What did Sally Field say to get her speech censored?

I don't think most people reacted to her speech the way she would have liked them to. I don't mind that she has political opinions, everyone should have opinions and she can certainly share them in interviews, books, magazine articles, run her own website if she wants to. I don't even care if she espouses them on television but she wasn't getting an award for her political opinions, therefore, it didn't belong there. Sometimes I think Sally Field says outrageous things or swears because everyone still sees her as "cute" as she was in Gidget and The Flying Nun. I do have respect for her as an actress but I don't think the venue was appropriate for her to use as an outlet for her views on anything but the award she was accepting.

Here is a link to the uncensored video of her acceptance speech (with transcript) it was not censored in Canada. http://thedailyreel.com/spotlight/tv/archive/2007/09/17/sally-fields-emmy-acceptance-speech-censored

It was a big bunch of anti-war stuff. Maybe some want to hear it, but to me it's crap. Besides, who can take Gidget seriously?

I don't know if it was a political statement ...she said 'no wars'. I think this referred to all wars - past, present and future. And I would think that by saying this it also means that the agressions and causes of the wars would not occur too. Therefore there would be no wars - there were be no Hitlers, Mussolinis, Sadams. No Idi Amin of Uganda, Ethiopia's Mengistu Haile Mariam and the former leader of Chad, Hissene Habre. No Castro, No Nicolae Ceausescu.

I did not see it but based on what I am reading here....I hate to see God's name taken in vain.

Ah--I happened to find it ....I didn't watch the Emmy's either, but you peaked my curiosity here...her speech was cut off but it was ..."Field, who won the prize for best lead actress for her portrayal of matriarch Nora Walker on the ABC series, "Brothers and Sisters," was bleeped by the producers as she began to say, if the mothers ruled the war, there would be no god-d**ned wars in the first place..." You can see the article here http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7008547649

As far as I can tell, the word "godd--ed" got bleeped. But I guess it depends on where you were watching it. The complete state was that "If mothers ruled the world there would be no gd'd wars!" She plays a mother on "Brothers & Sisters" and was saying a small tribute to mothers. She says she had no agenda at all. But, she is right.

She used profanity and it was censored not for the political comments but for the bad words she used.

I don't care that she used a "bad word". I bet if my kids were watching they wouldn't have even noticed it. THere are many other very bad words out there. As for her opinion about the war, I think it was the wrong place for it. People can get sick of hearing about politics and just want an escape now and then. Also I don't think she should speak for all mothers out there. (I'm a mom) There are moms, daughters, aunts, girlfriends fighting wars too.
