"Let Freedom Ring!"
The Baseball Hall of Fame has canceled a 15th anniversary celebration of the film Bull Durham, and the hall's president-asshole, Dale Petroskey, said it was because of anti-war criticism by film co-stars Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon.
Petroskey, a former White House assistant press secretary under Saint Ronald of Reagan, said recent comments by the actors "ultimately could put our troops in even more danger." - link. I don't know how it could be possible for anyone to be MORE F*CKING STUPID.*
'A Fayetteville man was arrested for criminal trespass Saturday at the Northwest Arkansas Mall when he and other members of a U. of Arkansas student group attempted to enter, wearing T-shirts with antiwar slogans. Daniel Vaught, 22, said. 'We just went to the mall for some lunch, but security wouldn't let us in.' The shirts bore the slogans 'Support the troops, not war or Bu$h.' 'They met us at the curb and said we weren't welcome,' he said. 'They told us our shirts were the reason.' Vaught said mall security officers quickly called the Fayetteville Police at about 2 p.m. and Vaught was arrested.' - link.
'A former ACT employee says her supervisor fired her last week for refusing to remove an antiwar button from her shirt in the workplace. Sarah Townsend said supervisor Chris McPherren terminated her employment and escorted her from the building after she defied a company policy that prohibits political statements about the war on Iraq in the workplace but allows displaying the American flag... 'People who don't say, 'Rah, rah, support the war' are told they have to shut up,' said Townsend, 25. 'It was obvious in that environment that a pro-war attitude was acceptable, while a pro-peace mindset was not.' Two ACT employees confirmed Monday that Townsend was fired for not removing the button.' - Wave that flag! - link. Courtesy of democrats.com. {Comments in link mouseovers = sarcasm alert}
ABC television is being threatened with a boycott if it airs a show starring Janeane Garofalo. The network is said to be flooded with messages from
"We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein," a typical flagwaving asswipe e-mailed ABC. - link

"I think as a nation periodically, you have to put your foot down and just let people know there's a line you don't go beyond," - Dennis Miller, waterboy for the bush misadministration.
