Here’s an article discussing starts protesting the war. What I like about it is that a few celebrities mention that’s there’s a backlash against them publicly expressing their views. Here’s how they explain the phenomenon:

“‘There's already a backlash,’ Farrell said, dismissing it as an ‘organized attempt by the right wing.’

Garofalo said a backlash against antiwar celebrities is a creation of the media, which purposely focuses its attention on Hollywood activists in order to marginalize the peace movement.”

They just can’t seem to imagine that perhaps they’re catching flak because people either disagree with them or simply don’t want to listen to their opinions. No, no, it can’t possibly be that… there’s a conspiracy afoot.
