It's getting ridiculous. "Oprah's only stumping for Obama because they're both black!" Give me a break.

29. LOL...Will Smith is stumping for Obama
Because he has a movie coming out this weekend and Letterman, Conan, TDS and Colbert are dark because of the WGA strike. So it's more than race/gender now!!!1

21. Fortunately there are still lots of good people here
This election season has attracted the usual bunch of hardcore antagonists who are working for a campaign and think that they can feign neutrality by posting "legitimate" hit piece after hit piece. Then there are those who become too emotional to deal with the onslaught and go into "reactionary" mode. The whole thing ends up looking like one big ol' circus. Shame we can't have intelligent discussion when we need it most. Oh, well - c'est la vie.

Please don't denigrate me just because I failed to notice the sarcasm. You really don't have to be a jerk about it. Some of us don't spend every waking hour on DU to get the "inside jokes".

35. Lol - and you didn't get that my post was NOT about you but about the general environment
here lately. You miss the point once, then you miss the point again. This is kind of the crux of the issue, people are on a highly emotional tract and are talking right past each other.

6. And what will Robbins and Edwards answer be to the questions...
Tim, why did you feel the need to support Ralph Nader in 2000 over Al Gore?

Senator Edwards, do you agree with Tim Robbins' choice in 2000 to support Ralph Nader over fellow Democrat Al Gore?

7. Even Micheal Moore regrets voting for Nader
although at the time it was a popular stand for liberals, if they could have looked into the crystal ball and seen how truly horrid the BushCo dark ages would be, I'm sure most people would change their mind on that.

To me the fact that Tim is stumping for Edwards, not Kucinich -- means he thinks Edwards is the most liberal candidate who has a reasonable chance of winning. I agree!

I also love how Edwards is not running away from a proud LIBERAL who's not afraid of the word LIBERAL!!

13. On Real Time in 2004, Michael Moore and Bill Maher both begged
Ralph Nader not to run. If I remember correctly, Michael Moore actually got down on his knees.

bushite enabler over the last 7 long years? Why did you stab John Kerry in the back on national tv, hillary? Why did you vote for the vile kyl-lieman bill, hillary? Why are you so evasive, hillary? Have fun digging up Obama's kindergarten essay, hillary? Why do you think you're being so tough, hillary, when you come off like a coward, hillary?

8. Didn't he and his partner Susan campaign for Nader last time around?
Very happy to see them working for someone other than him this time around. But, if he doesn't win the nomination will they both be back to their old ways come election time?

I remember seeing them and that Phil Donahue guy campaigning hard for Nader last time around.

9. I say let's WELCOME ALL THE NADER VOTERS!!
I'm not going to bash Tim & Susan for stumping for Nader. They were one of the FEW CELEBS speaking out since before Iraq and they took a lot of shit for it. In 2000 they believed there was no difference between the major parties. They were wrong on that. But they were right about a lot of things and I admire their courage.

supporters Edwards is attracting. THE PEOPLE, who have been in the trenches fighting for "humanity" since FOREVER!!

Harry Belafonte, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, maybe they will start coming out of the woodwork now!! People I've always known that really truly care and have remained true to the cause!!

Al Gore? Where are you Al Gore??

28. I'm not an Edwards supporter but I think this is great - the more Dem voters get engaged the better.
And all those who dissed Oprah for campaigning with Obama or who are dissing Robbins for campaigning with Edwards can go fuck themselves.
