2003-12-01
Via Drudge - More people to boycott:
Top Hollywood activists and intellectuals
Bwahahahaha!
are planning to gather this week in Beverly Hills for an event billed as ’Hate Bush,’ the DRUDGE REPORT has learned! Laurie David [wife of SEINFELD creator Larry David] has sent out invites to the planned Tuesday evening meeting at the Hilton with the bold heading: ’Hate Bush 12/2 - Event’. The message reads:
"This is the most important meeting you can attend to prevent the advancement of the current extremist right wing agenda. Do not miss this meeting. This will be a high-level briefing to discuss the strategies... to affect what happens next November."
Usual suspects Political heavies Harold Ickes, Former Deputy White House Chief of Staff and Campaign Manager for the ¹96 Clinton/Gore re-elect, and Ellen Malcolm, Founder of Emily¹s List, a political action committee that elects pro-choice, Democratic women, will chair the gathering.

Names included on the "HATE BUSH" invite, obtained by DRUDGE, include:

Call me prejudiced, call me stereotyping, but if I go to court, my lawyer's not gonna be named "Skip." I prefer "Mr. Nussbaum," "Mr. Cohen," or somebody named "Slick."

That's a really long list of people I've never heard of.
Developing...
Notice anything missing on the list? How about popular stars? With current successes? What a group of bitter losers

#9  I just find it so amusing that the left, who have pushed for passage of 'hate crimes', who practically forcefully inject "peace at any price" would have an event openly labelled "HATE". It's also quite indicative of their shallow, petty lives that they would actually HATE a sitting American president, just because he's doing a good job, and is in the opposition party.

Maybe it's time to create two separate countries - the "red" and the "blue". Let's just wait until after the next election to determine which states are red and which are blue. I think there will be very few 'blue' states, but lots of 'blue' (I.E., dejected, sad, melancholy, and just plain old morose) voters after the first Tuesday in November, 2004.

#8  I, too, found very few familiar names. However, one title was intriguing: Russkies. From the IMDB's page for that movie:

It is during the Cold War and all Americans have a view of Russians as one thing: bad people. A group of American boys discovers a Russian sailor washed up on the coast of Florida and decide to befriend him, assuming that he is friendly and will bring them no danger and thus go against the ideas of their parents, as well as the government.

Of course.

Oh, and Miss Stephens? She is credited as "Nurse". Her IMDB listing is pretty pathetic, too. (She also appeared in a minor role in Hal Needham's 1979 masterpiece, Death Car on the Freeway.)

#7  The man's obviously a political genius.

#6  I thought Heather Thomas was pretty good looking in "Fall Guy". She now associates with environmental kooks, notably the NRDC.

#5  Right below the headline about the "Hollywood Hates Bush" gathering on the Drudge Report were three more Links:
-Stocks Jump; S&P 500 Hits 18-Month High
-Factories Hum, Construction Booms
-Manufacturers hit 20-year record pace
I found the juxtaposition amusing. Anyone else see the connection here? The Dims would rather see the country be in the toilet so they can regain POWER.

#4  I had no idea Karl Rove was this good.

#3  I'm guessing that DNC fundraising is not meeting targets. Just a hunch.

#2  The media would notice, but we wouldn't care. The only names of successes I recognized in there were 'SNL', 'G.I. Jane', and 'Got Milk'.

#1  Forgot to add: If there was a boycott of these asshats - would anyone notice?
