NEW YORK -- Hollywood stars at a Democratic fund-raiser here late Thursday night ripped President Bush as a liar, "another cheap thug" and a killer in a night of Bush bashing that put the Kerry team on the defensive and provoked widespread criticism. Both Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards were on stage at Radio City Music Hall as the stars uttered their remarks. Neither one rebuked them. Kerry, in fact, said that every performer "conveyed the heart and soul of America."
Yesterday, Republicans called on the Kerry campaign to repudiate the remarks and to release a videotape of the concert so people can judge for themselves. Kerry aides reacted by saying that the stars' attacks didn't represent the candidate's thinking. "If John Kerry is going to praise last night's star-studded hate-fest and characterize it as the 'heart and soul' of America, he should share these values with voters everywhere," said Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman.
Even a song written for the fund-raiser captured the vehemence of the night. In a song called "Texas Bandido," John Mellencamp wrote, "He's just another cheap thug that sacrifices our young. ... You're going to get us killed with your little white lies."
In a statement yesterday, Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) said he was saddened, but not surprised, that Kerry didn't challenge the commentary. "Last night John Kerry held a fund-raiser in New York that featured performers in a time of war calling the president of the United States a killer, a cheap thug and a liar. John Kerry just sat there, grinning like a mule eating briars," Miller said.

--We should buy no more albums, no more newspapers, no more dvd's, no more cd's, no more movie tickets
we should stop watching network tv . . . --
So, lets make a list...
Whoopi
Paul Newman (oh well, I will find another salad dressing)
John Bonjovi
John Leguozamo
Chevy Chase
Meryl Streep
...
Come on, lets get a list together here....
A call to arms. Needs to be a separate thread.
I don't know if this is Kerry's Dukakis/tank moment, but it's pretty close. It's so early too, he just may redefine the meaning of "self destruct".
Nice work. If you have it, post the link so that others can respond.
It's easier to make a list of those we can support.

--Saw a Whoop(s)ie ad for SlimFast recently. It inspired me to sit down and write a letter to the company--excerpt: "As long as Ms. Goldberg is your spokesperson, I won't be buying your product." --
Whats that old joke... I can loose weight, but you will still be ugly?? Too bad for her, she lost the weight, and is still ugly, in HER heart and soul
I'm not giving up the fight yet. It's just not my nature. You can if you like, it's your choice. The fact that Kerry didn't get a "veep selection bounce" and that despite the onslaught from Moore and company, President Bush's poll numbers are rising (rather than falling) gives me hope.
I think we need to shut it all down . . . show hollywood that they work for us, not the other way around
Burn Hollywood Burn!
Make your own. Fresh and yummy and can be made in two minutes or less. Why I used to pay premium prices for that stuff I will never know.

This should be listed on the front page, FReep this!! I think everyone should get a chance to do this :)
Already done. :)
My guess? At this point, they'd rather not hear from us. Too bad!
The tank that lost an election.
Exactly... We should have an organized campaign requesting Whoopi to be the keynote speaker... LOL
Who is John Legfuozamo?
I read a gossip columnist's report on this disgusting event a couple hours ago. IIRC, Miss Kerry was said to have been wearing THAT dress again at Radio Music Hall fundraiser.
Welcome to Free Republic!
If we're lucky Team FlipFlop will stroke themselves into a permanent coma.

That's my point...once they get power, they're unrestrained in it's use.
