Hollywood Left in Denial, Resorts to 'Irreality' Television
Insight on the News ^ | March 12, 2003 | Julia Gorin

Posted on 03/13/2003 7:55:41 AM PST by EveningStar

It's a place where the Clinton presidency lives on in the personage of Martin Sheen and where JFK is always a hero. It's where problems really can be fixed by throwing money at them and where the rest of the world wants peace, too. It's where death-row inmates have been "framed'' and pedophiles are victims under Megan's Law. It's where raising taxes improves an economy and where unlimited social programs still leave the budget balanced. In short, it's where liberal policies work, because what sounds good on paper and works in theory also works in the movies and on TV.

The hollywood rats are running around in bumping into each other. They have no idea what has happened to them. I'll tell them: FOXtv, talk radio and the net. In the past they could stand up and lie and the lemmings would nod their empty heads in approval. Now the lemmings have smartened up and; the game is over!

It's part of the liberal idea that result's don't matter, and that all you have to do is proclaim warm fuzzy incohearant platitudes in order to make said liberal speaker feel better, but never actually intelectually sovle a detailed problem.

I'll give you 1 example.
Todays democrat party is devoid from majority power in the White House, Senate, House, State houses, and Govnerships across the country. Put simply, The don't set the political agenda on the local, state or federal level.

They didn't examine the root cause of the parties problms (like the DNCs decistion to defend the indefensable clinton in the late 90s') and 2002 took them by suprise.

But 2002 shouldn't have been a suprise for them. If, that is, they were really going through a constant introspoection to figure out problems and solve them before they festered into a national issue.

It's deplorable that Terry McCaulaugh still wields bill clintons stick in the party, and the DNC is ok with that ??? After all, they defended the indefensable in the late 90s and spent more time and money going after, hunting down, and vilifying Ken Star and Bill Gates, then Al Queda and Osama.

Brian Kilmeade is no lemming- you had to see the way he verbally slammed Jeaneane Garofalo- absolutely priceless.

...The author has these empty-headed narcissists nailed. On the one hand they expect America to listen to their mindless rantings and disses on our President, on the other they expect no one to hold them accountable, thus the constant whining about being 'blacklisted' and 'censored'.

The Hollywood set never took into consideration the fact that millions and millions of Americans would react to their anti-Americanism as they are. Penn is washed up, Donahue is gone, Garafolo(sp) said she's going to keep quiet from now on and this morning I heard on Fox & Friends that Visa dropped Martin Sheen's ads on TV. It seems the Hollywood dummies forgot that on 9/11/01 America was attacked and thousands lost their lives. Well, the rest of America didn't forget and are doing something about the liberal Hollywood jerks.

Rush talking about this right now. VISA saying that ad "ran its' course." That sheen's political views had no part.
Yeah right.

...And the list keeps getting longer and longer, and...

Next thing you know all these Hollycreeps will be out of a job, or busing tables at the local Bob's Big Boy. Turnabout is in fair play, guys and gals!

According to FoxNews it is indeed true. Martin Sheen has also been complaining about "hate mail" and said whoever produces his TV show is worried about his anti-Americanism impacting his show - what is it - The West Wing? I've never watched it. Hopefully, we might get rid of him.
