Costner Blasts Bush Assassination Film Message Board and Comments

At least we can now elect a President in whom we may all be proud!!!

Maybe in your head it is. Not mine.

Proud??? That is both pitiful and embarassing!

President Bush's diction is a little unslick at times. BIG DEAL! Remember that erstwhile presidential candidate, Princeton Rhodes scholar, and former United States Senator from New Jersey Bill Bradley? And who can forget that reknowned policy wonk and former Vice President, Albert Gore? One guess as to who had higher SAT scores than Bradley and Gore!? Furthermore, unlike Gore, President Bush didn't tour Monticello on the way to DC and the inauguration, see prominent exhibits and statues of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, and turn to ask, "Who are these guys?" Natalie Maines and the Chixie Dix can go jump in the lake. I am proud that George W. Bush is my president.

Most of the population of Europe believe that "your president" is a Buffoon and rightly so. He is an embarassement on the world stage, not even well spoken. Perhaps that is why you admire him, in your limited view, you appear to believe that only what occurs in the US is of any importance, and you are referring to "uneducated women"??? If the opinion of "third world" countries is as unimportant as you say, then stop invading them!

stormy You say My President is looked upon as a buffoon; by whom - Kofi Annan and his child raping sons? Or maybe you'd prefer the opinions of Moammar Kadafi, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Fidel Castro, or maybe the murderer Ted Kennedy. Thanks, but I'm perfectly fine not listening to the likes of those (and your) types. You’re right, I am a fanatic...about my county, my freedom, and my family. These are the things I care passionately about, and the things I would gladly fight (you and anyone else) over. As for what some dumb*ss in some other 3rd world (un-civilized) country (or you for that matter) may think about the man that I elected (twice) to be my President...you all can kiss my *ss. I will tell you what I tell every other liberal piece of sh*t...win an election - or shut up!! and as for your impression of my impression of the (so-called) prophet Mohammed...p*ss off again. He was a fraud, his religion is nothing and indoctrination of hatred and murder. Or do you just believe that all women should be uneducated second-class citizens who deserve to have their heads cut off after their brother rapes them...hmmmm

chrisley007 "Your President" as you so fondly call him, is known world wide as a buffoon. You cannot compare the attack on a religious icon, (Jesus, Moses, Mohammed) to a president of a country, surely? Unless you worship George W. Bush? Sounds like you are somewhat of a fanatic yourself. Maybe you should consider leaving yourself, once he's out of office?

Now let’s see...not so long a Danish cartoon artist draws a picture of that dumb*ss Mohammed with a bomb on his head, and it causes universal outrage from the socialist/liberal/terrorist sympathizer (all of which are the same thing) crowd. While at the same time their constituents in the desert (aka Muslim jacka**'s) take to burning embassies, killing people, shooting their stupid guns in the air (by the way - where do those bullets go?...hmmm), and demand the be-heading of the artist. Then some socialist/liberal/terrorist sympathizer makes a movie about the killing of My President and the same idiots who condemned the artist back then, can't wait to come to the defense of this "artist". Damn, I hate you liberals. Why don't you all charter a plane (and hope it doesn't get hijacked by your rag-headed buddies); gather up the likes of Penn, Baldwin, Vedder, Sarandon, Quaid, and all the rest of them Hollywood elitist types who promised me they would leave if I re-elected My President, and go live in the desert with the rest of your "radical" brethren. And whatever you do don't forget to take Mousie and DT-NYC with you. BTW, DT-NYC (or whatever the h*ll your name is), your brother did volunteer for this didn't he??? Yeah, I thought so. BOTTOM LINE: if you don't like it here leave! Otherwise win an election. And after having studied the options your parties given me (because I vote too) I just don't see where you stand much of a chance. John Kerry for President (YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...)

During my extensive travels (18 countries give or take/fluent in three languages) no periodicals or mud huts per se, however, I have, unfortunately, frequently encountered negative sentiment towards Americans precisely due to the opinions that you have expressed. I believe the feelings in general towards us are arrogant, blowhards, resembling a bully in a school yard without much substance, save brute force. Most of our our country's population is lacking in education of any other country in the world, save our own, and not even much knowledge about America either. There is no debate. Let us simply agree to disagree and call it a day.

Stormy interesting to read your loaded opinions, and I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that aside from the usual name calling and dismissive condescension (congratulations, you may have once again nicely illustrated one of Ann Coulter's main points), you never address any of the points made or facts highlighted. sorry to hear you're tired of the analogy, interesting how it never seems (not just with you!)to ever be discussed, addressed, or rebutted, or whatever. Just complain that you're tired of it, and it will go away! So, I guess to some extent Jimmy Carter's administration, and more obviously 8 years of the "citizen of the world" Bill Clinton's administration must have been an egregious "might is right" "boot ass" era of terrible leadership during which Al Qaeda continued in high gear to plot and execute against us, the Clinton administration's policies guaranteed that radical Islam would be after us for generations? Too bad Bill Clinton had such a red neck view of the USA and world! (accordiing to the logical extrapolations of your observations) Stormy, you think what's going on, and my opinions and the like are some battle against all of Islam? That's such a stupid incorrect straw man that it barely deserves any further comment! Would be nice if you divest yourself of such foolish assumptions. So, my world view's gonna need a lot of help? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. But, what is my world view, by the way, since you assume you've got it pegged? Just curious, how many foreign countries have you been to, how many foreign periodicals and news outlets do you soak in? How many foreign countries have you spent weeks/months in, making mud bricks by hand, building shelters by hand? How many of the locals you've chatted with carry on animated anti-US tirades, vs. opining that they'd give anything for the privilege of being an American? Just curious.

Enough with the "sitting around a campfire singing Kum ba ya" analogy. Its been done to death! The closed minded, big bad American boot up your ass (credit Toby Keith) mentality has pretty well guaranteed that they'll be back to bomb something else on US soil. They're in no rush and can afford to wait. So carry on with the war on Islam in ignorance, without recognizing that it should not include all muslims. Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Can you spell "propaganda"? I'm sure you can. Good luck in expanding your views of the world. You will need it.

Stormy interesting comments interesting how you glibly diss everything as "distorted facts," as though that addresses things. Care to mention any specifics? So, the United States has had WMD since l945. What about it? Are you suggesting that we've used them irresponsibly? Aside from using them to finally end the terrible WWII, (a war we didn't want and didn't really do anything to provoke, and didn't even get involved in at first)when President Truman faced the decision of using them with terrible cost of Japanese civilian life, or not use them, which would have involved an even much larger and terrible loss of Japanese civilian life,as well as additional American military and Japanese military casualities (Great alternatives, right!?) nukes were used. How many times has the United States used them since 1945? We had/have military bases in Saudi Arabia at their request, and stay only as long as they wish, in order to originally "contain Saddam," and otherwise enhance regional stability. If they see the equation changing, and they want us gone, we leave. As for your stupid glib overgeneralization about us "dropping bombs," how many have we dropped, how many cities have we demolished, and people slaughtered by our military in Saudi Arabia? Or how about Syria? Or Ruwanda? Or Darfur Sudan? Or India, or Pakistan, or Indonesia, or North Korea, or Ethiopia? Did we obliterate Thailand because it's heavily Buddhist? I guess when we need Saudi Arabia's military help for our defense when Canada threatens to attack us, then we'll ask them to set up military bases here. I think it'd be great to have all countries roast marshmellows around the campfire and sing Kum by Yah. Why didn't we think of that with the atrocities and genocide under Nazi Germany, or Joseph Stalin? You obviously don't get a very basic point. There is no issue here of the USA trying to force all the peoples and countries of the world to think and do as we say. Have we obliterated Cameroon because of different social mores, religious norms and customs, or governance structures? The peoples of the world in their sovereignty are free to decide all that for themselves. They are not free, however, to attack and kill us without some brushback. Get it? If some groups, sponsored by certain geopolitical entities, see it their Sacred mission from God to travel to our country, and blow up buildings and kill our citizens minding their own business, later return to kill thousands with jetliners as weapons, kill innocents with Anthrax, and other awful things thankfully thwarted, then seriously, just exactly who's theatening who? And who's actually attacking who? Sure diplomacy is great when fanatics aren't gleefully doing as much death and violence as they can. Sadly, there are some where negotation, although great if possible, is not possible. Can you spell Al Qaeda? I knew you could. I'll be supporting the war only as long as necessary to DEFEND our people and thwart evil tyrants threatening us and other allies for no good reason, and not a day longer. Sure, a different world without fanatics in possession of dangerous means would be great. Let me know when your world townhall hold hands session solves that.

ya ya ya... It's hilarious how liberals will never give the benefit of the doubt to their own country... but only give it to our enemies. Hmmm,.. why? It's because they're enemies as well. Clearly. They hate capitalism... they detest individual rights..... they only rely on a massive 'state solution' to anything. They believe that we deserve it for "meddling" in other folks business. But at the same time ignore the fact that the UN demands our participation in most things because they're useless and not capable of doing anything on their own. That indeed makes us an easy target and an easy one to blame. But it never matters if those same folks come murder us in the thousands on our own land. It's probably our own fault anyway, right liberals? Here's a tip: Don't trust your soul with people who don't have one.

WhitemoonG I guess we don't need to ask which political party you're with. With this attitude and distortion of facts, you will be at war for the rest of your natural life and that of your children, grandchildren etc...etc... When are the Saudi's installing military bases in the US? Afterall, we do have the Weapons of Mass Destruction and we always appear to be bombing someone, somewhere so perhaps they should be watching us? There has to be a better way of having all the countries work together to stop terrorism instead of continually bombing a chosen few, missing the terrorists altogether who are elsewhere ... hiding with Bin Laden, no doubt. How do you make someone do what you want without using Brut Force or pounding it into them? Find out what they want, and if what they want is to be left to their own devices in their own countries, either killing each other or worshiping Allah, so be it. Let them. As long as they are not planning to invade our country, we cannot control how the world lives and make them think like us or live like us, simply because we have the power and the strength to force them to do so.

Costner is right about this one and I appreciate hearing him speak out on the issue. It's time people have some compassion for others. Our political debate in this country has deteriorated to name calling and mudslinging. When will we the people stand up and demand a higher level of debate? Throw away your People, US and Cosmo magazine folks along with your partisan crap.

Stormy Interesting blurb. A couple of questions. Just exactly where in the Islamic world are we "imposing" our way of life, and in what way? The people of Iraq have voted a representative government, and now have the chance to choose how they want it, even if it takes awhile. It took the USA, 11-12 years or something like that right? "Imposing" on them the chance to have it their way is supposed to be something despicable? How about Saudi Arabia, where we have military bases? Do all Saudis live their days, do what they do and believe what they believe, according to our dictums? Hardly! Seems Bin Laden sees our military bases there as reason to spend 14 years scheming to attack and kill Americans anywhere as Allah's sacred bidding. Pat Robertson and Falwell eat your hearts out! Why are those bases there anyway? Hint; Gulf War agreement allowing Saddam's evil ass to stay in power, involving monitoring no fly zones, monitoring any future moves to threaten regional neighbors, which of course, the USA must do because nobody else will or can. Remember, why go to war, when "we can contain Saddam?" (At a pricy multiple billions year after year) Tell that to the families of servicemen blown up at Khobar towers! So, Saddam and Iraq had nothing to do with Bin Laden, or Al Qaeda? Or, with or without any cooperating agreements with Al Qaeda, Saddam and Iraq had Zarcawi,had terrorist training camps (Salman Pak), funded 18 year old Palestinian kids blowing up women and children, had forbidden chemical and biologic weapons facilities and capabilities, regardless of how many actual cannisters of finished product around, or not around, or carefully scurried away at the time, always able to crank out lots more when the heat died down. He also had 150 tons of yellowcake uranium at Tuwaitha, waiting to be used for "peaceful purposes" no doubt right? Oh, I thought that narcissistic lying idiot Joe Wilson debunked that whole issue? In his dreams I suppose! Stormy, since you think Afghanistan is the only legitimate place to be, where did the Taliban and Al Qaeda, according to numerous captured documents left behind as they ran from the US Military, get their bomb making and chemical weapons expertise? Hint: that country and "bad guy, but..." that they had no relationship with! Interesting way to have a relationship without having a relationship. Maybe if they were spotted at the prom together, or at the Oscars together, the NY Times would admit a relationship. I can see you're still into that fantasy about Bush never getting elected. The later audits and reviews by numerous independent and responsible news organizations, etc. all concluded that if Gore had had his way, and the Supreme Court hadn't "appointed" Bush President ( a totally idiotic and factless bit of nonsense),Bush still would have won. That's all not even taking into account the real villains in that whole preganant chad debacle, the news media. If they hadn't irresponsibly called the state for Gore while the polls were still open for another hour in the Panhandle, analysts concluded that Bush would have had an additional 8,000 to possibly 18,000 votes over Gore. The 8,000 figure was that of Bob Beckel, spirited Democratic activist (and smart guy), who you may recall briefly made headlines about possibly attempting the unprecedented feat of persuading members of the electoral college from Florida to change their vote to Gore. Sorry, angry libs, you can have any opinion you like, but not your own reinvented facts. Nice try, but not congruent with facts.

Stormy -you are not only a coward but an ignorant one. Terrorism and Brutal Dictators have existed long before Bush was President . They have also wanted you dead long before Bush took office. You can die an idiot, but as for the rest of us. we will defend the country for pussy's like you> Don't worry, we'll take care of it. You can go back to putting your head in the sand.

Bin Laden is not in Iraq and never was connected with Sadem Hussein. He was, however, connected with Bush through his family making oil deals before Bush could get a job. Bush finally did get a job through faulty ballots in Fla., remember that? Not actually ever elected by the people of the US, but by the number of ballots that had to be destroyed to get him elected. Bin Laden was in Aphganistan, but there is no oil there, hence, the was in Iraq. If the Iraquis are happy to have the US troops there, why don't they say so? Is appears that they was the US OUT, TO GO HOME AND MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS. If the Bush Twins were sent to Iraq in harms way along with all of the Congressmen's children and Senator's children on the front lines, the war would cease immediately! All of their children are safely in University obtaining a post secondary degree education while it is left to the poor who joined the military in order to obtain an education who are expendable. The terrorists don't admire our lifestyle or want our freedom. They hate it as they are taught to do since the day that they are born. It is a lack of education on their part, however, invading their countries and imposing our value system on them without their wanting us to against human nature! The whole 9/11 attack was to make that point. They want us to get out and leave them to live as they choose to without imposing our value system on them. How would we like it if we had to live like they do because they thought they were right and came over and forced us to change? What do they want? Not to kill all the infidels, surely that's not even realistic. We should get out of their countries and allow them to live as they see fit, the way we are allowed to live as we choose. You cannot expect to convert everyone to Western Society. Why are we allowed to have Nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction and they are not??? So we can keep the peace?? Like the peace we are keeping in Iraq?? Who died and made us boss? Also, the power shifts. Look as History and The Golden Age of Greece and The Fall of Rome. Where are they now? This will never end by bombing the s**t out of each other and continuing the killing. It will go on forever and only get worse. There must be some kind of negotiation rather than the war mongers who are currently in control. The billions currently being made by the arms dealers are the real reason for war. Iraq was not behind 9/11 so this was a stupid excuse for a war, but we're expected to believe that an "unelected" fake president is going to save us. The rich get rich and the poor get poorer. God help us!

Britta nice, and I'm sure sincere bit of fluff. The point is that you may not have any choice to find your own way (as it should be) if radical Islam gets, or is allowed to get, its chance to kill you for simply wanting to find your own way. When ready to cut your head off and enjoy watching your unspeakable agony, nice sincere fluff won't matter for a second. Wake up

I read all your comments. Hmmm... I saw some reports from CNN, BBC, ARTE and the German TV. What I learning is: Every nation have a black and a white side. What I can see is: That in the USA many states exists. The army is one, the navy an other and so on. At a report from the army, were new servicemen learning to fight, I saw a young girl which snap off the chickens crown. Hmmm... I don´t like that! All what I can say is: Every person must find their oun way. Some of theme find the right and some not.

Desert Storm Vet thanks for asking. How does a soveriegn Jesus Christian Republic sound to you? To bad its not the direction we are headed.

All of you reactionist, liberal, mind-numb jack-asses are going to be in for a rude jolt reality when one day (SOON?) you wake up to a sharia inspired black-out of the liberties we, as americans, now take for granted. they will find aid and comfort from the democratic left-wing moon-bats and pansies under the leadership of reed, pelosi, kennedy, kerry, and the other socialist wannabes who, unfortunately, now hold the party over a barrel of pork (OOPS !! SORRY THAT'S ANTI-ISLAMIST .....). Zell Miller had it so right. Wake up America; these losers cannot be trusted to lead us any longer.

You Are A Slave should present some ideas on government and politics, since he thinks we're all slaves. Tell me, what would you prefer? Utopianism, Marxism (almost the same thing), or pure Anarchy?

"If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom." - Is what President Eisenhower said. Of course your being a smart "blue stater" required you to change the original intent of the statement. EXACTLY MY POINT GENIUS,.UH..I MEAN DUPE. As far as your enlightened statement goes regarding intelligence of "red staters" keep this in mind you liberal turd. We weren't fooled by our pick for Presidents lies about being smarter then Bush. Kerry just like his "Military" Career had to fabricate and lie to impress the easily formed minds of you’re kind of sub-human. KERRY AND BUSH ARE FRAT BROTHERS FROM YALE YOU NAUGHTY SHILL, THEY ARE EVEN DISTANT RELATIVES.THE WHOLE ELECTION WAS A SCAM Do us all a favor as undoubtedly your receiving some type of governmental stipend that allows you to survive on stupidity alone and move away to some place that will respect the type of fools that would support a party that demands movies and books are censored to not cast a bad light on their stupidity. You know, like the Democraps DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICAN, WOW YOURE JUST SO SMART I GUESS IN YOUR POLICE STATE ITS MANDATORY AMERICANS ARE ONE OR THE OTHER. AS FAR AS CENSORSHIP GOES YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE 911 "DRAMA" THAT IS AS FAR FROM THE TRUTH AS THE KEANE REPORT. ORDER OUT OF CHAOS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? Think your angry now? Wait until the midterm elections when even MOORE of the liberal idiots will be replaced by Republicans I COULDNT CARE LESS WHO GETS ELECTED ITS ALL CONTROLLED BY LOBBYISTS LIKE GLOBAL CONGLOMERATES AND ISRAELI INTERESTS. NOTHING WILL CHANGE.KICK THEM ALL OUT START BACK OVER, I SAY. Its kinda light grade school all over again for your kind isn’t it? The booger eating dweeb that you were back then hasn’t changed any, you still live in your mother’s basement, you still are afraid of bullies, you’re still a gutless turd. WHAT IS LIGHT GRADE SCHOOL TOUGH GUY? BOOHOO YOU HURT MY FEELINGS. SO keep up your internet rants, at least it pulls you from the child porn pages for a bit. OK FOLKS, CHECK OUT THIS PRIME EXAMPLE OF A WITTLESS JACKASS THAT THINKS PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL SOLVE PROBLEMS. WOW YOU MUST KARL ROVES BIGGEST FAN. DONT WORRY ABOUT FACTS, TOUGH GUY. YOU DONT NEED THEM WHEN YOURE ASININE AS YOU ARE PEASANT.

If any of this liberal treason from 1/3 of America surprises anyone, it shouldn't. The liberals have been trying to undermine this President since the day they thought the election was "stolen" from them and something so trite as national security and supporing the President after the worst attack on US soil sure isn't going to get in the way of that. They do not think islamofascism exists and that 9/11 was a "fluke". The liberals are more dangerous to America than the very islamofascists we are fighting because they enable the terrorists with their rhetoric. Their control of the major media is the only way we can lose the war in Iraq and the war on terror. Do not underestimate their capabilities. They brought down President Nixon and caused the USA to quit and leave Vietnam. The terrorists know that they cannot beat the might of the USA military and instead need their liberal allies to get the USA to quit like in Somalia or Vietnam. Real Americans need to get mad and unite and not let this liberal treason stand! God Bless America, our troops and President Bush! All are heros!

Bravo Costner! Any liberal dimbulbs watch the ABC "path to 9/11?", which was excellent for those not aware already of these details? Notice the Islamofascists plotting to kill Americans and destroy our country, declaring all out war against us years before George w. Bush was even a candidate for office? What did "Haliburton" have to do with the final plans set for 9/11, agreed on at the radical Islamic terrorist conference at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in May 2000? We're positive that Saddam didn't have any connection,direct or indirect, with 9/11? (which is a different statement than saying it's positive that he did) Why was there a terrorist training camp in SE Baghdad at Salman Pak, including a commmercial jetliner fuselage, for terrorists to practice hijacking commercial airlines, with nothing more than plastic knives? Why did former interim Prime Minister of Iraq Allawi say (in 2004) that recently found secret documents of Saddam's dreaded secret service mention Mohammed Atta as having been there in June 2001? Why did Saddam, with his Oil for bribes/ripoffs millions, thanks to UN intentional blindness, finance terrorism and blowing up innocents in Palestine and Israel? What about the 150 tons of yellowcake Uranium found in Saddam's secret facility near Baghdad? Why did all the hastily ditched Taliban compounds in Afghanistan have documents and manuals on how to make deadly weapons, including chemical weapons, from Iraqi instructors and expertise? Why was a top Iraqi chemical weapons expert at the Sudan bomb factory, as decribed by former defense secretary William Cohen, a leading reason for Clinton to OK blasting it with the Lewinsky grand jury testimony cruise missile? So, Saddam and Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism? I guess we had no right picking on that Hitler guy, since Germany didn't attack us at Pearl Harbor, right? Oh, by the way, Terry Nichols (main co-conspirator with Tim Mcveigh) had documented cell phone calls to Ramsi Yousef,Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the Al Qaeda boys, then hangng out in those night clubs in the Philippines in the early 90's, before the fateful Oklahoma City bombing. What precisely did they talk about? What a coincidence, making calls to the WTC 93 bombing masterminds, before bombing Oklahoma city! What a coincidence! Hey slave, do you like my red state low IQ?

OH NOOOOOO I found out my dog is a liberal !!!!! Happened when I got him neutered !!!!

WHO CARES WHAT A MEGALOMANIAC FOOL LIKE KEVIN COSTNER HAS TO SAY. I WOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR WHAT A BUS DRIVER OR GARBAGE COLLECTOR THINKS THAN A WASHED UP ELITIST THAT HAS BOMBED EVERY MOVIE BEFORE AND SINCE "DANCES WITH WOLVES". HES A WORSE ACTOR THAN TOM CRUISE AND EVERY MOVIE HE PLAYS HIMSELF. IT SOUNDS LIKE A CASE OF SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL.(EVERYBODY HATES HIM HE/ NEVER HAD A CHANCE) BTW THE BUSH FAMILY HAS A LONG HISTORY OF CORRUPTION AND GREED. SKULL AND BONES, UNION BANK DEALING W/ NAZIS, DRUG TRAFFFICING,ETC... HEY YOU MAKE YOUR BED YOU LAY IN IT, OR MORE APPROPRIATLY, DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE.. MAYBE IF BUSH WASNT SUCH A PUPPET HADENT LET DADDY AND CO. CONTINUE RUINING OUR LIVES AND COUNTRY THEN HE WOULDNT BE SUCH A "TARGET". MAYBE IF HE EXERCISED CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INSTEAD OF BEING A TOTAL HYPOCRITE, WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS SITUATION. ALL YOU "RED STATE" FOLKS ARE EITHER ABSOLUTELY LOW IQ MORONS OR SHILLS LIVING OFF OF THE COLLECTIVE FEAR OF "TERRORISTS". YOUR ANCESTORS WOULD BE ASHAMED AT THE PEASANTS YOU HAVE BECOME. BY THE WAY EISENHOWER SAID THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL HAVE TOTAL SECURITY IS BEING IN PRISON.

sodapants Muslims are. Sorry, but that's the case. <b> and, er, Christians are responsible for Tim McVeigh?</b> Luckily for us... Bush is FINALLY doing something about it. <b> Ah..They killed 3000 on his watch, of course he's doing something about it...he's attacking Iraq who attacked us on 9/11...wait a minute...</b> We exist to ensure ours. <b>Quiet down you old bible thumper you</b> So the obvious answer is...

Thank you, Kevin Costner. It's nice to know there are still some kind, compassionate and sensible people left in Hollywood. I am a Republican, and did not particularly care for Bill Clinton, but he was still my president and I would never have wished for anything bad to happen to him. We cannot afford to lose our civility or our unity as a nation or we are lost!

mousie u must be one the quick witted, highly educated, comeback liner libs out there..... ur just brilliant......why haven't u responded to some of the more intelligent posts out there instead of picking on poor menge......... Here is a yuk 4 all of my right of center bretheren..... the libs, well u can kiss my butt...... THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER! Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing,archery, and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta love the Marines! AMERICA, THE HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

Way to go Minge. Your vocabulary tells the whole story. Did you graduate all the way to 7th grade? I rest my case.

This film is left wing pornography. Let's just hope these liberals can keep themselves decent during the show. Costner is right on.

and gop"Blows",,, what happened to your screen name "GeorgeWNixon",,, got banned ?

No no no... liberals aren't the reason we're in Iraq or Afghanistan. Muslims are. Sorry, but that's the case. I doesn't really matter how 'we' react to islamism... it'll still be there no matter who is in office... and no matter who continurs to do nothing about it. Luckily for us... Bush is FINALLY doing something about it. It's a case of 'tough sh1t' for the muslim gang and the Jihad All-Stars. But so what? We don't exist to ensure 'their' way of life. We exist to ensure ours. So the obvious answer is... "f**k them". It's time to stand up a a little bit taller and eliminate the human garbage that is islam these days. Sorry if that hurts... but we all know that muslims sure as hell aren't in a hurry to come out and condem terrorism or the massive death it causes. oops.... Carry on.. and God Bless America

i skimmed thru the comments, as i work for a living, i cannot take the time to read all of the responses. DT-NYC, maybe you will be in the right place next time we get hit. It is heartening for the real Patriots, the real Americans here and to see so much support for our President and this country. DT-NYC, go back to your mosque, you aren't fooling anybody here. You are the reason we are still in Iraq, and the reason the war will go on with our without your support.

"... should have gone where the TERRORISTS WERE, and STILL ARE. Afghanistan is where they are STILL creating terror, but what has Bungling Bush done? He has left the job of finding Bin Laden to MUSLIMS who have NO INTEREST in finding their fellow Islamic murderer. Now, Pakistan won't even allow US Troops into their nation to pursue Bin Laden or the Taliban!"----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- >I guess NYC missed the Afghanistan war, and the new government that replaced the Taliban. >Pakistan did not let US troops into most of its country, right from the start of the war. Pakistan has nukes. Want to test them on it? Costner is a real man. He has decency and is not afraid to speak his mind. For all the people who love this movie here are a few more movies you might enjoy about famous people: > Prime time shooting of real news anchor. Yay? > Pundit run over intentionally on campus, Whoopee? I could not put a real name on these death fantasies without making myself sick to my stomach it is so evil. Can't you people see what monsters you have become" God Bless Costner for his goodness.

Paratrooper Thank God for courageous AMERICAN men and women like yourself, that protect the rights and speech of imbecilles like DT-NYC.... And to all of the hipocrat dems out there. I guess it's OK for the Clinton's who didn't see "The Path to 9/11", but still had their attorneys try and squash that film because it wasn't 100% accurate (I guess free speech doesn't apply to them)..... But!!!!! the depiction of killing a sitting US President is OK..... I weep for you and for any offspring that you bring into this world......

I can't remember when I have heard a movie star take a public stand on values of decency and empathy for fellow human beings. Thank you, Kevin, for speaking out against making a film of the assasination of a sitting president. It has to be the lowest insult anyone can give to a president. It reveals a lack of respect for the man and his office and I appreciate Kevin's understanding of this and his willingness to make a statement about it.

It's funny to hear the hysterics of the idiot left over a celebrity who actually voices reason instead of hysterics and shrill talking points. They defend tooth-and-nail Michael Moore, George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Rob Reiner, Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin, and numerous other celebrities who spew outright lies to a sympathetic media day after day and place them on an intellectual pedestal merely because they are famous. Yet when there is a celebrity who voices something different, well, these limp-wristed whiners get themselves in a tizzy. It really is amusing. They have no grip on reality whatsoever.

I have a new respect for Costner finally someone who cares about someone other then himself. I will spend my money to see his movies and boycot the frozen brain dead clowns who think its ok to destroy the man who runs this country free speech is fine but we are at war with a enemy who straps a bomb to their own baby to kill other inocents. they are raised to kill and have no problem killing any of us and won't stop till they either do or we get them first. Our troops are our first line of defense and for these clowns to bad mouth the President our this country is only fueling the enemy to keep on fighting. To make this movie is sick and only shows the enemy all it has to do is divide and conquer.

Thank you Kevin Costner for your decency and integrity in the face of Hollyweird. It is refreshing to see that there are a few actors left who have genuine class. Leave it to the looney left wing whackos to push their sick agenda over the limit. Yes, we have free speech in this country, but with that privilege should come a conscience with responsibility. Hard as it is to believe, over 50% of this country voted for Bush, and the Iraq War. Red staters see clearly that Iraq is part of a bigger strategy in the Middle East. Too bad you blueys insist on blinders of hatred, just because Bush won the election twice. You are only proving you are not capable of defending this country from terrorists who strap bombs onto their own children in order to kill us. Therapy might help. I suggest you try it before you get us all killed.

I have a new respect for Costner finally someone who cares about someone other then himself. I will spend my money to see his movies and boycot the frozen brain dead clowns who think its ok to destroy the man who runs this country free speech is fine but we are at war with a enemy who straps a bomb to their own baby to kill other inocents. they are raised to kill and have no problem killing any of us and won't stop till they either do or we get them first.

seriously, do y'all really care? kevin costner weighing in on this 'great' debate really matters? first of all -- this is america and if you don't like the free expression of ideas, then please, leave because otherwise you are impinging on MY freedom. secondly, if you take kevin costner's (or any celebrity's) opinion and put any value in it you are a moron. thirdly, for me, kevin costner saying something is bad is a little like that vice principal you hated in high school saying something is bad -- makes me more likely to see it. as does all of your freedom-hating rhetoric if you believe this film should be censored. remember, freedom of speech and freedom of expression were enacted so that minority viewpoints could not be repressed. it doesn't mean you have to like the minority viewpoints and it doesn't mean you even have to listen to them, but someone with a minority viewpoint shouldn't be treated like a criminal. if that's what you want, then i seriously suggest you take your anti-american sentiment elsewhere -- i suggest you start in iran.

To - Paratrooper and Jarhead. Thank you for your service! People like you make me even MORE proud to be American. I'm a huge supporter of President Bush. I truely believe he is a good man who is trying to do what he believes is best for our country. It amazes me how ANYONE can stand the pressure and negative feedback he gets everyday from media and democrat-liberals who work so hard to see him fail. I wonder what we could have accomplished as Americans working together instead of so much energy used to defeat the other political party. Also - thanks to Kevin Costner for defending good values and morals!

thanks for your comment more should have the guts to standup for what is rightany theater that runs this should loose all there business

LOL!!! gopblows.. you're just another sniveling little b1tch-liberal. Nothing you just said makes any sense what-so-ever... but we're not surprised since it comes from a leftist moron like yourself. We're used to it. You need to get a new act, you Nancy. Even your parrot is getting tired Here: You and your parrot can share this cracker and come back later. Maybe a 'time-out- will help ya. hahah... what an idiot...

Go Kevin Go!! I really admire him for taking the moral high ground! This film is ridiculous! God Bless our Troops and God Bless the majority elected President of the United States, President George W. Bush!

I am so proud of Kevin Costner for speaking out about this film. I am going one step further however. I will boycott forever any theater that shows the movie, and I am an avid movie goer. I would do the same thing if the movie showed the assassination of Bill Clinton or even Ted Kennedy. Wrong is wrong!

Hummmm ... let's see ... a majority of Americans voted for President Bush because he has the balls to blow the s*** out of those who: 1. kill Americans (WTC, Pentagon, United 93)<b> actually, Shrub pulled the troops out of Afganistan before the invasion of Iraq--so he really <i>hasn't</i> blowned anything but smoke up your *ss</b> 2. commit genocide (Saddam)<b> like what was the happening to the Kurds when his father was president?</B> 3. try to kill another American President (Saddam issued an assasination again (Prez Bush Sr) <b>how about americans period. You know, like when our Marines were killed in Beruit and Reagan retaliated by invading Granada? </b> Let's see if I get this right. A majority of the Liberals, democrats, outside dumb***es would rather stand on the side lines <b> you must mean the Texas Air National Guard</b> and let things spiral out of control. <b> they sure are rossssy now</b> That's is why heartless little scum bags like you are NOT in control to do a man's work. <b>like being a cheerleader in college?</b> The film is an insult to President Bush, his family, me, and the other Americans who voted for him Like him or hate him, this was a cruel and low class way of showing "art". Is this what artists have come to? <b> I don't care for it either. But I also never liked Falwell hawking 'The Clinton chronicles' on his show every sunday morning or the constant accusations about Vince Foster, that truth be known, distracted the president from running the country as well as he <i>should</i> have. Or Robertson wishing the lord would 'take care' of the Supreme court justices he doesn't agree with. I never heard any complaints from the moderates on the right then. So don't hold your breath waiting for outrage from our side. Face it, the people who voted for this clown deserve the cr*p we're in. I hope you enjoy the flavor.</b>

Remember something else, also..... I make fun of Canada a lot because it's easy to do and they're a good target. But don't misunderstand. Half of Canada, like the United States, believes in this war and support it greatly. But just like in the US, the only thing you'll ever see in the media are the moronic appeasers who would rather get on their knees and have their their head sawed off than fight. That type of spineless liberals is found everywhere. The Canadian press isn't much different than our own. But there are a fair amount of Canadian boys in Afghanistan and Iraq... and they've been killed to. Wade through the media mud and see what's actually happening. I love Canada... mostly because they invented hockey....but just the same. Thanks boys,.. for showin' up.

This movic is SICK! And anyone that would go see it is boderline sick. Sometimes, there should be limits. The limits should be self imposed. Why not have a movie about the director being murdered!

I have always enjoyed this talented actor, and now my respect for him as a human being is overwhelming. Thank you.

Hey DT-NYC, Do you really feel that this is a stupid war? If you do feel that way, then you must understand that most of us do not feel that. We feel, and know within our hearts, that our childrens futures are at stake. This "stupid war" (as you call it) has keep the wolf at the door. We have been able to free 50 million souls from a life of horror and pain. If you don't see that, then there's not much a person can do for you. I feel you're probably thinking that "peace" will show us the way. Truth is, "peace" only comes with strenght. Mr. Costner's remarks are that of a fellow father. His true concern was the impact that could happen to any person who is soley targeted. Regardless of what people think of his talent (Mr. Costners, by the way, I love his movies) you have to give him the mic. Hell, you all gather around the soap-box when Michael Moore belches out his thoughts. Oh-yeah, one more thing: The dead and wounded soldiers. Keep in mind that you have no right speaking for them. They don't need you to justify their lives. Stop using them as a political bullet.

I applaud Kevin Costner for his statement, I just wish that abc had`nt censored the scene in the path to 9/11 were BILLY BOB CLINTON is smoking a joint while being sodomized by osama bin laden. Now that`s reality TV.

With little dis-regard for Mr. Costner's political affiliation, he has gained a considerable amount of respect from me for making a statement out of courtesy and respect to the office of the Presidency and to this country.

STOP !!! They learn to build weapons. They learn to build chimical weapons. They´re coming to our universities to learn it. We give them our old tanks and so many other things. Why?! To get some money. That´s all - only money!

Kevin Costner's new movie looks like garbage.

TO: Paratrooper Thank you for your service. Like you, I fail to understand the argument that there were no terrorists in Iraq until we got there. Now, ignoring the ambiguity of that declaration I’d have to say (like you) “So what?” That’s like saying that we didn’t have a problem with flies until the dog took a dump on the porch! So we “lured” the scum to Iraq to fight us there. Would these latte-swilling, NY Times reading, pampered children prefer to have their local Starbucks bombed? This attitude displays a complete lack of understanding of how war is properly waged. They likely come from households where they weren’t allowed to have cap guns or watch Bugs Bunny because Elmer Fudd blew off Daffy Duck’s bill. I feel sorry for them, but they shouldn’t be in position to dictate to the rest of us who had stable upbringing, who were taught empathy, who have the testicular fortitude to do something that they could never do. They call us “simplistic” that Republicans (and especially military personnel) are rubes. I say it is they who are “simplistic” in that they seem to believe that all you have to do is buy the world a coke and sing Kumbaya to solve all our problems. The “Ostrich Approach” to foreign policy got us to where we are now. Clinton avoided confrontations so that he could have a legacy of peace in the Middle East. He appeased them and North Korea and now we have an adult in charge that takes his job seriously and has to clean up his mess (and I don’t mean pressure-washing the Oval Office). I wish the Democratic Party leadership had not degenerated into the pathetic, power-hungry fools that they are. JFK would be ashamed of Teddy (hiccup) and the whole lot. I have no doubt that if he couldn’t turn them around, he’d be a Republican, also. My wife was a life-long Democrat, but is the staunchest supporter of our President and the war because, thanks to Fox News, the crap that the Democrats pull is no longer covered up and controlled by the so-called “mainstream media”. You know what you called an informed voter? A Republican. By the way, I could be swayed to vote for a “Joe Lieberman/Zell Miller” ticket. Short of that pairing though – I’m hoping for Guillianni/Rice. Semper Fi

STOP !!! They learn to build weapons. They learn to build chimical weapons. They´re coming to our universities to learn it. We give them our old tanks and so many other things. Why?! To get some money. That´s all - only money!

As usual... usless, pinhead liberals frothing at the mouth can't want to support such trash and even take shots at President Bush's family. (but they're the tollerant, inclusive ones.... it's important to remember that). I think Costner is a putz for the most part and his films usually stink. But at least he's man enough to be able to separate reason from pure insanity. The infantile left, for the most part, and it's retarded armies aren't as lucky as Mr. Costner is. Most of these bed-wetting mooks need to go see the wizard for a freakin' brain. Carry on.

To: Jarhead & Paratrooper Well said, thank you for your service. And to those that read this thank a teacher, if its in English thank those that serve in the Armed forces of the Greatest Nation on earth! OOORAH!

To: Jarhead & Paratrooper Well said, thank you for your service. And to those that read this thank a teacher, if its in English thank those that serve in the Armed forces of the Greatest Nation on earth! OOORAH!

Yes Keven C. is right on in all his comments...Rude and sick with no respect for your own President or his family...Make me wonder why anyone would even take the job on for the way you all treat it... Oh and I'm a Canadian married to a American lady...

What is the substance behind the movie? Is it a protest movie? Is it a movie that the director decided to make so he could "kill" President Bush? What is the purpose of this movie? If it has no message, if it does not have meaning, then it is gratuitous junk. If it is a protest movie what purpose does the portyal of assassinating Bush have in the big picture? We know the radical Muslims don't like him. We know a lot of people don't like him. That fact actually reduces the impact of his portrayed assassination. Kennedy's assassination was so shocking because of his popularity. No one saw it coming. To make a film that has Bush being killed because people don't like him lends itself to the message that he deserves to be killed, and that is BS no matter who the sitting president is. Being the POTUS is the most thankless job. No matter how well you do, half the country is not going to like you. Why any one wants the job is beyond me. Even if a person becomes president and totally botches the job completely, he does not deserve to die. People who kill a world leader either in reality or on film does so in a self-serving way. I have not seen the film, I am curious to perhaps see it in order to answer my above mentioned questions. Does the director have a point in this fictionalized assassination, or is he doing it for shock value with no substance. Either way, I agree with Mr. Costner, it is too far to push it, for no good reason.

I'm not a great fan of Kevin Costner so this is not a "star struck" response. His speaking out has increased my respect for him tremendously. Finally someone brings the need for a sense of humanity to the forefront. He is right on. In the vicious world we live in and he works in especially, he is courageous to speak out . I applaud him.

Well said, Jarhead. Also, sorry for the foul language, everyone. On topic: I'm pleasantly surprised by what Mr. Costner said. I don't think it's a good idea to portray any living person as being killed in a movie - much less our President.

I appreciate Mr. Costner's comments and if he's reading this - Thank You. As for some of the comments made from DT-NYC and his ilk, I hope you live long enough to grow up; by that I don’t mean chronologically, I mean understanding how life REALLY works. There will always be people who want or resent what you have and will never rest until they have taken or destroyed that which they despise. There will always be those who are willing to give in to them and appease their cause to avoid the confrontation. We had 8 years of appeasement under Clinton – look where it has brought us. Fortunately, there will also always be those who are willing to stand up for what they believe and defy tyrants. This description not only applies to our current President but the men and women who serve under him in the Armed Forces. There will always be anomalies, as a former Marine I knew some who did not WANT to be in and their lives were miserable. They were not drafted, just changed their minds. WHAH! No one forced them to sign the papers. Judges don’t force people into the service as an alternative to prison. In an all-volunteer service you are there because at one time you decided to join. Some gamble for the college. Great! I hope that works, but sometimes you roll snake-eyes and get called to do that for which you’ve been trained. Those that keep whining like they’re speaking for the military, I have one thing to say – STOP IT! You are not cut from the same cloth as these men and women who are much better people than you’ll ever be. They see something much greater than themselves and are willing to do whatever it takes to preserve that. In this case it is our way of life. If you don’t appreciate that then just shut up and suck you thumb. The rest of us do appreciate it and thank them continually. I have a son on the USS Enterprise. I am EXTREMELY proud of him. There are those who want to institute a draft. They SAY they want it because it would put the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful at the same risk as the rest of us. Whether that would actually be the case or not is really not the question. Face it, Al Gore went to Vietnam, but he was a photographer who was surrounded by security at all times. Somehow, I don’t think that’s quite the same risk. Chuck Hagel has been one of the biggest proponents of the draft and here’s why I think that is. He and the other ultra-left have been actively trying to undermine the war effort and drum up support from the American people. They have not been successful, in fact despite polls that read otherwise, a HUGE majority still believe that what we are doing is the RIGHT thing to do. Their concern is in the WAY it is being executed – Monday morning quarterbacking. The frustration that the Democrat leadership feels is due to the fact that they can’t rally the kids into the street to protest like they did in their dope-smoking, anti-Vietnam war days. The reason they can’t is because all of these kids know that if they don’t WANT to fight then all they have to do is NOT JOIN! Without the draft, Hagel et al have no one to rally and whip into a frenzy. The ploy is quite transparent. There will always be spoiled, self-centered and cowardly people who insist that their life is worth more than everyone else’s and therefore sit back and watch as others die to give them that right. Semper Fi

Movies suck! play some good music instead! Like this!! <p>

To: DT-NYC Your comments suggest you know nothing of the war on terror or who our enemy actually is, namely Islamo-fascism. As a moderate democrat, you guys on the extreme left make me ashamed to be in the same party. Now I speak from the unique perspective of having served in both Iraq and Afghanistan with fellow soldiers, I have buddy's who have paid the ultimate price (6 well know, many others not as well known). You know what, most of us believe in what we are doing, you people (fanatic left) don't support us despite your meanless jestures of "I support the troops not the war." Yeah right, tell me HOW practically speaking. The only support I saw from "To any soldier" letters or packages came from "red" states or fundamentalist churches both of which are clearly in the Right's corner. Notice we are an all VOLUNTEER Army and we are men/women big enough to make our own decision to join or not. Despite your thoughts we are not stupid, hell I have almost completed my graduate degree in Civil Engineering. Some in the military disagree, but most of us (~90%) believe that the President does the right thing most of the time. And personally, I prefer an "away game", better their citizens to be unfortunate casualties on the sidelines than ours. Let the terrorist/Taliban continue to come to Afghanistan/Iraq, we weld a pretty big stick in both places. This "game" ain't over yet, and yes, We haven't caught UBL yet, but he can't do much in BFE Pakistan hiding in some cave. So in the last 5 years, he makes a video every now and then to let us know he's still breathing...thanks. Who knows maybe YALE admitted him as freshman? We haven't check there. If you have any question as to the validity of my statements…go there and see for yourself. Its amazing, only bad news is reported, a lot of good things happen there. You spoke of casualties, well look at the number of casualties vs. any war we fought prior (Desert Storm was a 100 hour operation not a war). Your comments and those of the left only lead to demoralize us and disrupt our job. So from all the soldiers, make a valid point or just shut up. As for this movie, I am surprised, I didn't think the left could stoop this low. I am personally going to change from democrat to republican for the next election, I will not be affiliated with any party that remotely endorses crap of this nature. -UNITED STATES Paratrooper -Ft. Bragg, NC

What if this fictitious portrait was done on Clinton? How about Kennedy prior to his actual assassination? Death to your president is NOT a joke regardless of which party he is from. It is actually a criminal offense to suggest you are going to kill the president. To disagree with government policy is totally different than killing the president. I guess killing him has become the only way the childish name calling opposition can use since they cannot get a legitimate case to impeach. There isn't one. You can also disagree with the war and not understand the good our volunteer soldiers are doing to protect our right to show films like these. Costner is actually defending your country and your president (whom YOU elected). He deserves our praise.

How's this for intellectual, Mousy: You're a blue-state bitch who thinks she's somebody. What bothers me is your vote counts as much as mine.

One day we are going to see a headline that reads "Iran Nukes Israel" if The PEACE AT ANY PRICE CROWD has their way. Peace, what a novel idea if everyone in the world was on board.. but they are not.There are those who believe that all infidels must be converted, enslaved,or killed and they welcome death if it facilitates their goals. If some pervert molests or kills your child should we sit down and negotiate with him that if he only molests or kills one child per year, or that he just focuses his efforts in the bad part of town that we will look the other way? What good are negotiations with those whe do not deal in good faith? All negotiations do is buy more time and give extremists legitimacy. What about all the innocent people who have had their heads removed from their bodies? When was their time for negotiation? They did not get any mercy because the vermin that killed them do not negotiate even with a civilian who has no power to change anything. The terrorists are cowards who hide behind women and children and are they first to parade the dead bodies because our media is ever so eager to portray our efforts in a negative way. The killers know they cannot beat our military so the use our media. The more time passes the more convinced I am that liberals are spineless when it comes to defending this GREAT and it is GREAT country. God Help Us

Having served in Iraq, i believe that those who criticize why we are there are foolish. The left needs something to whine about, Saddam was a vicious disgusting leader of a terrorist state. He slaughtered people because he could. the very discourse we are having wouldn't have been allowed under penalty of death in that country 4 years ago. Give me 10 years to hide wmd's in the state of cali and trust me you won't find them. BTW, allow me to move them to a neighboring state and you surely won't find them. the arguments for and against will rage on for years to come. my only question for the left side of the isle is what is your plan? not that we shouldn't be there, what is your plan to fight the modern terror war? Anyway to get back on point, bravo Mr Costner, if this film would have been made during the clinton years the left leaning public would have been up in arms. Example: The Path to 9/11 on ABC. anyhoo flame as you will... my 2 cents....

Hooray for Costner, Finally, someone with some common sense and decency in Hollywood. No matter what your politics, it is never "okay" to film a fake assassination of a man still in office, who as Costner opines, has a family who can be affected by this. People need to take this hatred of Pres. Bush that they are obsessed with, and channel all that energy into something positive, like working toward the safety and security of the USA. Canada enjoys the security we provide FOR them, it is the height of ingratitude and lack of character that they they would enjoy a film of this type.

Hummmm ... let's see ... a majority of Americans voted for President Bush because he has the balls to blow the s*** out of those who: 1. kill Americans (WTC, Pentagon, United 93) 2. commit genocide (Saddam) 3. try to kill another American President (Saddam issued an assasination again Prez Bush Sr) Let's see if I get this right. A majority of the Liberals, democrats, outside dumb***es would rather stand on the side lines and let things spiral out of control. That's is why heartless little scum bags like you are NOT in control to do a man's work. The film is an insult to President Bush, his family, me, and the other Americans who voted for him Like him or hate him, this was a cruel and low class way of showing "art". Is this what artists have come to?

To, Direct (one), I could make no sense out of your comment. You critiqued my comment, so here's one for you. Since I am not able to hear the written word, as you obviously can, you seem to be a very inarticulate, uneducated, republican southerner trying to seem more than you are. Too many grits & hog chitlins, & inbreeding does not make for your so called wisdom. Have a good one.

NYC, I'm sorry I gave you the benefit of the doubt and implied that you were an intellectual.

DT-NYC, Instead of pretending you're some kind of blood thirsty patriot, out to get Osama, why not just spew what you really want to say: You hate Bush. Just write that sentence a few times for effect, with exclamation marks, and save yourself the time trying to convince people you actually care about anything else. For those who remember what this article was about - well said, Mr. Costner.

Dear clk, If Bush was interested in stopping terror, he would have found BIN LADEN by now. But NO! Bin Laden works much better as a SCARY FIGURE to fool morons like YOU into voting for him and his loser supporters in Congress. WHERE's OSAMA BIN LADEN AFTER FIVE YEARS, GEORGE? YOU IDIOT! The longer Bin Laden is loose, the more the terrorists think they can get away with killing Americans and other infidels around the world. Bush should have gone where the TERRORISTS WERE, and STILL ARE. Afghanistan is where they are STILL creating terror, but what has Bungling Bush done? He has left the job of finding Bin Laden to MUSLIMS who have NO INTEREST in finding their fellow Islamic murderer. Now, Pakistan won't even allow US Troops into their nation to pursue Bin Laden or the Taliban! THIS is how you fight terrorism? No, we shouldn't have done NOTHING after 9/11. Living in NYC and having seen the buildings fall on my friends and loved ones, I'm very aware of the threat and the problem. But Bush should have done THE RIGHT THING FOR AMERICA, not the BEST THING FOR HALLIBURTON. Big difference. Bush should have WIPED OUT the Taliban and Bin Laden YEARS AGO. Even this Bungler-in-Chief has ADMITTED that Iraq had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. Get a freaking CLUE, OK? By the way, my brother is not there by choice. And I get FAR MORE INFORMED FACTS than are ever broadcast on CNN. Stop being blinded by your fear and realize we are fighting the WRONG WAR in the WRONG PLACE.

Dear DT_NYC, Step away from the Kool-Aid now. Then perhaps you will be able to have a coherent thought again. Maybe, at the very least, you will have a thought that was not fed to you by your party. Do us all a favor and have a cup of coffee instead!

At last a Hollywood actor who has a working head on his shoulder. The Hollywood left would be foaming att he mouth if a movie was made about Clinton getting shot by a jealous husband or by his own wife for all his cheating. Funny how they always have the double standard. Bravo Mr. Costner.

DT-NYC, Do you realize in your tirade that you are actually negating everything your brother is doing right now? He's over there because he supports our nation. You're absolutely right(sarcasm), we should have done nothing after September 11th...we should have let them get away with everything they did...we should have sat down and hid. In doing so we would have opened our doors to more terror. President Bush has not forgotten those lost nor hopefully will our Nation. Those people over there continuing the fight (including your brother) are over there avenging the deaths of those true Americans and showing the world that we refuse to roll over and play dead. Your letter shows that you have great passion. Use it to support your brother and those families directly affected by this war, including President Bush.

I was no fan of Bill Clinton's by any means! But would feel the same way about a tasteless movie depicting the death of our President. I appreciate Mr. Costner having the guts to stand up and say something about it.

Mr. Costner, Thanks for being a small voice of reason in sea of anti-religous hate. I don't know your politics, but your statement on this film is courageous given the dominant leftist among your industry. Generally, I think that entertainers should keep their personal views persona. In this case, you are directly affected by the tasteless film, and rightfully have a voice. To the rest of you left wing fascist loving, terrorist appeasing fanatics, wake up and see that we are in a war not of our choosing. We have been under attack by Extremist Islamic Fascists since the Iranian Embassy hostage crisis under Carter. There were numerous hijackings and murders directed at American citizens for years before we ever engaged in Gulf War II. The Gulf Wars did not cause anti-American Terrorism, but appeasement and weakness since the 60s has encouraged it. You are traitors. You should move to Spain or France, or better yet, to Iran and see how well the females of your ilk like being kept out of school, barefoot and pregnant at the age of 14. If you want to support those "human rights", then you are supporting the correct crowd and ought to move in with them. You are so blinded by your own propaganda that you can't see the forest through the trees. Note: you are now the establishment. The anti-establishment banner is now carried by conservatives, who while thrilled with everything neo-cons have done, are sick and tired of having our freedoms deprived by your emotional hysterics from the 60's and on to today. Try to get out of your amygdala and into your neo-cortex. For a translation, try reading something other than Hollywood entertainers cum political experts and People Magazine. Cheers.

Bravo Kevin! I'm glad at least a handful if not more actors and actresses "see" the line being crossed in this movie! I just wish more people with who have some significant wealth woouldd pool their monies and attempt to "out" the partisan fighting in the eform of movies that often attempt to rewrite history. Kevin, I'm proud of the many moviess you've made over the years ans one of my kid's favorites are Waterworld, Dances with Wolves, Silverado, The Postmen, and of course the gruesome but realistic The Untouchables! Obviously I'm writing to respond along with you, to the lack of decency and credibility these people have in putting forward a movie that deoicts the asassination of sitting pres. right while the country and perhaps the world reflects on what happened that day, the insensitivity and lack of conscience leads me to believe these people have not had life experiences that would instill in them some sort of a moral compass or morality "check" to examine their motives and intnetions. If Caroline Kennedy Schlossburg were asked about whether to air the movie or not, I wonder what she would say. thank you for standing uo and speaking your mind against the tide of Hollywood public opinion, Joe Gates

So when will Gabriel Range start on his movie about the assassination of the Queen?

Mr Costner...now I know why I am a fan of yours. I am a supporter of President Bush and it heartened me to see your comments on "Assassination of a President". I know that you disagree with many of the President's policies...but it is good that you are not afraid to stand up for what is right. Thank you.

Big Costner fan here..never miss a flick...his comments concerning the film depicting the assassination of an American President is heartening and confirms all the good things I've thought of Mr. Costner...Though I would probably disagree with most of his political beliefs, Mr. Costner is at least a thoughtful and thinking liberal. A rare breed in todays public discourse.

Dear Mousi, It's not a matter of getting a life, it's a matter of living a principled life. You sound very young. When ones life is filled with wisdom one then gains true quality of life.

Thank you Kevin Costner! I teach high school and lately have become so disheartened at the way many of these kids think. They don't know many of the issues that they are speaking against, all they know is what they see in the media. A movie such as this one takes Freedom of Speech WAY out of context. We may not always agree with what happens in the White House, however we don't know everything that happens behind those doors. We have our own lives and many of us are ignorant to how the government works and what goes in to EVERY decision made. We forget all of the good that our President has done and we jump on the bandwagon degrading him and in the process degrading our nation. It doesn't matter whether or not you agree with what our President has done. The fact remains that he is our President. Until we support and show pride in our Nation, we will continue on the downward spiral into destruction. It's sad really that someone has been able to make it this far with a movie such as this. It should have been stopped long before.

There just has to be some agenda for such a crazy film. Maybe it is hoped that all America will run to Bush's defense, outraged, & just maybe his ratings will go up. Why not impose Howdy Doody's face over Bush's & forget the whole thing. We spend too much time over nothing. Costner's opinion means nothing. All you bleeding heart Republicans, get a life.

First, Costner wouldn't know a decent film if it bit him on his talentless behind. Second, Costner's "empathy" would be more sincere and better spent on the US SOLDEIRS who ACTUALLY DIE for Bush's uselss war in Iraq. Costner is thinking of Bush's kids and wife? What about the wives and kids of the almost 2,700 DEAD US SOLDIERS who have died for nothing but HALLIBURTON and OIL COMPANIES? What about the almost 20,000 DISABLED US SOLDIERS who will never work another day in their lives? Who is going to support their families now? BUSH? COSTNER? Please. When Jenna and Barbara Bush go to Iraq and serve their nation in their daddy's stupid war, I'll feel empathy for them. But I guess that's just for kids named RODRIGUEZ and JOHNSON, right? Oh, and THOMS, since my brother is there right now, fixing helicopters north of Mosul. Maybe showing Bush what it might be like if HE HIMSELF WAS ACTUALLY KILLED is the way to STOP THIS STUPID WAR.

Thank goodness for some actors who have a since of decency. I hated Clinton but NEVER wished him harm, I Hated Clinton, but always gave him the respect of the office. I find it so hypocritical that the Dems say this film showing the assassination of our president is free speech, a work of art, should be shown. But the CBS movie The Path to 9/11, Clinton and his goons have threaten to sue, yank broadcast licenses, cried about how it made them look. They only want free speech if it is speech that passes Democratic muster.

The comment directly above looks like a panel in This Modern World! God help us. It's Howard Beal's humanoids.

Just a quick response to “P”. According to the article Mr. Costner wasn’t actually in the audience at the screening so he couldn’t walk out. I agree with Mr. Costner’s statements, whether you agree or disagree with someone’s politics there should be self imposed limits. Surely anyone short of a absolute fanatic would recognize that this film is a horrible idea.

What do you expect. When all of Hollywood talk about the hatred of President Bush, that now in other countries its okay to kill him on film. If Costner had any really character and any other American actor or actress would have walked out of the screening, then I would have respected him and every other american there. His words mean nothing.

The only negative comment to Kevin's statement was another personal attack toward the messenger and not the message. Not a very rational comment. Must be awful to live with all of that hate, the kind of hate that fascist muslims rationalize with their fatah to kill us for not being muslim.
