Soros-Sponsored Group Enlists Hollywood in Anti-Bush Bid

(CNSNews.com) - A Washington-based political action committee -- subsidized by billionaire investor George Soros to the tune of $10 million -- is taking its anti-Bush campaign to Hollywood Tuesday night in what organizers are labeling "a mandatory meeting to change the leadership in America in 2004."

The invitation list for the event at the Beverly Hills Hilton reportedly includes actors such as Daniel Stern, who starred in the movie City Slickers and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played the role of Elaine on the sitcom Seinfeld . Numerous other Hollywood producers, creators and writers or their spouses have been invited, according to the Drudge Report Internet website.

Lorraine Voles, spokeswoman for the group America Coming Together (ACT), confirmed that the meeting was being held but denied the Drudge Report's assertion that the invitation was billed as a "Hate Bush" event.

"I don't take exception to what was in the report other than the way it was characterized," Voles said. "There is a meeting in L.A. with people who are interested in America Coming Together."

Voles rejected the widely held view that Hollywood disproportionately favors liberal Democrat politicians. "There are Republicans in Hollywood and there are Democrats in Hollywood," Voles said. She did confirm, however, that ACT is interested in the money belonging to the celebrities invited to Tuesday's event.

"Sure, that's one of the intents -- yes -- to get them to donate," Voles said.

Harold Ickes, the former Clinton administration deputy chief of staff and campaign manager for the Clinton-Gore 1996 re-election campaign, will chair Tuesday night's event, along with ACT's president, Ellen Malcolm, who is also the founder of the pro-abortion political group, Emily's List, according to the Drudge Report.

Soros, an investor who is about to release a new book in which he lays out his case for wanting to see Bush defeated in 2004, has said he is willing to contribute more money, if necessary, to ACT. He also has contributed $5 million to another anti-Bush political vehicle, MoveOn.org.

Voles said ACT believes "that right-wing Republicans control the Congress and the White House.

"They've seized power and are using their extremist agenda, and the government is no longer working for the people," Voles said. When pressed on whether she considered President Bush a right-wing extremist, Voles replied, "Sure," then backed off a bit.

"I believe his policies have been right-wing and extremist. I don't know him personally, so I feel silly kind of characterizing him personally."

Chuck DeFeo, spokesman for the Bush/Cheney 2004 re-election campaign, said he was not surprised to hear about Tuesday's planned meeting between ACT and Hollywood celebrities.

"It's not any secret that Hollywood interests have been involved in the Democrat Party - from Jane Fonda to Rob Reiner to Martin Sheen. Hollywood is very well vested in the liberal elite - the extreme left of our country - and it wouldn't surprise me for Hollywood to be connected with George Soros and his $15.5 million in soft money."

DeFeo defended Bush's record, pointing to the president's tax-relief plans, which he said were responsible for the "largest economic surge in 20 years," and to the recent congressional approval of Medicare reform.

"Congress, after ten years of debate -- after ten years -- we now have a modernized Medicare plan with a prescription drug [benefit] for America's seniors and the most needy. That is a remarkable accomplishment that is a direct result of President Bush's leadership," DeFeo said.

democrat intellectual is an oxymoron. Are they going to confer a degree on a blow up doll or something?

[MinuteGal]

It always galls me to see these pinko twerps referred to as "Hollywood's elite".

I prefer to refer to them as "Hollywood's effete".

"The sad thing is to see all of the Jewish folks on the invitee list. Do they have any clue what would happen to Israel if the demo/socialists were to be back in charge?"

It is a strange paradox, but Zionists are liberals. You have to wonder how this thinking has remained after those who ethnically cleansed them during WWII represent those same politics among today's politicians on the left.

If I were independently wealthy I would fly out and join you in your marvelous effort!

May God be with you, and may the Evil One be bound, so that the truth is clear to all!

"I believe his policies have been right-wing and extremist. I don't know him personally, so I feel silly kind of characterizing him personally."

Ms Voles, you don't just FEEL silly, you ARE silly.

George Soros is the Pied Piper for these un-patriotic, anti-Americans who will stupidly follow him - he uses them! for their leftist views and their lack of intellect starting with a strong knowledge of and love for their country. These people want to go back to what they considered the real good times enjoyed during the Clinton years at the expense of the Republic and its citizens. George Soros is the equivalent of the Hunt Brothers, he wants it all and will do so on the backs of these stupid people.

Today the country is alive with patriotism and the knowledge we have a strong, honest and God fearing leader who means and does what he says. These Socialists never had it so good yet they want to deep-six all that for the immoral and elitist behavior of the Clinton years – because they think they would prefer Socialism/Communism to a free Republic. They are not very bright.

Luvya Dubya! You are the greatest."
