Mia Farrow Compares Steven Spielberg to Nazi Propagandist

[Brian Damage]

After a manipulative article by Mia Farrow which castigated Steven Spielberg as being an agent of propaganda for the Chinese government in a similar way Leni Riefenstahl was when she depicted the Berlin Olympic Games in the 1936 film "Olympia," Spielberg is thinking about dropping his voluntary role.

Farrow irresponsibly asked in The Wall Street Journal (DJ), "Is Mr. Spielberg, who in 1994 founded the Shoah Foundation to record the testimony of survivors of the Holocaust, aware that China is bankrolling Darfur's genocide?"

"Does Mr. Spielberg really want to go down in history as the Leni Riefenstahl of the Beijing Games?"

In response, Spielberg is contemplating stepping down from was simply an upaid position as an artistic advisor to the Beijing Olympics' opening ceremonies.

A few days after the Wall Street Journal allowed the propaganda by Farrow to be written, Spielberg wrote an open letter to Chinese President Hu Jintao asking that he would put more pressure on the government in Khartoum to allow a U.N. peacekeeping force to be inserted into Darfur.

Spielberg representative Andy Spahn says Speilberg is waiting for a response from Chinese authorities before making a decision.

Farrow later said her "intention was never to hurt" Spielberg's feelings, but rather to "move things."

This goes far beyond hurting Spielberg's feelings, she's publically lied about the man and made assertions that are so outrageous and ignorant that she is inexcusable. Spielberg should have sued her rather than capitulate to her ignorant ranting.

A idea of comparing China with Hitler's Germany is the first irresponsible statement she made. To connect the Chinese olympics in the same way Reifenstahl portrayed the Berlin Olympic games is nutty at best. To say they're bankrolling the massacre in Darfur is borderline criminal on her part.

The kind of psychological tactics and lies that Farrow used on Spielberg were nothing less than evil. She obviously had handlers in this to perform this vicious attack upon him.

For Farrow to say that Spielberg will go down in history as a Leni Riefenstahl was about as irresponsible statement as I've ever heard coming out of the myriad of nutty statements Hollywood personalities make. Where are Spielberg's friends now? Why aren't that striking back at the screwball comments of Farrow?

UNICEF, for whom Farrow is the Goodwill Ambassador, should ask her to step down and stop using the platform to viciously lie and attack people in an attempt to manipulate and destroy them.

Her comment that she wants to "move things," shows she's come to the fanatical stage where she'll do anything to aid her chosen cause, no matter what it costs.

This wacky nut needs to be taken out of the public arena. It looks like she's just trying to get her career started up again.

She should concern herself more with the fact that her child married her own father. She has made claims that Woody Allen molested their other children. Hey Mia, worry abt you and your kids ok?

When you have to invoke Godwin's Law, chances are your argument has no merit.

Will Hollywood Boycott the Olympics?

(Studio Briefing) Despite continued international efforts to keep the Olympic Games out of politics, Steven Spielberg has withdrawn as artistic adviser for the Beijing Olympics, citing China's failure to use its economic clout to force a resolution of the crisis in Darfur. "Sudan's government bears the bulk of the responsibility for these ongoing crimes, but the international community, and particularly China, should be doing more to end the continuing suffering there," Spielberg said in his statement. China provides nearly all of Sudan's oil, thereby effectively "underwriting genocide," according to activists. Spielberg's decision could encourage other U.S. entertainers to boycott Olympics productions. In an interview with today's (Wednesday) New York Times actor Don Cheadle, who heads the Darfur activist group Not on Our Watch, commented that if actions like Spielberg's, "catch fire, and other people think of boycotting, or refraining, the cumulative effect could be something that potentially could change the calculation of [the Chinese] government."

[88survivor]

Oh, God, Mia...just what I need. Another Hollywood bigmouth that use to be married to a Jewish loser who is now married to a Asian girl that is your adoptive daughter, which so stomach turning it makes me puke. Blech...who could sleep with that thing?

Spielberg has the new Indiana Jones movie to plug in the next few months, so it's smart that he backed away from this whole mess.

Mia, you really should consider getting back together with Woody.
You two wackjobs belong together.
