Matt Damon is being attacked as a form of censorship. Last I checked we are all created equal and have all the same rights including freedom of speech.
Since GWB has been in office I have found that we as citizens are not allowed to speak our opinions anymore.
If they attack people like Matt Damon certainly others will keep their mouths shut.
Censorship will only get worse if we are silent!
This post could actually be in any of the CC threads going on in Other music!
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...GUARANTEED!

Oh please, the whole celebrity's 1st amendment rights being taken away shit is really old. The ironic thing, you always hear people bitching about this...HEAR people bitching about not having the right to speak...

Actually I hear more about how celebrities don't have a clue and should shut up and on....usually on any of the news programs.
Yeah they let you speak, but ridiculing someone for their opinion amounts to censorship.
First they ignore you you, then they ridicule you, then they attack you, then you win.
It's not censorship (at least not yet, anyway), but I just don't get why people get so pissed off about it. So Matt Damon said he wasn't a fan of Sarah Palin, big deal. This is what passes for news these days? Why do people get so up in arms about an actor's political opinion. It just seems like a waste of time.

I don't care either way what a celeb has to say. If they are informed and have a platform, lucky for them. Unless they are literally being denied the ability to speak, it is not censorship, no matter how you might want to spin it.
A celebrity has the right to say what they want to. They don't have the right to require me to listen or respect it.
Posts about censorship, or violations of the first ammendment in this thread are silly, but feel free to talk about it. It is your right, afterall. But I'll also exercise my right to call it silly.

Right Wing Extremists don't like people speaking against them or their agenda.
Of course when Bo Derek was championing for Bush Sr. all those years ago, Repubs were giddy with joy.
Actors, musicians...entertainers speaking on behalf and in favor of "Right Wing ideals" .........it's all good!

Matt Damon was reading Howard Zinn when he was 10 years old - he was his neighbour - he's also financially backing The People Speak
I just heard him speak at the TIFF during a preview of the movie - he's got a very educated point of view and not only do I enjoy listening to what he has to say - I agree with him
He sounds pretty ignorant when he says he would not be able to learn anything about her in the next 8 weeks. Try google or have your assistant get you all of the information. Funny when he questions her expereince yet his guy has been in the Senate for three years and been running for president for two of those years. Prior to that he was built by the Great Chicago Machine. But everyone feels good b/c he talks about change we can believe in whatever the fuck that is. I love it when the celebs open their mouths it just helps the Republicans every time. Shows you how week of a candidate Obama is, under the current conditions he should be running away with the election. Pretty funny to watch the Dems and how they always manage to Fuck up every election. Bad economy, unpop war and president and it is tight.

No it doesn't.
