"I am resigning my membership not because I wish to work on non union projects nor cross any picket line, but because I no longer wish to be a fellow traveller with those who hide behind the fetid veil of a morally bankrupt wokeism and stand silent in the face of unadulterated evil."
Meanwhile, those who "signed" the anti-Israel statement just used their initials -- they were too cowardly to put their names down. Of course, that means that there's no way to verify the count of (supposedly) more than 300 "signatories" weighing in on the side of barbarism.
“ We had no trouble, as we should not have had, weighing in after George Floyd was killed. We had no problem, as we should not have had, weighing in on the #MeToo movement.”
I think I see the problem here.
Bud, explain how McCarthy was wrong.
You aren't helping your cause.
Yeah, the guy has always been nutty.
Ignore him and his type.
McCarthy only cared about communists in the U.S. Army, not in Hollywood.
Accidental truth is best truth.
“I no longer wish to be a fellow traveller with those who hide behind the fetid veil of a morally bankrupt wokeism and stand silent in the face of unadulterated evil.”
In other words, as long as it was white people and American culture in the crosshairs, as long as it was women against men, he was fine with it.
I see no reason to accept a lie.
The leaders of Israel are responsible for instigating, encouraging and funding the terrorism against the wishes of the people of Israel.
Who are these leaders of Israel? Are they the ones spoken of in Revelation 3:9?
If the WGA was a for-profit corporation, that would be considered price fixing and a monopoly. Thank goodness for unions and other NFP's, to save us from the horrors of capitalizm!
I stand with Mr. Gordon.
Oh my. The left is splintering. Their house-of-cards is collapsing.
This is true, HUAC did look into the commies of Hollywood but McCarthy wasn’t in the House so he played no part of it.
However if you listen to the Red diaper babies you’d think he personally ran down Hollywood Bld with Bayonetta and hand grenades!
Maybe I’m being too charitable, but he didn’t just stand up for Israel — he said that he could no longer live with “the fetid veil of a morally bankrupt wokeism....” I interpret that to mean that he has had an epiphany, or has been pushed over the edge, and finally understands what he has been supporting over the years.
Given the extent of support for the woke ideology, we need to accept converts, even if they’re late, and even if there’s no real excuse for their past positions.
No, Netenyahu is not, neither is the Israli government. Some in the Israli deep state are.
The hypocrite isn't resigning from the Writers Guild of America for any other reason than he's calls himself a screen writer but 'The Hurricane' was 24 years ago and 'Wyatt Earp' was 29 years ago.
The man was done a long time ago.
As for his absurd claim that the Writers Guild of America "stood up to Fascism"; no, Hollywood has helped further its cause.
Screenwriter Dan Gordon Resigns from the Writer’s Guild Over Their Silence on Israel was the headline.
And neither have Hollywood’s Black power players condemned
the Hamas attack, despite some high pressure goading.
Knee jerk liberal, Shari Redstone, called together a slew of
Hollywood power players, including a few Blacks libs allowed in.
Redstone shared her anguish over October 7.
It was nothing short of amazing that in her “profound grief” over the attack on her beloved country of Israel, Redstone was still able to summon up riffs on diversity, inclusiveness, equality, virtue signalling, and assorted other liberal shibboleths.
Redstone’s media empire includes MTV and Comedy Central, which unceasingly
mock Christianity and spread LGBT propaganda, and other liberal America hatred.
She is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, an observant Jew,
and a supporter of Israel, who says she’s been “reeling” since Oct. 7.
But oddly enough, Redstone still had the PC cojones to make sure
Hollywood’s Black artists were obeisant witnesses to her “grief.”
Yet, despite Redstone’s efforts, we still haven’t heard Hollywood Blacks condemn the Hamas attack.
How better to capture the arrogance and assumed superiority of the Left?
Elitists to their very core.
