With HBO now showing “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial” (to be re-run from 7-9 PM EST/PST tonight and again at 11:30 PM EST/PST), featuring a “who's who” of artists, I thought I'd provide my list of one hundred celebrities planning to celebrate Obama's inauguration over the next few days in DC.

I've collated the list of people and groups -- those scheduled to perform, appear at an event or ball or listed on a host committee (many will participate in more than one event) -- from a bunch sources, starting with the AP's Thursday article, “Hollywood on the Potomac: Where the stars will be.” I supplemented that with the WashingtonPost.com's “Party Central” and its The Sleuth blog, USAToday.com's entertainment blog and MSNBC.com's The Scoop blog. Those with an * are taking part in the Lincoln Memorial event, the rights to which HBO paid the inaugural committee $2.5 million.

Oh. My.

Oh. My. Gawd.

Coincidence????

The Lincoln thing again!!

Obama is the one who keeps trying to connect himself with Lincoln. 

He came to Washingon, then left to come back by train like Lincoln????????? A grand entrance, not just showing up to get the girls to school. I've said many times he seems way too comfortable in this idol role.

This is like a guy who gives makes up a cool nickname for himself and then says "Everyone calls me......" 

I'm sorry to hear about

Tom Hanks, Will Smith, and Denzel Washington. Couldn't care less about the others.

I was also surprised at seeing Garth's name on this list.  Josh Groban kind of surprised me too although I don't know much about him other than his beautiful singing of hymns so maybe it's not surprising to others.

I do appreciate this list of people so I know who not to support in the future other than the standard wackos!

Republicans believe every day is the 4th of July.  Democrats believe every day is April 15th ~ Ronald Reagan

Whats the big deal here?

These folks are happy that the candidate they voted for is going to sworn in a few days.

As far as I know at least half of the folks on this list have not made any mean comments publicly against George Bush and Republican party.

Your not going to support Grobin or Garth Brooks anymore because they are taking part in a Presidential celebration?

He had my vote

→ I'm with you, Shawn

It's no big deal who performs.  Nothing wro9ng with congratulating Obama.  I do.

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Same.....

let them celebrate. We'll have plenty to discuss later!

Garth is no surprise

His sister is gay.  Just listen to the lyrics of "We Shall Be Free" and you will see his more liberal views.

'Sweet creeping Jeezus,

'Sweet creeping Jeezus, Garth Brooks? We have truly lost the Republic.'

 Hardly. Garth Brooks is a complete moron. Always has been. And his music sucks. Hard. Let them have him. I'd be ashamed to claim him a political ally. Two words: Chris Gaines.  

There was one song I liked from the Chris Gaines experiment

The remake song....I hate getting old, what was the name of it?  "Try to Love One Another Right Now" is part of it.

Had to look it up

"Right Now"

I just like the lyrics....basically, how everybody blames everybody for everything.

sorry for what?

→ Biden knows what, and when

But it will really be the result of Joe Biden secretly knowing of the plot ("Mark my words"), and doing nothing about it.

He is aware of this definite threat as a result of his Chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

We need to remember this when Biden's prophecy comes true.

All for the honor and glory of Obama.

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

On that I think you're wrong, connman

One of the clearest successes of the Bush administration has been being terror-free in the USA since 9/11.

If the Islamofascists terrorize us once again, it will NOT be W's fault. It will be in Obama's hands.

He said it would be blamed on Bush, not that HE thought it would be Bush's fault.

In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.

These damn lefties....who do they think they are....?

Or maybe I should say, "Who do they think we think they are..?"

Was there anyone on that list who wasn't a millionaire many times over? Was there anyone on that list who hasn't been on a private jet or vacationed in Thailand or Cab Wabo...?

These are people who live in a bubble that where ever they go there is  always someone waiting to fall all over themselves just to please them. They live in a world where they are always brilliant and always right.No one ever disagrees with them.

Do you think Tom Hanks or Leonardo Dicaprio ever have to listen to someone tell them "Hey ...why don't you STFU with that leftie sh!t...?They wouldn't know what to do.They would probably call the police to report an assault.With the exception of being part of a royal family they live at the very top of the world's ladder.Who are they to give lectures?

That is why they think that they are always right.

"We're brilliant.Go ahead and ask anyone here...they'll tell ya'"

 

Because with a name like Obama... you know it has to be good.

The rocker with red glasses is an idiot

He just included Hamas in with others around the world who want freedom.  What an idiot.

Hamas wants the entire obliteration of the State of Israel. Hamas is not about freedom.  Hamas is all about hate.  About death.  About ignorance.  About entrapment.  About killing millions of Jews.  What a moron this guy is.  

All the druggies, losers, and relativists are in Washington DC this evening at the concert.  I've had it.

I'm home working today (lawyer) and have the HBO concert on my computer (it's a live broadcast online from HBO.com).

Our country is in for some big trouble, and with an inexperienced socialist at the helm.  Not good. I'm with Rush on this one--I don't want Obama's policies to succeed--because they're socialist policies.  And I worked the phones to stop my legislators from voting for all the bailouts. Heck, I called the White House.  Nothing helped.  

And one more thing.

Why is the press not screaming at the cost of this drug-fest? 

    LOL  That's one

    LOL  That's one angle I hadn't thought about.  The list would shrink dramatically if it's announced that all persons performing will be drug tested.

   Perhaps we should call this gathering:  Woodstock on the Potomac.

Trust me--there's drugs everywhere in DC

That's how the Democrats are--relativists.  It's okay to do drugs--as long as you make lots of money or go to rehab and come out of it with a good story.

How many lives destroyed?  How many people dead?  They don't care.  

And Tom Hanks calling Mormons who supported California's Proposition 8 "un-American?"  What is that? Talk about censorship, and condemnation toward a religious group for standing up for what they believe in--Hanks is ridiculous.

And one more thing.

Look out for Obama's street goon squad coming soon.  He'll have a fancy name for it.  But watch out for it folks. 

→ Nuthin' Fancy

He's already labelled it the National Security Force, and he says it will be be as big as the military.

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

   Yeah, lefties are much

   Yeah, lefties are much more tolerant of casual drug use.  Why?  Let's just say it makes people more 'docile'. 

"Look out for Obama's

"Look out for Obama's street goon squad coming soon.  He'll have a fancy name for it.  But watch out for it folks. "

"We Are One:" [what?] A

"We Are One:" [what?]

  • A soon-to-be-screwed democracy?
  • An upcoming laughing stock in the Middle East?
  • A country free from a past of racial transgressions and no longer in need of affrimative action?
  • A country strolling quietly into Socialism?
  • A mob of camera-seeking narcisists, forever patting ourselves on the back just for being us? 
  • A soon-to-be former superpower?

Don't count me in.

I was not, am not, and never will be part of "WE ARE ONE."  They can go to hell in a handbasket with their socialist ideals.  Your points are all correct.

Whatever happened to independence? To being self-made? To being a free thinker?  Clearly, the new wave does not see these as valuable.

And don't get me started on how the Democrats want everyone to be victims who will look to the government to solve all their problems. They can screw themselves. 

Here's a question for a

Here's a question for a Democrat:

 

"What is the definition of dissent?" 

 

→ That's easy

It's like when Jesse Jackson tells his secretary "I want dissent over to President Obama"

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Hahaha- I'm still

Hahaha- I'm still laughing...

You need

to post a spew alert when you post something that good, CA.  And I just lost my respect for Garth, can't believe he'd do something like this.  The rest of those Lame-O's, yeah, I wouldn't expect anything more from them.  

and another question?

I see Harry Belafonte is at the big bash too. Just wondering, will he be calling BHO the latest "House Negro" or no?

attorneygirl... They can

attorneygirl...

They can screw themselves.

...and that is exactly what they are going to do in the long run, give 'em time...even the msm isn't going to be able to save them.

→ Yes they can

But let's hope they don't develop asexual procreative abilities.

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

I hate that phrase

It is such a lie....it's more like "yes, you will pay"

Hopefully next year it gets voted down as the most overused phrase in 2008/2009

yeah

But they're going to screw US while they're at it, thank God for the Cayman Islands.

They can screw themselves.

Yep, but they have to finish screwing us, first.

I am so with you. I live in Colorado and have heard various local talk radio hosts saying they will support Obama but . . .

Not me. I hope he and his thugs (that's includes Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the sleaze in Congress) fall flat on their faces. I support America and don't like what the Dems have planned for MY country. I want no part of the WE ARE ONE. Count me out.

I smell revolution in the air.

 

We are one? One what?

Hey...just cause you're one, doan mean we all are.  I'm not one and will never be one with "The One".

You are not of the body...join the body and know the peace of Landru...I mean Obama...

(The Return of the Archons...sorry...couldn't help myself) 

And what's the crap about "Welcome to this celebration of American renewal." ?  Renewal of what?  I am and always have been a proud American.  What the hell do they think is being renewed? All I see is a cult of personality, and not much of that.

This whole damned travesty is the result of two things. Forgive me if I state the obvious...

Sheeple, that get their news from Colbert, Stewart, The View, GMA etc.  and believe every damn bit of it...too busy with bread and circuses to really understand what is being done or said by thier beloved leaders.  Emotion instead of intellect...not a good way to make a decision.

Secondly, a willing and powerful partner in the MSM, to distort, twist and exploit those stories that further the leftist agenda, (This time, the election of Obambi..) while ignoring anything that fails to.

We have been betrayed by those entrusted with the power and the responsibility to keep their sorry opinions/preferences/bias to themselves when reporting news.  They failed us on a regular basis.

Betrayed by those whose responsibility it is to protect us from the very government they now work hand in hand with.  No good will come of this. 

Let us hope that at some point, they will get so screwed by Obama, some real news may make it to air. But I aint countin' on it.

  Well I'm no fizzacist but I believe black is just an illusion of the eye.  The eye can only see a small band of the electromagnetic spectrum but if we could see all of it we would see one big blinding light.  Perhaps that wouldn't be too useful though.

I don't think so

Since even light cannot escape a black hole, I don't think there would be any blinding light to witnes.

That's about as far as my theoretical processes can comprehend.

Some waves we call sound, some radio, and some light.  Inasmuch as we cannot see sound, can we assign a "color" to it?

I think we get into "frequencies" then.

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

  Actually I have read

  Actually I have read where certain people could 'see' sound.  And also some people on acid have reported hearing color and seeing sound.  But what I meant that we wouldn't see black, not even a black hole because we are surrounded by electromagnetic waves so we actually wouldn't see anymore.  Our eyes would be overwhelmed.

Cool... I think that once

I think that once again it's been shown that nothing is as simple as black and white.  Not even black and white.

I guess it's all in how you look at it!

Maybe they are Steeler fans

Or Ravens, they have black too.

Either that or they have gained weight (since recessions do that, as well as holidays) and are trying to look slim...

You have a stronger stomach than I...

I can't stand to see Obambi in a still photo, let alone him and a bunch of his worshipers live. Just the thought of watching it makes my skin crawl.

I thought Garth was a good ole country boy.  Guess not.

Maybe Garth just hasn't

Maybe Garth just hasn't been in the news enough lately...

You know, I don't think everyone who attends the inaguration should be put on the sh*t list, but their words of praise and expectations should be re-visited next year. I'd hate to see the same kind of open vitriol by conservatives that liberals showed for Bush, and I'd hate to see ODS highlighted in lib blogs for the next four years. But ultimately, all these people who assume that BHO will save us all from ourselves will need to re-evaluate him as time goes on. So, let them make their statements, proclaimations, and utterly embarrass themselves with their hero-worship; if they prove to be fools, it'll be a painful fall.

Sorry

Sorry, but I'm waaay beyond open vitriol. I've made it to revulsion already and the coronation hasn't even happened yet.

I'm seeing my beloved country being sold to the highest bidder, after all the blood shed by patriots to keep her free.

This whole mess is reminding me of Revelations and the rise of the Beast.

I thought Faith Hill was a good ole country gal. At least we know now who the better half is in her marriage.

She came out and supported the idiot Dixie Chicks in their hypocritical first amendment martyr campaign, along with her dumbass hubby who, btw, is rumored to want to run for office as...a Democrat. Hill also bashed Bush over Katrina while her hubby is on the record as praising Bill Clinton. Morons.

I'm Not Watching It Either

And will not watch any of this today, tomorrow, or Tuesday.  Didn't watch it yesterday, either.  They are having a Dr. G - Medical Examiner marathon on Discovery Health and, surprisingly, that's less depressing than watching the Obamalamadingdong-fest.  It's going to be a looooooooooooooong four years.  Ugh.  

Oh, The Troubadours

This has been my sticky wicket over the last eight years.

Many of the actors and actresses listed hither and yon were, at one time, most respected by me.

It's difficult these days to separate the actors' and actresses' craft from their politics and it most certainly colors the way I view them and their work.

Some, so vehement in their hate of President Bush, for purely hate-filled reasons, having absolutely no basis in fact, I find it impossible to watch or purchase anything containing their viasage or voice.

When many of these "politically active" actors and actresses "speak out" against conservative or Bush-related policies, they don't even know what they're talking about.  Tim Robbins being interviewed by Bill O'Reilly's Jessie Waters is one highlight that will always stick in my craw.  Robbins had no "back-up", just MoveOn talking points by rote.

Susan Sarandon and Jane Fonda were equally lackluster in their interviews conducted at the same "hate Bush" rally.

The crowds whipped into blind and hate-filled frenzies by dyed-in-the-wool Bush-hating liberal musicians is frightening.  That an entire segment of our population is completely unable to think for themselves is even more frightening.

How can anyone give so many of these actors and actresses creedence or even lend them an ear?

  It's easy, when your a

 
It's easy, when your a rich celebrity making your money in other countries as well, you become a citizen of the world. Naked ambition always trumps patriotism.

Plus you can always board your private jet and hop off to some island you've bought halfway around the world with your own private security force when America goes in the toilet.

Most of us don't have that luxury.

 

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "

- Ben Kenobi on  Liberals, and the MSM.

" The Cake is a lie."   

Why shouldn't they listen to them?

I mean, after all, these are people who sing songs for a living.  If that's not good enough we have so many actors and actresses who are telling the people what they should think.  Who better to advise us about the direction of our country than people who basically are pretending to be other people in movies and televsion shows.  

I always thought it was funny that actors who portray REAL people in the REAL world, think of themselves as experts in the topics of global economics, national security, international law, terrorism, etc.

Don't you remember the 2-minutes Hate from 1984?

Bush is the new Goldstein to the liberals.  They froth at the mouth in their abject hatred for this man.  They become irrational in such a physical way.  You can see it happen or hear it in their voices or in their writing.  It's truly deranged.  But this is what you get when you dumb down a society for 40 years (the point at which I believe society in America began its downward spiral culturally and educationally). This "celebration" is going to be chock full of vitriol towards Bush as much as it will be about worshiping "The One".  (I liked the Landru reference someone made earlier - it fits perfectly.) We are to become one with the body.  We are "one" now.  Not individuals, not self sufficient, but now there will be a concerted effort to kill off individuality and merit achievements.  The effort will now be to make everyone have equality of outcome no matter what the effort put into something by and individual was.The past four years have been a virtual setup to enact the story of 1984 in the real world.  Bad stories about liberals get dumped down the memory hole. Facts about conservatives find there way in that hole too (Valerie Plame, 9/11, those responsible for the Katrina fiasco, etc., etc... ) Then the version of reality that they want you to know is broadcast far and wide via the largest liberal "news" and "entertainment" agencies in the world (not to mention the revisionist things being taught to our children in government run schools).  Everyone should read this and Animal Farm along with Atlas Shrugged (before Hollywood get hold of it soon and changes the entire intent of the story to their agenda - "The Day the Earth Stool Still" anyone? Ugh!")  Also read "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom" by David Kupelian.

Education and resistance is how we will weather this coming social and political disaster.

Wow.  Americans baffle me

Wow.  Americans baffle me sometimes with the idol worship that is shown to your acting crowd.  Why so much importance placed upon people who, quite frankly, represent the worst traits in human behaviour (save for cannibalism)?

 I like the way we do things here in Canada.  We don't really pay attention to actors (unless your 16) and I think the Prime Minister has a few people over for a nice dinner when he/she (yes we had one) is elected.

The fanfare paid BHO equals that of Chuck and Di's wedding.  If Americans are that desperate for royalty, why don't you just become part of England again??

→ You're right Aizlynne

Or we could just move to Canada if we want to adore somebody else's monarchy.

Evidently your not too

Evidently your not too familiar with Ezra Lavant and The Canadian Human Rights Commision and their attempts at branding conservative speech hate speech and having conservative blogs shut down and their creators drug before them in kangaroo show trials.

Canada has been making positive strides as of late, and I guess America is desperate for royalty, but could you please tell us what you call your mounties and your highways again.

Alynne...

You are making a very valid point.

Thanks for the list

These wackos can be put on the media-not list

Well maybe there's a chance...

Well, you can only hope that they're not all Dems and or libs... But a
couple of the names did surprise me as well, Steve Carell, Billy Ray, and
Garth, being at the top. However someone made the point down below that at
least they're not on the record as having made anti Bush \ US \ McCain
comments... Hopefully anyway.

Tim Robins and his mother,  Steven Spielbergo, and Oprah... Not so much
surprise.

Post-inauguration:  I will

Post-inauguration:  I will be marching with my local catholic church to San Francisco (Sodom-by-the-bay) for the Walk of Life anti-abortion group.  And on Wednesday, I will try to make it to the Moraga, CA campus of St. Mary's College, to protest the speaking engagement of Bill Ayers, the unrepentant domestic terrorist.

semolina_filcher, Speaking

semolina_filcher,

Speaking of Bill Ayers...he is also speaking at FSU (in my home State). I am in shock that a public University would let this guy on campus to speak to all those impressionable students. (tongue in cheek). What a disgrace our Universities have become.

 

My biggest problem with this whole "party"

 ... is this is the celebration GW Bush should be getting for keeping our country safe (not so pleased about his involvement in the economy, though).  People say history will be kind to Bush, and I agree, as long as a bunch of revisionists cant get to the history books.  Sadly, I think that will be the case...

  This party might be OK for the "ONE", but how about after a term, or even ONE day, for that matter! B.O. has literally not done anything, and this hero worship is a little to freaky to me!  I hope the best for my country, and even Obama, but in him you are going to see a man who makes no decisions; his personal history shows that to be the case.

And real "working Americans" will be getting up Tuesday and going to work to help pay for this excessive coronation!

Ok I admit it

I got kind of naueous when I saw Sanford & Son seeing Solid as Barack. :-)

He had my vote

→ Shawn

I know it's oft-repeated until it's become accepted, but originally "nauseous" was an adjective used to describe the effect of a stimulous on a person.

To say "I am nauseous" is to say "I have a revolting effect on others"

Correct grammar is "I am nauseated".  Meaning that your threshold for nausea has been breached.

Now I must investigate whether I should have used "affect" rather than "effect".

"the rights to which HBO

"the rights to which HBO paid the inaugural committee $2.5 million."

Hmmm, the 'inaugural committee'...is that a subsidiary of Obama 2.0?

Elvis Costello...that's rich.  Years ago he got drunk and said America was a 'f---ed country' and that Ray Charles was a 'dumb, blind, n------er'.  A white bar fly got pissed and slapped him upside his head. 

I wonder if or when Sarah Palin gets elected there will be this much hooplah-I mean, after all, her election would indeed be just as 'historic' (they all are, duh...)?  Or if that's just if Shrillary gets elected?

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Garth Brooks is Agressively Liberal on Gay Rights

Garth Brooks is aggressively liberal on gay "rights."  

In 1992, at the height of his popularity, he released "We Shall Be Free" from the LP The Chase as a single.  Since his first single reached the Hot Country Singles chart in 1989 and got has high as #8, Brooks never had a 45 peak any lower than #2. When "Free" only got as high as #12, Brooks claimed it was due to some people's objection to the line "When we're free to love anyone we choose..." and the inclusion of a brief clip of tennis legend and well-known lesbian Martina Navratilova in the video for the song. The controversy led his sister -- a member of his band -- to come out of the closet.      

"Well, I've got nothing against the press...they wouldn't print it if it wasn't true..." -- Joe Jackson, "Sunday Papers"

He's also aggressively

He's also aggressively liberal on sucking. 

Only two names surprise me on this list ...

Rick Schroeder -- whom I remember being spoken of as a hardcore Republican -- and Billy Ray Cyrus, who has been the headliner at Sean Hannity's Freedom Concerts along with the likes of Charlie Daniels and Hank Williams Jr., who are 100% against Democrats' agenda.

  • Liberals will conveniently forget that Harry Belafonte called Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice "house slaves" for GWB.  
  • They are in blissful ignorance that John Mellencamp stunned the oh-so-intellectual Charlie Rose by admitting that he is a pacifist, and wouldn't even support attacking Al Qaeda strongholds in  Afghanistan after 9/11. 
  • Spike Lee suggested that the Bush Admin might have deliberately destroyed the levees in New Orleans to clear out the black electorate in time for the 2006 elections, citing the Tuskegee Experiments as "proof" the Federal government is racist, and ready and willing to engage in ethnic cleansing.
  • BTW -- when did Elvis Costello become an American?

America Lost

Here we have one of the largest, most famous collection of Socialists attempting to facilitate a blatant takeover of our country through their political ''entertainment''. Many of these people I once admired (like Tom Hanks and Garth Brooks) and many others I had listened to or watched them for years.

No more. My money will not go to assist these people or their causes. Pity, too. I was working in the kitchen today and I was listening to one of my favorite old CDs - Bonnie Raitt, 'Longing In Their Hearts'. Some of the best, most moving music ever made. If she came out, today, with an album touted as better than either this one or 'Nick Of Time', I would not buy it.

Shut up and sing. Shut up and act. And Rosie, just shut up.

Round and Round

Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long.
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows,
It won't be long, it won't be long.

Round and Round (It won't be long)
