Don’t you find it comical when supposedly tolerant, antiwar Hollywoodans feel the need to hurl childish epithets at their political opponents as they’re feigning moral superiority?
Such was certainly the case Friday when actor Tim Robbins published a scathing article about President Bush and the remaining percentage of Americans that still support the war in Iraq.
Maybe even more ironic was the title, “Our Better Adult,” and the assertion by Robbins that he and his ilk are the mature ones in America as he callously insulted the most powerful man in the world thusly (emphasis mine throughout):
So here we are again. A new year faces us, a clear message has been sent to Washington - and some might say the world - by the people of the United States. Get out of Iraq. And the idiot drunk of a president says, "I hear you."
Yes, Tim, that’s certainly behaving like a better adult. Yet, that was just the beginning of his vitriolic attack:
We are, despite the recent vote, still living in our fiction. We are still living in Orwell's Oceania, where truth has been turned on its ear, where black is white, day is night, and ignorance is strength. We live in a country that allows impeachment for a president that lied about an extra marital affair but reacts with contempt at the idea that lying about war is a punishable offense. The hundreds of thousands of dead, injured, and uprooted by this unnecessary invasion should just get over it. We meant well. There is no crime in lies that lead to death, only in lies that lead to semen stains. As long as this fiction, this absurd, diabolically criminal fiction is accepted we will remain in our prepubescent hysteria, wallowing in the pit that we allowed our leaders to dig us into, looking up at a mountain of twisted steel, breathing in the smoldering acrid air of our own failure, our own betrayal of our better adult.
Speaking of our better adult, how about that time in March 2003, Tim, when you threatened the life of the Washington Post’s Lloyd Grove all because he had the nerve to interview Susan Sarandon’s Republican mother? Remember the words you whispered in Grove’s ear according to his March 25, 2003 article in the Post: "If you ever write about my family again, I will [bleeping] find you and I will [bleeping] hurt you."
What was that you were saying about prepubescent hysteria, Tim?

February 17, 2007 - 14:51 ET by Andrew H.You nailed it well, bigtimer--it would be one thing to disagree with how the war is being waged--there's plenty of us who feel we should have used more and bigger bombs--but to call the President, a man Tim can never match intellectually--names is silly. It pretty well defines the sender.
All he does is make me more set against seeing or renting anything he's done. He remembers lines!!! He would have us defeated. Thank God he will never be in charge of anything.

Therefore claim X is false ' "Bush, who is expected to have a one-inch scab for a week to 10 days as a result of the removal, has suffered the effects of sun exposure in the past. "

February 17, 2007 - 20:15 ET by ckc1227"and never sending their own children to harms way"
I assume you refer to the President, so help me out here. When did his daughters join the military, and can you document for me in any way that they are receiving special treatment there because of their status that prevents them from being sent into harms way?
Obviously you're quite slow, so I'll help you out. We have an all-volunteer military. No one is forced to join. Still, since you have a problem with using the military to do what they signed up for and are trained to do, who would you prefer he send in? The NFL? Wal-Mart cashiers?
Funny thing is, these people would fight harder than you ever would for this country's freedom; the same freedom with which you clearly have a problem since you advocate forcing people to do things they aren't interested in doing.

Kerry also enjoyed a lot of POT during college years- MSM- NOTHING
O'Bama - admitted COKE HEAD - MSM- NOTHING

First, Craig Crawford and now, Tim Robbins.
"There is no crime in lies that lead to death, only in lies that lead to semen stains."
And there you have it. The basis for all the hatred and vile abuse heaped on this President regarding the War on Terror. The so-called de-coupling from the American people, the so-called 'voices' from God, the so-called great...
'Lie'.
They just hate Bush. They want an impeachment because their 'guy' was impeached. They think they have to get 'revenge' for the Clinton stuff.
Not a pretty picture.
And 'adult' has nothing to do with it, of course. The adults are in charge, thank goodness, and nothing will change that for two years. Think about that. Two years.
I'm reminded of the rant, in the SF Chronicle (I no longer have the link) of the guy who raged on for about 1,000 words about how he just was going nuts that Bush was going to be President until 2008.

to tell the truth
February 21, 2007 - 22:46 ET by tumbler_2007I've seen the last few of Robbins' movies with an open mind. Before and after his recent mouthings off at Bush and the Iraq war.
He really CAN'T act, friends. Seriously.
To me, a 69 yr-old lifelong movie buff; an actor of merit is one who makes a role come to life. He can do that either by skilled acting and force of personality, like a Jimmy Cagney or Edward G. Robinson. Or later Cary Grant and Gary Cooper; these days only very few. I say Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp. Robbins isn't even in the same league, though he's not an ugly personality. He has never acted at all; just frowned, scowled, pouted. That can't make a role come to life. To be strictly fair; that isn't his fault. Not everybody has talent. He certainly has gone far without any, IMHO. Is it by marrying his Susan broad? What do you think, is the Pope a Catholic?

February 17, 2007 - 15:38 ET by acaiguanaGotta disagree with you here Richard Romano.
There seems to be some confusion about the military on this site at times and people's rights. The military doesn't 'grant' rights to people. The Constitution grants these rights.
The military is sworn to uphold the Constitution under civilian leaders.
That's what sets this country apart.

February 27, 2007 - 19:59 ET by presprodefACA and Richard--- Gotta quibble with you both.
The Declaration of Independence clearly states that our rights are endowed by our Creator. The Constitution enumerates these rights. The military protects us so we can actually enjoy our rights.

February 27, 2007 - 20:14 ET by acaiguanapresprodef - it is a distinction. It's just wrong in this context.
The courts do not use the Declaration of Independence as a root document for their decisions. They use the Constitution. That is a singular difference in the documents. The Constitution was ratified by the States, written long after the Declaration and the two documents are sequential in nature; but not germane to each other's role in our legal system.
That's pretty much my point.

In Tim Robbins own words: Idiot, Drunk, Druggie
February 17, 2007 - 15:54 ET by Jack BauerIn Tim Robbins own words: An Idiot and a Drunk and a Druggie
IDIOT QUOTES:
Meets the world's press on TV, at the National Press Club, Wasington to claims his opinions are being "chilled". Finishes with this monemental idiotic wail...
"Helen Thomas finds herself banished to the back of the room and uncalled on.."
Wow!
DRUNK QUOTES
I was more interested in getting drunk and getting laid than in reading a newspaper."
"I've also used drugs that I do consider to be dangerous, drugs that are potentially detrimental to kids and society at large"
Poor Timmy, Suzie, Babs, Sean....
February 17, 2007 - 16:39 ET by ConspiracyWashed-up, has-beens--what better way to get the attention they crave than to use anti-war rallies and the media to listen to their pointless rhetoric. You know I wish there was one anti-war spokesperson out there that made some point worth debating or even thinking about--instead we get these empty-headed, has-been clowns pretending they care about anything except their own relevance.
Conspiracy,The closest person
February 17, 2007 - 16:43 ET by NeoConfirmedConspiracy,
The closest person you'll find that fits your wish would be Mike Farrell (BJ on M*A*S*H). Although he's anti-war and definitely far left, I have to admit that he does articulate his position quite well.

Tim Robbins, Michael Moore, A
February 17, 2007 - 17:36 ET by jonathanandersonTim Robbins, Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin, and everyone else in the Film Actors Guild (hat tip to Team America) are perfectly illustrated here :
Jude 1:8-13
(8) Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion [just government], and speak evil of dignities [like President Bush].
(9) Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee."
(10) But these speak evil of those things which they know [understand] not : but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things [their accusations and slander] they corrupt themselves.
(12) ... clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
(13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

S.A.G., not F.A.G.
February 18, 2007 - 12:54 ET by nkviking75I believe the proper name of the organization is Screen Actors Guild (SAG), not Film Actors Guild (FAG).
I can assure you, according
February 18, 2007 - 12:58 ET by Jack BauerI can assure you, according to the documentary Team America: World Police, it is F.A.G.
And if lib***ls teach us anything it is this: if it's in a Hollywood produced documentary it must be true.
Team America
February 18, 2007 - 13:04 ET by nkviking75OK, I hadn't seen the film or even recognized the title.

February 21, 2007 - 22:31 ET by MightyMouthIt's a must own viking, "Team America: World Police" It has everything. Politics, gayness, puking, puppet sex, terrorists, explosions, actors, blood and guts, dictators, shark attacks, and a bonus: Paris gets destroyed (oops, sorry for the spoiler).

February 17, 2007 - 19:54 ET byFrom what I know, Bush's past drinking is at the foot of the cross, and it is only Satan who would seek to throw it up at him today. I have never heard of a smart drunk. I think the correct way to say such, would be "Drunken idiot," and it would not be shocking to learn that well over half of Hollywood falls into that category at least 50% of their adult lives. And I have never even heard of Tim Robbins.
Why, Tim Robbins is a fountai
February 17, 2007 - 20:22 ET by ckc1227Why, Tim Robbins is a fountain of intellect. When recently asked about all the Iraqis who will be slaughtered if we leave too soon, his eloquent, well-thought out informative answer was " Gee, you look pretty young, you should sign up". BRILLIANT, Tim, lol. You should be a politician.
Seriously, these guys should stick to doing what they do best, which is express other people's thoughts and words, as they are seldom qualified to express their own, as they prove time and time again.
Dear UN and Al Gore,
If you don't drop this global warming crap, we will invade your countries, kill your leaders, and convert you to Christianity.

February 18, 2007 - 02:16 ET by Jack HamiltonTiny Tim Robbins is a moron him and his ilk really think that they are in the majority that they are the plurality of opinion on the war. They are idiots and before the end of this year people will be ready to throw this politically correct idiots out. These cowards are not worthy of the freedom that has been passed on to them by people that have given there lives and bodies for it. They will never understand. It is absurd as well to think that because these boobs make a movie or sing a song that they possess wisdom in matters of life and death to this nation. They need there butts back making there dirty movies and leave serious things to serious people. What ever happened to that chill wind he talked about? Must have been from the beer and pickled eggs.

February 18, 2007 - 02:21 ET by terrigThere is an expletive I would like to call him and his ilk but I can still taste the Camay in my mouth. I think you all know what I would like to call him. Why doesn't he get off his lazy ass along with his bastard children and get the hell out and take his skank with him.
As for Lakeland, Fl's own Mrs. Tomlinson-who cares what her pseudo s-i-l says. Yes, he was whinning about 4 years ago that the grand dames of Lakeland, FL, had cx'd a speech by his skank and how it upset Mrs. Tomlinson of Lakeland, FL-IE: Sarandon's old lady. I know, not nice and yes, I feel better now.

Re: Tim Robbins
If you desire for me to watch any of your movies, I would suggest leaving Mr. Robbins out of them, as I will no-longer waste my time and my hard-earned money to view anything he is a part of.
Dave........
I think it is way, way passed time for Tim Robbins to re-deploy himself. He would make a perfect Euro-weenie.

on screen but not on camera
February 18, 2007 - 19:02 ET by m1xramWhy do we even listen to the Hollyweed crowd? They are paid actors and do very well when a script is before them, well some do anyway. Without a script their clueless nature shines bright, illuminating us with their dullness and complete disconnect with reality.
To his credit I will agree that we are living in Orwell's Oceania. Liberals twist turn and brake the truth and then accuse conservatives of rewriting history.
Which one of these things happened? The first was substantiated and the second wasn't. Lying is truth and truth is lying, all very Orwellian.
Robbins is affraid we will do what they are doing, it is human nature. Thieves are affaid that someone will steal their stuff and liars are sure they're being lied to. Facts are irrelavent.
What Robbins can't wrap his t
February 18, 2007 - 19:21 ET by MikeBWhat Robbins can't wrap his tiny little coked-out mind around is ol' Horndog wasn't impeached for having extramarital sex, or even lying to the people about it. He was impeached for perjuring himself in a court of law, obstruction of justice, suborning perjury and conspiracy to obstruct justice. You can read the articles of impeachment here.

February 18, 2007 - 19:43 ET by MikeBHmmmm... well, let me try again here...
There were four articles of impeachment, but articles 2 and 4 were rejected by the House, Article 1 failed in the Senate 45-55, and Article 3 failed in the Senate 50-50. Which means he was impeached, but not convicted. Comrade Bubba was disbarred by the State of Arkansas for his reprehensible behavior. Too bad the U.S. Senate did not have the honesty and integrity to convict.

Team America
February 20, 2007 - 12:28 ET by ammo johnIt's funny, that I had just bought the movie "Team America" over the weekend, and watched it TWICE just to see these liberal losers from F.A.G. (Film Actors Guild) get it in the end!
