SCHLUSSEL COLUMNS GET RESULTS!: Unions Boycott "Flight Plan"; GOP Cancels Terror Supporter By Debbie Schlussel

Sometimes, even a little website, like mine, can make a difference:

* As a result of my column on the outrageous Jodie Foster movie, "Flight Plan," the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA)--the flight attendant's union--is boycotting the movie, APFA spokeswoman and flight attendant Lori Bassani told me. Also as a result of my column, the Federal Air Marshals Association (FAMA) also has sent out mass e-mails calling for the boycott of this irresponsible, PC-mad movie.

* As a result of my column about the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) hosting Islamic terror supporter, California Finance Director Tom Campbell, the RJC has replaced him as the speaker at their Southern California event. Glad to hear it.

2 FOR 2, Today. Makes it all worth it.

Me in Today's WASHINGTON TIMES By Debbie Schlussel

My column exposing Jodie Foster's outrageous new movie, "Flight Plan," was quoted/excerpted in today's Washington Times in the "Inside Politics" column.

My thanks to columnist Greg Pierce who regularly pens the well-read (and well-written) column, excerpted here (SPOILER ALERT--do not read if you don't want to know the plot of "Flight Plan"):

PC Villains

The bad guys in Jodie Foster's new movie "Flight Plan" are a flight attendant and a federal air marshal, instead of the politically incorrect Arab villains.

The movie, which opens nationwide today, is "an outrageous piece of propaganda and incredible display of the irresponsible," declares Debbie Schlussel. "If you're a freedom-loving American like me, the rotten tricks of this movie will disgust you."

At her blog (www.debbieschlussel.com) the Detroit-based columnist writes: "Throughout 'Flight Plan,' we are given hints -- very strong hints -- that four Muslim Arabs are the terrorists on the plane. ... Instead, the terrorists are the flight's air marshal and a flight attendant.

"That is an outrage for a number of reasons. Two of those reasons are Betty Ong and Madeleine Amy Sweeney. Both were among the many flight attendants who gave their lives on 9/11.

"They weren't terrorists. They were American heroes. Instead of calling their families to say good-bye, they contacted ground crews and identified the hijackers. It was because of them that authorities were able to identify Mohamed Atta and his 18 thugs as al Qaeda.

"Other flight attendants were brutally murdered by the hijackers, who slit their throats."

The film is also a "huge blow" to the image of federal air marshals, Miss Schlussel says.

"Is it more likely that a dedicated, patriotic American [air marshal] ... would be a terrorist hijacker ... or four suspicious-looking, strange-acting Arab Muslims? 'Flight Plan' wants you to think the former."

Noting that Miss Foster "is set to play Nazi film propagandist Leni Riefenstahl in an upcoming movie," Miss Schlussel asks: "And John Hinckley tried to murder a president to impress this woman?"

Guess I won't be paying to watch this movie.

I have nostalgia for "Delta Force." Great movie - and Chuck Norris' showdown with the terrorist baddy on the Damascus highway is the money scene - worth sitting through the entire film for. But that was the 80s. It wouldn't be made today for sure.

No, it seems Hollyweird only wants to promote anti-America. and then they wonder why movie watching is tanking.

I haven't been to a movie in probably 8 months and we used to go all the time! I just have to much trouble dispensing with reality long enough to see these over-paid, Un-American asses as the characters they attempt to portray.

I miss Lee Marvin. He was good in that movie.

One of the best scenes was the one where the Delta Operators come through the floor and start taking on the terrorists in the schoolhouse.

Norris finds a terrorist hiding under a cot, and shoots him right there.
