And I'm glad you mentioned that Spielberg & Kate Capshaw donated-bravo to both of them!<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad that you called out the politicians worth caring about thing as well-there have been multiple politicians that have been extremely to people in the past (Al Gore springs to mind). Obama is a different kind of politician, and I think will make a fine president, but there have been others that have been excellent before him, and I pray, others who will be excellent after.John Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778817752411507792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-63728672335896050742008-10-14T16:50:00.000-04:002008-10-14T16:50:00.000-04:00But we listen to a lot of people advocate for one ...But we listen to a lot of people advocate for one candidate or another. Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, Walter Cronkite, Bill Clinton, et cetera. None of them are speaking from any position other than private citizen, really. Same as you or me. They're just in the position to reach more people. The amount of weight we choose to give to their advocacy is up to us.Joe Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825174217179302019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-72815784986110862402008-10-14T13:28:00.000-04:002008-10-14T13:28:00.000-04:00The whole "activist celebrity" thing pisses me off...The whole "activist celebrity" thing pisses me off. Shouldn't people vote with their head and not because some celebrity tells you to? <BR/><BR/>I have nothing against political advertisements that tell you to vote or not vote for someone, but using a celebrity figurehead just grosses me out.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300578651189663697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-82681193145004562512008-10-14T10:57:00.000-04:002008-10-14T10:57:00.000-04:00HEE.sorry about the ash-mouth syndrome. it's actua...HEE.<BR/><BR/>sorry about the ash-mouth syndrome. it's actually the opposite. I am like WHERE ARE THE MOVIE GIRLS? represent!<BR/><BR/>so good on the tv women.<BR/><BR/>why is Brad Pitt one of the only vocal here? Shouldn't there be more civil rights friendly movie titans speaking out (even if they can't/won't donate huge sums to combat the Mormons)?<BR/><BR/>oh and also apparently Steven Spielberg gave as much as Brad. but I'm hoping HOllywood rallies before the election cuz that shit (prop 8) is ridiculous.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-73575437221550552642008-10-14T10:43:00.000-04:002008-10-14T10:43:00.000-04:00"featuring various celebs (mostly TV actresses)"I ..."featuring various celebs (mostly TV actresses)"<BR/><BR/>I think I can actually SEE the words turning to ash in your mouth. :-) Sara Ramirez and Camryn Manheim (who looks <I>good</I>) were badass enough for a dozen movie actresses, and Carolyn Hennesy is a representin' for ABC Daytime, so that was cool. And Heather Matarazzo and her doppel-girlfriend!<BR/><BR/>As for JGL, I totally love him, and if he represents a whole lot of formerly disaffected people who are now going to vote for Obama, then that's awesome. But in general that attitude of "all politics/politicians are bullshit" is wearying and immature to me. But, yes, better to have these voices heard than not.Joe Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825174217179302019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-4734548143406275982008-10-14T09:54:00.000-04:002008-10-14T09:54:00.000-04:00But Madge, people have to have some education and ...But Madge, people have to have some education and intelligence and interest in the world to be able to form a cogent opinion in the first place. Any bigot has an "opinion" and a very strong one (and they are not afraid to say what's on their minds); an informed opinion is another matter entirely.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.com
