Protesters attack Garofalo show

April 9 — 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.

Oh, Janeane....

Brian Kilmeade's at the door with a bagful of broken glass...

[kylaka]

Fat chance of that happening.

"But, but, but.....this wasn't in the script!"

[Aquinasfan]

Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Or at least have your show cancelled.

On a similar topic, Hunter S. Thompson said that he'd cover his head with leaches if he was wrong on the Super Bowl outcome (he was).

On his ESPN web column, he said that he would possibly do it on an appearance on Late Night With Conan O'Brian. Did it ever happen? Anyone got pics???

On topic note, Hunter has been as wrong about this war as he was about the Super Bowl.

I'm saddened.

I'm DELIGHTED!

" Hunter has been as wrong about this war as he was about the Super Bowl."

Uncle Duke has always had an adversarial relationship with reality.

[Sunshine Sister]

That will be a first!

Dear ABC,

I was just informed that ABC is in talks with Janeanne Garafalo concerning a new sitcom. I hope you are prepared for a major negative campaign to be started ASAP. We will write your sponsors and boycott their products. We will obviously not tune in to ABC. We will continue to be vigilant, we won't forget Ms. Garafolo's active opposition to the War with Iraq.

Janeanne Garofalo is free to protest just as the American public is free to choose where we spend our money. We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein. We will stand up and fight for our right to request their exclusion from shows and sponsors that seek our attention.

(I am forwarding this note to other like-minded Americans so they are aware of ABC's actions)

I was about to complain to MSNBC yet noticed you also mention ABC. Which is it so I may direct my poison pen letter to the proper people?

BOYCOTT DISNEY: a vortex of seductive evil™

[StarFan]

Never mind, I see you're quoting MSNBC. ABC to bear the brunt.

[metalboy]

Your name is Janeane? Hi how are your doing. Anyway, I`ll have fries with that order. Oh and a coke.

[StarFan]

Me thinks ABC and their sponsors should be reminded of the words uttered by this anti-American.

"Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride." -- Garafolo, 1998 "When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off." -- Garafolo

Won't you join me in this effort?

[WildWeasel]

I wager the pilot show stunk and ABC is using this as an excuse to can the project. Whatever works is fine with me!

[StarFan]

If you're as disgusted as I, let ABC hear from you.

[Howlin]

Well, I think the protests should stop. Let them put the show on the air.

She deserves her right to die on national TV just as much as Phil Donahue did.

[gundog]

On topic note, Hunter has been as wrong about this war as he was about the Super Bowl.

He was wrong about Clinton, as well, but copped to that one.

[MadMoo]

You can be sure that Garofalo will wear her Clinton kneepads when she does her broken glass crawl!
