To the liberals, blacklists and boycotts and all that are ok, as long as done in support of politically correct causes. If anything of that nature is done in support of a conservative cause, then we hear the wailing about blacklisting and censorship and all that.

That’s the ideological equivalent of the following statement:
“It’s not Anal if it’s In The Ass!”

Pretty simple for me. I won’t ever go to a movie again that either Black, Harris or Relly star in.

Actually, I’ve never seen any movie any of these people have made. Never will, either, after this!

I have no problem with them boycotting, I do it all the time, conservatives need to step up and support those who are being boycotted.

Couldn’t a Christian file a discrimination suit against the studios and production companies?

Shaiman claimed to the Associated Press that he regretted that it came to Eckern losing his job and said: "It's a tragedy for everyone involved. You'll certainly see that no one called for him to resign."

Did the harassment he received over his donation contribute to a hostile work environment? Christians need to push back on workplace discrimination.

The truth is Sen. Joseph McCarthy never publicly identified one single person as a security risk who didn’t prove to be an actual security risk. The truth is Joe McCarthy never pursued Communist-leaning screenwriters in Hollyweird. That was left to the House Un-American Affairs Committee (HUAC). Sen. McCarthy had much bigger fish to fry. The truth is that during the 1930s and 1940s our government was indeed infiltrated by Communists, comsymps, and fellow travelers who did pass along sensitive information to the Soviets. Sen. McCarthy was most concerned about spies in the highest levels of government particulary the State Department and the Defense Department. The Whittaker Chambers/Alger Hiss case was no witch hunt. It was one man’s word against another man’s word. One man was convicted of perjury and did time in the federal penitentiary. The other man was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As far as the Rosenbergs go, even their sons now concede that Julius Rosenberg headed a major Communist spy ring that passed atomic secrets to the Soviets. And of course, we now know that Harry Dexter White, a high ranking official in the Treasury Department was a Communist agent as well. So who were the real villians of this period? Richard Nixon, Whittaker Chambers, Joe McCarthy. Hardly. These men tried to shed light on the serious problem of Communist infiltration into our government. It was Hiss, White, the Rosenbergs, the Ware Spy Ring operating out of Washington D.C. who were the real villains of this period. Unfortunately the liberal/left has re-wriiten and twisted history and created their myths about about witch hunts. What a bunch of crap. The problem is most people believe it.

The truth is there never was a HUAC. It was called the House Committee on Un-American Activities and it was established in the 1930s.

You’re correct. Sorry I was typing fast. But you get my point?

Totally agree.

I watched a “documentary” edited from footage of the McCarthy hearings. The subject seemed to focus on an investigation of McCarthy, Cohen, and a guy in the military who “may” have received preferential treatment.

The whole thing was a circus designed to go after McCarthy, rather than the witchhunt that McCarthy was supposedly conducting. It was a communist produced film, sans commentary, that was made in the mid-1960s.

Deny it as they might, there WERE Communists in the United States (when pressed on the matter, they will say there was nothing wrong with being a Communist), and there were Communists working (knowingly or unknowingly) on behalf of the Soviet Union.

Democrats like Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy did far more to abuse their chairs while giving confirmation hearings to men like Clarence Thomas (Joe Biden outright lied about Thomas’ position on an activist role for the Supreme Court).

well I am fed up of trying to watch a programme or film only to see some sort of homo in it.

I have just turned 40 and have now been watching the older shows and westerns just because they don’t have all the homo crap in them.

we need to get our children more into making films, programmes, media, journalists, and teachers to take back the next generation as right now we are losing them to far left homo’s.

we need to get the word out and have a list of who donates money to homo’s, shops , actors, businesses etc.

all of us need to boycott them and make them realise that pandering to 3% of the population will not work nor will it put money into your pocket.

Once we do that and they start to see that we as the majority have the power then they’ll stop giving money and stop promoting the perverted homo agenda

>> as right now we are losing them to far left homo’s.
 
 
Right now?
 
Nixon called it correctly - over 30 years ago:
 

NIXON: ... CBS ... glorifying homosexuality.

EHRLICHMAN: A panel show?

H. R. HALDEMAN: No, it's a regular show. It's on every week. It's usually just done in the guy's home. It's usually just that guy, who's a hard hat.

NIXON: That's right; he's a hard hat.

EHRLICHMAN: He always looks like a slob.

NIXON: Looks like Jackie Gleason.

HALDEMAN: He has this hippie son-in-law, and usually the general trend is to downgrade him and upgrade the son-in-law--make the square hard hat out to be bad. But a few weeks ago, they had one in which the guy, the son-in-law, wrote a letter to you, President Nixon, to raise hell about something. And the guy said, "You will not write that letter from my home!" Then said, "I'm going to write President Nixon," took off all those sloppy clothes, shaved, and went to his desk and got ready to write his letter to President Nixon. And apparently it was a good episode.

EHRLICHMAN: What's it called?

NIXON: "Archie's Guys." Archie is sitting here with his hippie son-in-law, married to the screwball daughter. The son-in-law apparently goes both ways. This guy. He's obviously queer--wears an ascot--but not offensively so. Very clever. Uses nice language. Shows pictures of his parents. And so Arch goes down to the bar. Sees his best friend, who used to play professional football. Virile, strong, this and that. Then the fairy comes into the bar.

I don't mind the homosexuality. I understand it. Nevertheless, goddamn, I don't think you glorify it on public television, homosexuality, even more than you glorify whores. We all know we have weaknesses. But, goddammit, what do you think that does to kids? You know what happened to the Greeks! Homosexuality destroyed them. Sure, Aristotle was a homo. We all know that. So was Socrates.

EHRLICHMAN: But he never had the influence television had.

NIXON: You know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors were fags. Neither in a public way. You know what happened to the popes? They were layin' the nuns; that's been goin' on for years, centuries. But the Catholic Church went to hell three or four centuries ago. It was homosexual, and it had to be cleaned out. That's what's happened to Britain. It happened earlier to France.

Let's look at the strong societies. The Russians. Goddamn, they root 'em out. They don't let 'em around at all. I don't know what they do with them. Look at this country. You think the Russians allow dope? Homosexuality, dope, immorality, are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the Communists and left-wingers are clinging to one another. They're trying to destroy us. I know Moynihan will disagree with this, [Attorney General John] Mitchell will, and Garment will. But, goddamn, we have to stand up to this.

EHRLICHMAN: It's fatal liberality.

NIXON: Huh?

EHRLICHMAN: It's fatal liberality. And with its use on television, it has such leverage.

NIXON: You know what's happened [in northern California]?

EHRLICHMAN: San Francisco has just gone clear over.

NIXON: But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time--it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.

Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.

EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.

NIXON: Jesus Christ.

Boycott the MSM. That goes for the old product too. There are works in the public domain and there are books. Hollywood doesn’t care what channel your money comes from, so long as they get the money.

If you have cable/satellite/dish, you are paying for the channels you don’t watch as well as the channels you do watch.

You two are hitting all the hot buttons on the loyalty to this country by Joe McCarthy. Thank you for your input. I’m saving your comments for future use.

One addition, Robert Taylor, the famous movie star of the ‘40s, was in the service during WWII. He later gave speeches about being FORCED by his superiors in the service to do a movie which he considered communist.
