The only explanation for their continued silence must be a large, organized kidnapping. To whoever is responsible for their disappearance, please post pictures of them holding a recent newspaper so we know they’re okay. Maybe one of these:

How about their last post 2009 communications?

[Darnell 8,478]

I am aware of 2013 communications from those in this list, with the exception of Ed Asner.

Oh yeah, pardon - Neil Young? Never payed any attention to him.

[Peikko 1,575]

How about their last post 2009 communications?

Don't be silly, that might disprove the non-point that is being attempted here

[Penny Lane 8,159]

When these celebrities speak out, the comments are always "who cares what they think? why do celebrities think we care about their opinions?"

Now we're wanting to hear from them?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

When these celebrities speak out, the comments are always "who cares what they think? why do celebrities think we care about their opinions?"

Now we're wanting to hear from them?

Because they were absolutely inconsolable when Bush started a war

Now it's like whatever

I think the point is they are loony left typical hypocrite

Yeah I admit, I DO want to hear if their stupidity is at least consistent.

Or just, well you know, politics.

You did a great job of proving your point, well done!

[Peikko 1,575]

Personally, I don't really read up on celebrities that much at all, I really don't know what any of them think about anything.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Ah, I see.

So someone who says "I don't think war is EVER the answer" ... should have to repeat this sentiment a certain amount of times before they become credible? I mean, what else is there to say?

I had no idea what celebrities think/say was so important to people.

I love the way the absence of something is used as proof of hypocrisy. I also particularly like the absence of posting in specific threads or the absence of posting specific topics as proof of things too. That's a very special way to make your point

[Danno 1,228]

Ahh yes I knew the far-Left defenders would give cover.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Ahh yes I knew the far-Left defenders would give cover.

Give cover to what, exactly? If these celebrities come out as pro-war all of a sudden, then I will call them hypocrites.

Simply not saying anything isn't something that needs to be 'covered'.
