From The Rubber Room...

Tim Robbins is at it again. He really should be a regular at the Democratic Underground, he fits right in. His latest:

Acclaimed American actor/director Tim Robbins blasted the US government's policy on terrorism -- and the US media's failure to examine it critically -- at a news conference in Athens promoting his stage version of George Orwell's "1984".
"

We have right now a media that is willfully ignoring the high crimes and misdemeanours of the president of the United States," the star of Hollywood hits including "Mystic River" and "The Player" told reporters.

"Clinton lied about a blowjob, and got impeached by the media and Congress," Robbins said.

Get that? The MEDIA is trying to protect the President! If that doesn't convince you that Robbins is a dyed-in-the-wool moonbat, the last line should. That will be the lunatic left's line for all eternity. "Clinton lied about a blowjob, and got impeached." As long as they believe that, there is no hope for them.

Another example of entrenched lunacy:

"(Bush) got us into (the Iraq) war based on lies that he knew were lies. ... His war has recruited more Al-Qaeda members than Osama bin Laden could ever have dreamed for ... yet no one in the media is calling for impeachment," he said.

Robbins pointed out similarities between current US policies on terrorism and the authoritarian society described by Orwell.

Kinda leaves you speechless, doesn't it? That whole "got us into war based on lies" thing is really wearing thin on anyone in this country who can think. The pile of evidence to the contrary keeps growing, and the LEFT keeps deluding themselves that it isn't really there, that Bush is somehow planting it, that it isn't really true.

Robbins pointed out similarities between current US policies on terrorism and the authoritarian society described by Orwell.

"Unfortunately, the book and the play is more relevant now than it ever has been," he said. "(It) talks about continuous warfare as a means to control the Western economy, and as a way to control rebel elements within society through the use of fear, constant fear."

"In my country we seem to be sanctioning renditioning of innocent people without trial ... put them in jail without telling anyone ... and torture them out of suspicion of what we think they might do," Robbins said.

"This is exactly what Orwell was talking about when he spoke of thought crimes," he added.

What is it with Leftists going to other countries and trashing America? They speak of Bush's lies, while at the same time everything that comes out of their mouths is a lie. Look especially at his charges that we torture people in America out of suspicion of what they might do. That's outrageous.

I'll bet that play is a real winner.
