Danny Glover Bashes Bush in Brazil -'George W. is a Racist' (Lethal Weapon Mega Hurl!)
MSNBC.com ^ | Jeanette Walls

Posted on 02/11/2003 6:42:24 AM PST by ewing

Add actor Danny Glover to the growing list of celebrity George W. Bush bashers.

The 'Lethal Weapon' star was in Brazil recently where he called George W. 'a racist' and blasted many of the Presidents policies.

'Yes he's racist,' Glover said in response to a question from a reporter from the Brazilian Magazine Isto E, according to our sources translation.

'We all knew that but the world is only finding it out now. As Texas Governor, Bush led a penitentiary system that executed more people than all of the US states toghter. And most of the people who died from the death penalty were Afro-Americans or Hispanics.'

Glover continued: 'Bush promoted a conservative program, designed to eliminate everything Americans have accomplished so far in matters of race and equality.'

Danny can go here to Iraq with his other American traitors!

Iraq Grants Anti-War 'Human Shields' Entry Visas


"I am an American human shield on this trip to Baghdad to try and stop this war," said volunteer John Rosse.

"I ask American troops headed here...not to come, they have no business being here. They do not make good ambassadors. They are here to kill, murder, devastate the civilian population of Iraq. That is not an American thing to do."

I wouldn't waste my time. I was so ticked off during 2000 elections when MCI was playing their idiot commercials (young Gen-X'ers from all over) and one real-quick almost subliminal shot in MTV-blurry type of scene was some dude standing in front of a sign that said 'www.votedemocratic.com'

What a blatantly hack commercial. My disgust for MCI since turned to revulsion.

I think a boycott would fall on deaf ears at this sinking anchor.

At some point, celebrities need to stop being political activists....we're not actors and they're not politicians. Using their movies etc., to further their cause in a sneaky way just makes me wanna puke.

Did you notice that the most vocal ones are senior level type of actors and actresses. They can afford to take backlash...the newer actors can't. This tells me they don't CARE what "we" think..

Just some thoughts..

MCI / WORLDCOM Geesh, I'd think a true DemoSocialistMarxistLeftistLiberal like Danny Glover wouldn't want to work for an "EVIL CORP"...such as MCI / WORLDCOM

I don't and won't ever use MCI as my long distance provider...but that won't stop me from voicing my displeasure with their choice of a spokesperson.

FWIW..& FRegards,

http://www.mci.com/customer_service/ContactUs.jsp They'll ask you to select a category that your e-mail falls under. I selected other. What makes me sick is that they hand out calling cards to my fellow soldiers overseas. Wait till me friends see this junk from Glover.

I've been sickened by all the so called actors and actresses coming out so to speak. It has spoiled the movie industry for me. I just quit going to movies and rarely rent them anymore. It is no longer FUN.

"Glover needs to study the civil right movement a little closer before he bashes Heston. Charlton walked with Dr. King in Selma"

In case anyone would like to vote with their pocketbook, there is a long distance carrier that I, personally, use (oooh! endorsements).

http://www.sienna-group.com/whyus.html

Sienna Communications. It's more of a pro-life, anti-porn kind of thing, but it WOULD take money from MCI, and you could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

It helps from the pocketbook standpoint, too. Our long distance has dropped by a tremendous amount. And you get to direct a little bit of your bill to the charity of your choice...

Anyway, I like it!

The use of the term racist is the mark of a coward. It is the last resort when other arguments are proven to be false.
