I can't stand these people. They are the reason I refuse to see movies in theaters - I will not subsidize their socialist agenda!!!!

[maxamillion]

Ask your kids what they heard in school about the election??? I asked some kids from our school & they never heard anything about it!!! This is such an historical event & they didn't hear anything about it!!! Imagine that...

[GodBlesBush]

I haven't heard anything about it at the office so I'm sure my kindergardner hasnt heard anything about it at school. I just know she cried last night because she couldn't vote at the kids voting booth because the poll workers had taken it down an hour early.

As always, Medved is knowledgeable and articulate spokesman for sanity in Hollywood and for a great number of conservative causes. He grew up in SoCal and knows personally the HoWood crowd, has been longtime movie reviewer and author of a few books. He's brilliant!

Nevertheless, here in Seattle market, his home, talk-show station KVI570 bumped him out of afternoon live spot on their lineup in favor of the less interesting Hannity show, which could just as easily have been programmed later in the day. I truly miss Medved, who quit KVI rather than accept a deal to rebroadcast his show in the evening when Seattle listeners would have no chance to call in live.

The reason Hollywoodies love leftwing liberals is that both live in a world of make-believe, not reality.

[FeliciaCat]

If you have never been around Celebrities and their scene its hard to understand the completely self-absorbed world they live in. If you were never told to shut up and constantly surrounded yourself with yes-men, you to might feel your opinion on world affairs is the "end all be all".

If it wasn’t so pathetic it would be funny.

[secretagent]

Please retract your not-so veiled threat.

[RooRoobird14]

The Hollywierdos force their politics on the public because of their ARROGANCE and NARCISSISM. They honestly believe they are better and smarter than the average person---it simply does not occur to them that we don't give a d@mn about their stupid opinions. These spoiled brats are regularly astounded and offended when we don't mutely accept their blow-hard rants with gratitude. AntEater Face Streisand is a classic example.

[Landru]

I understood exactly what the poster meant.

...you seeing things?

[RepoGirl]

I just know she cried last night because she couldn't vote at the kids voting booth because the poll workers had taken it down an hour early.

Hi, I'd just like to say that this struck me as wonderful. No, not that your little girl was sad--but that she was sad because she couldn't participate in a mock election. Congratulations on a job well done, your child is just a wee lass, and already has a stronger sense of civic duty than most adults I know. Well done!!!

[secretagent]

Perhaps you see a metaphor in "assassinates". I don't.

[Rome2000]

Eric Roberts, star..told Fox News that he considers the president "fascist" and a co-conspirator (with Osama bin Laden) in deliberately "wrecking the American economy."

In what country is he a star?

It sure isn't the USA.

[Landru]

It's not as-if we didn't know all along there these people had to be paying some kind of a price.
Just as the *nets*, cable-news squackers and others who aligned themselves with the fruitcake Left surely will in one way or another.

The question was then as it is now, "Why?"
Did they really think they'd have the last word?

Nevertheless; an interesting -- albeit rare -- admission.
One chock-full of *insights* which translate directly to the primary mission of the CCRM's day-to-day duties of tracking the Liberal-Socialist Lamestream media jackals & hyenas.

...don'tcha think?

[Bigg Red]

I can't stand these people. They are the reason I refuse to see movies in theaters - I will not subsidize their socialist agenda!!!!

My thoughts exactly. I also don't watch tv. I would never give West Wing even a nanosecond of my time because of their anti-American propaganda and star.

[Sophie]

I've been done with liberal Hollywood for a long time. I avoid their movies. I do not want to put one penny in their pockets.

[RLK]

The people quoted here all seem to be multimillionaires. There doesn't seem to be much element of risk involved.

[Landru]

Well secretagent, it's kinda in the same vien as what Craig Kilborn said on his stupid show concerning our -- a sitting -- POTUS??
Only what was said above was somewhere around 1x10⁶ LESS suggestive of anything meaningful; if, it were suggestive, a'tall.
~Suggestive to anyone other than you, that is.
Understand?

Know what I think?
Maybe your mainspring's a tad tight.
The question then becomes, "why"?
What's your motive for seeing these "threats"?
You're not thinking of doing anything stupid -- as inspired by, "those words" -- are you?

I mean, let me clarify this for you, OK?
There's trouble & then, there's looking for trouble.

...~eh?

[Welsh Rabbit]

In what country is he a star? It sure isn't the USA.

LOL! That's for sure. I vaguely remember him from when I was a young kid in the mid-80s. That he has a TV show now is news to me...
