Criticizing Obama: Does it really get you blacklisted in Hollywood?
Fox News ^ | October 11, 2013 | Hollie McKay

This week, actor James Woods took to Twitter to criticize President Obama amid the government slimdown and also said he now expects to struggle to find work in left-leaning Los Angeles. So is Woods on target, or just paranoid?

According to Mell Flynn, President of the Hollywood Congress of Republicans, discrimination against Republicans in Hollywood indeed runs rampant. …

Early last year, Kelsey Grammer scooped a Golden Globe for his performance in the Starz series “Boss,” and at the after-party boasted to us that being a Republican was “easy” for him “because [he] was such a revolutionary” and refused to be told what to do. Yet several months later it seems Grammer had a change of heart after he was surprisingly snubbed for an Emmy nomination. …

And not long after Obama’s first swoop into the White House, actress Angie Harmon told us that she was left with the “racist” label for vocalizing her disappointment in the Democratic leader, and claimed that she had been rejected for jobs over the years due to her right-of-center views. …

You bet it does.

This is one Black List Hollywood approves of.

ABSOLUTELY....
And the examples of this are PLENTY.

In today’s gay-controlled media, you go along with whatever Today’s Current Truth, as approved by MediaMatters/OFA, or you find another profession.

It’s worth having a Twitter account just to see the lib heads explode whenever James Woods sends out his anti-obama tweets.

Hollywood, your day of doom is coming. There are enough non-liberal actors, directors, technical people, and audience in America that a movie industry could be sustained without any help from the leftist windbags. The films wouldn’t have to be political; they just wouldn’t have some leftist message tucked in the script.

Well, James Woods DID correctly report witnessing a dry run of the 9-11 hijackings.

Inconvenient truths and all that.

You’re wrong. Hollywood has LONG been sustained on 75 years of “back catalog” talkies that have already turned a profit and continue to make them money via cable, broadcast, streaming, and home video revenues.

It paid well for them to buy off the legislators repeatedly so that copyrights now last 100 years.

They are not accountable to the peons. They p!ss away money on liberal projects and make bank on the back stock.

Hollywood has been getting their revenge of Joe McCarthy for the past 60 years.

So, for the 1107th time, I ask the question...why aren't conservatives doing something about creating a conservative-patriotic pop culture? Why are we not doing anything to counter the liberal Hollyweird-music-video game-cable TV-professional sports pop culture establishment? Why aren't the likes of the Koch Brothers, Donald Trump, et al, putting their money into building movie production studios to take on Hollyweird? Why aren't there any hedge funds out there that invest in buying up controlling interest in cable TV companies, record labels, and professional sports teams?

Good grief! If there's any hope of reaching and deprogramming Generation.com (IOW, the kids who'll be taking the reins of government in 15-20 years) of the Leftist indoctrination they've undergone their entire lives, we have to wrap our message in a package they'll actually open...and that means music, movies, TV, sports and video games. The Koch Brothers can buy all the newspapers they want, but it's not going to damn thing to help change the course of this nation...because the 40-and under demographic doesn't read newspapers!

As long as we conservatives continue to allow Leftists unfettered access to the skulls of young people through pop culture, we'll continue to watch the slow death of our Republic. I'm afraid all James Woods has done is sign his career's death warrant.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Sure with Angie’s hit tv show and Patricia Heaton’’s TWO hit shows. Poor ladies are treated so poorly. If you can act, you can work in Hollywood. James Woods is an ok actor.

Ok had to get proof. James Woods has been in 135 various TV and movies and in 2013, he was in 6 movies and 2 TV series. He was in White House Down that you guys bashed and boycotted. Perhaps you guys are the reason he is complaining when you refuse to see his movies and TV series. Ray Donovan was cancelled because you guys refused to watch. He is being hired for various things but people are refusing to watch him
for some reason.
