Have any celebs come out in favor of the war yet?

DC public affairs firms frantically making calls right now looking for celebs to endorse the war

Good observation. I wonder who the first will be?

Celebs would be smart not to burn their hands on this yet when 90% of the public is against the war, more war propaganda is needed first.

I wonder how soon Oprah will abandon her anti-war beliefs

Alyssa Milano did the pro war fake sex tape

It's entertaining to watch the hypocrisy on both sides.

Alfter wikileaks reported boycott in mideast countries of Steven Spielberg, Jerry Scienfeld for their funding Isreali wars, hollywood neocons/ntools have gone even more stealth. Scumbags like Will Smith, Ashton Kucther with movies at st stake are likely to remain quiet. Scam artist George Calooney probably will also not try to pull a "Sudam media stunt" for Syria invasion.

Good observation. I wonder who the first will be?

When Israel bombed Gaza and killed over 1000 civilians including many chikldren, these hollywood critters had come out first to defend Israel:

"The signatories do read like a who's who of Hollywood's elite with a cast that runs from the executive suites to the sound stages and cuts across generations. Among those who signed on are Jerry Seinfeld, Seth Rogen, Robert Duvall, Halle Berry, Sacha Baron Cohen, Lisa Kudrow, Lenny Kravitz, Ed Zwick, Jason Alexander, Chazz Palminteri and David Cronenberg, as well as A-list producers and executives Ron Meyer, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Sherry Lansing, Neal Moritz, Jonathan Glickman, Nina Jacobson, Darren Star, Nathan Kahane and Gail Berman."

Alyssa Milano, Stacy Dash, Mia Farrow...

The celebrity version of the Weird Sisters. I think we can dispense with that "if women ran the world there would be no war" BS.

Has There Been a Rapture of Anti-War Celebrities? If Not, Where The Hell Are They?
http://reason.com/blog/2013/09/07/has-there-been-a-rapture-of-anti-war-cel

Over at Buzzfeed, John Ekdahl has a must-read article up about "14 Principled Anti-War Celebrities We Fear May Have Been Kidnapped." Where, he asks, are the Sheryl Crows, Bruce Springsteens, Sean Penns, George Clooneys, Janeane Garofalo, and Barbra Streisands of the world who were never shy about voicing super-patriotic dissent against Bushitler's war machine? Here's a snippet:

Our government is yet again marching us towards a war of choice in the Middle East and our non-partisan, peace-loving celebrities have gone missing since late 2008. We fear the worst....The only explanation for their continued silence must be a large, organized kidnapping. To whoever is responsible for their disappearance, please post pictures of them holding a recent newspaper so we know they’re okay.

At least one of the folks on Ekdahl's list has publicly commented on the lack of star-studded anti-war rhetoric directed at the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize honoree, Barack Obama. Back before Obama took office, Ed Asner, best-remembered for his portrayal of lovably gruff newsman Lou Grant, said, “I also think that there is a strong streak of racism, and whenever we engage in foreign adventures. Our whole history in regime change has been of people of different color."

Now, he tells The Hollywood Reporter, "A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama."

The entire cast of Saturday Night Live?

 

[FriedChicken]

I think Ben Afleck will probably come out on Obama's side here soon.

 

[randomname]

99% of them will likely remain quiet (not in favor, not against) until public opinion swings in favor of the war

Is Dennis Miller still a raging warmonger, or did he give that shtick up yet?

Is Dennis Miller still a raging warmonger, or did he give that shtick up yet?

He'd probably let Netanyahu be our commander in chief...

Rationalization and partisanship.

Ed Asner: Hollywood Mum on Syria Over Fears of Appearing Racist

Liberals in Hollywood are not speaking out against President Barack Obama's call for military strikes against the Syrian government because they fear being called racists, veteran actor Ed Asner says.

"A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama," Asner told Hollywood Insider.
...
Back in 2003, just ahead of the U.S. attack on Iraq, Hollywood's anti-war movement included online petitions signed by Asner, and letters to Bush from stars like Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin. Farrell himself fronted multiple press conferences in which celebrities denounced the war championed by Bush, who was highly unpopular in Hollywood.
...
Calling for military strikes is "incredibly improper," Farrell continued. But he doesn't think there will be an organized effort to protest the strikes in Hollywood because "we're talking about the difference between an invasion in Iraq and a limited action in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria."
...
But both stars said they are disappointed in Obama, although they had supported him for president.

"I voted for him, but I'm not proud," Asner said. "He hasn't thrown himself on the funeral pyre. I wanted him to sacrifice himself. Instead, he has proved himself to be a corporatist, and as long as he's a corporatist, he's not my president."

Farrell also said he's "deeply disappointed" in Obama's foreign policy, including his "war-making, his reliance on military rather than diplomatic responses, his use of drones, continued allowance of the Guantanamo prison. He's a disappointment to me and other people I know."
