Actress Daryl Hannah arrested in front of White House

[Bosonic]

Source: NBC

Much-arrested Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah was taken away from the White House in restraints Tuesday afternoon.

Hannah was taking part in an ongoing protest against the unbuilt Keystone XL oil pipeline.

"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom," Hannah said in Lafayette Park before her arrest. "And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

With dozens of others, Hannah sat on the sidewalk in front of the White House and refused three requests from the Park Police to move.

1. Just looked her up on Wiki and the article says that she claims to have Asperger's!

:evilgrin:

[icymist]

30. So?! What are you implying? n/t

[No Elephants]

122. Well done.

[reggie the dog]

114. i think he, as someone with aspergers

is simply happy to see another person with it doing so well

[Odin2005]

147. Thanks, that's exactly why I pointed it out.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

48. A wonderful reason to love her! I have ADD, and some say ADDers are on the autistic spectrum

Yipee!

[PatrynXX]

53. any ritalin la around

diagnosed with it in 2004 probably had it since I was young. Concerta sucks. mucks up the heart :( course we ritalin la takers take it with a black box warning. russian roulette anyone? don't know this word aspergers though

[Sarah Ibarruri]

58. I can't use ADD meds. I've got mitral valve prolapse.

I believe aspergers is a very high-level functioning sort of autism. In fact, some are highly intelligent.

What I do do is work out one heck of lot, I try to eat healthy, and I use Omega 3. That seems to help me.

[No Elephants]

124. Did you watch the PBS special on ADD?

There are a variety of non medical ways of coping. Depends on the individual, though.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

152. I didn't. Wish I had seen it. Yup, every ADDer copes differently.

I work very well by switching from activity to activity. You know, that multitasking they now say doesn't exist. It keeps my mind focused, ironic as that might seem.

[Odin2005]

148. I had to switch from Concerta to genetic slow-release ritalin because...

the later is much cheaper and so Minnesota Medical Assistance (our Medicaid) will no longer cover the former.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

153. Does slow-release Ritalin work for you? nt

[Odin2005]

157. Yup. I just have to remember to take the 2nd dose in the afternoon.

Otherwise I'll be real spacey at work, LOL.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

158. Ah ok. Do you also use some techniques to stay organized?

Or does the Ritalin help you enough that you don't have to?

There are lots of things I have to do to keep organized (since I cannot take any ADD/ADHD meds).

[Odin2005]

160. I do a lot of things to keep organized

I'm almost OCD with everything having a "proper place". I also have my cell phone remind me of daily chores I need to do.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

161. You've got your life pretty put together! Great! nt

[Sarah Ibarruri]

162. Love your blog! nt

[Odin2005]

163. Thanks, I havent posted on it in a while, I need to start again.

[No Elephants]

123. I had not heard that, but it explains a lot. Thank you.

I've thought for a while that I had asperger's, but I love joking and laughing at jokes. And, while I am shy, I can do okay in a social situation, even among strangers.

From what I've read, none of that is true of a person with asperger's. However, I found out not long ago that I have ADD.

I did see her smile when her arrest was being applauded by her fellow demonstrators, though.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

151. :) We ADDers rule! nt

[PonyJon]

66. Is there anyone going to speak to the subject? I can tell by your

comments you're all so hip and sophisticated. Daryl is to be commended for caring enough about her country to protest this one more republiCON Keystone Pipeline. She could easily be in the South of France sipping Chardonay in the Cot'e dor country side. You lameos are lucky a person like this cares about the air you breath and the health of the country you live in. I've no doubt that the lames getting "snarky" about Hannah are RepubliCON shills. I hope she'll be there for www.october2011.org STOP THE MACHINE! vote Democratic, slash RepubliCONs tires and key their cars and fart in the elevators they use!!!

[Odin2005]

149. ROFL!

[brooklynite]

3. Checking her stats at iMDB...

...she's signed up to appear in Quentin Tarentino's Kill Bill, Part 3.

I'm confused -- didn't they already Kill Bill?

[cstanleytech]

8. Yes but the movie left it open as to if her character died or not.

[immoderate]

13. It's flashbacks.

26. I'm too busy posting online to be bothered.

"Carol Anne, don't go into the light!"

[SleeplessinSoCal]

47. I see that happening. If we could just stick to the subject at hand.

[Mist]

6. Kudos to Daryl--though celebrities are seldom jailed for long....About the "Kill Bill vol.3"--well,

they've got a brand name already. Plus, it may be a "pre-quel." Wish they'd get it done before the release date of 2014!

[cstanleytech]

10. If I recall Tarantino said something along the lines of

the next part of the story will take place 10 years or so after the last movie time line wise and would likely involve Nikki the daughter of Vernita Green who the Bride killed in the kitchen near the beginning of the first film and that Sofie Fatale and Elle Driver as well might be involved as they may or may not have survived.

[frazzled]

7. Isn't that a bit dramatic?

"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom ... "? She maybe spends 45 minutes getting booked and released (as planned, in these actions). What does she think, she's a Freedom Rider in Mississippi in 1961?

I'm not saying the cause is wrong, just that Daryl Hannah was always a bad actress.

[Pyrzqxgl]

11. What the hell has her acting ability got to do with her political beliefs.

For that matter it's a different time & a different cause. Both of them worth standing up (or in this case
sitting down) for. Besides I think she's a pretty good actress.

[frazzled]

14. She's putting on a hammy act about her freedom instead of ...

of using her celebrity to make a cogent case. That's all.

[Jamastiene]

77. I have no problem watching any movie with her in it.

I watched on the other day with her in it. She played an alien praying mantis type creature who appeared as human. I wish I could remember the name of the movie. It was on the "On Demand" thingy on the cable box.

On edit:
Found it...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478073/

It was a good movie. It had my full undivided attention from beginning to end.

[immoderate]

15. Try playing a mermaid sometime.

[Jakes Progress]

17. Were you there? What have you done?

Kind of easy to snark on people who are actually doing things. And the last part of your post is just vile. What does that have to do with anything?

[frazzled]

21. Of all the snarky posts in this thread ...

why is mine attracting such attention? Because I berated her for overdramatizing what it means to get intentionally arrested for refusing to move?

But as to where I am: in another city, where I've been working all morning and now taking a lunch break as I wait for my conference call from New York. Sorry, I've got to earn a dime (and I do mean small change). And where were you?

[Jakes Progress]

55. If you know it for snark,

why post it. Shame.

I've been active in this fight for a while. But it doesn't matter where I am. I'm not the one belittling those who are doing something. If you need to take your important conference calls from New York to make a living, maybe you should be working harder and staying off the boards. Maybe you would be making more if you did more time working and less time playing on the boards.

[CreekDog]

112. Cause it sounds like you're criticizing her even though you did less --well you didn't do anything

:shrug:

don't blame us.

[Enthusiast]

116. ...

:thumbsdown:

[Downtown Hound]

80. What the fuck do you want her to say?

"I'm doing this but it's not a real big deal and I don't want to sound to dramatic because what I'm doing is rather small and really insignificant?"

Yeah, that'll really get people riled up and ready to support the cause.

[Lucinda]

84. She walks the walk. She is very much a real activist. n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

97. {{{{{face palm}}}}}

No, the only drama is in your comment. She at least showed up.

Acting and personal belief systems as a human being are mutually exclusive.

[frazzled]

98. {face palm} back at ya

As I suggested in my original post, I have no issue with the cause, with her protesting, or with her getting herself arrested.

I do have a problem with someone saying they are "sacrificing their freedom." She did not sacrifice more than 15 minutes of freedom, and it's an insult to people all over the world (say, people in Libya or Syria, or, as I mentioned, people like the Freedom Riders in 1961 Mississippi) who have truly put their freedom and even lives on the line for causes.

What great sacrifice of freedom did she make?

The consequences of today's collar proved pretty minimal: Hannah was not officially booked on charges and was released from custody after paying a $100 fine.

Read more: http://www.eonline.com/news/name_cause_daryl_hannah_busted_white/260976#ixzz1WZshGGaj

Now, be honest: did this woman sacrifice her freedom? No, she did not, and it was an overly dramatic thing to say, which does not help the credibility of this cause. I'm pretty surprised my minor comment about hyperbole should cause such a storm. I'm right about her statement, and I'm sticking with it.

Deal with it.

[Itchinjim]

12. Daryl who?

[closeupready]

16. Daryl Reagan. Er, no - Daryl Schwarzenegger. Er, wait!

Give me a sec...

18. Boy. What a joker. What a card. Now

do you actually have an opinion about the pipeline? Do you actually have any reason to pipe up and throw in your childish japes?

What is the point?

137. Wow almost looks like

He's taking her out for a date. He wishes!

[Lorien]

102. Yes, I know. Most 12 year olds haven't heard of her

but she's a respected actress and LIBERAL activist.

[closeupready]

19. It makes me angry that our side diminishes her activism IN FAVOR OF 'our' issues

when disgusting pukelicans enthusiastically embrace both successful and failed Hollywood personalities such as Ronald Reagan, Ayn Rand, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Clint Eastwood.

I guess that means we hate ourselves, and Republicans don't. At least, some of us hate ourselves.

[Harmony Blue]

38. For some reason I am seeing a lot less empathy on DU

for the well being of others and those who strive to improve the conditions of others. Thank you Daryl Hannah for standing up for what you believe in, but for the sake of the people that will be effected.

[closeupready]

39. Is it the popularity of shows like South Park, Jackass and that sort of drivel?

That makes it seem like coarseness, 24/7, is avant-garde? I mean, I agree with you, and I don't understand why it's so difficult to just be a traditional liberal these days.

[BobbyBoring]

41. It's not just DU

It's the whole fucking country~

[Altoid_Cyclist]

46. +1 That's one of the best responses that I've seen lately.

There used to be a greater commitment to the environment here. Even if Ms. Hannah's participation doesn't change anything, at least she's trying.

[freedom fighter jh]

56. Infiltration? nt

[Lorien]

103. Well said! nt

[No Elephants]

128. And here I thought the environment was one of "our" issues.

So, what are "our" issues now? Tax cuts for job creators, deep sea drilling and transcontinental pipelines?

Fanfrickintastic!

Thank God McCain/Palin didn't win.

25. She has always been a strong environmentalist.

Good for her.

[cascadiance]

92. Yep! Check out the many episodes of the "Sierra Club Chronicles"...

Where she hosted this series earlier for Brave New Films.

She wasn't just a hired spokesmodel for his series. She apparently still lives her beliefs shown in these episodes...

Thanks to those actually doing things.

And yes, I am chastising myself here.

[treestar]

34. How are they "actually doing things?"

What does marching around the WH do?

[The Wielding Truth]

37. Get us talking...it brings the issue to light! Daryl Hanna is brave and

true in preserving our planet!In my opinion she has been excellent in choosing and playing parts which take us into gentle strange fantasies and heart felt realisms.

I'm a fan. Now even more so.

[kenfrequed]

50. Sure

Why protest or demonstrate about anything. What are your solutions? What do you think would be an effective tactic? How would you stop one of the most environmentally catastrophic pipelines in US history?

[Pholus]

51. I can imagine that there is ONE answer that must occurred to you immediately.

Now if that were NOT the only stimulus that got reactions, perhaps we'd be able to work on issues instead of mere personalities.

[Divernan]

54. You just rag on her cause you support Obama & she opposes his action re the pipeline.

What does posting on the internet in support of Obama do? You must think it accomplishes something or you wouldn't do it.

Well Darryl Hanna gets more publicity to draw attention to the pipeline by her demonstration than you do with your posts here.

And of course, you respect DU enough to state your position on the pipeline, don't you? Be brave! Speak from the heart! Tell us whether you support this pipeline or not. Do you have your own opinion on this?

[Jakes Progress]

57. Of course it is about Obama love.

The snarkers have no principles. They don't even know what the pipeline is. They don't care. All they know is that she was protesting something about the administration so she is fair game for their juvenile crap.

[Divernan]

72. I've seen other females with similar total infatuation w/ a man.

They wasted years of their lives totally obsessed with some guy - trying to think of any little thing they could do which would please him. Losing all perspective, all touch with reality, all self-respect. That's what his true believers here remind me of.

Ya know, like Obama is secretly following their adoring posts on some political blog and One Glorious Day, he will call them - out of the blue - and say, Oh, my dear (fill in the name of infatuated supporter), your snark has been the inspiration which has kept me going. Please come and work for me right here in the White House!

[Jamastiene]

79. Nailed it.

I could not have described it better.

[Lorien]

99. Hmmm...suddenly it's clear why that company

that sold "natural non-toxic sex toys" advertised for so long on this site. :P

(I know, I know."Ewwww")!

[libmom74]

106. LOL

I woke my poor dog up laughing!

[girl gone mad]

63. Don't know which "ignored" you're talking to,

but if they made it on my list, they're the worst of the worst that DU has to offer, so don't bother trying to converse rationally or logically.

[Lorien]

100. Yours too huh? nt

[The Doctor.]

93. Yes, I've never seen anyone so viciously rag on anyone like Treestar just did!

By saying, ummm... whatever that was.

:shrug:


Personally, I'm impressed with her. She likely knows something I don't about the pipeline plan. Just by that alone, I'm betting there's something not right about it... or downright evil. It's something I'll have to look into, and I'm glad that I've seen about her and the other fellow (NASA scientist) which brought my attention to it.

Still, I'm always amazed at how people are so willing to assign more meaning to what someone says than what they actually said. Rag on her?

[Divernan]

119. I used the term "rag", i.e,. to ridicule. YOU were the one who used term "viciously"

"rag" means to insult, complain about, or ridicule.

I think demonstrating in front of the White House is the gold star of protests.
Treestar ridicules it as meaningless, i.e., not doing anything.

Go back to the Tardis, Doctor, and consult your dictionary.

[defendandprotect]

108. +1 --

[RetroLounge]

64. Oh, look, the Obama Brigade is right on time

Did she make your little hero look bad?

[plumbob]

69. Well, it lets someone know that this pipeline is considered to be a total

disaster by SOMEBODY, instead of the bobbleheads all nodding, "Good job, good job, hydrocarbons good, good, profits, better better."

Other than that, it does nothing. Much more effective for me to be on here typing (and you, too!)

[spooked911]

70. seriously? She got attention to the issue. Good for her. Awesome.

This is an incredibly important issue.

[Doremus]

82. How does it not do something?

Why do you minimize the importance of protesting?
What is your preferred method of drawing the public's attention to government missteps?

33. Exactly. n/t

[onpatrol98]

35. And, honestly

They lock up people everyday for foolishness. Because she's an actress others will hear about her cause. It makes a difference. She's using her status...whatever it may be to support a worthwhile cause. If they locked me up, the world wouldn't hear about it or care. You have to use whatever resources you have.

52. Daryl is doing good things.

It is sad that her activism is bringing out the worst frat-boy side of DU. Sneering and snarking from little boy-men who snicker when someone says fart. It is the dimmer side of having a celebrity president. The party has added to it's side a host of fan-based, personality-chasing, juvenile star gawkers. It shows up in those who support a person and not a principle.

Obama has his star power. It is a shame that with that come the drooling sexism and snarky comments from the newbies that will leave when a new shiny thing appears.

Good for Daryl. Shame on the snarkers.

[dana_b]

59. agreed. She also protested for the south central farmers in L.A.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/13297274/ns/today-entertainment/t/daryl-hannah-arrested-after-garden-protest/

She cares about people and the environment AND she does something about it. Why the hell would we bash that?? I like her even more now.

[Jakes Progress]

155. Nailed it in one.

These attack the good guy tactics are required because there is no defense for his actions. So they must change the subject. It's really pathetic what so many of the party have become - enablers without principle.

71. Obama=snark

First off, snark is not the province of little "boy-men" I remember when Erica Jong said Matt Taibbi wanted to screw his mother because he would not vote Clinton, as well as the crassness of Roseanne Barr. Also, I remember when people kept calling Michelle a "cocktail waitress" on Hillary is 44.com. This is not about sexism, it is about the fact the a whole nation tends to beat up on any celebrity, because that is one of the few things that people feel good about, it is the reverse end of aristocracy worship. At least we are not like the Guardian UK, whose "comment" section takes snark to levells that make us Yanks look rather tame. It was around a long time before Obama, and will be here a long time after he leaves. The sad part is, every politician has to have the instincts of a celebrity to be in power now.

[No Elephants]

133. The term "boy men" means a very specific kind of male, not all males.

[No Elephants]

134. Jeebus.

The term "boy men" means a very specific kind of male, not all males.

Women got accused on this thread of backing Obama only because they are in love with him. I have issues with Obama, but, as a women, I wasn't thrilled with that implication.

I think that's a lot worse than saying "boy men snark."

67. She Rocks

Really puts herself on the line for what she believes in. During the L.A. farm protests, she lived on a small platform in a tree for days at a time. Nothing but respect for her.

[Divernan]

74. Daryl Hannah walks the walk - very impressive creds as environmentalist.

From Wikipedia

Hannah, an active environmentalist, has her own weekly video blog called DHLoveLife<11> on sustainable solutions. She is often the sound recordist, camera person and on-screen host for the blog.<12> Her home runs on solar power and is built with green materials. She drives a car that runs on biodiesel.<13> In late 2006, she volunteered to act as a judge for Treehugger.com's<14> "Convenient Truths" contest.<15> On December 4, 2008, Hannah joined Sea Shepherd's crew aboard the MV Steve Irwin, as part of Operation Musashi.<16>

On June 13, 2006, Hannah was arrested, along with actor, Taran Noah Smith, for her involvement with over 350 farmers, their families and supporters, confronting authorities trying to bulldoze the nation's largest urban farm in South Central Los Angeles. She chained herself to a walnut tree at the South Central Farm for three weeks to protest the farmers' eviction by the property's new owner. The farm had been established in the wake of the 1992 LA riots to allow people in the city to grow food for themselves. However, the land's new owner, who had paid $5 million for it, sought to evict the farmers to build a warehouse. He had asked for $16 million to sell it but turned down the offer when the activists raised that amount. Hannah was interviewed via cell phone shortly before she was arrested, along with 44 other protesters, and said that she and the others are doing the "morally right thing".<17> She spent some time in jail.<18>

Hannah has also worked to help end sexual slavery and has been traveling around the world to make a documentary.<19>

Hannah was among 31 people arrested on June 23, 2009, in a protest against mountaintop removal in southern West Virginia, part of a wider campaign to stop the practice in the region. The protesters, who also included NASA climate scientist James E. Hansen, were charged with obstructing officers and impeding traffic after they sat in the middle of State Route 3 outside Massey Energy's Goals Coal preparation plant on Tuesday, the The Charleston Gazette reported.<20> In a Democracy Now! phone interview on June 24, 2009, Hannah spoke briefly on why she went to West Virginia and risked arrest.<21>

just ripped her to shreds. It was nasty. Looks at that NBC page. They are not even trying to be a new organization any more. It has links to celebrity mug shot and "Pro Athletes' Wives& Girlfriends: U.S." in swim suits. :puke:

135. Something else corporate media and the RW have in common.

Ripping a leftie activist celebrity like Hannah to shreds.

What a proud moment for Democrats.

76. People pick on Daryl Hannah

but I've always liked her. I never knew why, but I have a really good reason to like her now. :applause:

86. Why do you hate Omama?

He's done so much in so little time... Give him time and he'll do much much more things of the same kind.

105. That's why his Presidency is turning out to be more destructive than that of

many repugs; he has the power to turn "Democrats" into anti-environmental planet killing DINOS who parrot GOP talking points and embrace their positions on the issues.

138. Senator Bill Bradley's book said Democrats seek out and focus

on a charismatic personality, while Republicans build their party from the base up, with a lot of organizations, and focus less on who runs for President.

I'm not sure what to make of Bradley, but I take his point. And I think Obama, who came out of relative obscurity, and slender experience, to win the Presidency, is a perfect example of what Bradley warned about. (Bradley did endorse Obama, though).

118. "A lot of people call Nixon a crook. Obama calls him an amateur."

Good link!

I think Obama may get re-elected. God knows he's in line to get more corporate funding than the potential GOP candidates. If Obama gets a second term, I agree with you, Shining Jack, that we will see much more of the same kind of sellout - more and bigger wars, more extreme Patriot Act destruction of constitutional rights, worse gutting of the social safety nets, less regulation of fracking, mountain top removal, and other environmentally destructive corporate endeavors.

If Obama is defeated, at least our Democratic party can start purging itself of the 3rd way, mounting an opposition to the GOP and rebuilding support for traditional Democratic programs and values.

94. Many tell me recently I now look like Peter Gallagher when watching him in the O.C....

Gives me a new appreciation to watch that old film he was also in today... Lucky guy! :) Yes she was and is!...

85. Read this earlier in the day

Then, on the drive home, I decide to see what the reich wing is up to, and there's Darryl Hannah on Hannity's radio show! (Yes, I sometimes listen to the dark side of the force, mostly to hear them wail, but occasionally to see what they're up to.)

Of course, I had to listen. She was making her points, but Hannity was doing his best to try to make her look like a fool. Not sure what she thought she was doing by talking to his audience in the first place.

[Harmony Blue]

91. It takes a lot of courage to do what she did

but if you are able to answer tough questions, it only ends up reinforcing your beliefs. That is why she does it, and the chance to reach out and changes even one person's mind.

104. Preaching to the choir only gets you so far

though judging by the repug type responses here maybe preaching to the Third Wayers is necessary too.

139. Because some of her fans may be among them and she may persuade someone?

Pastors may find it easy, even fun, to preach to the choir, but they don't win many new converts if their choir members are the only ones to whom they preach.

101. She's awesome. And I'm glad that she's bringing attention to this

very important issue! :applause:

107. Good for Daryl Hannah -- we have to stop burning fossil fuels ... NOW!!

[AngryAmish]

120. Would she be doing this if the President was not a black man?

[RebelOne]

144. I am sure she would. I don't think color has anything to do with it. n/t

132. Brava to Ms. Hannah!

You got repugs and some dinos who want total deregulation. We've got people in NOLA who have lost their livelihoods, families that are monetarily devastated from the BP oil spill and an ongoing environmental nightmare in the gulf. If the media doesn't report it, does it still exist?

One thing the corporate MSM won't dwell on is the environmental impact of other countries in regard to the global oil fat cats, like in Nigeria. If this deal goes through, with the attitude that the oil industry can do no wrong, we are as fekked as Nigeria.

136. Thank you Daryl and the other protestors --

I am thankful there are those who remember what standing up for the planet means. :applause: I am there in spirit with you, I wish it could be in person.

140. Good for her.

156. I was flipping the dial and heard Michael Weiner "Savage"

say that Daryl Hannah looks like a man.

I simply can't believe that anybody would pay piece-of-human garbage Weiner to spew his bile on the airwaves.

[reggie the dog]

164. they arrest people for peaceful protest in front of the house of

fearless leader??? due to the patriot act right??? i can see that, a true patriot would never question fearless leader after all
