The Slanders Of Tim Robbins And Brian DePalma
No, I haven’t been ignoring the whole Brian DePalma thing, it’s just that what he has done is so odious and cowardly, that I’ve been talking to other media and military “powers that be” about a response broader than one internet post by myself. And when I do write a piece, it will be in tandem with a larger campaign, and I want it to be as thoughtful and incisive as possible, not an immediate knee jerk reaction. Plus, since “Young Americans” has now been sold and will soon be debuting on cable as an 8 episode series ( I’m not allowed to announce the network but I did discuss it - Tony and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free are producing - on the Dennis Miller show with Andrew Breitbart last week ), and I have to turn in the first draft of a screenplay to Fox on Tuesday, my time to sit and write detailed thoughtful posts is more limited than ever. For instance, when the story was breaking, I was in the middle of a four hour working meeting with Tony Scott. But a significant response is forthcoming from me and my allies. In the meantime, here’s a piece from the Weekly Standard:
“We’ve killed over 400,000 of their citizens.” That’s what actor Tim Robbins thinks U.S. troops have been doing in Iraq. He made the claim last week in an appearance on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.
He’s wrong, of course. American soldiers have not been slaughtering 300 Iraqis a day for the last four years. Even for one of Hollywood’s most feculent personalities, this is an appalling slander of U.S. troops…
Just as we were inclined to dismiss Robbins as a lonely voice of idiocy, news came of director Brian DePalma’s Redacted, one of eight new movies about the Iraq War due out in the coming months, according to Reuters. “Inspired by one of the most serious crimes committed by American soldiers in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, it is a harrowing indictment of the conflict and spares the audience no brutality to get its message across….
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Pat -
Good luck on the series. I can’t wait. Glad you’re working so hard. I can say, “I know him …” … Well, sort of … heh-heh!
And I can’t wait for your post regarding the DePalma bullshit.

September 1st, 2007 at 4:48 pmI feel for those in the MSM & Hollywood to have to stoop so low. These elites are Ike Turner Patriots, they love America but beat her down every opening chance.
They will get theirs one day and hopefully soon.
September 1st, 2007 at 4:52 pmI look forward to seeing the Young Americans. You all have my best wishes Pat!
September 1st, 2007 at 4:53 pm“The movie is an attempt to bring the reality of what is happening in Iraq to the American people,”
What a lousy lying sack of shit this Hollywood elitist puke is. Same for that chump Tim Robbins.
Boycott their movies, destroy any of their movies that you own. Don’t give them a dime of your money. Deny them money, and prestige.
Yeah we need a counterpoint to these chump ass Hollyweirdos
I’m so fucking tired of their lame agenda-driven movies.
These people aren’t stars…They’re not Gary Cooper or Myrna Loy. They aren’t even in the same class. They’re a buncj of spoiled rick tarts with too much time and little talent.
It’s time to crush them. Go get em Pat.
September 1st, 2007 at 5:15 pmDePalma was never in Iraq so how can he be bringing the reality of what is happening in Iraq to America? He’s trying to make America buy into his reality, that’s all.
September 1st, 2007 at 5:17 pmDePalma and Robbins are just two sheep in the herd. The problem with what they are doing is that their voices are amplified so greatly.
WE LIVE IN A MEDIA DRIVEN AGE.
The media has ENORMOUS POWER.
Thus rather than being the stupid drunken lefty at some barbecue, Tim Robbins or DePalmaD’Or can seem like “important figures” when they open their yaps. Keith Olbermann just has to glue a toupee to his head daily and tell how much he hates Bush and O’Reilly to assorted idiots.
The Metrosexual Media is committed to seeing the US fail in Iraq. Their hatred for Bush has always exceeded by oceans the hatred they might have for Al Queda. In their hearts, they feel WE DESERVE to be attacked. They want us to be attacked. And as long as THEY are not hurt -and they never are, are they?- they really do feel that our enemies are superior to us in many many ways.
Matt Damon has challenged Dick Cheney’s courage. He bravely chose Chris Mathews’ show to do this on. Now by my logic, if you are calling someone else a coward -which he did- then surely you are yourself brave. I think it is implicit.
But Matt appears to have had his first cosmetic surgery done to him. And he appears to me to be wearing a new hair piece instead of scalp. And he accepted an Oscar for a screenplay that many people think he did not ever write. (How many oscar winning screenwriters win for their first ever script and then NEVER write another script in their entire lives?)
But he’ll sit there in his thousand dollar shoes, his 25k plastic surgery gleaming, and tell us how brave George Clooney is. And later, Clooney will give a reach-around to Damon and return the favor of circle-jerk.
They are erotically enthralled with themselves and their self-importance. Since they are not responsible for defending anything other than their own lives, careers and families they do not have to think too hard about stopping more 9/11’s. (Though I note that they tend to have bodyguards and alarms and plenty of precautions at the ready for THEM. And I am CERTAIN that if another 9/11 happened they would BLAME BUSH and our country for it happening…)
I believe that Hollywood masturbates liberally to images of its own “bravery” and that it hates, despises and loathes the actual courage of people that do actually fight and kill and sometimes die with the goal of defeating this enemy. Matt Damon is not going to stand toe to toe with someone who has served in Iraq who has not been vetted as a Bush-hater or fellow traveller. That’s an appointment he has not the guts to take. He will yes meet with the soldier who sides with him. But he lacks the personal courage to speak to the larger majority who do not side with him.
And so it goes with our other “public figures” who in their wealth, safety, vanity, egos, and who live in cocoons wherein they only meet other rich, pompous, liberal, foo-foos such as themsevles, well, they echo each other without much thought.
Our elites have a huge vested interest in our losing in Iraq. Being rich and secure and millions of miles literally and figuratively from the damage of such an outcome (Just as our media and Hollywood icons weren’t too interested in the mass murder and horrors that befell Southeast Asian after we “lost” in Vietnam…) they can bat it around like a volleyball on the beach. It is light and breezey and nothing to worry about.
Which is to say that they HAVE IT TOO GOOD. So good that they can without worry put their energies into the destruction of the very country that has given them the power, money, freedom and amplifiers that magnify their vain voices above the masses.
Matt Damon, man of the people. Matt Damon, “screenwriter”. Matt Damon…very brave man. No greater love has such a man than for the image of themselves in the mirror. Nothing gratifies them more than posing in front of a mirror and “bravely” rehearsing what words he will say on Chris Mathews’ show that evening. God, Matt, we wish we could love you as much as you love yourself.
You love you, Matt!
September 1st, 2007 at 5:34 pmFucking posers… it’s still 1968 in their Wiffle Ball heads. Their worldview is hallucinogenic.
September 1st, 2007 at 6:24 pmPAT,
Congratulations for completing “Young Americans”.
I know you have poured your heart and soul into this venture.
Thank you for all you do for our Troops and us too.
September 1st, 2007 at 7:12 pmThe only way Hollywood is going to understand the war on terror is when someone blows up the Hollywood sign. Then you will see them on the news running though the streets like Mccauley Culkin weeping and crying saying “This is our 9/11 and Katrina in one. Life has come to an end as we know it. Its George Bush’s fault. The Hollywood sign would still be here if he had stayed out of Iraq. Where is the military when you need them?”
Fucking Idiots!
September 1st, 2007 at 9:12 pmReally excited about YA.
September 2nd, 2007 at 12:12 amTimmy needs to go back to Afghanistan to get more training.
September 2nd, 2007 at 2:38 amOne thing you can do is go on sites such as Netflix, IMBD, yahoo movies and everything else you can think of and write what you think of their movies. You can add comments to most and at least give ratings. It may sound small but if enough of us do it, it may have some sort of influence. What do you think Pat? You came from this world, what can we do?

Good idea, Grumpy.

Brian Depalma’s anti-Iraq screed “Redacted” has debuted at the Venice Film Festival. This is set to be the first of many anti-war movies scheduled to be released this fall. See this item over at Burkean Reflections.
The primary problem I see from this is that Hollywood isn’t following the script written for it by the Democrat Party and the MSM. Since 2003, we’ve all been told the following:
We support the troops but not the mission
We support our action in Afghanistan but not the illegal, immoral war in Iraq.
The stream of new movies isn’t about our selected, not elected President and the neocons getting us into an illegal, immoral war. They are point blank shots at the military. So, are we not back on the same old tired leftist track that attacked the Vietnam era veterans as baby-killers? The respect for the troops that the left said they had is like the baby being thrown out with the bath-water. People will go to these movies…but those that attend will be the very people who said they just wish the troops had been used to chase down Osama bin Laden in Tora Bora rather than being used to fulfill Bush-41’s revenge on Saddam Hussein for attempting to kill daddy Bush.
Larry Craig? Who are the real hypocrites?
September 4th, 2007 at 1:16 pmThe gutless fagots in hollywood will be the first ones beheaded if we lose….and they have the nerve to help out the enemy by slandering our troops…FUCK THEM! ! ! this is why I will never see a movie that has george clooney, tim robins, ben afleck, susan sarandon and any one of the piece of shit anti-american fuckwads that live in our country.
PS I hope bill maher and michael moore die a slow and painful death. I trully mean that
September 8th, 2007 at 11:00 pmHey Pat, how about posting De Palma’s and boy wonder’s (Robbins) home addresses so that all us “evil soldiers” can share our gratitude with them.
If you cant, for legal reasons, maybe you could provide us with a reliable people search website that has their correct home address as I’m sure there are many bogus ones listed.
R&R is coming up and I’d like to personally share my “viewpoint” with them. I encourage other soldiers and marines to do the same.
Dudes, if you have nowhere to go on R&R like me. Get your free plane ticket to Hollywood and “introduce” yourself to our gratefull celebrities. Especially that prick De Palma.
If anybody else here (more internet saavy than I) can come up with their info please post it.
Thanks Pat for all you do for us. It means a lot to me and my men.
