Re: Elton John, Hollywood crybaby, attacks 'censorship' in US |

Elton John has said stars are scared to speak out against war in Iraq
because of "bullying tactics" used by the US government to hinder free
speech.
"There's an atmosphere of fear in America right now that is deadly.
Everyone is too career-conscious," he told New York magazine, Interview.
Oh dear! Sir Elton and his crybaby Hollywood friends discover that people
may take what they say seriously, and that what they say may actually hurt
their $$$careers$$$. Oh dear!
Sir Elton said performers could be "frightened by the current
administration's bullying tactics",
The singer likened the current "fear factor" to McCarthyism in the 1950s.
"There was a moment about a year ago when you couldn't say a word
about anything in this country for fear of your career being shot down
by people saying you are un-American," he told the magazine.

The singer said things were different in the 1960s.
"People like Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, The Beatles and Pete Seeger were
constantly writing and talking about what was going on.
Perhaps one of the differences is none of those people were attacking the
Democrat President who was in charge then? But now the leftist Hollywood
slime is attacking the President, since the current President is a
Republican. In other words, the Hollywood types have two different
standards - one they apply for Democrats (no personal attacks on the
President) and another for Republicans (personal attacks on the President),
which may explain why people are telling those phony Hollywood types to go
Phuc Themselves.
