Bush Fans Turn Up the Heat on Disney/Micheal Moore [FR Linked on MSNBC]

Get ready for the Bushies versus Mickey Mouse.

Some stalwart supporters of the President are organizing a boycott of Disney after it was revealed that a subsidary of the company is helping finance Michael Moore's 'Farenheit 9/11,' which is expected to come out in time for the 2004 election and reportedly will show links between the Bush dynasty and Osama Bin Laden.

On Friday, Variety reported Disney's Mirimax would provide funding for the flick after Mel Gibsons Icon Productions dropped the project.

'Financing Michael Moore's 2004 attack film is UNACCEPTABLE, notes a poster (recovering_democrat) on the Conservative web site Free Republic, which gives contact numbers for people to complain to both Mirimax and Disney.

The site also urges boycotts of all Disney products, including Disney World and even ABC.

A source close to Mirimax says the company is undaunted, 'We have weathered storms like this before.'

When asked about the planned boycott by Free Republic.com, the insider said, 'Whoever they are, they are entitled to their opinion.'

BOYCOTT DISNEY: a vortex of seductive evil™

Oooops, I forgot, he's a member of the RAT family. Never mind.

MICKEY MOUSE IS A RAT

The fact that this movie is coming out just before the election is proof of Moore's intent. If his history shows us (and it does), this movie will be filled with fallacy just as Bowling for Columbine was. And movie distributors would be foolish to take on one of his films solely for the fact that it is not a documentary, nor is it factual. It is purely fiction.

Good observation!

I copied the info for letters, appeared at a Current Events meeting ready to share but everybody was already in gear. I think we've got it...finally! I haven't been to a movie in 6 years and now I won't return to Disney ever again...this stuff just has to be stopped. Doing my part and looks like I'm certainly not alone. Note: Went to Disneyland last month and there were NO lines for anything.

"818-560-8231 is a number that was found yesterday on Yahoo thread for Disney Public Relations."

I called and expressed my desire not to give any money to Disney and its affiliate knowingly ever again.

I guess that the reason Mel's Icon company dropped it was that they realised what the REAL intent was. Given his background, it was interesting that they even considered getting involved in this travesty. He's better off not touching this pile of ca-ca.

First of all, Michael Moore is a con man, and not much else. He's a troll that works the airwaves instead of the internet. He loves the reaction to him, as it's part of his schtick.

Disney and Eisner, of course, are more concerned with advancing the homosexual agenda and totalitarianism in the guise of the Rat party than they are turning a profit. Want proof? Eisner pressured Tim Allen to have a homosexual couple as neighbors on Home Improvement, the last actual hit show to be on ABC. Why did he want this? Because Ellen got lower ratings than a test pattern, and the only reason Eisner cares about ratings is so they can advance his agenda.

The principles running Disney and Mirimax are all personally filthy rich. They don't care about money, and they don't care about their investors.

My girlfriend wanted to go to Disney World on vacation.

Looks like we'll be going to Myrtle Beach instead.
