Farah of WorldNutDaily suggests a blacklist of people who are Anti-Bush

[ck4829]

I am infuriated about this, that creep Farah was a key player in trying to kick Clinton out of office. The hypocrisy sickens and irritates me to no end.

"Let the blacklisting begin. Avoid these enemies of the people. Don't put another penny in their pockets:

Martin "George W. Bush is a moron" Sheen

Alec "Will leave the country if Bush is elected" Baldwin

Jessica "I despise him " Lange

Sean " seems to be willing to sacrifice the children of the world" Penn

Susan "We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States" Sarandon

Ed "We've got this guy in the White House who thinks he's a man" Harris

Woody "This is a racist and imperialist war" Harrelson

John "The war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush administration" Cusak

Mike "Our leaders in Washington are out of step with millions of Americans. Inspections work. War won't" Farrell

Robert "This recent government in America I just find disgusting" Altman

George "Bush is a warmonger who wants to invade Iraq" Clooney

Barbra "How could such a destructive man be so popular with the American people?" Streisand

Danny "this administration of liars and murderers" Glover

Sheryl "I think war is based in greed" Crow

Michael "liar, liar pants on fire" Moore

Harry "Colin Powell is an Uncle Tom" Belafonte

Tim "We have seen our democracy compromised by fear and hatred" Robbins

Kevin "If we did what is talking about doing, we'd go down a road from which we would never recover" Spacey (Kevin Very Spacey)

Julia "The man's embarrassing. He's not my president and he never will be either" Roberts

Heath "It is a fight for oil and screw it" Ledger

Dustin "I believe the administration has taken the events of 9-11 and has manipulated the grief of the country" Hoffman

Richard "Bush's plans for war are a bizarre bad dream" Gere

Spike "the German and French governments should be commended" Lee

Robert "I am afraid of Bush" Redford

Johnny "America is like a stupid puppy" Depp

Oliver "Commandante" Stone

Are there more? Sure. I could fill a book."

To the leader of WorldNutDaily: Free Speech works both ways, and if a person says they are afraid of Bush or calls him a liar, that does not automatically equal treason.

The only thing that is treason here is the idea that Farah has, which in reality he wants to silence anybody who is different from him and the rest of the RW.

[liberalitch]

1. I used to like robert duval....

but now I can't enjoy his work.... too bad, great actor

[Prodemsouth]

7. Robert Duval.. I watched Network last night .. Is he another Ron Silver?

One of those that wants us to be constantly at odds with Muslims because Israel is in that position.

[liberalitch]

13. I am not sure on what he bases his conservatism...

And being a conservative doesn't get you on my poo-poo list but supporting bush does
I know plenty of real conservatives who voted in all of the races and just didn't cast a vote for president... my brother for example

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. I don't see where

Robert Duvall is mentioned

???

[Ruffhowse]

47. Duval is a Fundie. Saw him on the TBN network the other night, being

interviewed. Said all the typical stuff, enough so you could tell he drank the Kool-Aid. Sad, I used to like him as an actor, but my disgust with Fundies will prevent that from now on.

[searchingforlight]

2. Thanks for the list of people to support!

We do similar things here though. Truth is most people will sell out if they want to do something bad enough or if it stands to benefit them.

[Prodemsouth]

3. Jeeze, Consider the source what do expect them to say .. a commentary

from Jerry Falwell.

[punpirate]

4. Was that an accurate quote?

"... enemies of the people?"

Amazing.

[Lorien]

40. By his logic, he and his readers are "enemies of the people"

too; most of them spoke against the last legitimately elected President of the United States,; Bill Clinton.

[noamnety]

5. McCarthyism lives!

Those guys must really miss the cold war.

[wyldwolf]

6. you forgot one... not a real important one.. but still

Wyld "Bush's brain is slower than a herd of turtles in peanutbutter" Wolf.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. Only artists? Seems they have a thing with movie and music people.

I don't see them urging people, say, not to buy at Costco because it's "blue". Could they be... AFRAID of big corporations?

CHICKEN!

[AzDar]

9. This would be a badge of honor to most folks! I hate his FU**ING guts,too

blacklist me, blacklist me!!!!

[rooboy]

10. Watch the fortunes of these "blacklisted" people rise in the next year. nt

[KG]

11. i'll bet the none of the celebs on the list even know who this farah idiot

is, nor even care. ha ha!

[bluestateguy]

12. Actually I'm glad he published the list

Now I know whose movies I SHOULD watch and buy.

[bowens43]

14. How can we get on the list?

[bluestateguy]

15. Let's see

He also calls for basically going back to the Hays code, giving churches (only Christian churches, mind you) a veto over movies and then closes by saying "Stand up for America".

That was George Wallace's slogan.

[Cooley Hurd]

16. The Will Hays code...

That resulted in a blacklist, as well:



Jeebus, our world just gets weirder and weirder.

[NYCGirl]

25. Not to mention this fellow, who was hounded, blacklisted, and run out of

the US.



Mr Chaplin is still a British citizen, despite living in America for almost 40 years, and has no automatic right to re-enter the country.

Under US law, grounds for denying a foreigner admission include "moral turpitude" and "political affiliations".

Charlie Chaplin has been under severe pressure in the US over accusations from Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee that he is associated with left-wing causes.

Mr Chaplin has been on the FBI's Security Index since 1948, and he was one of over 300 people blacklisted by Hollywood film studios and unable to work after he refused to cooperate when he appeared before the Committee.

[cornermouse]

17. They miss Joe McCarthy and want to bring him back.

[Bronco69]

18. He forgot someone...

Bronco "I wouldn't give that f**ker the sweat off of my left nut" 69. :-)

[mother earth]

19. Anybody got a list of entertrainers that we should boycott?

Yeah, Ron Silver, Robert Duval, let's get our own list going and boycott those movies & works. The door swings both ways. Its unbelievable a new era of McCarthyism, yes indeed.

[SOteric]

20. Heh. They'll end up blacklisting half the country.

It would so hamper them financially to blacklist every anti-Bush American that they'd collapse the U.S. economy.

[htuttle]

35. It would be less work to create a list of people FOR Bush

[neebob]

21. How are average conservatative people sposed ta remember those names?

They're way too long. Plus those people sounds pretty likeable - to me, anyway.

[Joe Chi Minh]

22. What makes him think

they wouldn't have one?

[Misunderestimator]

23. Great compilation of quotes... I would expect this to backfire on them.

And LOL... who's left? They listed most of the best actors in the business.

[KayLaw]

24. Poor winner

It´s not enough for his guy to win, everyone has to like his guy for this character to be happy.

[Lefty48197]

26. Their boycott seems to be working:

Sheen, Baldwin, Penn, Sarandon, Harrelson, Cusak, Farrell, Clooney, Streisand, Glover, Crow, Moore, Belafonte, Robins, Spacey, Julia Roberts, Hoffman, Gere, Spike Lee, Redford, Depp, Stone...

Gosh, they've just about driven all of those people into the poor house with their boycott.

[OutsourceBush]

28. Farah is a Moonie front man...black list Moonies first!

[chefgirl]

29. Farah of WorldNutDaily suggests a blacklist of people who are Anti-Bush

HELL yeah!! Where do I sign up??

-chef-

[leesa]

30. As though this hadn't already happened years ago.

[Cheswick2.0]

31. Where do I sign up? I believe in LIHOP

Ches "I think bush let 9-11 happen to have a reason for war" Wick

[Contrary1]

32. Sign me up too!

Contrary "Bush couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it" 1

[Paranoid_Portlander]

33. I always thought Farah was a girl's name.

As in Farah Fawcett. Is Farah (the blacklister) his/her first name or last name? Is it a screen-name? I have no idea who he/she is.

[ck4829]

36. It's his last name. Full name is Joe Farah

[mtnester]

34. And so it begins...slowly, quietly

Funny, since the elections, I have not been polled by Zogby once. Wonder if that has anything to do with my signature being on the "wrong" petitions, or my deposition about recounts in Ohio where laws were broken.

Next time I fly, I imagine there will be a little "ssi" down on the bottom of my tickets...oh wait, they are already there. That explains the wand I get every time I fly....EVERY time.

[ragin_acadian]

38. are you serious?

what is this little ssi, did someone turn your name into homeland security or something?

christ, you got me paranoid. i haven't flown in six years, i'm tempted to get a ticket somewhere to find out if i have the same thing.

[mtnester]

42. I also saw it on a ticket

a lawyer I spoke with from New York that flew in to Ohio who was representing the Greens showed me his ticket, he had it too. He stated that others on the flight did not have it, and he was singled out for the wand and full pat down.

Now, I don't know for sure if it really means anything, but it made me freak enough, and could explain why I ALWAYS get pulled out for the airport grope, and my husband never does. We are flying in March and I will be looking for it.

On edit, it is very small letters on the bottom of the ticket.

[ragin_acadian]

45. is it specifically used to target activists or something?

[mtnester]

46. Wish I had a definitive answer for that

unfortunately, I do not. The lawyer for the Greens felt that was the case, however, he did state it was only speculation on his part, and he could not give a definitive answer either.

[Downtown Hound]

37. Well, that's not going to leave them with many movies to watch

Well, guys, better pull out those old copies of Rambo 3, (oh wait, he fought for the Taliban in that one) and John (draft dodger) Wayne flicks. That's about all you'll have left.

[CatholicEdHead]

39. Not going to work on economics

Movie studios are mostly owned by large media conglomrates. Many of these actors/actresses are very popular and will bring people to the movies.

It is not time for a Hollywood blacklist (as it stands right now), but it may happen sometime in the future.

[sonicx]

41. Do RWers ever go to movies?, cuz it seems that...

all the best actors are Democrats.

RW "Actors" like Chuck Norris, Van Damme, and Stallone are DOA. Ahnold is Governor. Who do they have left?

[Downtown Hound]

43. Ron Silver, hehehehehe

He had some supporting roles way back in the early 90's. A true mega star.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

44. "Farrah the Facsist"

[WillowTree]

48. Practically every day of the week...

....there are posts and threads on these boards advising of artists and businesses that support RW candidates and/or causes so that we will know to avoid them.

It comes as some sort of surprise that Conservative groups have lists of their own?

[Bridget Burke]

52. No, more like every few weeks....

Someone will post a link from some off-kilter site with a list of supposedly-Republican artists. Generally, the list is challenged by many of us; a few of the artists may be well-known partisans but many are guilty of nothing more than having been polite to a Republican within the last 20 years.

This list is amusing because these are successful artists. The right-wing stalwarts are generally pathetic has-beens.

[maxrandb]

49. Please Add

Max "this guy sucks" RandB to the list.

[matcom]

50. Matcom will GLADLY submit his name

in fact, put me down for two

[imenja]

51. Where do I sign up?

It sounds like an honor roll to me.

[LynnTheDem]

53. Farah's been reading far too much Hitler Techniques

Calling a president a liar NEVER equals treason.

Rightwingnuts don't have a bloody clue what treason actually means, Lynn the "stupid rightwingnut MFers" Dem.
