I love this country and have leftist leanings....see, I love America for this great freedom we have called Freedom Of Speech, maybe you and the rest of the knuckle scraping unibrow types need to learn that...I love how you think because you paid more for your flag at Wal-Mart (that was probably made in Taiwan anyways) you represent America...
in America, we all have this right to freedom of speech...right, left, middle, whatever...whether that speech is moronic or not is beside the point...anyone can defend popular speech....

so, who's the biggest sheep....those who actually speak their mind...or those who spout patriotic ramblings fed to them on country radio stations and conservative talkradio programs......

sheep aren't right or left...they're just easily led and fed.....

I could care less if they give him another oscar or take the one he has away. I wonder how he got oscar for a
documentary when Bowling for Columbine was not a documentary. I saw the Lew Dobbs interview on CNN and fat ass
Moore said it was a Comedy. So how do you get an oscar for a documentary when the person that made it SAID it
was a comedy. So I protest the oscars.

His book is number three this week on the New York Times bestseller list and it has been on the list, mostly in the top 10, often at number one, for 53 weeks.

That list only includes people in American, not France. :1orglaugh

Cry "sheep" all you want, but these views no less valid than any other. Liberals attempt to invalidate a whole class of speech just because it mirrors those reflected on "country radio stations" or "conservative talkradio programs." Somehow, all independent thought must be automatically bypassed if people agree with these "patriotic ramblings."

The bias and arrogance to suggest that people with these views don't actually "speak their mind" is astonishing. This is what we see all the time from Hollywood people like Moore, Sarandon and Robbins.

I agree, all views are valid and I was using country radio, etc. as an example...but have you been to a country music concert lately? have you ever spoken to some of these types? they are just as much sheep as those who would listen to Susan Sarandon and automaticallt parrot what she says....both sides have their sheep...

So, is it any less arrogant to suggest that "Hollywood types" have opinions that are less valuable than Rush Limbaugh?

I agree both right and left have their share of sheep and idiots....

and I'll defend to the death BOTH sides' rights to their speech...

I know
the right always argues that "Hollywood Elite" is bad and evil
the left always argues that "country folk and dittoheads" are bad and evil...

but, what makes this country so fucking great is that both sides have equal rights to freedom of speech....
er, are supposed to anyways...

How many of you in this thread have seen it and was it before or after the award?

I saw it before.

No. We both agree on this. I just thought your example appeared one-sided.

How about some grammys? Can we revoke those too?

nofx 04-20-2003 04:50 PM

bowling for columbine was a great documentary, revoke anything that eminem won.

NetRodent 04-20-2003 05:37 PM

Its funny how this is really just a debate about political correctness with the roles reversed. I hope each side likes the taste of its own medicine.

Rictor 04-20-2003 06:04 PM

I knew these people were idiots as soon as I heard they actually watched the Academy Awards.

So he is anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-establishment. Big deal. Lot's of Americans are. No need for a witch hunt. If you hate his guts, don't give him any press.

I have no problem with what he said, I do have a problem with him hijacking the event for his own purpose. That's what annoys me most. I could careless about his point of view, it's his right to have it and voice it. But, like I said it's the "event hijackers" that piss me off.

Sarah_Jayne 04-21-2003 01:14 AM

hope you boycott any movie Marlon Brando has done too or perhaps Richard Gere (though I would support that one). He wasn't the first to make his award a political one and frankly he would have been a wimp and out of character if he hasn't said something.
