John Kerry's Dirty Liberal Hollywood Connection!
George C. Landrith
When I was a young boy, my mother taught me to choose my friends and
associates carefully and warned me to that others would judge me by
the company I kept. This is almost universal advice and I suspect that
John Kerry's mother gave him similar warnings. But apparently, John
did not listen. Kerry's friends, supporters and associates include
some very troubling and extreme people.
The Hollywood Left, for example, just hosted a $5 million fundraiser
for Kerry in Los Angeles. The same people, who glorify and sell sex,
violence, and counterculture values to our children, endorse John
Kerry and his leadership.
Barbara Streisand sang old favorites and told the crowd, who paid up
to $25,000 each to attend, that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
is "the spookiest person in the world." John Kerry and the Hollywood
crowd heartily approved. However, to most Americans, even those who
have questions about Bush's policies or Rumsfeld's implementation of
them, the threat of terrorism is far more "spooky" than a man who has
served his country twice as Secretary of Defense. Most Americans
understand that we are fighting a war on terror in the terrorist's
backyard so that the battle is not fought on America's streets.
Those who hope to never see another day like September 11th are mighty
glad that Mr. Rumsfeld is scary to terrorists. Being scary to
terrorists is a good thing. This simple truth completely escaped
Barbara Streisand, John Kerry and his adoring Hollywood supporters. It
also escapes the French and other foreign leaders whose support John
Kerry claims.
But Hollywood's support doesn't end with fundraising. After much
hoopla, Michael Moore's anti-Bush propaganda movie, Fahrenheit 9/11,
opened in theatres. Moore calls it a "documentary," but in just the
first few minutes of the movie, Moore's deception reaches breathtaking
heights. First, Moore claims that Bush stole the presidency and that
Gore won in Florida. Yet, several news organizations counted and
recounted every single ballot in Florida and each time Bush still won.
These are the indisputable facts and they were available to Moore, but
he simply ignored them.
Second, Moore falsely claims that Bush allowed bin Laden relatives to
return to Saudi Arabia shortly after 9/11 on secret flights when the
rest of the nation was grounded. However, Bush did no such thing.
Richard Clarke, who now bashes Bush for the war on terror, admits he,
not Bush, approved the flights. Moore liberally uses Clark's anti-Bush
statements when they support his conspiracy theories, but when Clark's
testimony doesn't support his objectives, Moore edits Clark out of the
movie. Moore doesn't allow the truth to get in his way.
The New York Times printed that Moore's movie was "an editorial
cartoon." The Los Angeles Times said, "It is propaganda, no doubt
about it." The Washington Post said the movie was "threaded … with
cheap shots" and was essentially a "cartoon." The reviewer "was
troubled by the cheapness of Moore's interviewing techniques." Fox
News' Bill O'Reilly called it "rank propaganda." Even Michael more
offers no defense, saying, "I'm not trying to pretend that this is
some sort of, you know, fair and balanced work of journalism."
In the Left-leaning Slate Magazine, Christopher Hitchens wrote, "To
describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to
promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this
film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that
would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an
exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit
9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as
an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political
cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of ‘dissenting' bravery."
John Kerry counts as friends people who are more afraid of Donald
Rumsfeld than murderous terrorists. Kerry's friends are people who
have more anger towards the President than those who plot to kill,
maim and behead Americans. Kerry has wide support in Hollywood where
America-hating is not just sport, it is a badge of honor. The "blame
America first crowd" is part of Kerry's bedrock of support. Streisand,
Moore and Kerry's nameless foreign leader friends are only a few
examples. This is the crowd that supports Kerry - anti-American
foreign leaders and Hollywood extremists. What does that tell us about
John Kerry? What would your mother say?
