Richard Dreyfuss: Impeaching Bush Is 'Cause Worth Fighting for'
Why is this ONLY being reported by fascist sources???

(CNSNews.com) - Richard Dreyfuss, . . . told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that "there are causes worth fighting for," and one of those is the impeachment of President George W. Bush.

"There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose," Dreyfuss said during a speech at the National Press Club. "Unless you are willing to accept torture as part of a normal American political lexicon, unless you are willing to accept that leaving the Geneva Convention is fine and dandy, if you accept the expansion of wiretapping as business as usual, the only way to express this now is to embrace the difficult and perhaps embarrassing process of impeachment." See Video
. . .

As of noon today, the only sources for this story are Town Hall, NewsBusters, NewsMax, GOPUSA.com, and CNSNews.com (see Google search)

Flaming Left Wing Liberal?

Never liked?

He's always been like that.

Glad you figured it out though.

9. Saw him at a convention earlier this year.
He looks great. Much younger in person. I still was too shy to go up and talk to him because I've always adored him. Good-bye Girl and Mr. Holland's Opus were my two very favorites.

12. I've got chills! This is just what we need to hear more of.
Unfortunately we need to hear it from people in the govt. who can do something about it--and most of them are turning corporate these days.

14. Hooray for Dreyfuss!
Of course, this is being reported by the Reich wing news outlets because their commetator lackeys can then paint him as a whacked-out Hollywood loon.

Conveniently forgetting that Ahnuld is a superstar in that category.

16. The reason its only on rightwing sites...
Is because those sites have no desire to be seen as objective. Legitimate news sources don't run the story out of fear of being called out for liberal bias. The sites you mention need not worry over that.

21. Need to have him run against Feinstein!
Now that's someone who I think could really do the right thing by us here in California! With speeches like that he'd eat DiFi alive! One less DINO!
