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.'

[Temple Owl]

[JustPiper]

Well, as for ideas and be able to portray real Americans, you came to the right place! Have you seen The Canteen yet Gabrielle? Know that forum is an inspiration everyday as are all the Freepers. Jim Robinson, the owner of FR is probably the most inspirational human soul on this planet. He is why we all believe so profoundly in FR!

The Canteen

[Republican Wildcat]

Bush "fans"?

[JustPiper]

Raising hand...Oh,oh, I want a Real Man who is the Real Deal ;)

"Whoever they are,"????? Who's the Mirimax insider.....Baghdad Bob?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hit the link on this thread. The "Free Republic" link on that article will take you to the FR post I started, which is the subject of the MSNBC article!

Well, if those lurkers are reading this, my family and I boycotted Disney long ago. Their porno-making, pro-homosexual, anti-American bent drove me away.

My kids will never see Disney them parks nor will I purchase or allow them to have any Disney-themed toys, etc.

I think it's an outrage that such a wonderful place that Walt Disney created could have turned into them into a raunchy bunch of losers.

I'd suggest reading the book that exposes Eisner and Disney for what they really are.

[RoseofTexas]

We were planning a trip out to Disneyworld, but I guess our plans have changed...SO SAD :( BUH-BYE Mickey you have chosen UNWISELY!

[TNMountainMan]

Go to North Myrtle. My son will be life guarding there.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Oh, no, brother. You have never weathered a storm like this one.

[Bahbah]

LOL. Doesn't look much different from the original.

[SerpentDove]

>>Get ready for the Bushies versus Mickey Mouse.<<

Anyone detect a little bias?

[JudgemAll]

'We have weathered storms like this before.'

I would not be so sure. The costly corrupting mergers plus the economy and now the clients and investors feeling alienated will cost Disney greatly.

[Gabrielle Reilly]

Well thank you for such a warm welcome! I must say the women on here are VERY nice. One really sweet lady on here has even sent me pictures of her children and grandchildren. :) I adore children. I was just God Mother at a Baptism on the weekend and I was so proud of my God Son, Ethan. He did not even cry when they poured the water over his head! How old is your little Gabrielle? Did you mean you named her?

Politics and improving the community is something I have been passionate about all of my life. I am willing to stand and fight for my beliefs and take the critism that I am sure will come.
