Protesters attack Garofalo show With Ashley Pearson, MSNBC

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 think JG WILL go on TV,probably with O'Reilly, once she lets recent developments seep in and re-adjust her way of thinking, and admit she feels like a fool, and was, yes, wrong about the war effort. Crawl on broken glass and deliver flowers to the White House, NO, I don't think that
would be allowed anyway.

If she gets her show on the air, she'll say she won.
When the show flops, she'll say it was the networks fault.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Yep. With liberals, it's always someone else's fault. I wouldn't be surprised if the other actors, writers, and producers are conspiring behind the scenes to get her removed. No matter their politics, Hollywood types are all about themselves and their careers first, and they probably don't want to get Dixie Chicked before the show even has a chance to air.
