List of celebrities/authors/other famous people to boycott?
Edited on Fri Dec-24-04 06:56 AM by Carl Yasutomo
I can think of two names offhand:

Mel Gibson
Michael Crichton (author of State of Fear)

Edited to add: Dennis Miller

I will never watch another Mel Gibson movie or read another Crichton book.

What other famous people are supporting nutty right wing arguments? I want to know so I can boycott them. They seem to be growing in number, and we have to take action to stop them.

3. Colin Quinn--not that he has any work to boycott
I just found out that Mari Winsor's, (pilates instructor to the stars)
tape/dvd proceeds support the GOP from one of the blue sites. I'm pissed! So don't buy Guthy Renker products.

Arnold Schwarzenneger

Maria Shriver (guilty by association) If she hadn't married the goon, he may not have been in the position to even run for office in CA. So I'm holding her accountable, too.

Any celebrity that allows themselves to become a spokesperson for a company that is known (to us) to support the GOP. They can kiss our support goodbye!

4. Ron Silver
His mouth should lead him to a career as a street performer in Camden NJ. Where he enjoys very mediocre success.

Not that I was planning on running out and viewing her entire body of work anyway. But she has publically declared that she wouldn't trust an atheist with anything. I take that a bit personally.

7. You would resort to liberal blacklisting ????

I appreciate the work of Mel Gibson on it's merit. I shun Dennis Miller because ... he sucks!!!

I don't think it's healthy for people to boycott and pillory Barbara Streisand for their political viewpoints. I don't think we should do the same thing to conservatives.
