As Americans, we enjoy the privilege of freedom of speech and the right to express our opinions.
Thanks to the celebrity-obsessed American culture that has made them famous, made them millionaires, made them think they are somehow special, some celebrity fools use their so-called celebrity status as a national platform from which to spew their pompous 'blame-America-first' rhetoric.
Some of the bigger fools (note: this does not refer to personal body size):
Rosie O'Donnell: “Don’t fear the terrorists. They’re mothers and fathers.”
Rosie O'Donnell: "What does a president have to do to be impeached?"
Rosie O'Donnell: ""655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?"
Elizabeth Hasselbeck: ""Wait, who are you calling terrorists now? Americans?"
O'Donnell: "I'm saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?
Michael "Loser" Moore: "They (Americans) are possibly the dumbest people on the planet ... "
Michael "Loser Moore": These bastards who run our country are a bunch of conniving, thieving, smug pricks who need to be brought down and removed and replaced with a whole new system that we control."
"Hanoi" Jane Fonda: On the Vietnam War POWs:
""These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed. The POWs who said they had been tortured were exaggerating, probably for their own self-interests."
And she wasn't finished.
When American Vietnam War POWs began to return home, some of them having been held captive for up to nine years, and describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Ms Fonda told the country that they should "not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars".
JJane Fonda: "I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."
Barbra Streisand: "Clinton's pardons have no impact on the health and welfare of the American people."
Harry Belafonte: "If you believe in freedom, if you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy, you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro!"
Madonna: "If I were President, Howard Stern would get kicked out of the country - and Roman Polanski would be allowed back in." "
Cameron Diaz: "We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. If you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote."
This is just
Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson
on the 9-11 terrorist attacks: ""I just think we are a little bit of an arrogant nation and maybe this is a little bit of a humbling experience ... "
"In times of disorder and stress, the fanatics play a prominent role; in times of peace, the critics. Both are shot after the revolution."
- --Edmund Wilson, Memoirs of Hecate County
