Disney reportedly drops Moore's anti-Bush project

HollywoodHalfwits.com

John Alvarez of Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood (PABAAH), has reported to Hollywood Halfwits (www.hollywoodhalfwits.com) that Disney has seemingly come to its senses regarding the Michael Moore project titled, Fahrenheit 911. According to Alvarez, he had a conversation with Disney CEO Michael Eisner's secretary, who was very familiar with the Moore controversy, and she told him that Mr. Eisner has decided that while they and Miramax were considering a movie project, they have decided that it is not something they would want to be associated with.

Disney, via subsidiary Miramax, had recently agreed to cover the production costs of Moore's "documentary" which claims bin Laden was greatly enriched by the Bush family. "The primary thrust of the new film is what has happened to the country since Sept. 11, and how the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda," Moore explained.

The film proved too controversial for Mel Gibson's Icon Productions, which earlier this week dropped their plans to finance it.

Outrageous!  This is a clear violation of Michael Moore's First Amendment Right to have movies funded and produced by anyone he sees fit and for him to be able to force others to watch them! </SARCASM>
 
Good luck with your next dopey piece of fiction, fat boy.

I still haven't seen an official statement from Disney on this. I do believe that these people were told what they claim when they called but it seems odd that Disney has not tried to correct the error when Daily Variety claimed that they were funding Michael Moore's next film.

<< SIgh... > > I am deeply disturbed, troubled, saddened, disheartened, and discouraged by this.

I just now read about Disney's plans, in a *July* issue of one of the NRA magazines (I get two and my wife gets one, so who knows which one it was...).

I was all set to get on here and post, after a long hiatus, a notice about this, entitled "DISNEY LOVES MOORE, HATES AMERICA", along with a blistering diatribe demanding a boycott.

Now here I find out that Disney has already been beaten into submission?

D**n... I was looking *forward* to kicking Mickey Mouse's fat, homosexual little butt... I'm going to have to go out and do something ELSE to gratify my sadistic, Lieberal-hating urges... hmmm... wonder if Hitlary will be pushing its book anywhere in the vicinity any time soon...
