Protesters attack Garofalo show

April 9 — Will another anti-war celeb take a career hit? Bush supporters have been deluging ABC with calls and e-mails, complaining about a sitcom the network has in development starring outspoken war protester Janeane Garofalo.

ABC HAS reportedly been working on the comedy, in which Garofalo plays a producer at a TV newsmagazine. The pro-war protesters are threatening to organize a major campaign against ABC, including a boycott of advertisers, if the network airs the show. “We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein,” protester Jon Alvarez e-mailed ABC. “We will stand up and fight for our right to request their exclusion from shows and sponsors that seek our attention.”

Spokesmen for ABC and Garofalo had no comment.

"I am 12th cousin of George Washington and I now hate Garafolo even more than I already did (if that is possible) for dissing my cousin!!!!!!!!!!!"

I wish my great great great uncle were alive today. He'd put her in her place! (John Wesley Hardin).

I think Garafolo is entertaining. I think that the moneys at the zoo are, too. I'll watch both, but I won't listen to their politics.

my letter to ABC:
I will boycott your channel AND advertisers if the you promote the career of the terrorist dictator enabler janene garofolo AND encourage others to do the same. Believe me; it won't be hard. Look what's happening to sarandon, dixie chicks. etc. America is tired of their liberal hypocritical platforms of non expertise!
Thank you for your time.

Lipton Tea canceled their commercial which was due to air. Last I heard, the Dipsie Chicks were seen driving in a convoy to Tikrit, along with Mike Farrell, Sheen, Garafolo, and Baghdad Bob.

You see where the Baseball HOF told Sarandon and Robbins not to show up for the 15 yr anniv. of Bull Durham. Canceled! HOF was pissed at their anti-war spewage! You gotta love it when the HOF says "NO". Robbins and Sarandon must be reeling!

"When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off." -- Garafolo

She's partially right here- because we had Reagan leading us. What a dumbass. Garafolo has become a victim of her own stupidity.

GARAFALO: I would be so willing to say, "I'm sorry". I hope to God that I can be made a buffoon of, that people will say, "You were wrong. You were a fatalist". And I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, "Hey, you and Thomas Friedman were right… I shouldn't have doubted you"…

Janeane, we'll be magnanimous about it. We'll even let you wear your Clinton kneepads when you do it.

And I will go to the White House on my knees

She will be ignored. Who cares what she says and what she will do. She is only 'a pimple on an ant's behind' in the degee of her importance to the White House.
