Blacklisting of Conservative Hollywood Celebrities

This morning on the Laura Ingraham talk radio show, a caller who claimed she was the mother of a popular Hollywood comedy sitcom star (who remained nameless) mentioned that the voices of some right-wing or conservative celebrities, including her son's, were being stifled due to some blacklisting of those who go against the John Kerry line.

This woman's son is afraid to speak his mind, though she says she is trying to encourage him to make his beliefs public.

It's particularly troublesome when a group of individuals, ie, the Hollywood "elite", do not heed the basic tenets of our constitution's Bill of Rights. So, basically in this case, gays can come out of the closet in Hollywood and be embraced, but God help you if you're conservative. I sense double standards.

So, instead, we see prolific gamblers and womanizers like Ben Affleck...such wonderful role models and examples for the Democrats...campaigning on the road with John Kerry and John Edwards. John Kerry says this campaign is about values, so there you have his.
