Sean Penn, Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover: “We are writing you as representatives of the cultural sphere in the U.S. We write you as American citizens. We write to express our dismay at your administration’s continuing hostility towards Cuba.”
Yes, of course, it is George Bush that is the oppressive one, therefore, deserving of a letter from those three stooges:
“We are writing you as representatives of the cultural sphere in the U.S. We write you as American citizens. We write to express our dismay at your administration’s continuing hostility towards Cuba.”
I must have missed the part where they are outraged at Fidel for his actions. The jailed librarians, journalists and writers, or how about those that want to visit their families in the States? Can they come over here? What happens if you are reading a banned book in Cuba?
H/T to Lynn for this list of demands from the three stooges:
As citizens, artists, scholars, educators and cultural workers from all artistic practices, academic disciplines, advocacy and service organizations in the arts, we hope you will read and consider the words of Alicia Alonso as we call upon your Administration to:
1. open a respectful dialogue with the government and people of Cuba in accord with established protocols supported by the community of nations;
2. end the travel ban that prevents U.S. citizens from visiting Cuba and allow for Cuban artists and scholars to visit the United States, thus eliminating the censorship of art and ideas, and
3. initiate, by working with appropriate members of Congress, a process that can result in the development of normal bilateral relations between our countries.
There is no US ban on Cubans traveling to this country. As Lynn points out, they aren’t concerned about all Cubans, just the artists..I guess.

Shaking my head here. These three bozos just don’t get it. What is it with them anyway. Do they like communism? Do they not mind whole segments of society being oppressed. The rich and famous have no conscience.

Leo Penn, Sean’s father, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era.
December 3, 2007 - 10:51 AM on December 3rd, 2007
I have an idea. Let’s send these three to Cuba and never let them back into the US.

I knew that Pam and when I found it out it sort of explained Seans attitude. It would appear to me that he is out America bashing because of this. Now imo that is a very immature way to act. Get over it already.

4, BonBon, how does that explain Glover and Belafonte’s behavior?
December 3, 2007 - 11:47 AM on December 3rd, 2007
4- Bon Bon, in no way am I excusing him, it just gives the reader an idea of the homelife he had as a child
December 3, 2007 - 12:51 PM on December 3rd, 2007
Pam, agreed. I’m sure he got an earful from his father. I can’t remember if dear ole dad was ever found guilty but there was in fact plenty of worry as was confirmed years later when the Soviet Union broke up and opened their classified documents. It was amazing and brought vindication for all those investigations.
Hi PCD. It doesn’t explain Gover and Belafonte’s behavior but their made from the same pile of crap so it may have rubbed off.
I think it’s amusing to listen to these creeps and I hope it gives an idea to the fools who consistently vote democrat that this is where their party is going.

“We are writing you as representatives of the cultural sphere in the U.S.”
Once more, we see actors imagining themselves somehow to be important. They’re not.

PENN,BELAFONTE,GLOVER three liberal nuts stuffed in a squrrels hole and the squrrel discovers they taste awful gives them to mr bluejay who burries them far far away
December 3, 2007 - 02:05 PM on December 3rd, 2007
Yes, they do imagine themselves as being important no doubt about that. It kills me when I see them take a podium (Sarandon and Robbins come to mind) and talk like they know everything. Gutless wonders usually are walking around doe eyed, hanging on to their every word. No wonder they think their opinions matter.
As for me, my husband and I go to the movies often and I absolutely refuse to put my money in their pockets. It makes me feel good when movies like Redacted bomb because others must feel that way as well.

10, BonBon, Glover came to speak at Clarke College. He wouldn’t let the audience ask him questions. I guess he’s been burned before with questions he couldn’t answer.
December 3, 2007 - 02:31 PM on December 3rd, 2007
Typical Leftist Idiot, kind of like Al “Ozone Hole” Gore who will NOT appear in public anytime there is someone there who will challenge him.
Gore knows he cannot stand the scruting of real questions and real science. So he just goes around preaching to the choir of Lemmings, Sheeple, and Babbling Idiots.

The liberal left in Hollywood had better wake up. The movies that are making bank at the box office are NOT the blame America first political tripe. It’s the ones that involve good triumphing over evil and representing Americans in a good light. Nothing will end these morons’ collective careers like noone showing up for their movies repeatedly. Of course Danny Glover did star in “Shooter” with Mark Walhberg.
December 4, 2007 - 07:57 AM on December 4th, 2007
Hi FAO…while there doesn’t seem to be nearly enough good movies the ones out there like Narnia clean up at the box office.
December 4, 2007 - 09:34 AM on December 4th, 2007
If PENN,BELEFONTE and GLOVER think castros so great why dont they go love with him and never ever bother comming back
December 4, 2007 - 12:27 PM on December 4th, 2007
FAO the Hollywood Idiots are whining and complaining that the American moviegoing public just isn’t interested in the Iraq war. When of course what they fail to grasp is nobody wants to see their anti-America, anti-U.S. Military propaganda movies.
I’ll tell you what I want to see, what I would pay to see, and what I bet most of America would go see:
Movies that portray America as good, because it generally is. Movies that portray our troops as the good guys, because THEY ARE. Movies that portray the terorrists as evil, degenerate, weasels and cowards because THEY ARE. Good old-fashioned John Wayne-type movies that show lots of terrorists being blown up and shot down, because THEY ARE.
Now if the Leftist idiots in Hollywood could get it through their nearly impenetrable skulls that this is where the market is, perhaps they could put aside their own personal mental illness and give the market what it wants.
