Does the “Hey Celebrity Shut Up” rule also apply to, say, Chuck Norris and Jon Voight, or only liberal celebrities? 

Does the “Hey Celebrity Shut Up” rule also apply to, say, Chuck Norris and Jon Voight, or only liberal celebrities? 

Well seeing how 95% of Hollywood is outspokenly and often radically liberal (and part of that evil 1%), I’m pretty sure your argument revolving around a handful of conservative celebrities is pretty silly.

So because there are more liberal celebrities than conservative ones, only the liberal ones should keep their opinions to themselves? How does that make any sense? 

Question : what will Obama do if there is a war between Argentina and the United Kingdom ? What about the so-called special relationship ?

Let’s quote Lady Thatcher (The Downing Street Years, 1993) : ‘We were defending our honour as a nation, and principles of fundamental importance to the whole world – above all, that aggressors should never succeed and that international law should prevail over the use of force.’

Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Margaret Thatcher, George W. Bush and Tony Blair,… Will Obama follow this path to defend his european allies, or will he follow the advices of Sean Penn and the american left ?

Yes Obama takes all of his foreign policy advice from Sean Penn, just like Bush took all of his from Jon Voight.

Gayle does not know what she is talking about. 

Penn did nothing in New Orleans? 

The list of senior terrorists killed during the Obama presidency is fairly extensive.

There’s Osama bin Laden,  of course, killed in May.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leader Anwar al-Awlaki as of today.

Earlier this month officials confirmed that al Qaeda’s chief of Pakistan operations, Abu Hafs al-Shahri, was killed in Waziristan, Pakistan.

In August, ‘Atiyah ‘Abd al-Rahman,  the deputy leader of al Qaeda was killed.

In June, one of the group’s most dangerous commanders, Ilyas Kashmiri,  was killed in Pakistan. In Yemen that same month, AQAP senior operatives Ammar al-Wa’ili, Abu Ali al-Harithi, and Ali Saleh Farhan were killed. In Somalia, Al-Qa’ida in East Africa (AQEA) senior leader Harun Fazul was killed.

Administration officials also herald the recent U.S./Pakistani joint arrest of Younis al-Mauritani  in Quetta.

Going back to August 2009, Tehrik e-Taliban Pakistan leader Baitullah Mahsud was killed in Pakistan.

In September of that month, Jemayah Islamiya operational planner Noordin Muhammad Top was killed in Indonesia, and AQEA planner Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed in Somalia.

Then in December 2009 in Pakistan, al Qaeda operational commanders Saleh al-Somali and ‘Abdallah Sa’id were killed.

In February 2010, in Pakistan,  Taliban deputy and military commander Abdul Ghani Beradar was captured; Haqqani network commander Muhammad Haqqani was killed; and Lashkar-e Jhangvi leader Qari Zafar was killed.

In March 2010, al Qaeda operative Hussein al-Yemeni was killed in Pakistan, while senior Jemayah Islamiya operative Dulmatin  - accused of being the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings – was killed during a raid in Indonesia.

In April 2010, al Qaeda in Iraq leaders Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi were killed.

In May, al Qaeda’s number three commander, Sheik Saeed al-Masri was killed.

In June 2010 in Pakistan, al Qaeda commander Hamza al-Jawfi was killed.

Remember when Rudy Giuliani warned that electing Barack Obama would
mean that the U.S. played defense, not offense, against the terrorists?

If this is defense, what does offense look like?

Sean Penn seems to have waded into the issue assuming automatically that the Britain is some colonial oppressor that stole territory from Argentina back in the 80′s and is keeping them against the will of the people when the exact opposite is the case and the people who live there have no real ties to Argentina nor a desire to be Argentinian.

I also love how he seems to think their sending a Prince to serve aboard a rescue helicopter is the equivalent of sending a fleet of warships down there, sorry Sean, the only place royals have superpowers is on a chessboard.

I’m amazed at the balls of Mr. Penn. I still wonder why he hasn’t moved in to live close to one of his mates: Castro, Chavez, and the other Socialist lastin American countried.

Roosevelt, Reagan and Bush were allies. Obama started as neutral. But in March 2010, Hillary Clinton came to Buenos Aires to take the side of Kristina Kirchner, demonstrating a clear shift in US policy. The Obama regisme was giving full support for the official stance of Buenos Aires, despite the fact that Great Britain has made it clear that the sovereignty of the Falklands is non-negotiable. Hillary Clinton made no reference at all to the fact that Argentina threatened a blockade of the Falklands, or that its close ally Venezuela has been threatening war against Britain. This is not the first time that Obama has demonstrated poor judgment in foreign policy, siding against Britain, alienating America’s most loyal and valuable friend. Obama and his adviser Sean Penn can cry for Argentina if they wants to, but the Falklands will be forever British.

Some America-hating fool does some things that are good so they should be given a pass for their misdeeds?   Gee, how ’bout if someone saves a kitten from a tree but instead of returning it to the owner they murder the owner and keep the kitten for themselves?  Should they be given a pass because they saved a kitten?

Sean Penn’s statements are the equivalent of murdering a kitten owner?

Mediate, it should read “actress/singer Michelle Gayle”

Did that guy just say something?  Who knows?

can’t say I understand what Penn’s doing, albeit I haven’t been paying attention to this story closely, that being said, someones gonna have to explain how that comment warrants someone wanting to feed him to the crocs, seems kinda theatrical 

There is a wonderful scene in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator (2004), where the Hepburn family piously declared to Howard Hughes : “Where do you stand on politics ? Because… We’re all socialists here”, and then taking outrage about Roosevelt and mocking him for reading newspapers instead of books, Hughes/Dicaprio saying back something like it was easy for them because they were born in money. 

Kudos to Scorsese for this portrait Hollywood and socialist elites who think that they are better than small entrepreneurs and hard-working people. Nothing has really change (a famous pundit recently wrote that all critics of Obama were “dumb”, and even here on Mediaite we are insulted on a daily basis if we happen to support the G.O.P. and the job creators).

Howard Hughes was a small entrepreneur?! Are all multimillionaires merely small entrepreneurs?

Good old James Whale! I always used to put his radio show on when I sloped in from the pub. Haven’t heard from him in a while.

It was an analogy but given Sean Pean’s penchant for buddying up with America’s enemies, some of whom have killed Americans, I suppose an argument could be made its an appropriate comparison.

Hey Ben Fogle, why would anyone listen to you??

Penn could return his Malibu mansion to Mexico, since Mexico owned California first.

If you look at this story objectively, you’ll find that the same Sean Penn who is shouting this colonialist diatribe on Britain, is the same Hugo Chavez loving-person. A colorful leader indeed. Who believes we send cancer in packages. *chuckles*

Sean Penn who?

1. Hughes was born to money too. More than Katherine was I believe. He inherited a huge amount on his 19th birthday.
2. Your argument doesn’t make sense even if it were true about Hughes. Socialism doesn’t benefit those born to wealth at ALL and I really don’t know how you could think it does unless you are entirely ignorant of what socialism IS and have never so much as even googled it! It’s the lower income earners that benefit. Those born to wealth would see it heavily taxed under a true socialist system.
3. Katherine Hepburn was nothing but a hard worker! She didn’t have to work but she did and she made a huge number of quality films.
4. Only in your mind do people think they’re ‘better’ than you and everyone. No one begrudges small business owners and entrepreneurs. It’s all either in your mind or you are just mindlessly repeating what the Bigs say about liberals. It such a STUPID DUMB thoughtless smear job.

Yeah you’re really making a lot of sense here today! Amazing insight!

I’ve always thought war between Obama led US and the UK was looming, when he steps in to defend Argentina! That’s how it will all go down. Except the right will rebel and split the country and fight alongside the Brits and the big scary libs will of course be packing off all the British Americans and conservative Americans to those re education camps. Then it’ll turn nuclear and the libs will blast the whole world apart and conservatives will be forced to live on those vegetables they’ve grown from their apocalypse seeds they bought from Glenn Beck!
But then that will be VEGETABLES and everyone knows only
Anti American commies eat vegetables so all the brave true warriors on the right due of starvation! And the evil libs win! That’s how it will ALL go down!
