Thanks for the great photos on this page. I was there today and had to leave after about an hour and a half. Loved the pics!!!

heh heh

:-)

Nice pictures. Thanks!

Great pictures and thank to everyone who was there opposing evil CNN. Sadly, I couldn't be there.

I bet everyone and their mothers have already linked to this Guardian article, but it should be linked to again.

http://media.guardian.co.uk/iraqandthemedia/story/0,12823,919382,00.html?=rss

CNN is not a conservative news outlet. In fact, for eight million Americans last Wednesday, the plurality of the television audience who tuned into FOX news, CNN was clearly too progressive a voice. I do not know why you have directed your anger towards CNN. It's your ally, my anti-war friends.

Interesting cite to the article about CNN getting kicked out of Baghdad. It's always exciting when p"civil rights" rotesters get enthusiastic over the pronouncements of totalitarian dictatorships.

Keep it up. Your extreme views guarantee a George Bush presidency until January 20, 2009.

thanks for these pictures - the march looks much more civilised than that that took place in brussels.

It has people who think and listen then act.
Are our numbers are growing.
Real Americans who can smell shit without having their
face rubbed in it.

I have noticed a couple of glaring contradictions in the way the corporate mass media are covering this war. With constant repetition, they portray the missiles and bombs which are striking Baghdad as precise, satellite-guided weapons that invariably strike their targets within a few feet of intended impact, causing very few civilian casualties. If these missiles are so accurate, why did several of them veer way off course and hit Iran?

Donald Rumsfeld has stated that Iraqi television showing the captured American soldiers is a violation of the Geneva Convention. I noticed that American television is showing pictures of the captured Iraqi soldiers. What's the difference? Also, the United States is really in violation of the Geneva Convention for torturing Afghan prisoners at Bagram air base in Afghanistan and keeping the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba shackled and hooded. Denial of sunlight and sleep leads to severe mental problems and is a terrible form of torture.

CNN, MSNBC, and Fox are treating this war more like a gigantic fireworks display than as something which causes intense human suffering. During the Vietnam War, there were courageous journalists who showed the reality of that war-the children running with napalm burning their flesh, the huts burning, the My Lai massacre and the fear and anger on people's faces. Not any more. Grenada, Panama, the first Persian Gulf war, Yugoslavia and now this war against Iraq have all been very controlled, sanitized versions of the reality of war. One sees maps and discussions with generals and military analysts about strategy and tactics. There are other discussions about the intricacies of all the various weapons systems. No opponents of the war are allowed to question its morality or the possible economic and political reasons for it. If pictures of wounded Iraqi children are shown, there are always commentators there questioning whether these aren't fictitious creations of Iraqi propaganda.

Then, there is the rampant lying that always accompanies war. How many times have I heard that Umm Oasr, Nasiriya and Basra have been captured, only to later find out that fierce fighting was still going on there? Neither side tells the truth about casualties. I heard a story that the Republican Guard is using civilians as human shields. Do they really need to do this? Those Iraqi parents who have lost children by the thousands to sanctions and cancers from depleted uranium are certainly angry enough to fight themselves. I am confident that after the conclusion of this war, weapons of mass destruction will suddenly be "discovered" so that they can adequately justify this mass destruction of Iraqi civilization.

CNN is immediately calling every American soldier who is killed a hero, and they then conduct interviews with family members of soldiers involved in the war, showing their wives and little children. They repeatedly ran a quote by the father of a soldier who was killed saying that antiwar demonstrators could better spend their time working for charity or picking up litter. These are blatant propaganda techniques. Are the American people so anesthetized by decades of sophisticated propaganda by the mass media and in school that they simply can't visualize the motivations of the American government as being anything other than noble and protective? If so, we are going to be subject to one war after another on behalf of corporate power and control, which is what really motivates all wars of aggression by capitalist nations.

Cari amici e amiche, non vi arrendete, per favore!
La guerra è il peggiore dei mali e sarà causa di molte altre rovine.
Fermiamo la guerra! diamoci forza tutti insieme.

I'll say something about the brave men and women who are in Iraq-I want them to come home.

As a long time fan of Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder, as much for their/his polotics as the music, I am proud to see Eddie Vedder at this protest gathering. He's one guy who walks the talk. He and those like him may be in the minority, but that just makes me like him more.

I am so proud to see my favorite artist in the whole world up there with everybody else protesting this freaking war!!!
Everybody who's cheering for this war is just as much to blame as the evil government there is right now in power,for killing innocent people just to get out of the economical problems there are in this country!!!
DROP BUSH,NOT BOMBS!

Doing good. Lots of goons around though.
I would love to see any of these pro war
types do something but drive by with a garbled rant or
an unintelligible word with a finger signaling their
one working neuron.
We are braver than them. We are real.

I'm against the war. I'm not american, I live in sweden. What I CAN'T understand is why you ppl across the big Atlantic can't accept some ppl don't think like you! Why do you call eachother names and make fun of eachother. Instead be creative! Make a speach in one of those protestmarches!! Tell everyone what YOU believe in! Maybe you can convince someone else tu change sides!! "What a f***head he is" doesn't make anybody anything else but mad. Why fight amongst yourselves when your friends, your neighbours, your, sons, your fathers, your classmates are in Irak DYING!!!

Sincerely a Swedish observer.

Although small for turnout, only several hundred, Seattle's protest got a little zoo-ey with just as many cops as protesters. As in, I felt like a trapped animal just trying to walk down the sidewalk, and they had m16s while we just had signs, drums, mikes and poetry... we heard LA had a protest and cheered cuz people say LA doesn't get out there so often.

Right on LA, nice to see my favs out there walking the talk-- Eddie and Susan thanks!!!
peace
B

He's the lead singer of Pearl Jam, as everyone should know.

Why is prowar people post stupid comment?

Maybe because war=stupid

A lot of us have seen the reports of the Gulf Conflict on the news, but a lot of us have seen how some of Hollywood's Elite have acted as well.

It is too late to say ant-war protests, the war has already begun, what we all need to do now is support our troops and our allies and hope they come home safely.

The Oscars is a special moment for most Actors, Actresses and people in the Film Industry, even though there is a war going on, some of the people who were there had to make their own statements concearning the war.

It is nice being a star in Hollywood, but don't be a show off to make a statement, or be a jerk like Michael Moore, don't people realize no matter what they say, the war will not end until the Government decides it is over.

Michael Moor should be banned from attending any event because of his rude behavior and crappy movies.

When in a public place we all must be presentable and make a good impression, Michael Moore kinda reminds me of a German Dictator from WWII

Okay all of u people that r putting down Eddie Vedder have no right to because how many of you know him personally... so therefore shut the hell up and stop saying stuff about people that hav done nothing wrong to u. they hav an opinion just like u and they r entilted to theirs. if u disagree with wat they r saying then who cares u can just say that u disagree with wat THEY ARE ALL SAYING not just Eddie or Susan. so all of u get a life and grow up!!

For those of you who have no coherent thoughts and just a bunch of junior high recess insults about people who have the courage to voice their opinions about the mass slaughter of our troops that has begun and will only get worse in the coming days, I say grow up. If you have serious, thoughtful comments speak up, but the name calling just shows the lack of intelligence and maturity that you fuels your rantings.

"For What It's Worth" ~ By Buffalo Springfield

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down


Fits now just as it did all those years ago I think. I think this war is the only thing that anyone can come up with that's going to deal with this, which makes me sad. I'm proud of these people to stand up for what they think and I'm ashamed of anyone who thinks they are better off dead because they have a different opinon. And I refer to both sides of the argument.

Peace!

it's very interesting to see that all the "pro-war" people feel they must resort to petty namecalling and making fun of people they don't even know. perhaps because they HAVE NO LEGITIMATE REASON TO SUPPORT THE WAR except "it's what Big Brother told me to do" ??

peace

It is a sad thing that at a time like this, the only thing some people can comment on is how bad Susan looks, or how geeky Eddie looks. That tells me all I need to know about you. Right On Eddie! MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR!

Eddie Vedder is the lead singer of Pearl Jam. He is considered by many to be one of the best songwriters of all time. His band and others like Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains helped bring alternative music into the mainstream in the early 90s. A lot of rock bands today used Pearl Jam as a basis for their music (i.e. Creed). That's why the mid-to-late 90s was considered to be the era of the Pearl Jam clones.

Concerning the war, I think we need to take out Hussein as soon as possible as he is a threat to the rest of the world. I DO NOT believe in war though as I've had some family members die in previous wars. Unfortunately war seems to be the only answer to get rid of Hussein so I hope we get it done quickly.

Some of the posters here seem to have no idea about the war or how it started. This war is partially a cleanup of the mess we (U.S.) made years ago. We should have gotten rid of Hussein the first time. I bet some of you didn't know that the U.S. were the ones that allowed Iraq to invade Kuwait in the first place. I've even got articles and pictures of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein and pledging our support for Iraq in the early 1980s. Every country has skeletons in their closet. That's just the nature of things.

someone needs to coach eddie vedder on the proper way to draw a peace symbol. unless he's protesting in the name of mercedes benz.

brilliance abounds. don't know enough words, so you shout in all caps instead?
go out and buy a copy of riot act. read the lyrics. think about them. then read lyrics from the other pearl jam albums. then research how much money they've donated to local and global charity. research the 400,000 they raised this past december alone. then research what kind of car Ed drives - a gas guzzling Mercedes SUV? nope. wrong again. maybe you should keep in mind that he still lives in west seattle, not hollywood. in a modest house. maybe you should read about the work he and pearl jam have done for WM3. maybe you should notice that the guy wears the same damn thrift store clothes almost every day. or maybe you should just continue to lambast someone (s) you clearly know nothing about. just because someone has been successful, does not mean they have sold out. do your research.
and I suggest you do some on the true doings of our government over the past 100 years. you'll have to look deeper than your local news, but it's out there.....

a mind is like a parachute, only functions when open.

regardless of my feelings about this war and our government, I at least, know why I feel the way I do. do you????

It's exaxtly that kind of thinking that we're protesting against! The war won't end until the government wants it to? Is this not the USA? If the people speak loudly enough and clearly enough, the government has no choice but to end the war or find new jobs in 2004. The stars that didn't speak up during the oscars should be ashamed of themselves. They had a platform from which to speak for 45 seconds and most of them didn't say a damn thing and that's a damn shame. It's thanks to people like Micheal Moore and Ed Vedder, and others that the truth gets heard. I just finished Moore's latest book and maybe if some of you radicals out there would put down your copy of "The Savage Nation" and "The No Spin Zone" and actually read what you're so busy bashing you would at least have a basis to make these rediculous claims you spew out. There is no validity in your rants. Go watch some more fox news channel and drive your SUV off a cliff.

I guess you want to bash anyone who does act as you feel they should, but that's typical for the leftist. I drive an economy car and listen to Fox News. Also think that the celebirties who don't agree with you and Moore have a right not to not stand up spout what you think they should.

And the rivers shall open for the righteous
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday

I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am

Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes

And there's no turning back this time

I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...

I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...

And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party, and that is FREEDOM,
I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know

And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday

Remember Mother Teresa

And your point is????? They are great people, but their cause were different, except for one thing Human Dignity.

We have our opinions too! Listen up, it looks as though we all are having difficulty with anti-war and us pro-war protesters! Maybe we should try to get along and not get so upset! What good is it doing for our troops? Is it going to bring them back any faster? NO! Is it going to make the WAR end? NO! Let's all get a grip and just pray that our troops will come home safely and that we GET SADDAM IN THE END!

I have never heard of him personally, but I know of Pearl Jam! I'm stuck in the middle, sometimes I like the fact that we are bombing overseas, but then I fear for the outcome of all this!

I am for the WAR and I just want our troops to come home safe! I do have one question! Isn't it too late for the anti-war people to be protesting? We are already at war and that isn't going to bring the troops back to us! I was just curious! I don't mind Tim or Susan, as long as it isn't that whore lady "Jane Fonda"! I would love to have someone kick her ass!

hae=have Don't you hate it when you are trying to make a point and you fuck up the words?

I am a firm believer that everyone has a right to their own opion or belief. Leave Eddie alone, he is just standing up for something he believes in, afterall isn't that what your guys are all doing too?!

could even read let alone fight against the war! I'm impressed, even though I'm for the WAR!

Reading this posts from the pro-war supporters just made me even prouder to be against this war. I'm so glad I'm not alligned with you bumbling, incoherent, childish fools. So we're fighting for democracy in Iraq but god forbid anybody here actually express their freedom of speech - otherwise string 'em up, right? Your personal attacks (Eddie Vedder is a geek, Susan Sarandon looks old, etc.) are especially enlightening. Why don't you all crawl back into your caves. And don't worry - if you rub hard enough the red will come off your neck.

No Bush, No war "I don't question our existence, I just question our modern needs"- Pearl Jam

Thanks for the inspiration, don't listen to these idiots who claim they have never heard, they will hear this summer, see ya at the shows.

start in one week in fact, fishman!

I must say, and I am a European(no not french), that I am laughing my ass of, when I read the comments from you ignoranat, arrogant, stupid non-educated ppl that are supporting this war. If u had any I dea, of what the rest of the world thinks of u...u would have closed your mouth looong ago. My goodness, u really are som arrogant fahks. ..and the worst thing..your president is the dumbest and most arrogant one..

I definetly support the ones among u who dare to stand up an demonstrate.
And to lash out against the bes musician we have, Ed.Vedder..thats just makes me stop reading your comment..absolutly nothing to do with this what so ever..he is just one of millions of ppl that are against this war..so wake up.. and realize that there are different points of view to this than the arrogant -wannabe-patriotic-but-ends-up-disgracing-your-country point of view that u pro-ppl have..

Hey Eddie, thanks for being a great person! And thanks for writing songs that touch our soul. That´s why I´m flying to USA only to see Pearl Jam shows, even in the middle of this war. Show the world that is better to sing a love song than make war. I agree with you: STOP THE WAR! Instead of making war, the politics should help people! There are so many children living in the streets in the city I live in, so much violence... As you said in Melbourne show..."I wish I was the president... keep us out of war... that´s what friends are for...that´s what love is for..." :)

Elsewhere at the Vanity Fair bash, Tim Robbins confronted Washington Post columnist Lloyd Grove, who recently interviewed Susan Sarandon's mother, a rock-ribbed Republican who complained that the leftist parents of her 13-year-old grandson were brainwashing him. Robbins warned Grove: "If you ever write about my family again, I will hunt you down."

FUCK THE WAR!
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
ITS IN NO WAY THE SOLDIERS FAULTS.
YOU THINK THEY WANT TO BE OUT THERE FIGHTING WHEN THEY COULD BE HOME WITH THEIR WIVES/HUSBANDS AND KIDS?
I DONT BELIEVE IN THE WAR, BUT>>>>>
I SUPPORT THE TROOPS.
I HAVE FRIENDS OUT THERE.
I WANT THEM BACK!

i am from belgium and i am proud that i see eddie vedder ( the greatest artist in the world ) sharing my opion !

Do to the very sensitive nature of "Engaging" the enemy in combat and war tactics within this Iraq conflict, bye our American soilders. They are being ambushed, tricked bye civillians into fake surrender tactics and must get military JAG permission to engage. Because of the "Politcal correctness" hypersensitivity driven bye "Anti-war" activitist in part, our troops are unable to defend themselves in these illegal and immoral battle techniches.

How you can defend a regime who is hiding behind women, children, religious buildings and hospitals is ridiculous. And in the same breathe you are shunning our troops and efforts for a free and truly liberated Iraq.

The Iraqi regime has more than proven to myself and the world how evil and disgusting in regaurd to humanity they are. And you "Anti-War" activists are condoning this. My thoughts are to add another Billion dollars to the War budget to fund transportation for all of you to go and live in Iraq. Then you can live in "peace" and "true democracy" as you wish.

~Lets Roll!~

If you haven't heard of Eddie Vedder then you're either younger than 16 or older than 50 and you don't listen to rock music. Like others have said, he's the singer of Pearl Jam, the most influential and probably the best rock band in the last 15 or so years. For those too young to remember, they came out in 1991 and took the music world by storm by helping to bring alternative/grunge music into the mainstream. For the kids of today, think Eminem but more popular.

I'm happy to see Vedder and the others out there speaking their minds. It takes courage to do so. Vedder's always been outspoken about his views, which has had a positive influence on many, including myself.

I notice that people posting here against his appearance have little constructive to say in opposition of Vedder's stand and have resorted to personal insults. Apparently they have nothing of substance to contribute, so they contribute nothing but noise.

Not only does this reflect immaturity in the extreme, I am also left with the impression that they have nothing of worth to say to shore up any counter-agrument that they may have with Vedder and his stance. Any thinking person knows that arguments ad hominem are fallacies.

So, anyway. A tip of the hat to Vedder --and everyone else speaking their minds. And a hint to the detractors--try an argument that would at least leave people thinking you have some ideas in your head worth considering.

After hearing some comments from pro-war people....
NOW I understand why there's a war.

Jebus, I never thought ppl like you existed, no wonder we have a war. It's because there ARE arrogant, ignorant, and harsh peple like you.

On the other side, I don't think Bush is stupid. It all came down to politics and money.
It's not about Saddam, or Iraqi freedom, they just need a reason to validate the war.
But c'mon, wha't do they do first when they came to Iraq? Protect the oil !
'It's for the future welfare of iraqi people' they said. Bullshit.
This war has already spend lots of US money , and they're gonna take something back.

On another note, comparing academic achievement of politician to celebrities is not fair, lol.
It's not their brains we're having problem with, it's their moral.
This world is fucked up because greedy smart people do whatever they wanted by decieving people who believe everything they say, as long as it's from the mouth of 'smart people'. They stop using their brains at some point and become ignorant bunch.

And I can't believe there are people who don't know who Eddie Vedder is!
Where am I??!

Pardon for my english... ;-)

who awarded that title? i can gurantee most anyone given the moniker would prefer they not be referred to as such. most of the 'role models' people embrace are just normal people, who have been lucky or persistent enough to succeed in a public arena. do you think they ever intended to be viewed as role models? not likely. we're all human. we all do things we'd like to undo. we all make mistakes. we are allowed to change our minds on topics. people in the public eye are not exempt from this.
it's also good to know that who you date dictates your level of integrity. believe me, i'm very aware of the lyrics
"model...role model.....roll some models in blood"
i'm sure he is too. he wrote them. broad generalizations can bite you in the ass. but, to assume every person who is a (insert descriptor here) is a BAD person, will only serve to keep you in a very small world. There are good and bad people in every profession and walk of life. if you choose to pre-judge individuals with broad generalizations, it is you who loses, I assure you.
new ways of thinking can be scary. but not nearly as scary as having someone dictate whether or not you can have access to new ideas....THAT is much, much scarier.

About Saddam murdering over 1 million of his own people...let's not forget he had help with that in the form of the US sanctions. Your post implies he went out and did all by his lonesome. Nice spin, but not terribly accurate. When confronted with the fact that over 500,000 children had died as a result of US-imposed sanctions in 1996, Secretary of State Madeline Albright said she affirmed that "we think the price is worth it." Not even Albright is arguing that we didn't help with the killing of Saddam's people.

Saddam is a vicious tyrant and a murderer and all the bad things you want to say about him....and more. But it is *very* simplistic to paint him as evil and us as good. The world is not that simple. And we are not that pure.

By all means, everyone "American" has a right to his/her opinion! Even though their opinions against the WAR are wrong! Another thing, anyone desperate enough to believe only what their favorite Rock Star, or Actor believes in is ......CRAZY! (Ahem....Pearl Jam Fans!) You guys think this Eddie Vedder person is a GOD! If he's GOD, I will gladly go to hell in PRIDE!!

GW Bush is THEE GOD! I do anything and believe everything he says. I just LOVE being a simplistic hypocrite.

I am but a typical American, which is why this country is so FUCKED UP. It is inhabited by oblivious fools like me who believe ANYTHING that the government and the corporate media tells them.

I just LOVE not having a mind of my own and then accuse SOMEONE else of not having a mind of THEIR own. I just LOVE being so blatantly hypocritical. It's too bad that I can't make a living at it.

Hey, Scott. Would you consider giving me another golden shower? Just remember to drink ALOT of beer.

No big deal, you're a moron......it's cool!

If you're a moron, I'm the FATHER of all morons! I just LOVE letting you know how much you're getting under my skin.

Damn the post was so close to the truth it was unreal!

I just love Eddie Vedder, isn't he just so much better then GOD??? I will do whatever it takes to be just like him and believe everything he believes in! I am EDDIE!

EDDIE IS MY GOD AND IF HE's AGAINST THIS WAR, I'M AGAINST IT TO!! I HAVE NO MIND OF MY OWN!!

A male model, right? I can't beleive he is still around! Makes an interesting topic. I think that people like Eddie because he's so against Corporate America! He is just an aging Rock Star who's learning the hard way that no one likes him anymore! By the way Eddie, I like how your new album is in the TOP 40........Oh I'm sorry, you are not even in the Top 100! Grunge is OVER! Hope you saved your pennies...or you will end up looking at children porn on the internet like your old buddy "Pete" Townsend! Good Luck!

Even if Bush invades Colombia to seize its oil reserves, I'll be in agreement. Why? Because I'm Bush's favorite puppet. He also gives me golden showers whenever I ask him to.

MORE MORE MORE!!!

Why are there so many hateful people on this board? Must you cuss so much? I am not for this war and I find it appalling for anyone to call me stupid and dumb because of it!

well... first of all... i'm not north amercian ... i'm Brazilian from Recife. i would like to say that this war is not right... Saddam is a fucking ditador... but Gorge Bush is a ditador too... i hate both... they have to die...
i'm totally against the war... but as long as it begun... i rather the iraq wins the war... all of you north americans be shamed like happened in Vietna...
Who you think you are ??? you're not better then anybody else... we're the same... there's anybody better then others.... you have to learn this... or others 9/11 will happens again.... even me and you wants this... so it's better you change your mind.... the whole world is against you... i'm just warning... be carefull and change your behavior

HEIL BUSH!! HEIL ASHCROFT!!

Eddie made me want to come out of the closet, and I'm happy I did! Now I an suck all the cock I want, and for free this time! Eddie made it be okay to be gay!

i'm not Jealous.... here is so much better then there... where only live assholes... you can be rich.... but i'm not in a war with no reasons... you should be shamed to you country.... i love my country... my city...
thanks ...

i hope you burn in fucking hell....
(i'm not telling about ALL north americans...) only who think they're better then someone else.... it makes you be worse

Why the hell are you supporting this stupid war? Just to see some of your closest persons get lost into the war? Come on, I'm not saying Saddam is a little angel... He's a fucking murderer, but what has George W Bush JUNIOR with that? Is he the world policy or anything? What does he think he is, to walk through ONU decisions? Saddam should be taken away by pacific ways, not with the brutality that will end up killing thousands of soldiers, combatents and innocent people, that has nothing to do with the little child (your fucking president)'s desire to be powerful and rich with what iraquian people took decades to build.

I'm sorry for being a simple-minded, uneducated American redneck.

Okay, I'm through typing now. Go ahead and put me back in my straightjacket.

Reading these comments, I got to see how ignorant americans are... you can't just discuss about a thing. You have to go crazy and start saying off-topic stuff... But, noooo you are all AMERICANS and you LOVE each other, 'cause there's so much UNION between you... Once I heard Mr. Vedder singing a Steven Van Zandt song that went like this:
"I am a patriot, I love my country, because my country is all I know"

I do not understand why people feel the need to make derogetory comments about others in this forum. What does this accomplish?

I do not support killing. The USA government has poor evidence and justification for creating a war in which American, Britans, Iraquis, Syrians, Australians, Kuwaitis, and others are now dying.

George Bush and those who work with him want this war. I do not know exactly why, but I know it isn't good.

Good people of the world will speak out against this unnessary killing. I hope we can all live in peace soon.

Now those freaks from the Eddie Vedder Stalkers website have come out of the woodworks. Congratulations pro-war supporters. You know have some of the world's biggest nitwits in your corner. Your hatred for Eddie is beyond frightening. Get a grip & get a life you losers.

other "artists" stop helping us out by being retards! I can't believe they say some of things that come out of their mouths! All I know is that I'm against this WAR and I'm against "actors who don't do anything positive in life, but act like they do"! Give us all a break, you people in Hollywood show your lack of knowledge in this Nation's Affairs! What dimwits! Please STOP acting like you're educated, we all know the truth!

Who the hell are you??? Since when does looks matter when supporting an issue? Where the fuck have you been not to have heard about Vedder and others? Seems to me you may have been spending too much time caring about what people are looking like and not what the root cause of some of the problems are. I'll tell you this much....the so called "losers" of the protest will be the ones remebered long after some stupid fuck at the Oscars who did not have the balls to stand up for what he believes in (Moore)...instead hiding behind their boos in the audience...Travolta and other fucks.

Hypocrites!! Why oh why do they open their mouths?

You've turned a conversation about war into a discussion about if pearl jam sucks or if eddie vedder sucks or his sexuality!!!!
What the hell are you thinking!?!?!?!?!

Don't you know that it's more important to insult a well-meaning celebrity such as Eddie Vedder than to talk about the war? If you talk about the war, you might have to talk about the issues--support your position. If you insult Eddie Vedder, you don't even have to think. Besides, it's entertaining to insult Vedder, and as Neil Postman noted in his brillian "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business," we love to be entertained at the expense of everything we hold dear. The intellectual health of our society is in sorry shape and the measured attention we should give the war is diverted--not by Vedder, but by the fools who would rather "intellectually" masturbate over him than pay attention to the shape of politics around them right now.

younger than 28! I think their music sucks anyways! Now, As for the war, I'm not for it or against it, I just want our troops to come home soon! So if oyu don't like that, then "bring it on"!!

If you actually have to have your opinion the same as them because you idolize the famous, then you are a pathetic person! I'm not for the WAR, because I don't think Bush is a good President and I think he doesn't even know what he is getting us into! I have no idea why you people can't think for yourselves!

I didn't post this about Jenny, etc. It's an obvious forgery, but I thought I'd mention it.

Real Americans have opinions that are their own and not used by the "Artists"!

Weird isn't it?? I'm for the WAR, not because Travolta and Bruce Willis are!

I'm for the WAR because my puppet master BUSH is! HEIL BUSH!!

By your own reasoning, you are not qualified to speak out. What access do you have to security briefings, etc.? Exactly none, is my bet.

Formal education does not equal wisdom. Anyone who thinks it does has not experienced much that life has to offer.

I am not impressed with the mindset that only the "experts" can tell us what to believe and that only "experts" know the truth. Experts have their own biases and are often bought by those who realize the herd tends to see something magical in "expert" opinion, not realizing that it has often been shaped to accommodate the lastest source of funding. PR campaigns are *not* created for our own good, but for the good of an influence peddler.

Wake up. If you are a literate American who bothers to read on all sides of an issue--and not just what the "experts" feed you--you are well-qualified to speak your mind. Exercise your right to free speech before the "experts" and their handlers take it away.

Jealous? You probably can't even get it up, let along fuck a good looking straight model. :-)

He's still a great person standing up for what he believes in!

I still think Eddie Rocks and the WAR SUCKS!

Let's make it clear if 70% country is white and 2/3 of the country suppors the war, then overall those that support war are 95% are fuckin red-necks. Minorities who fight for the fuckin racist country get sent to the front lines to die; they act as a shield for white trash who lay back in thier f-14's , f-18's, tanks, while we get killed. We live in the poorest slime filled filthiest ghettos, wo/jobs, and daily are victims of racism and these motherfuckin white politicians
say it's about freedom. Bull shit!. MOTHER FUCKERS If we get bombed again I hope it's a rich, fat, gay ass red-neck area. OH AND ONE MORE THING WHEN WE SAY THE WORLD HATES US IT MEANS WHITE FUCKIN PEOPLE AND THE MOTHERFUCKIN GOVERNMENT. ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jill fucking Mc Cormick is ugly, for the record!

INTELLIGENT!! You should feel so proud!

I wouldn't know intelligence if it plucked out my ass hairs.

fucking babies!!

I live for big hairy dicks too!

Thanks for being humerous in this time of grief!

I'm all done watching movies or TV programs starring Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Barbara Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Eddie Vedder (?) etc...

They're history for me. I've watched them for the last time.

If I were to attend one of their movies, a fraction of my ticket price would find it's way into their pockets. That's flatly unacceptable because I'd then be supporting anti-American traintorous scumbags. Thanks but no thanks.
GO TROOPS, WE ARE WITH YOU!!

I'm also through with my use of critical thinking skills. Whatever Bush says is the truth. Yes, I'm REALLY that naive.

"you have the right to free speech...as long as... you're not dumb enough to actually try it"

You anti-War people are making us other people against this war look as shitty as the Prowar ones!

I don't understand why pro-war americans don't write points of view about THE WAR! Why are u pro-war? Why u believe that is the better way?
The pro-war posts have only idiot comments! If u don't know the person, please, don't be an ignorant writing about the need of botox to that actress or if that singer is dating a model! Show us _why_ is right to be pro-war! Show us your ideas! Show us that u have your own brain! ..but before this, make a research about the real situation in front the war, but don't use the cnn ...'cause remember: USA lost the popular suport on the Vietnam war because the report of journalists on the fronts. it's so ironic the cnn's numbers and.. have you seen images of hurt american soldiers?
ps.: If u don't know eddie vedder, please, shut up. He is a great guy, make good music and he knows why to be against this war, he has an opinion about this, he argue about this.. so why don't u argue? show us u have a brain!
sorry for my not-so-perfect english!

A pathetic loser would be a person that has to "impersonate" others to try to raise hell for them.

Anyone else notice that Tim Robbins is losing his hair...interesting.

to STRESS!! I hate those people!

IN THE JUKEBOX BABY! If only Joan Jett and the blackhearts were still around!

Well said, For the war or against the war, state your case and talk about it.
Foul language and name calling does nothing to educate anyone on what you believe is right.
I am not for war, but I do believe that Sadam really needs to go.
If we have a viable UN we could hae accomplished this already with out war. I also fully expect that we will see the real picture in the end. We will see how Russia, France and Germany are connected to Iraq, and don't want everyone to find out. This has been a UN problem for many, many years now and they have done nothing. I am still learning so educate me.

Most people think that entertainers opinions are far more valid that us ordinary people. But most if not all of them are as flaky as they come. They just do not relate with us little people.(nor do they try)
Example: Down on evil SUV's Up on Limo's
Down on guns Up on their body guards having guns.
I believe it is called a double standard.

wow...you people are truly idiots.....

We can't win!

What the fuck is wrong with you people being so damn shallow when it comes to the way people look? Not everyone was born with a beautiful face and a vicious heart like some of you! How dare you insult someone who isn't as attractive as someone else! Who cares if a person is overweight, thin, unattractive, etc... Does that make them less of a person?? I can't believe you would call Jill Mc Cormick a name! I can't believe you would call Susan Sarandon a name! I can't believe half of you are anti-war protesters! I'm ashamed of you, I could give a shit if you are for or against this fucking WAR! You people are as bad as Hollywood Executives!!

Why does it bother you so much? Are you ugly? Are you dating an ugly Model? Are you dating someone else that is ugly? What's the point of your post? The whole world LOVES beautiful people, it's something we all LIVE with. So quit the bitching.....if you're are ugly, get plastic surgery!!

That statement from Innocent Bystander "is something only ugly people say"! If your chick is ugly, get one that is HOT! Who would bang an ugly chick? Besides Vedder and Robbins? Maybe that's why they're Bi-Sexual! Who cares??

Pearl Jam people are only rude to fucking idiots like you. Stalker Chick

Is anyone here into scat? If so, please post a response!

You are fucking an idiot if I have every seen one.

IF THIS IS UGLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT BEAUTY IS. SHE'S BITCHIN LOOKING!!!!

http://www.fuckoffsaddam.com/jill4.jpg";>

I'm a useful idiot with an ususually small penis. I will mock you all into submission.

Wow! You know how to copy and paste the same message over and over on multiple threads? I was never able to master that. It is beyond my mental capablilities. Wait a second. I'll get my third grade buddy to show me how. After that, I'll screw his tight little butthole.

Opps sorry I was describing myself!

I am really a stalker but feel the need to put them down since I don't want to admit how often I stay outside of his house for hours.

she was cute back then, every picture I see her with Ed nowadays she looks like hell! Come on Eddie, get with another Model, one who's profile isn't jacked up!
the girl is ugly now! No big deal!

I would think Eddie could have gotten a whole lot better! Did you ever see his x-wife! She looked like Marilyn Manson. The guy's taste is horrible to be a Rock Star!

She's alot better looking then his first wife!!

anyway! I do have to admit, she is so much better then Beth! that lady was god awful! She did sort of look like Marilyn Manson! Shit, too bad Eddie can't hook up with Carmen Electra or a "Victoria Secret's Model"! Now that's a MODEL! Jill does sort of have a horse face!

needs some bigger breasts! Eddie Vedder is cool and I don't think he judges people the way we do! He's probably in "love" for the first time in his life! To each his own! He has a great voice! I'm against this fucking WAR!

Those who feel the need to prove the competency of our government, remember two things:
1) Having to prove that they are intelligent in the first place should tell you something.
2) I want you to also add to their list of "credentials" all of the connections EVERY SINGLE one of them has to an energy, oil or defense company and then prove to me that our troops aren't in Iraq right now dying for big business. That would be truly telling.

We really need to connect the dots in our lives with those who have lobbying power in WDC. As consumers we have the power to change legislation, if that isn't scary I don't know what is.....

CNN is not progressive. Sure Fox is a conservative dream but to call CNN progressive is very misleading. CNN shows pictures of big buildings blowing up and the whole time they show no concern for the PEOPLE who may be harmed by those "smart bombs". Such concern might show that CNN is progressive. Also, CNN is not critical of the information that is provided them by the US government. They show explosions and then glorify the violence by showing the viewer a graphic of the "technologically advanced Smart bomb". To call CNN progressive shows the need to explore other media outlets. I think it is important to consume a "balanced diet" when it comes to media intake. Please see the URL I have included. Remember that social responsibility does not end at being an American.

Just shut the fuck up and watch Fox News. They are fair and balanced. Why? Because they SAY so.

That bitch Susan Suranden has sure hit the wall.

Think we can get a cutier spokesperson?

Hey, I've got one. Ann Coulter. I've been arrested multiple times for stalking this fascist fox. I sure would love to drink her bathwater.

Oddly enough, our little spammer isn't entirely wrong.

Ann Coulter is really good looking.

So is Laura Ingraham.

she is a fucking cunt!

It's straightjacket time, again.

It's too bad that CNN & the others have been forced to become the mouthpieces of the govenment. In exchange for first-hand access to Iraq they've had to agree to report on only what they're allowed to report on so everything we get here is bleached a nice pale shade of truth.

***brilliance abounds. don't know enough words, so you shout in all caps instead?***

caps make a difference? not a very good start to yer arguement

***go out and buy a copy of riot act. read the lyrics. think about them. then read lyrics from the other pearl jam albums.***

and then go out to the rest of the world and take in everything to form your opinions, not just the lyrics from pearl jam records


***then research how much money they've donated to local and global charity.***

what's the percentage of their incomes that they give? that's a lot more telling than dollar amount, they aren't any better than anyone else because they have more money to give.


***research the 400,000 they raised this past december alone.***

sure it's great that they were part of raising funds, just like someone who raises funds for their church with a bakesale, and it's not like the boys gave $400,000 of their own money, it was mostly fan money wasnt it? and it's not like they had to do any hard work to help raise the money. it's a good thing, but no reason to glorify them, a lot of people take part in fundraisers, i betchya that the person you have issues with here probably had bought a box or two of girl scout cookies or something like that, if that's what someone has the resources to do then they are not any less special than someone who has the name power to help raise $400,000.


***then research what kind of car Ed drives - a gas guzzling Mercedes SUV? nope. wrong again.***

lots of people don't drive SUV's, why should this get pointed out in trying to show someone's value? maybe the man doesnt like SUV's, maybe he liked something else better, it's not like the man really really wanted an SUV but refrained for social reasons. sheesh! what kind of car a person chooses to drive or not drive doesn't determine their value to the world. if a family has two parents and four kids, plus an elderly grandparent living with them and two dogs and the kids and parents are into biking, canoeing, etc, they need a way to transport their shit, and car manufacturers are not offering a lot of alternatives, they are gettting their needs met with what is available.


***maybe you should keep in mind that he still lives in west seattle, not hollywood. in a modest house.***

yes, he has a modest home in west seattle (not really all that modest, but not extravagant either) but it's not like he spends all of his time there. he spends more time surfing his life away in tropical locations than he does hanging out at his pad in west seattle.


***maybe you should read about the work he and pearl jam have done for WM3.***

not really all that much, nothing to stand out, ratm has done a lot more.

***maybe you should notice that the guy wears the same damn thrift store clothes almost every day.***

he like to dress like that, it's his image, he's not an expensive suit kind of guy. why should he be praised for wearing thrift store clothes? lot's of people do it.

***or maybe you should just continue to lambast someone (s) you clearly know nothing about. just because someone has been successful, does not mean they have sold out. do your research.***

just because someone is a successful rock star, it doesnt mean they need to be put on a pedestal for doing the same things less famous people do every day, you haven't pointed out anything truly extraordinary that makes them deserving of "moreness" than other people.

***and I suggest you do some on the true doings of our government over the past 100 years. you'll have to look deeper than your local news, but it's out there.....***

agree with ya there

***a mind is like a parachute, only functions when open.***

you arent really showing your own open mind, you are just using pearl jam's goings ons to make your argument, you havent shown any of your own original thoughts to change this guys mind, you are just berating him for pointing out that eddie made a funny boo boo, so what?

***regardless of my feelings about this war and our government, I at least, know why I feel the way I do. do you????***

you feel that way because of reading pearl jam lyrics, yay for you.

And I'm just the man to do it for him.

The above post is mine.

You must be so proud !!!

I am! Mommy is impressed, too!

What's the matter Fatima, do you think you wrote this? You don't know how to read let alone type!

WOW, I knew you two were the same person!

It's straightjacket time again, you paranoid schizo.

hi! could you please not copy and paste my words from another board? it's pretty rude. get yer own words. thanks!

I am really getting tired of people using my alias! I'm also getting tired of all the damn e-mails I've been getting about gay porn! Just because I'm gay doesn't give you all the right to make me feel like shit! I think it's gross and I also think it's gross that you say "Jill Mc Cormick is ugly and that Ed's first wife Beth Liebling" was ugly too! So they're ugly, who cares, you don't have to sleep with them! I'm tired of all the bullshit! LEAVE ME ALONE!!

MAYBE you shouldn't POST your E-mail address if you don't want hate e-mails!

Go back to your board of heavy stalking and masturbating while looking at Jill and Eddie together!

didn't hit a nerve with anything you've said to me or about me, it's your impersonating innocent well respected members of the pj community that strikes a nerve with me. why don't you leave her alone? she has never ever done anything bad to anyone in the pj community.

YOU FUKIN COW!

***Leave who alone?
by SEE YA • Thursday March 27, 2003 Thut 07:19 PM
YOU FUKIN COW!***

leave jkarm alone. there's lots of other things you could do, lots of other people you could continue to impersonate, why her? she's never caused trouble for anyone.

You people make no sense! No matter what side you are on, you are making yourselves look like total asses!

Since when do Americans make any sense? I'm ashamed I live in the same nation as the half of you! I'm American, but with this War going on, I'm only half! I can't believe what BUSH and Powell and the rest of those fuckers in the White House our doing to this Country and to Iraq!! It's terrible! You people who judge other people on how they look are fucking awful!

Why does it bother you if we call Jill Mc Cormick ugly? Do you personally know her? Why do you care if we call Eddie Vedder a loser? Do you personally know him? (In both cases they're true) I think Eddie Vedder's a loser just like you are. If you are ashamed of America, get the FUCK OUT!

I hate to admit this, but Jeff, I agree with you from the Jill thing all the way to where you tell Innocent to "get the fuck out of America if you are so ashamed"!

America is killing Iraqi's boohoo, George Bush isn't a good President, boohoo, all anti-war protesters can leave the US if they aren't HAPPY!!!!

Way to go, "Tom d." Whenever we conservatives don't have an argument, we can always resort to the original "love it or leave it." It really shows thinking people what Neanderthals we are.

Yes, I would like to remind everyone that Tim Robbins glasses frames are worth over 500 US dollars enough to feed a small village in Iraq.

What about it Tim...care to put you money where your mouth it?

Yosef, care to put your cock where my mouth is?

internet that doesn't have so many FUCKING ASSHOLES against this WAR???

where I can buy a BRAIN and some CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS???

Yeah Jeff. Go over to the Freak Rezpublik. You'll feel right at home with the other braindead socially retarded zitfaced fat asses that support this idiotic war. There, you can masturbate all over yourself to your hearts content.

You don't want to stay here, because you may actually get informed, instead of propagandized. You wouldn't want that!

Sounds good!

Someone signed me up with Match.com!!! Enough already!

has been all their lives! EDDIE VEDDER IS A COWARD FUCKER WHO CAN't EVEN SURF WITHOUT ALMOST FUCKING DROWNING! HE's always stoned and wasted! fucking idiot! Jeff Day and JKarm, cna kiss my ass! I'm against this fucking war, but I hate HOLLYWOOD!

Fuck off, cameljockey.

I'm impressed.....asshole!

Thanks! It took a long time to think up that one!

with her???

I'll take some of that action! I do hope she's old and wrinkled.

who cares, right??

convince their "stalkers" (fans) that this WAR is terrible and for oil?!?! I can't believe all these anti-American people living in this GREAT COUNTRY!! I mean, what the fuck??

about this stupid war and dumb President! I hate PROWAR PEOPLE!!

Isn't it past your bedtime??

spell a simple word! Stupid ass Punk!

Damn, that is awful looking!

I thought he was dead! I couldn't believe it when I saw him! I could have sworn that piece of shit Faggot was gone! Jesus, what a fucking asshole he is! Him and Tim Robbins must fuck each other along with that old ass bitch Susan watching! What a disgrace him and all the other assholes are against America! It makes me sad to know that a "stoned surfer" (who i thought was dead) is against a Country that has been so good to him! It shows that celebrity's care about themselves and themselves ONLY! Nice glasses Tim! Fucking hypocrite aging assholes!

Example:

Susan Sarandon- need I say more?

Tim Robbins- Jacob's Ladder was a real FLOP!

Michael Moore- Fat slob

Salma Hayek- fucking can't even speak English

Jennifer Aniston- She became famous because of her dad being on Days of our lives for so long

Sean Penn- Made one good movie, and three hundred bad ones

Richard Gere- Does Gerbil mean anything to you?

Eddie Vedder- GOD, where the fuck do I begin? there are so many thing swrong with that idiot!

Sheryl Crow- Does anyone know her songs? What a loser!

Dixie Chicks- The music is BAD! The little fat one has always been annoying!

Jane Fonda- Someone please KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THIS LOSER WHEN YOU SEE HER DUMBASS!!

Brad Pitt- Give me a break, if it wasn't for his looks he wouldn't be in the movies! He's can't fucking at worth a shit!

Julia Roberts- Damn, can you close your mouth for one minute?

I can't go on...........

You know, if only they would keep their mouths closed! You are so right about that!

What's up with hitting your send button twice?

I just can't wait until all Iraqi people are wiped off the face of the Earth!

Perhaps you need to find something better to do with your time. Stop trying to cause problems by using other people's aliases. Grow up child. I haven't posted any of these anti-Ed messages on here.

Please come support the cause. Massive Anti-War Rally and March!!!!! Sunday, March 30, 2003 at 12 noon. Starts in Downtown LA at Pershing Square (6th and Hill) march to (Los Angeles and Temple) Federal Building.

Remember: No one should be ashamed to march for peace. Those who tell you it is wrong to do so are very misguided.

For what it's worth, whoever posted "Patriot" should know that it is an *ANTI-POLITICAL* song. Great song and one that Pearl Jam covered numerous times. We all know Pearl Jam....The band....with a guy named Eddie Vedder in it. Thought not.

seems to be enough people on here that hates Eddie and anyone who is friends with him without you coming on here and fucking it up worse! You're a fucking groupie that's pissed off because Ed and the rest of Pearl Jam turned you down backstage! They know that all groupies are whores and skanky ones at that! Leave Eddie and our stupid comments to yourself... it's getting quite old! Go back to the STALKER board with all the other FREAKS!

weird problem with Eddie!

seen! Groupies? We have an actual groupie on this board? Wasn't that the thing in the 70's & 80's and maybe early nineties? I think it's time to hang up your stockings there oldie!

I can't believe women actually admit that they were groupies! What skanks!

actually think the majority of America listens to their ass! Isn't that funny, to think we care what they think? I love this shit! AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!!! I am for this WAR and for our troops and for AMERICA!!

Eddie, first of all, great job! This war is just one more fucking way to get oil and to destroy Iraqian people. I dream someday to go to a Pearl Jam's show to see and hear love songs from my favorite band, not bombs or destruction that we hear on TV. Hey guys come to Brasil!! :^)
PS: BUSH, GO BACK TO YOUR PLANET!

Hey Kyle, this text is like a stupid one. Not even the smartest or those who have more culture, studied more can make a better government. Open your eyes, stop your stupid patriotism and see that Brasilian current president doesn't studied in university and he's doing better than our last president that graduated from 2 universities and speaks 6 languages. So open your eyes to the world and reflect a little bit more about this article. STOP THE WAR! BEFORE BUSH KILL MORE CIVILIANS!

So open your eyes to the world and reflect a little bit more about this article. STOP THE WAR! BEFORE BUSH KILL MORE CIVILIANS!

Disgusted by the constant blathering idiocy spewing from a number of talking heads from Hollywood, I decided to make a list of pro-liberty and pro-American thinkers in Tinseltown.

My initial guess was that the list would not exhaust my supply of fingers. I was amazed to discover that perhaps Hollywood isn't as pinko as I previously believed.

Some of the folks below are towering intellectuals who transcend traditional party boundaries. Other are simply hard-core conservatives. Some are supermen and superwomen who feel more at-home on this side of the political fence, while others are just good common people.

"Abuse of power isn't limited to bad guys in other nations. It happens in our own country if we're not vigilant."

"At Waco, was there really an urgency to get those people out of the compound at that particular time? Was the press going to make it look heroic for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms? At Ruby Ridge, there was one guy in a cabin at the top of the mountain. Was it necessary for federal agents to go up there and shoot a 14-year-old in the back and shoot a woman with a child in her arms? What kind of mentality does that?"

"Those in power get jaded, deluded, and seduced by power itself. The hunger for absolute power and, more to the point, the abuse of power, are part of human nature."

Lee Greenwood Lee's career stands as a shining example of the American success story. From his humble beginnings on a farm near Sacramento, California, Lee has taken his natural talent and achieved worldwide recognition in the entertainment business with a career so far spanning three decades. Only two years after the release of his debut album, he won the coveted Country Music Association's Male Vocalist of the Year award. He won the same award again, as well as a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance the following year. Continuing his streak, Greenwood won the 1984 ACM Male Vocalist of the Year award. His first three albums achieved gold status, and his Greatest Hits quickly went platinum. In 1985, a less publicized facet of his talent was recognized when the CMA awarded him Song of the Year honors for penning both the words and music to "God Bless The USA." After the Gulf War in 1991, Lee was one of the most in-demand performers. Because of his support for the military and veterans during that time, Lee would often play two and sometimes three shows per day, traveling to and from in private jets. The staying power of this dynamic performer throughout fifteen successful touring years remains evident in every Lee Greenwood show. Thirty albums, numerous TV appearances, and hundreds of radio interviews are all vehicles through which this tireless performer maintains his visibility with the public. His celebrity tours with the United Services Organization (USO) are one of the many high-profile charity organizations to which this humanitarian donates his time. Since the tragedies of September 11, Lee has seen his signature hit "God Bless The U.S.A." take on yet another life. Since the attack on America, airplay has increased ten fold, skyrocketing "God Bless The U.S.A." back into the top 20 of the Billboard country airplay chart, and sending Lee's 1992 album "American Patriot" to the top of the sales charts. The album was certified gold in October 2001 & platinum in December 2001.

Larry Gatlin Over 40 years ago, Larry, Steve, and Rudy Gatlin started singing in their hometown of Abilene, Texas, and from there went on to make music history. Over the course of a four-decade career that has taken the Gatlin brothers from dusty Texas stages to White House performances, from Broadway to Grammy Awards to the top of the country charts, there has been one unifying element, music. There’s no harmony quite as pure as family harmony. Gatlin harmonies spin with high and light precision and their music bleeds and screams of love and a lot of living. Beginning in 1993, Larry spent part of four successive Christmas holidays entertaining military personnel via USO tours. Those treks took him literally around the world, making stops in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Somalia and Japan.

"I think that people should have the freedom to do what they want with their lives, regardless of whether somebody else finds it to be immoral. There shouldn’t be as many laws when it comes to things like marijuana. Gay people should be allowed to marry, it’s not up to moralists to decide who people love."
"I don’t believe in the kind of strict, totalitarian gun control that we have in this country, and I believe in free trade and open markets. People should decide what’s right for them. I believe in liberty. The government needs to step aside."
"People feel that so much is taken from them that they have lost control. They don’t understand why so much money is being taken out of their paychecks. Why can’t they make decisions as to how to spend their money themselves? I’d like to see an itemized tax return. You check where you want your money to go. We’d have a set amount that goes to schools, highways and police officers. The rest you decide for yourself. You decide if you want to put your money in schools and whether it goes to primary education or secondary education or perhaps to offset student loans. Or, you might want to put more money in defense or hiring more police officers."

That's all the government should be: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines (laughs)." "I think a lot of people are afraid of freedom. They want their lives to be controlled, to be put into a box... Why should someone put a limit on how much fun I can have, how much I can accomplish?" -- interview in Reason magazine. "

Marie Osmond Marie was first thrust into the spotlight in 1963 on "The Andy Williams Show" when the host placed the three-year old on his lap and introduced her as "the youngest Osmond Brother". Marie began to make a name for herself at 13 years of age when she exploded onto the music charts (#1 country/#5 pop) with "Paper Roses", marking the first time in country music history that a female artist debuted with a #1 record. Marie earned a gold record and Grammy nominations for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best New Artist. Marie released In My Little Corner Of The World (1974) and Who's Sorry Now (1975), the title track of which went Top 40. Among the many TV guest appearances she made, one featured a duet of "I'm Leaving It All Up To You" and a guest hosting role with brother, Donny. That, in turn, led to their weekly television variety series "The Donny & Marie Show" (1976-81). In 1979, Marie starred in the Christmas Classic TV movie "The Gift Of Love" with James Woods and Timothy Bottoms. Marie would later co-host the television series "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" (1985) and lend her voice-over and singing talents to children's videos such as "The Velveteen Rabbit" (1985), "Rose-Petal Place: Real Friends" (1987), "Buster and Chauncey's Silent Night" (1998) and "O'Christmas Tree" (1998). Marie returned to recording country music with There's No Stopping Your Heart (1985) which featured two #1 country hits: the title track and "Meet Me In Montana", a duet with Dan Seals which won the CMA's Vocal Duo of the Year award. I Only Wanted You (1986) earned her a CMA Vocal Duo of the Year nomination, this time with Paul Davis for the #1 country hit "You're Still New To Me". Two other albums followed, All In Love (1988) and Steppin' Stone (1989), as did a 1989 nomination by the Academy of Country Music as Top Female Vocalist. For many years, she toured "Marie Osmond's The Magic Of Christmas" show in major venues across the United States during the holidays. She continued her acting career performing the lead role of Maria in the national touring company of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "The Sound Of Music" in 1994-95 (reprising her role on a Southeast Asia tour in the summer of 1997) and in the 1995 television sitcom "Maybe This Time" with Betty White. In 1997, she made her Broadway debut as Anna in Rodgers & Hammerstein's "The King & I", opening to rave reviews. In the spring of 1998, she headlined the national touring production in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Marie co-founded, with John Schneider, the Children's Miracle Network, a project of The Osmond Foundation. The largest annual broadcast in fundraising history, it has raised in excess of 1.8 billion dollars since 1983, 100% of which has stayed in the local area in which it was raised for medical treatment, research and assistance, benefiting children's hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada.

"....At some point, you've got to go -- and I realize that people don't even hear this any more -- with the First Amendment defense: Congress shall make no law.

Tracy Scoggins Tracy is best known for her role as Captain Elizabeth Lochley on Babylon Five. The first time the public at large learned of Tracy Scoggins, she was three years old and the Galveston Daily News did a feature article on the youngest citizen ever to apply for and receive a library card. The following fifteen years saw numerous reports of Tracy's athletic accomplishments. Her parents home was filled with trophies from her victories, often for sports in which many told her she was too tall to excel (i.e. gymnastics, springboard diving). "There is no inspiration more powerful to me than the opposition of some joyless nay-sayer," she smiles, "so Hollywood provides the perfect setting for my prosperity." In addition to her film, television and stage work, Tracy takes on other projects that she believes in. This was made evident when she teamed up with Black Entertainment Television's popular talk show Other Voices host, Bev Smith, to host the video Rape is Not An Option. The video makes a convincing case for rape prevention, providing several highly effective, common-sense self-defense techniques which require no special skills. Rape is Not An Option was "Highly Recommended" in both Library Journal and Video Rating Guide. Known for her athletic prowess, Tracy was a natural to star in two workout videos. In Tough Stuff, which she also produced, she leads a plyometric workout with friends Marcus Allen, former world champion boxer Carlos Palomino and pro-beach volleyball player Randy Stoklos. The second video, Mind Your Body on ABC Home Video, combines a high energy workout with Tracy's motivational coaching.

Aaron Russo Aaron is a top Hollywood producer. His films -- which include "The Rose" (starring Bette Midler), "Trading Places," and "Missing Pieces" -- have received six Academy Awards and two Golden Globe nominations. He was the first producer in Hollywood history to command a $1 million fee. Russo has been remarkably outspoken in his opposition to run-amok government. In 1994 he attempted to launch a new political party, the Constitution Party, which had a platform almost identical in theme to that of the Libertarian Party. Shortly thereafter he produced and starred in a sizzling hour-long videotape, "Aaron Russo's Mad As Hell." In the tape -- which was sold via mail and also aired in some late-night "infomercial" spots -- Russo goes after government abuses in a slash-and-burn style, sometimes humorous, sometimes angry, sometimes poignant. Among the major targets are the IRS -- which stands for, he says, "It Really Sucks" -- the War on Drugs, the Social Security scam, and the FDA. In 1998 Aaron ran for the Republican nomination for governor of the state of Nevada. In 2000, he supported the Libertarian party.

"Private Parts" was a smash at the box office and received much critical praise as well. Howard had expressed sympathy for libertarian ideas and the Libertarian Party on his radio show since the mid-1980's. In 1988 Howard gave Libertarian Party presidential candidate Ron Paul a brief plug. In 1990 Howard endorsed the Libertarian Party candidate for governor of New York. In March 1993, Howard announced he would run for governor of New York as a Libertarian Party candidate. The announcement set off a wave of national publicity for the party and for Howard. Howard dropped out of the race after winning the nomination, after learning he would have to comply with state-mandated financial disclosure laws. Howard has publicly argued for many libertarian positions, including ending the War on Drugs, repealing victimless crime laws, privatizing virtually all government functions, supporting a free market, and others. He has had a running battle with the Federal Communications Commission over free speech issues. He is currently fighting FCC fines totaling over $1.5 million. Needless to say, he joins with other libertarians in calling for the abolition of the FCC. Howard graduated magna cum laude from Boston University in 1976 with a major in broadcasting and film. He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Allison, for 15 years, and they have three children.

Neil Peart Drummer and chief lyricist for the dynamic rock band Rush, Neil Peart first discovered libertarian ideas through the works of Ayn Rand. Rush's 1976 album, 2112, was inspired by Rand's novel "Anthem," and in the liner notes Peart declares his admiration for "the genius of Ayn Rand." Rush's last 16 albums have gone either gold or platinum, and the band has been a top live attraction since their first album in 1974. Peart is one of the most highly-praised drummers in rock music today. Rush's songs often reflect a strong libertarian and individualist slant. Their best-known song, "Tom Sawyer," celebrates individual freedom. Among the lyrics: "His mind is not for rent/To any god or government." Neil is a supporter of Artists Against Racism.

Dr. Demento Dr. Demento, America's undisputed king of weird and way-out music, has been a libertarian for years, and has dee-jayed parties at Libertarian Party national conventions. Dr. Demento is host of the appropriately-named "The Dr. Demento Show," a weekly syndicated radio show that has aired for over 25 years.

Dr. Demento (aka Baret Eugene Hansen, aka Barry) graduated from Oregon's Reed College in 1963, but went back for a master's in folk music. While in college Barry Hansen began reviewing records for Rolling Stone Magazine. The good doctor supposedly got his name when Barry was playing "Transfusion" by Nervous Norvus on the radio one day, and someone said, "You've gotta be demented to play that!" Shortly thereafter, the DJ before him announced, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's... Dr. Demento!" A star was born. The Dr. Demento Show is heard on 200 stations in the U.S. and on the Armed Forces Radio Network.

"With the federal deficit running at several hundred billion dollars per year, Congress passed a transportation bill that, according to news reports, includes $30 million for a 'high-tech' moving sidewalk in Altoona, which happens to be in the district of Rep. 'Bud' Shuster, the ranking Republican on the surface transportation subcommittee. "I don't know about you, but as a taxpayer, I am outraged to discover that, in this day and age, Altoona residents are still being forced to walk around on regular low-tech stationary sidewalks. I'm thinking of maybe organizing a group of us to go there and carry Altoonans on our backs until they get their new sidewalk. I'm also thinking that maybe we should donate an additional $10 million or so to build them a high-tech computerized Spit Launcher that will fire laser-guided gobs onto the moving sidewalk, so the Altoonans won't have to do this manually. 'What have I done today to help keep 'Bud' Shuster in Congress?' is a question we all need to ask ourselves more often."

Red Steagall Red Steagall has always be

Pro War rally!!! Come support our Troops!! We are all going to "protest" a war we are for!!! Oh no,,, actually we are going to protest the people who are there to stop this war. Most of these anti war people have to realize that George bush is right, and he is our truest moral compass through these times of uncertainty. We'll have more flags than a nazi war parade. Come scream at some hippies!!!

Way to go, Thank GOD. Whenever we conservatives don't have anything intelligent to say, we can always "copy and paste" some fascist tripe in a pathetic attempt to look like we're not oblivious to what's really going on.

There is a war going on and all some of you losers can do is sit around and insult people and let this board become nothing but a garbage dump full of petty comments and junior high kid games.

Some of you people claim to be patriotic and supporting the troops who are dying for you and the best respect you can show them is to reduce the seriousness of this war into some stupid ass name calling reminiscent of grade school. Congratulations you have shown the rest of the world the worst view they can possibly see of Americans. And people say the French are idiots.

York and for this war, am I a fucking redneck punk ass mother fucker! (literally)

God damn, you suck ass!!

What are these "stars" thinking? There are so many more people that support the war then are against it. They've just destroyed their careers. Not that Eddie Vedder had much of one anyway.

Here in Ohio, we have assholes like him protesting this war, but yet no one is listening! I might run some over, that would be great! The "stars" have a voice, but yet they just keep putting their big fat feet in their mouths!

Ha ha, lets stop traffic and bother hard working people traveling to and from their jobs. I have a question. Did that stop the war? Did that do anything besides make all of you look like fools? The war is almost over. It has done nothing.

because of her I didn't watch Children of Dune

You better quit showing people where I work!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to protest, fine, don't suopport the men and women dieing for you who have no chioce but to defend their country, but you DO NOT have the right under the law of the United States to stop traffic and block other people hwo are trying to go to work to feed their children from getting there! It is called sabbatage, read the laws before you do stupid things.

NYC, I'll make sure I run you over three or four times...until the job is done!!

Pres. Bush sent our soldiers to Iraq to kill and be killed. Hold him responsible for their deaths. Each soldier swore to uphold the constitution. It says that only Congress can declare war. Place the blame where it is---the selected president, Bush.

Bush is an angel. Fox News told me so.

For those of you that don't know it, Sarandon was also the cunt that marched to support a picture of the Vigin Mary done in shit.

Why would anyone care what this bitch has to say...

I would like to say that i am outraged at the gall of you people. i served and flew missions into afghanistan and iraq and i saw what was going on, i was there you speak of humanity well.. ingorant ass that is precisly what we are preserving! i put my life on hold for you my family my WIFE, and for what so you could bash me and my comrades

i am truly dissaponted in some of my
"fellow americans"
p.s. i will still fight, kill, help, and defend our country and you for your right to bash me

I live in Oregon and every day it seams that my state has lost another person to the war. I have even known three of the slain. I don't feel any safer and I don't think Iraq was a threat. Even our inspectors couldn't find weapons of mass destruction. My friends didn't die for national security, they died in vain and that hurts me every day. So before you go blasting the protesters, think to your selves, are you ready to loose your son or daughter? War is not a end to all means, it is a last resort that should be avoided at all cost. Oregon has lost about 109 brave solders to the war.

I just read this guy saying something about saying something good about America. What America? We are run by the wealthy. They have chosen our President. They have chosen to start a war that needn't be started. THERE WERE NO WMD. THERE WAS NO PROGRAM. There's a hell of a lot of oil though, and Halliburton is making a hell of a lot money AT THE COST OF BRAVE AMERICANS LIVES!
FUCK YOU, YOU IGNORANT SELF LOATHING FUCK! Hey, they say ignorance is bliss. So, keep your eyes shut to the countless deaths of all those innocent bystanders. And don't even get me started on the depleted uranium tipped missles...

I agree with the last post.

Canada american too!)

greatest nation in the world, Hitler once say that too
as well as Mussolini, this is what fasiscm is based on ;
superority. So you fell superior? You think that kids
and families in Iraq have to die? Do you know even why?

Well I think this whole discussion has gone absurd. the last 30% of the dialogue is about eddie's old girl being ugly. And any pearl Jam fan would know Eddie would probably laugh at some of your comments. Honestly I didn't think PJ fans could be so superficial. I am also anti-war and I don't exhonerate Eddie for being an activist, but i simply enjoy that me and Eddie have something in common. A real Pj fan would just appreciate that, that you politically think like Eddie. Don't defend Eddie from stupid people, he don't need anybody to. A conclusion will never be reached, just face it some people don't like PJ ( don't know why the fuck not) I am 19, and I am in disbelief that so many people can be so simple minded. I know some people mentioned being in their 40's. That's just immature. Yes, as a fan it is good to see Eddie at the protest, however thats not what its about.
