Tim Robbins Stands Tall On Free Speech, Unsure On Freedom Of Press!

[Jimbo]

Robbins reportedly threatened Washington Post reporter Lloyd Grove for interviewing Sarandon's mother, saying "if you ever write about my family again, I will (bleeping) find you and I will (bleeping) hurt you."

Maybe he was just acting like a "Peace Activist" all of this time?


According to the Post Sarandon's mother claimed in the interview that Robbins and her daughter had "brainwashed" her grandson about the war.

In the press club address Tuesday, Robbins said called "sadistic creep who writes -- or, rather, scratches his column with his fingernails in dirt."


These "Peace Creeps" are self destructing at an alarming rate.
I love it!

Jeez. I think that Robbins needs to ask himself, "What would Ghandi do?" Maybe that might help him. If he's really sincere about being a non-violent person and all.

I'm kind of torn on this one. I feel that their parents should be left alone for their sake because they didn't choose to be int he public spotlight, but on the other hand, if they WANT to be interviewed, then I don't see how he has any say in it.

uhhh, notice how this wasn't a CNN, MSNBC, A/P or Reuters reporter, it was the Washington Post. I still say that media has a very liberal left leaning.

I've got to say that I respect this guys freedom of speech, but what a quack! I don't respect the fact that this guy thinks he's earned the right to make people listen to him. Anybody can yap away all they want everyday, but its everyone else's right to ignore him. And it's also people's right to give him the opportunity to speak. The Baseball Hall of Fame is not a government-run institution, is it? They do NOT owe him anything. Tim Robbin's rights have not been infringed upon in any way shape or form. And as far as his "silent majority" goes, where are they in the polls? Are they too scared to give an anonymous response to an approval rating? If so, the least of their worry's should be the Patriot Act, it should be their mental health. If I'm supposed to feel bad for him because he's experiencing a backlash for his views than he's got to learn that as a public person, whose job it is, is to sell themselves to the public, he's not going to get very far by insulting them or their intelligence. Its like a monkey flinging poo at a crowd of spectators at the zoo, and then begging them for food afterward. I'm not going to feed this ape.

The Washington Post has always been leaning towards the left.

 

[Jimbo]

Has anybody seen his most recent comparison of The United States and The Soviet Union?

When we exterminate 60,000,000 of our own people, he can give me a call.

It leans to the conservative right as does most of the press.

60,000,000? A nice random number.

Oh yeah, sure they do.

Just like The New York Times.

Just on the off chance that you are not insane... you are not confusing The Washington Post with The Washington Times are you?

Not at all Mr. Apologists that is trying to look smart for the high school crowd.

The sixty million number is a CONSERVATIVE number.
Here is a link.

61,911,000 Victims

If your scholarly research exceeds this, I would love to see your work.

Ask Joey Stalin, he put a large part of that number there. Also you can refer to ANY Ex-Soviet Jew and they'll give you a good idea of just how many of their friends and relatives were wisked away in the latter part of the night without ever being heard from again. "How would I know?" you might ask. My girlfriends father was taken that way back in the 1970s for publishing what was thought to be an anti-government brochure for a state company in Surgut. She still hasnt seen or heard from him yet.

Wow, nice personal attack. Also I like your source, Hawaii.edu? I'm not disputing the brutality and destructivness of the communist Russian regime, just the number you threw out. And I'm glad I am multiple people: Mr. Apologists, but I guess that would make me more effective in looking smart for the high school crowd.

 

[Jimbo]

And "a nice random number" was not an attack?

If you would like more sources, I will get them.

If you would like to refute them, I can also hook you up with an octogenarian Stalinist. His English is poor but he is quite spirited.

Media Bias Basics

• Evidence of how hard journalists lean to the left was provided by S. Robert Lichter , then with George Washington University, in his groundbreaking 1980 survey of the media elite. Lichter's findings were authoritatively confirmed by the American Association of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) in 1988 and 1997 surveys. The most recent ASNE study surveyed 1,037 newspaper reporters found 61 percent identified themselves as/leaning "liberal/Democratic" compared to only 15 percent who identified themselves as/leaning "conservative/Republican."

Fight The Bias

• now a veteran CBS reporter has come forward to expose how liberal bias pervades the mainstream media. Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left, it's far worse than you think.

So a personal attack is now defined and giving someone facts that they asked for?

I think he was talking about the "Mr. Apologists that is trying to look smart for the high school crowd" part, not sure though.

Yup, but being as scholarly as they are, they would have figured that out eventually.

I wonder if he threatened Sarandon's mother the same way he threatened the reporter who merely wrote what Sarandon's mother TOLD him?

He talks about free speech. I wonder what he means because for the most part he has been able to say whatever the hell he wants to say. Does he consider the Cooperstown thing to be an effort denying him free speech? If so then he must have planned on giving more anti-war/anti-Bush speeches at that event. Maybe he should sue Petrosky for denying him his free speech, or can you only sue the government for that?
