Censorship Sucks!

9/17/2007 10:04 AM ET | Filed under: Awardz

The Emmy telecast bleeped part of Sally Field's acceptance speech for her best actress in a drama win.

What did she say?

"If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any god-damned wars in the first place."

Amen to that!

We saw it all in Canada! Thankfully! FOX are completely pro Bush and pro war and they chose to censor that comment because they don't want the American people to know the truth about your ILLEGAL war. Everyone has the right to stand up and give their views on this war…even celebs! Way to go, Sally! We just need more people like her.

You can't say Goddamned on TV. Everyone on TV who has ever said it has been bleeped since they invented the Bleeper. Sally Field, who is about as old as dirt knows this. This doesn't have anything to do with being anti-Bush or anti-war or Democrat or Republican. Goddamn. All of these "actors" know this and are told not to take their 30 seconds of global air time to air their opinons, push their latest record. It's an acceptance speech, not a commercial.

All anybody has to do is read these completely ignorant, illiterate and inarticulate comments to see why the USA is rated last in the world in education. God forbid any of you actually ever study world history, or read up on the current arguments on both sides about the Iraq war. Clue - BOTH sides in congress are against it now. Also, the Republicans were the ones against entering WWII. Not the liberals. The liberals wanted to fight Hitler. It took Pearl Harbor for the Republicans to want to enter the war. Look it up. It's true. Not that any of you are interested in facts. Make us proud, young uns!

Amen Angela! No, I'm sure she'll stay here and keep drawing her huge ass paycheck for doing NOTHING! But she will do her part by saying something protester-ish at a hugely extravagant award show where she is wearing a free dress even though she can afford to buy it, while our troops are over there protecting her arrogant ass for a paycheck that she would make in 5 minutes in hollywood.

Yep thats right…. I USED to like Sally Field. Are all you liberals forgetting what they did to us on 9/11? Holy crap…why don't we let them walk all over us, blow things up kill our innocent civilains and all they get is a slap on the hand. Bush has our troops over there to protect us! I am sure as soon as they bring the troops home they will try some stupid stunt again. I am for the war, I have family over there. Just remember if it wasnt for all the wars before this you wouldnt have your freedom of speech, nor your right to choose your own religion. Just think about that next time you talk negative about the war. I am so glad I am from a RED state! I love the great state of TEXAS!

as i understand it, as per the fcc, you can't say "god-damned" on television the same way you can't say "fuck", "motherfucker", "cockersucker", or any other of the lovely curse words.
maybe they cut her off because her speech took to "god-damned" long for her to mumble out….there's only so long they can play that bad elevator music over her talking before they have to cut her off completely!

Re: I USED to like Sally Field –

Ah, Texas where the divorce rate is much higher than in Blue States. Texas where the income taxes from New Yorkers help pay your welfare and food stamp programs. Liberals are angry about 9/11 too. Which is why we want to get BIN LADEN. The man allowed to run free in the hills of Pakistan by Bush for some reason nobody can figure out. Does anybody care about facts in Texas? Or do you just go through life making decisions based on pure emotion? That's why you're in Texas with a blue collar job and no college degree.

Lame to censor that but sally field is a retard. She has a friend who can't even handle taking a pill once a day. She just has to remember though that one of the muthers she is referring to voted for the war and has said repeatedly that she will not withdraw the troops. So as usual an empty sentiment from a hollywood gasbag.

We are dangerously close to fascism. There was nothing wrong with what she said – after all it’s her first amendment right.

For all of those who are bashing Sally Field – remember the Constitution? It’s what gives American’s their rights and what G.W. Bush called “a goddamned piece of paper.” You think he gives a shit about rights or walking the walk or other the jingo bullshit you right wingers are parroting?

Sally Field is such a moron. Even though I don't agree with the war that's going on, her comment was in poor taste. Maybe she needs to go and get a history lesson, how else would we have gotten our independence if there wasn't war??? She should really think before she speaks!!!

Everybody should shut up and realize though that she was censored because she took the lord's name in vain. I'm not going to be a hypocrit, cause it slips outta my mouth on occassion, but you can't say that on TV…PERIOD.

Wow. Polls show that only about 9% of the U.S. population still hasn't realized invading Iraq was a huge mistake and was probably illegal in the first place. Who would have thought all 9% of the ignorant hang out reading celebrity gossip — wait. This makes sense!!! They read this instead of the newspapers, so they don't know!!! Perez, maybe you should sneak in some links to real news, so your "conservative" viewers can catch up with the rest of the world on issues other than hair weaves.

I would like to thank you all for doing exactly what I wanted. It's exciting to see a peaceful, productive nation shatter into arguing factions that hate each other. And the way you have beggared yourselves fighting a war against people you don't understand for reasons you don't understand? Marvelous. I would like it even more if the "Conservatives" and the "Liberals" infidel pigs would start shooting each other. Would you mind, please? It is listed as step 4 on my master plan and it's about time you got around to it.

Jennifer–
The way citizens support the troops is by watchdogging the politicians to be sure they do not misuse our military. That is our job, in a democracy. And, in this case, the politicians have misused them. It is our duty to speak out, just as it is a soldier's duty to do his job.

Amanda Bynes Claims Arrest Reports Are "All Lies" - And Cops SLAPPED Her Lady Bits!

Looks like Amanda Bynes is NOT done telling it how she sees it on Twitter!

And this time, she's making some pretty SERIOUS allegations against the officers involved in her Thursday night arrest for drug possession, reckless endangerment, and tampering with evidence!

The troubled starlet took to her social networking page this afternoon to continue denying her legal drama this week, which involved her allegedly smoking pot in her apartment building's lobby and then throwing her bong out the window when police began searching her place, and now, she's asserted that one of the officers at the scene sexually harassed her by "slapping" her VAGINA!

She writes:
