The Top 1000 Liberals in America
Actress Meryl Streep: “Even though we have the freest society, supposedly, I think many of us are afraid to speak up. And we vilify the people that do speak up. You’re told you’re not supporting the troops.”
Actor/director Robert Redford: “If you’re against us, you’re not patriotic.”
Streep: “So to me this film is about the difficulty of standing up and saying what you think. Standing up is very, very difficult....Americans have been anesthetized by good fortune.”
— From an interview with Time’s Richard Corliss about
Redford’s anti-war film, Lions for Lambs,
and posted on the magazine’s Web site November 2.

“Change is precipitated by outside events, big cataclysms
like 9/11 and Katrina, that cause the public to wipe the gunk out of its
eyes. One thing that really bothers me is when the media cedes its responsibility.
When the government said, ‘you can’t photograph coffins coming home from
Iraq,’ that was a clear abrogation of the right to a free press. And the
press rolled over. Look at how the German people have lived, for all these
years, with a legacy of ‘How could you let that happen?’ We might be living
with that kind of legacy in the next fifty years.”
— Lions for Lambs star Meryl Streep in an interview
with Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers
that appeared in the magazine’s November 15 issue.

"I just want to say that I don't think the two biggest problems in America are that too many people want to commit their lives to one another `til death do us part, and steroids and sports. I don't think those are our two biggest problems."
