Hey, who is this clever girl? Absolutely love what you did here, whoever you are. I marched with my african drum at both LA on Sat and SF on Sun, and yours is one of the most striking costumes I saw all weekend. Very, very cool. Power to the people! ---Alec in OC, folkrocker/activist

Very clever costume, I bet the bloody tear is for the Iraqis and the chains around liberty represent Saddam's chains on liberty within Iraq....nah, she couldn't be that deep...it's probably only a shallow attempt to show how liberty is encased in chains in the USA...right.
Here's a great picture of some street protests in Iraq. Oh wait, these people weren't even protesting.

You rate woman on a numerical scale? I didn't know you could count that high. Just a little hint, after six comes the number seven. Even if you,Reagan,and the grand wizard of "Compassionate Conservatism" George(Gee This Presidential Thingy Is Tough,Life Was Easier When I Was Tooting Up) Bush got together and used all the remaining digits that haven't fallen off from scratching the tops of your heads in modern day confusion, counting to ten would be a miracle. You probably think Nancy Reagan, with that Dr.Sardonicus look, is quite fetching.

I seem a sign that has a natzi symbol, How dare any American compare Bush to a Natzi, Remeber His Father fought against them and was shot down. Bush is really a good man a Man that does care about life and liberty. I believe if you protest America than you sapport Saddam. GUT check you have a Gun loaded, you have Bush and Saddam who would you shoot. Of course Saddam he is a murdurer and a sadistic dictator. Why would you protest this great country. Who do you you think you are. When I see an Actor in a Fox hole in a uniform, like the one I wore in Desert Storm than maybe I will here there un educated voices. You may be able to act like a soldier, but you will never know the heart of a Soldier.

Bush is Hitler. That's ripe.
That's got to be one of the funniest ones on here in a long time, and the "evidence" they use in order to justify their belief of it is even more so. It's like the "Six Steps To Kevin Bacon" game, only the subject is a lot less threatening. Too bad we don't know who the 44th President is going to be so they can get a head start on connecting him or her to Hitler. Good chance that "evidence" is be "compliled" on those who are likely candidates to actually become #44 and that the ground work is now being laid so that when the time comes they can site "sources" to make their case. Gotta stay ahead of the curve in the connect-the-unrelated-dots biz.
Thank you for this and keep the humor rolling.

Please get your shit straight. Prescott Bush, G.W.'s grandfather, sold arms to Hitler and helped build Aucshwitz, you can check that in any newpaper archive, I fucking dare ya. On top of that, he sent his son to fight in Japan, to avoid embarrassment when the country tried, and convicted him for selling arms to the enemy. In essence, G.W. is the grandson of a 1940's John Walker Lindh with much, much more power. And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as far as tracing who sold Sadam arms, these people care nothing for America, they care only for money. I wouldn't say this if it were not true, but I have checked the facts, and this is something I cannot abide by.

You movies actors take yourself too serious. Wish I could say that I would withhold my support and monies but you never had them in the first place. I personally consider your "exercising your freedom of speech" as a form of treason..giving aid and comfort to the enemy.Notice that the ambassor from Irac actually thanked you for the support. It amazes me that at a time like this that you would choose to give the benefit of the doubt to a dictator than to the President of this country. God save our country.

WELL THEN YOU ARE AN IDIOT...THEY TELL YOU WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO HEAR. ..IF YOU BELIEVE THESE OVERPAID, ARROGANT HOLLYWOOD MOVIE STARS WHO PROTEST OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR MILITARY.....THEN YOU ARE AN IDIOT....SADDAM IS AN EVIL MAN WHO HAS KILLED HIS OWN PEOPLE FOR HIS BENEFIT, RAPED WOMEN AND TORTURED CHILDREN FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT...THIS MAN DOENT CARE WHETHER HIS PEOPLE LIVE OR DIE AS LONG AS HIMSELF AND HIS IMMEDIATE STAFF ARE TAKEN CARE OF. IF HE IS TO BE LEFT ALONE YOU CAN REST ASSURED YOUR SAFETY WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED IN THIS COUNTRY AS SADDAM AND OTHERS IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD HATE AMERICANS AND EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR.....9/11 WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF DOING...FRANCE AND GERMANY DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN THIS IS WHY THEY WILL NOT STAND UP AND FIGHT AGAINST HIM, THEY HAVE SUPPLIED IRAQ WITH THE TOOLS TO MAKE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. DO YOU HONESTLY THINK IF WE DO NOT STOP HIM OUR CHILDREN WILL HAVE A SAFE COUNTRY TO GROW UP IN?? WAR IS NOT AN EASY DECISION AND PRESIDENT BUSH AND OTHERS HAVE GIVEN SADDAM SEVERAL CHANCES TO DISARM...HE REFUSES AND HIDES HIS WEAPONS....OUR MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE GULF IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE VERY FREEDOMS YOU PEOPLE EXCERCISE WHEN YOU DISRESPECT AND SPIT ON OUR MILITARY AND OUR GOVERNMENT....THE IRAQI PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY THEY DEMONSTRAIT AND PROTEST WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DEMONSTRAIT AND PROTEST AGAINST.

Look at what the Iraqi people say that live here now and used to live in iraq. They left there for a reason and want there families to be safe like they are now. They agree that we should be there and need to take care of business. You people protesting have no idea what you are protesting against, you have no facts to back up your protesting. It sounds to me like it is the cool thing to do. I would bet you my life that if there was a terrorist incident in hollywood that all the actors would very quickly change their view and would be upset that something did not happen sooner. Get off the band wagon and find out the facts for yourself. If you actually did true research and looked into it you would find out that Julie is right. France and Germany are in business with Iraq and a war with Iraq means no more money for them. Then the general public would find out what those countries have been selling to the Iraqis. The majority of you protesters, only get bits and pieces of the story, hear what you want to hear, only hear a one sided story from the protesters view, or just want to be cool and jump on the bandwagon because some celeb said so. I do not know about you but most celebs don't have a clue about world politics and issues, they just need to jump start a failing career for some publicity. If these actors really cared they did they would quit acting and become politicians to make a true diferance or change things. (yes there are actor/politicians out there but they have not spoken out have they?) Most of what I have read on this web page is just a bunch of rude insults, no one with any real views or facts. It sounds like a bunch of junior high kids having it out trying to sound smart. Don't waste anyones time with trash talking If you have something good to say with actual facts BRING IT ON I can back up what I am talking about.

I have several friends and family members that boycotted watching the Academy Awards, thank God WE have our priorities straight!

Thus, you may want to rally around your leader while you still have a chance. You must put party politics aside and become the strong, moral country you can be and wipe out the Islamic terrorists who hate and envy you. I think you have become spoiled and do not realize that the world is violent and only the omnipotent and just will prevail. Bush, with all his faults, has chosen a just cause.

I spent some time with a group of gentleman as a study. All of these men were from different parts of the middle east. All in different status from High ranking officers in there milatary to goverment officals. They have seen and lived with the beliefs of what the Muslim religion teach. They took me all the way back to Muhammad bin Qusim in 712 Ad all the way to 1947 when Pakistan came to be right up to today. The religion has been violent from day one. It is the only religion that teaches it's people to kill non-belivers. To a extreme muslim, if you do not belive, you are an infindel and must be killed. They told me that America is the only force that could stop people like Saddam and Osama and that it had to be done and that they agree with President Bush and respect him. They all agreed that it had to be done soon before the followers were too big of a force to be stoped by any one nation. They also all agreed that if Saddam or Osama could, they would kill every single person including children on this planet who is not a Muslim. While i realize and was reminded that not all Muslims are as extreme. So it comes to this... The hollywood group is at it again Holding anti-war rallies,screaming about the Bush Administration,running ads in newspapers,defaming the President and his cabinet every chance they get, to anyone who will listen. They publicly defile them and call them names like stupid, morons,and idiots. Jessica Lange went as far as to say she was embarrassed to be an American. So, just how ingorant are these people running the country? Let's look at the biographies of these stupid, ignorant leaders and then the celebrities who are castigating them.
President George W Bush: Recieved a Bachelors Degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvord Business School. He served as an F-102 pilot for the Texas Air National Guard. He was elected Governor on November 8, 1994 with a 53.5 percent of the vote. In a historic re-election victory, he became the first Governor to be elected to consecutive four-year terms on November 3, 1998 winning 68.6 percent of the vote. In 1998 Governor Bush won 49 percent of the hispanic vote, 27 percent of the African-American vote, 27 percent of Democrats and 65 percent of women. He won more counties, 240 of 254 than any other Governor besides Richard Nixon and is the first Republican gubernatorial candidate to win the heavily Democratic border counties of El Paso, cameron and Hidalgo. (Someone began circulating a false story about his I.Q being lower than any other President. If you belive that you might want to go to URBANLEGENDS.COM and find out the truth.

Im just trying to figure out how all these celebrities and seems to be very uneducated people have all this inside information?? Who are these people? What is there education? What is their experience in affairs of State or in National Security? While i and our brave men and women who are proudly fighting for these people to express their opinions do belive they have the right. I think that if they are going to call into question the intelligence of our leaders, we should also have the facts on their educations and experience in Global and National affairs.
Barbra Striesand: Completed High School - Career Singing and acting Cher: Dropped out of High School in the 9 th grade - Career Singing and acting Martin Sheen: Flunked exam to enter University of Dayton - Career Acting Jessica Lange Dropped out of college mid freshman year - Career Acting Alec Baldwin Dropped out of George Washington Univ - Career Acting Julia Roberts Completed high School - Career Acting Sean Penn Completed high school - Career - Acting Susan Sarandon Degree in DRAMA - Career Acting Ed Asner Completed High school - career Acting George Clooney Dropped out of Univ of Kentuckey Career - Acting Michael Moore Dropped out of first year Univ of Michigan - Career Director Sarah Jessica Parker Completed High school - Career- Acting Jennifer Anniston Completed High school - Career Acting Mike Farrell Completed High school - Career Acting Janeane Garofelo Dropped out of collage - Career Stand up comedienne Larry Hagaman attended Bard collage for one year - Career Acting The list goes on and on........... These celebrities have no intelligence - gathering agents, no fact finding groups, no insight into the minds of those who would destroy our country. They only have a deep seated hatred for all things Republican. By nature, and no one knows quite why. The Hollywood elitists detest Consertive views and anything that supports or uplifts the United States. The silence was deafening from the left when Bill Clinton bommed a pharmaceutical factory outside Khartoum, or when he attacked the Bosnian Serbs in 1995 and 1999. He bomed Serbia itself to get Slobodan Milosevic out of Kosovo, and not a single peace ralley was held in Hollywood. When our Rangers were ambushed im Somalia and 18 young Amereican lives were lost, not a peep was heard from Hollywood. Yet not after our nation has been attacked on its own soil, after 3,000 Americans were killed by freedom hating terrorists while going about their routine lives, they want to hold rallies against the war. Why the change? Just becuse a Republican is in the White House. The same argument keeps coming up now, (Saddam had no ties with Osama!!) well if you listen to something besides CNN there is evidence of this. Another is (Where's the WMD's) This guy has had 10 years to sink bunkers in the vast dessert. You can't really belive that he just said (ok i give up i'll get rid of my weapons) Please. If we are to belive the word of a man that did unspeakable things to his own people, then we are truly sittings ducks.
Another irony is that in 1987, when Ronald Regan was in office, the Hollywood group aligned themselves with disarmament groups like SANE, FREEZE and PEACE ACTION, urging our own goverment to disarm. In order to promote world peace. It is courious that now, even when we know that Saddam has used chemical weapons and was trying to optain neuclear weapons, there was no cry from Hollywood for Saddam to disarm. They belived we should just have left him alone in his quest for these weapons even though it was certian sooner or later they would find there way to our city's and make 9/11 look like a walk in the park. Once again if we are to belive that would'nt have happend then we are truly sitting ducks. Why didn't Saddam use WMD's in the initial invasion? Well we can start with (1) There was writted documents from Russia, France and Germany stating they would disconnect all ties with Saddam should he use anything but conventional weapons. I'm sure you can still find this on the Drudge report. (2) Saddam was told should he use WMD'S that a nuclear attack would be used. Therefor he would no longer have an impire to fall back on. His only hope was for his allies (in witch they had investmints with Saddam) would stop the invasion. Should anyone want to detest any of this information feel free to investigate and gather information on this such as i have for the last year.
So why the hype out of Hollywood? Could these celebrities belive that since they draw such astronomical salaries, they are intitled to also determine the corse of our Nation? That they can make a viable decisions concerning war and peace? Did Micheal Moore have the backing of the Nation when he thanked France? Does Sean Penn fancy himself a Diplomat (or just a DIP) in going to Iraq when we were just weeks away from war? Does he belive that his High School Diploma gives him the knowlage to go to a country that is controlled by a maniacal dictator, and speak on behalf of the American people? Or is it the fact that he pulls in more money in one year that the average American worker will see in a lifetime ( the arogance is astrronomical) Does his bank account or the fact that he has played in a few movies give him clout? It's all truly amazing!!!!
The ultimate irony is that many of these celebrities have made a shambles of their own lives, with drug abuse, alcoholism, numerous marriages and divorces, scrapes with the law, publicized temper tantrums, exc. How dare they pretend they know whats best for an entire nation!! What is even more bizzarre is how many people will listen and accept their views, simpley becuse they liked them in a certian movie, or have fond memories of an old t.v sitcom.
It is time for us as citizens of the nation to educate ourselves about the world around us. If future generations are going to enjoy the freedoms that our forefathers bequeathed us, if they are ever to know peace in their country and their world, to live without fear of terrorism striking in their cities, we must assure that this nation remains strong. We must make certian that those who would destroy us are made aware of the severe consequences that will befall them.
Yes it is a wonderfull dream to sit down with dictator and terrorists and join hands, singing Cumbaya and talking of world peace. We did not stop Adolf Hitler from taking over the entire continent of Europe by simply talking to him. We sent our best and bravest that this country is known for. President John F Kennedy did not stop the Soviet ships from unloading their neclear missiles in Cuba in 1962 with words. He stopped them with action, and the threat of immediate war if the ships did not turn around. We did not end the cold war with conferences. It ended with the strong belief of President Ronald Reagan.....PEACE through STRENGTH.

"bommed" should be spelled "Bombed". "dessert" is something you eat. "Desert" is a place with very little water. "impire" should be spelled "empire" if you want to have any credibility with me, a high school graduate who takes care to spell things as correctly as possible. If you dig a little past your current sources you may find that Hussein's earlier actions were sanctioned by our government in a similar fashion to Panama's Manuel Noriega. Did you listen to the Iran Contra hearings and read between the lines? Try to dig a little deeper.
