(Ron) Silver fears H'wood backlash
New York Daily News ^ | 9/01/04 | Rush & Molloy

Posted on 09/01/2004 2:05:30 AM PDT by kattracks

Actor Ron Silver got a much warmer welcome at the convention Monday night - but will his speech get a chilly reception in Hollywood?

Even though Silver made it plain in his address that he disagrees with President Bush on domestic issues, he claims he is catching it for hailing the war on Saddam.

"I've already been feeling it socially," Silver tells us. "[Democrats] don't want to engage in any real conversation about post-9/11 security. They are so blinded by their Bush hatred."

After chiding Tinseltown Kerry supporters in his speech, Silver says, "The Hollywood Reporter headline read, 'Actor Silver Rips Colleagues.'"

Does he think script offers will dry up?

"I have no way to know," he says. "Ironically, I just did an episode for 'Law & Order.' I play a defense lawyer defending a Muslim terrorist."

as someone in "the biz" I can guarantee Mr. Silver that the new blacklist has taken root. Hopefully it will not be a long chill. I was sympathetic to those on the left that lived through it. Many seem to have forgotten lessons that should have been learned a long time ago.

Certainly if the Reigning Queen of All Hollywood Evil has her poisonous way, it could happen:

Ron Silver will be fine. He won't be blacklisted because they've already decided he won't work in Hollywood ever again. /humor

"Silver tells us. "[Democrats] don't want to engage in any real conversation about post-9/11 security."

[Democrats] don't seem to want to engage in any productive dialog at all. That's the problem. They don't address issues, they don't debate. They call names and say that something is a "lie" without providing any evidence to the contrary. You're expected to accept whatever they say without question.

Regardless of what he said or his opinion, the only thing I can say about him is he always looked like a snake!

And he plays a snake very well!

Ron Silver has thoroughly calculated the risk/reward.

He's quite okay with his new exposure. Believe me.

President Bush made it quite clear on September 20, 2001... You are with US or you are with the terrorists!

Ron Silver made the right decision.

thanks for the link on Silver. In the list of movies to his credit, I don't think I had seen any of them.

How about renting past videos wherein he performs? How about writing to Hollywood producers and scriptwriters?

It's how the lefties did "this" so many years ago.... Too many conservatives have been "income" punished for far too long; denied jobs, law-suited (false allegations), etc.

Yes, it is time for us all to stand up for each other. IME, of course.

Libs have been picking us off, one by one, for many, many years. No more.

Porbably nearly all of the important ones, since Silver was an avid Clinton supporter prior to 9/11.

(I am pleased to see that he gets just how important the War on Terror is to this nation.)

I was impressed by his speech at
Rally for the Troops, Rally for America
April 12, 2003
