THE NUTS HATE BUSH BUT WE LUVYA DUBYA: Beverly Hills AfterFreep Report!

Dec. 2, 2003

[Cinnamon Girl]

While the nuts were gathering in the Beverly Hilton for their childish "Hate Bush" meeting, the America-loving, President Bush-loving folks from all around were joining up with signs and cheers on Wilshire Boulevard, across the street from the hotel.

And it wasn't just us Freepers-- the very good looking College Republicans from Loyola Marymount, Ted Hayes, and other happy people who heard about the rally from all the talk shows today (thanks talk show hosts!) were out there with us. Signs were upbeat: "Luvya Dubya", "L.A. Loves W.", "Real Men Love G.W." (that was Outraged, who was dressed in his superman costume), "President Bush is My Hero", and of course there were lots of American Flags.

As RonDog waved with his big Mickey Mouse hand and we waved our signs chanting "President Bush!" and "Five More Years!" TONS of cars passed us, many of them HONKING THEIR HORNS in support-- much more than I had expected, actually. I keep wanting to believe that more and more people are rejecting the liberal trash in LA; my experience at rallies over the years suggests to me that there is a changing tide. Yes, we got a lot of middle fingers-- one of the most common forms of expression from liberals-- but on the BIRD-OMETER, with the rally in front NBC studios during the Al Gore hissy fit being a 10, this ranked a 4. At that rally we got a lot of screaming curse words as well, but at this one, the anger was actually WAY, WAY toned down with a few "He's an idiot" comments and 'thumbs down' but the RAGE wasn't there.

Lots of media showed up: KTLA 5, CBS 2, channels 9 and 11 as well, plus a CBS from Sacramento.

The energy was really good, and, although the Hate Bush attendees came in through the backway from the parking garage and avoided us, there were a few loitering in the lobby who could see us, and well, if they watch the news tonight, I guess they'll get an earful.

Look for pictures from Freeper "rantblogger."

P.S. I saw two people give us the finger with one hand, while holding their phones in the other-- while DRIVING.

The Ny Daily News reports on the Hollywood nuts' love for Dem presidential candidates:

From the hills of California to the shores of Malibu, Democrat presidential hopefuls are fighting for backing in Hollywood.

We told you how Madonna, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Norman Lear, Hard Rock Casino owner Peter Morton, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen are among those making time for Wesley Clark.

And Howard Dean has done great box office with Robin Williams, Helen Hunt, Rene Russo, Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon and Paul Newman.

"People here like stars," director Rob Reiner told Salon.com. "They thought Wesley Clark could be a movie star. They thought initially that John Edwards would be the movie star. But at the end of the day, we [the industry] will coalesce."

The Web site notes that Edwards received a small amount - $2,000 - from Jeffrey Katzenberg. But Katzenberg's DreamWorks partners, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, have yet to open their checkbooks.

Left-leaning Left Coasters are hoping there won't be a sequel to President Bush's 2000 victory. One casualty of that election, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, counts only Jerry Stiller among his celebrity shillers.

Dick Gephardt is faring better, banking support from Chevy Chase, Morgan Fairchild, Mira-maximus Harvey Weinstein and "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin. Closer to home, crooner Tony Bennett will appear at a New York fund-raiser for Gephardt on Dec. 11 at the Canal Room. And tonight, John Kerry will be making his pitch at Ed Kleefield's brasserie, Jean-Luc.

Actually, Lloyd Grove did an article yesterday explaining that the organizer, Laurie David, never used the word HATE in her original invite. However, one of the recipients altered the email and forwarded it around with HATE BUSH 12/2. Drudge has a copy of the email. Many in attendance proudly received the HATE BUSH version.

BIG NIGHT FOR DUBYA DETESTERS

Click here to view today's PageSix column on one page

December 2, 2003 -- "CURB Your Enthusiasm" star Larry David's wife Laurie created an enviable buzz for tonight's political powwow of liberal Hollywood activists after she dubbed it the "Hate Bush" event.

While the strategy session at the Beverly Hilton actually has the considerably less-inflammatory title, "A Mandatory Meeting to Change the Leadership in America in 2004," Laurie, an avid environmentalist, caused a stir when she forwarded invites with the e-mail heading, "Hate Bush 12/2 Event."

Internet gossip Matt Drudge gleefully seized upon the "Hate Bush" story yesterday, noting that the meeting will be chaired by Harold Ickes, Bill Clinton's former White House deputy chief-of-staff and Clinton/Al Gore campaign manager, and Ellen Malcom, founder of Emily's List, a group dedicated to electing pro-choice, Democratic women. Former AFL-CIO political director Steve Rosenthal will also chair, according to an invite obtained by PAGE SIX.

But Ariel "Ari" Emanuel, a founding partner of the powerful Endeavor talent agency, brother of Clinton White House staffer Rahm Emanuel and agent to Larry David and "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin, bristled at the "Hate Bush" hullabaloo.

"People are assembling over a political issue - the 2004 election," Emanuel told us. "I didn't know that free assembly was a bad thing. The invite didn't say 'Hate Bush,' and I don't think the [Drudge story] was productive." Emanuel declined to say who he'll support, but assured us, "It won't be Bush."

Others expected at today's 7 p.m. session include "Seinfeld" co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus; Julie Bergman, producer of "G.I. Jane" and "The Fabulous Baker Boys;" Naomi Foner, screenwriter for the Halle Berry flick "Losing Isiah;" Scott Burns, creator of the "Got Milk?" ad campaign; former "T.J. Hooker" actress Heather Thomas; Jamie Mandelbaum, an entertainment lawyer who represents Hilary Duff; and United Talent Agency agent Jay Sures, who recently hosted a fund-raiser for Democratic presidential wannabe Gen. Wesley Clark at his Brentwood, Calif., home.

Speaking of Clark, the button-down military man engaged in a 90-minute policy discussion with Madonna in her L.A. home in a bid to mobilize celebrity support. Clark has also wooed the likes of Ben Affleck and J.Lo, Steven Spielberg and Norman Lear.

Great job last night!
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy strikes again.

Thanks!

We learned everything that we know from the "MASTERS of the FReep" at www.DCchapter.com :o)

[stevio]

Entering through the backdoor, how appropriate.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

LOL

Speak into the mic, Laurie dear...

[b4its2late]

Great report!

[arasina]

Dubya Luvsya, I'm sure. :o)

[NordP]

I just came from the Hatch/Kennedy Hate Crimes thread - I think this falls into the category of a "hate crime" don't you???

EXCELLENT WORK RONDOG!!! AND ALL!!!

[.cnI redruM]

Did you guys have a sign that read "I'll be president before Hillary"? If so, you were on Fox & Friends this morning. Congrats!

[Mo1]

I just came from the Hatch/Kennedy Hate Crimes thread - I think this falls into the category of a "hate crime" don't you???

I'll have to look for that thread .. but yes, it would seem to me to fall under that category .. I think it's the "Hate Bush" part

[Kenton]

Hey, I saw you guys on FOX this morning, it made my day! They didn't say it was Freepers, but I kind of had a suspicion it might be.

Way to go!

[dougherty]

That looks like fun. Wish I could have been there.

[sandlady]

Great job!! So how many supposedly attended this Hate Bush meeting?

[MissAmericanPie]

I got home fairly late from a local conservative action committee meeting last night and caught a tread that said your Freep was going to be aired on Scarboro Country on MSNBC at 10 eastern time. I missed it, do you know if he aired the segment, did anyone see it?

[Angelwood]

The photos are great! Fantastic FReep! Congratulations to everyone who showed up to counter the hatefest going on inside the hotel.

The DC Chapter salutes you!

By the way, I love the banners and signs -- and I caught a glimpse of the freep line on Fox and Friends this morning. Way to go!

AARON'S RANTBLOG HAS PHOTOS from the Luvya Dubya rally in Hollywood last night, held in response to (and across the street from) various entertainment-industry folks' "hate Bush event."

It's a topsy turvy world, when something called "Aaron's Rantblog" is showing more love than a bunch of Hollywood types. Or maybe it's not. . . .
