Hollywood liberal opens mouth, removes doubt of his stupidity

Too bad everything he says is right on the mark.

 

Just his opinion, Mr. C. Opened his mouth, answered a question. If you want him to "love it or leave it," well... he left. A lot of people are disappointed in the way our country has changed; I don't think that makes them stupid.

I guess you could always boycott him. But he was hilarious in "Pirates."

 

Agree.
He should get a nomination for "Pirates", imo. Brilliant work.

 

Well, now I won't feel so bad about not going to see his next movie....

Seriously, this is something that is not new in that we have a celebrity using their fame to shoot off their mouth. Yipee.

 

"Pirates" was the first time that I have seen Depp as one who could actually win an Oscar. Brilliant work, he was absolutely hilarious and did a fantastic job.

That being said, do people who aren't conservatives take what actors say about politics seriously? Every time there is an actor (other than Arnold) who talks about politics, the conservatives pitch a fit about their statements, not seeming to realize that the rest of us see that it was Depp who made these comments and brush them off as fluff from an actor. Actually, this is the problem I have with Arnold, I just can't take him seriously when he tries to talk about policy. At least Reagan didn't run for the presidency while he still had a movie in theaters.

 

He answered many questions in the interview. A few were about his movie, some were about his wife, and a few were about American politics. He answered them. The "puppy" comment was pulled from the article, and is getting play in America because it's a hot-button issue here. After all, neutering and puppy mills are pretty controversial now.

It's not like he organized a giant rally to announce his opinions. Just because he's an entertainer doesn't mean he isn't entitled to his thoughts.

Hell, Schwarzennegger, an avowed entertainer, is running for governor.

 

Americans who travel abroad and speak against Bush shouldn't be allowed to come back.

and their families here should be gathered up in the middle of the night and disposed of

we can't have acts of sedition. we need a law. maybe an Alien and Sedition Act. because you can't have people disagreeing with the government.

 

LOL, sure seems like that is what they want, huh?

 

I whipped this out. what do you think?

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That if any persons shall unlawfully combine or conspire together, with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the government of the United States, which are or shall be directed by proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding a place or office in or under the government of the United States, from undertaking, performing or executing his trust or duty, and if any person or persons, with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advise or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly, or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice, or attempt shall have the proposed effect or not, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and on conviction, before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment during a term not less than six months nor exceeding five years; and further, at the discretion of the court may be ho]den to find sureties for his good behaviour in such sum, and for such time, as the said court may direct.

Mr Ashcroft get off this board!

 

that was the original Sedition portion of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, an ignoble moment in early American governance.

 

it's scary to know that John Assmunch has probably never pondered the lessons of the Alien and Sedition acts, and the battle fought over them 200 years ago.

 

you said a mouthfull brother

 

I hope it expired.

 

I didn't say Depp's thoughts were good or bad. Just that his opinions in an article about his movie aren't that big a deal.

He's an actor. It's not like he's the head of a giant organization with millions of members.

 

"I thought sedition had something to do with felching. "
