Creep73's Journal: A Letter to Tim :)

Tim Robbins is a hypocrite and doesn't have a clue what the right to free speech truly entails!

Tim, you state, "I can't tell you how moved I have been at the overwhelming support I have received from newspapers throughout the country in these past few days. I hold no illusions that all of these journalists agree with me on my views against the war." You clearly state that you are appreciative of those who use their freedom of speech to support you and/or your cause however you also have said, "Susan and I have been listed as traitors, as supporters of Saddam, and various other epithets by the Aussie gossip rags masquerading as newspapers, and by their fair and balanced electronic media cousins, 19th Century Fox." You are quite upset and verbally attack those media outlets that use their freedom of speech to oppose your viewpoints. You verbally attack news reporters who try to interview your family and use their rights. Stop being a hypocrite Tim! You go on to say, "I am extremely grateful that there are those of you out there still with a fierce belief in constitutionally guaranteed rights." Tim, has the government imposed any restrictions on you or penalized you in any way for saying what you have? The answer to that question is no.(Not to my knowledge at least) Private citizens and organizations have been the ones to lash out at you and your family for their views Tim. Those citizens have that freedom. You see, Tim, you are not the only one in this nation that has the right to freely speak his mind. If I don't want a person like you speaking at my organizational dinner, I have that right. You can call people names and spread your views and receive no retribution from the government. You have that right, however I have the right not to buy your movies. I have the right not to support you. By attacking people or organizations for expressing themselves unfavorably about your views, in the manner in which you have, you are expressing to me and others, the only person who should have the right to freely express himself or herself, in your opinion, are those that agree with you. You keep on talking your trash Tim because you have that right but do not expect any money coming from my pocket to yours.

You keep on talking Tim.
I talk with my pocketbook.
