypsy brigands.

And let's not forget the fact that the actors in theatres (as opposed to movie *'s) had to memorize the whole play, word for word. No multiple takes.

I worked in a theater for a while as technician. The actors had really good memory, being trained in remembering. But most of them had a composite personality that was a parcel of their professional deformation.

Movie stars, are trained to render discrete pieces of a story line. No one can convince me that it does not reflect back on their mental faculties. The apparent abiltity of actors to render cognitive dissonant snippets without a flinch or any awareness of some fault in the logic is a point in my case.

#9 More on Redgrave here,here, and here.

I used to be a member of Amnesty International and sometimes I feel like an ex boyfriend breathing a sigh of relief I no longer have anything to do with those losers.

#10 Vanessa has long been a true believer and whacka-mole for the Paleos. Years and years ago, it killed her career, and soon after she was videod proudly dancing around a fire with an AK and a checkered head scarf--like in the 1970s. I don't even think the Paleos want much to do with her, as that degree of fanaticism scares everybody but suicide bombers.

As usual, my firend, you have gotten it exactly right.

#12 Vanessa who? I thought she died a long time ago of old age. I'd say she's senile - but apparently she was always this stupid.

#13 And who does she thinks she is? What are the singular merits she has?

Why, she's an actress. This is her yearly 'political statement'.

Now , Vanessa, get back to Beverly Hills before your ~~servants~~ family misses you.

#14 "Guantanamo Bay is not a detention centre, it is a concentration camp." - Redgrave.

This is the kind of gross exaggeration the left is well known for. They are like children, seeing who can yell the loudest in the playground.
