Hollywood would never "discipline" its own fellow travelers. Would it?

Maybe the execs can't pick on them, but we sure can. I will never see a movie with ant of these turds in it.

The Screen Actors Guild is warning the entertainment industry that it better not blacklist people who speak out against war with Iraq. Don't worry, the American public is perfectly capable of sanctioning these idiots without the help of the entertainment industry.

I will not pay spend my money to see any of their movies, TV shows, or listen to their music. Go ahead Hollywood execs and through good money after bad. They are blacklisting themselves. Just shut-up and say your stupid lines or sing you stupid little songs. I don't want to hear you stupid little opinions.

Yep. They don't have to black ball them. Some of us , that refuse to spend our money watching their shows or movies will do it for them.

What about the fact that those actors and actresses are not the commodity that they once were. Americans are not going to quickly forget these acts of sedition by those who owe everything they have to the Americans they are betraying.

Notice how they run to their "Union" to protect them. I too will not watch or listen to these cowards.

Not anymore.

The statement released Monday champions free speech, and said, "Even a hint of the blacklist must never again be tolerated in this nation." On the other hand, a pinklist to punish those homophobic christians is perfectly acceptable. Also, a greenlist to punish conservatives who dare to speak out against environazis is a good idea.

Be warned! The next thing they will do is come after the people who refuse to pay to see anti-war celebrities on the big screen. They will call it a civil rights violation, hate think, or something similar.
Then they will have legislation passed that every movie theatre must show their movies.
Then legislation will be passed forcing us to see their movies under the penalty of fines, jail time and/or death! /sarcasm>

I'd like to see every one of them lose money. If enough people quit seeing their movies and buying their CD's, the combined ego deflation would be enough hot air to create global warming for real :)

Oh, this makes perfect sense. Movie makers should have to cast actors no matter how unpopular they are. Who cares about the box-office bottom line. This is about art! Works for me.
