Its too bad conservatives can't handle a little freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is not a problem. Neither is freedom to boycott. When these Hollywood types run off at their naive, lamebrain mouths, they need to remember that while they can say any damned thing they want to, if they piss off their customers they can quickly find themselves playing the streets of Deep Ellum once again...


That's fine........but instead of worrying about the "lamebrain mouths" Hollywood types, you might want to consider the small minded lamebrains who would burn a cd in response to an celebrity exercising their right to free speech. How is that any different from burning books?

Its not the Susan Sarandons we have to fear. Its the Bill O'Reillys and Joe McCarthys.

I'm still waiting for Alec Baldwin to keep his promise and leave the country.
