Anderson, Bill Maher, Rosie O'Donnell et al all represent Hollywood.

They are representative of individuals in "Hollywood". They do not represent "Hollywood" unless all individuals in this category "Hollywood" share all of their beliefs. Which is just absurd.

You confuse one person's moronic statement with some Hollywood conspiracy.

It is all about freedom of speech.

CF attracts alot of "us v them" kinds of people. By identifying a "them" (Hollywood, Dems, GOP, lefties, righties, etc) they can pretend they too have a team, and teams to fight against.

I suspect these folks were always last to be picked when they were kids. The need to belong to a side, and be against another, is overwhelming.

To me it isn't an issue of who these Hollywood "stars" are supporting, but an issue of why their opinion matters at all. Who cares about what they have to say? What makes their opinion any more important than Joe Blow on the street? Usually they end up making idiotic statements that only ends up making them look stupid and in the end does nothing to help their candidate. Can you believe what Whoopi Goldberg said to John McCain on her morning show? :doh:

I don't care about a politician's taste in movies, so likewise I don't care about a movie star's taste in politics.

They all have to deliver the lines David Geffen and the other power brokers who run the show want or off they go into storage on the back lot.

Yeah, by saying Putin was president of Russia when he is Prime Minister.

Educated idiot is more like it.

I just re-listened to the clip.

Matt Damon said, "She's facing down Vladimir Putin".
Even if he did say that, the criticism still remains.
However he didn't say it.
The whole world knows that Putin is still in charge of Russia, by him stepping down from presidency (due to the term limit) and taking a PM position and then appointing that puppet Medvedev, he still has the power.
He still projects his voice to the country and makes those decisions, that could endanger everyone else.

Matt Damon said: "It's like a really bad Disney movie, "The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president," said Damon. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd."

Please...can he be any more condescending and petty. Folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink? That's all he could come up with? He clearly convinced me that she wouldn't make a good President.
