Actor Tim Robbins has a new play opening in Los Angeles. He says that “being lambasted as un-American” for his outspoken views on the Iraq war has been “tough to swallow. Despite his radical rep, he actually sees his penchant for democratically sanctioned dissent as every bit as all-American as his love of baseball. He says his moral compass has always guided him toward saying and doing what he thinks is right, to speaking the truth when he sees hypocrisy in the world, and he has trouble understanding why so many people take issue with the simple logic of his frankness.”
