That's all you can do, isn't it? Attack Woods for telling the truth. After all, IT IS WELL ESTABLISHED FACT that if you reveal that you have conservative politics, you get blacklisted by the liberals that run the place.

How about: Liberals lie about conservatives and promote lies which feed their prejudices.

I attacked him? News to me.

Anyway, he's full of it because he has worked in liberal Hollywood, on a liberal tv show, as I've mentioned now three times.

LOL, awesome Wiki page. Awesome in that it perfectly illustrates why Wiki should not be used as a reference.

Well, actors are regular people with opinions, like anybody else, and they have a right to voice them as they choose. But you're right, it can come at a cost. As long as they're willing to take that risk, they are free to say whatever they want. And I agree, Gibson's tirade was much more damaging. I would honestly be surprised if what Woods tweeted would actually lose him much work in Hollywood. I think age and mediocrity are bigger problems for him.

What's the difference?

Gibson demonstrated prejudice in his case.

In Wood's case, YOU demonstrate prejudice.
The poster you quoted did NOT say he should suffer harm. He said basically ~ speak your mind and see what happens. That's all you (anyone) can do.

It works the same way at my office. Yes, I certainly CAN speak my mind and voice my opinion but, too often, and I'm not longer the 'favorite' employee.

It's LIFE. We don't have to like it - but there it is.

Like all conservatives/wingnuts/Teabaggers, this man suffers from a persecution complex.
