Susan Sarandon: I Had Death Threats For Opposing War!

Source: The Independent

Well-known actress Susan Sarandon details how she received several death threats and verbal attacks after she criticised US policy in Iraq.

One has to love the thinking processes of the typical fundie Bush-loving supporter: go to church, be a good faithful Christian on Sunday, and then it's OK to go the entire week threatening one's life and intimidating them.

Hallelujah(!), praise the Lord(!), look down at watch, smile with glee, church is over, and now it's time to go bag some liberals...yee haw!

Film actress Susan Sarandon has revealed how she felt isolated and frightened by death threats and verbal attacks after she criticised US policy in Iraq.

The Thelma & Louise actress, a long-time political activist, said that she was branded a "Bin Laden lover" for questioning the US invasion of Iraq. In an interview to be screened today on ITV1 for Jonathan Dimbleby's programme, she said that the way she and her family had been targeted by the media and the public was "horrifying".

And she even details the classic extremist Republican, narrow-minded attack machine working at its best.

Ms Sarandon, 59, said that she believed there should have been more debate before the war, but anyone who questioned US policy was labelled "un-American".

Whatever happened to respecting other opinions on subjects or fostering a good debate?

Then again, I think about the collective IQ of most probably dishing out the death threats against those who offend their holy leader/president, and I answer my own question pretty quickly.
