I wonder if the glorious crew of America’s best took the Iranian’s a 25 disc set of DVD’s as a peace offering? Hopefully they had the amazing movies “Milk”, and “Brokeback Mountian” in the collection to ensure that the highly tolerant Iranian society could enjoy them.

She should stay there…and she should convince many, many of her empty headed ultra-liberal so called celebrity friends to move there with her.

She looks good covered up!

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS EMPTY HEADED LIBERAL HOLLYWOOD WORSHIPPERS

A prime example of the liberal elite that put Obama in power.

Time to start the revolt. Time to take our country back.

Eileen…you speak for millions of us!

Might we expect then that Ms Benning will be staying in Iran so she daily can enjoy all the rights, freedoms and privileges of this wonderfully democratic and modernistic society?

I mean really, Ms Benning. Why would you want to return to a wreteched place like the US when you could stay in a country such as Iran. A country, indeed, which time and again has demonstrated it could not care less about the human rights of its citizens, its neighbors and in particular — women.

Anette Bening looks like a moron with the head scarf.
Eileen: I with you on that one.

Career on the backslide? Having trouble landing work in Hollywood? Well now you too can refresh that worn out career! Just contact any one of your best liberal hollywood elites and have them set up a meeting with an enemy of our state! Re-live all that past runway glory, you know, back when you used to be somebody! Call now! Menta Li Il and INeedAJihad are waiting on your call!

Get a life people! Annette didn’t say that she endorsed the Iranian regime or that she hated the US and wanted to live in Iran. She said that she had a “wonderful” trip. Maybe she did. There is great history to see in Iran, apparently the food is fantastic, and most of the people are friendly (unlike some of the big cities here). Visiting a country doesn’t mean that you agree with their policies.

GiveMeLiberty   March 9th, 2009 - 11:00 am

I’m in total agreement with Eileen!

hope her return visit happens while Israel is wiping Iran off the map and her hubby is with her, along with Tim,Susan,Babs and Sean.

Of course SHE would

Check my link to see what Iran really does to folks who make “immoral” movies. Why, they arrest and kill them! I’m so happy Annette had a wonderful time! IDIOT!

Airwick…..Airhead.

Airwick   March 10th, 2009 - 8:05 am

Billy Bob,
Your name speaks for itself.

Now go slop the hogs.

I’m curious if Ms Bening discussed the Iranian judicial policy of imprisoning, hanging, or stoning to death women and teenage girls who have been sexually assaulted or gang-raped? I mean, given her political awareness, she must have discussed the current state of women’s rights with those paragons of tolerance, Iran’s Mullas, right? No? Well maybe on her next visit.
After all, that’s what makes the countries these celebrities champion like Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela so much better than the United States. Their tolerance and dedication to human rights and political freedoms. Right?

Airwick   March 10th, 2009 - 4:13 pm

Sarge,
She never championed Iran. She simply said that she visited and had a wonderful time. Maybe she did.

Annette Bening   March 11th, 2009 - 12:06 am

You, along with your family and Hollywood airheads should move there and stay there…then in a couple of months let us know if you still think it is so wonderful to live there. By the way, you look better when you are all covered up!
