“Not Give A Dime Anymore”: Hollywood Cuts Off Donations To Obama Re-Election Campaign For Opposition To SOPA

January 19th, 2012 (24) Posted By Pat Dollard.

EXCLUSIVE: Internet sites on their SOPA-Strike may be conducting a blackout but Hollywood studios are conducting a boycott. I’ve learned that Hollywood studio chiefs individually and as a group are drawing a line in the sand on the piracy issue with the Obama re-election campaign and refusing to give any more donations. The blowup came after President Obama on Saturday dashed moguls’ hopes that he would remain on the sidelines in the dispute over the U.S. House Of Representatives’ Stop Online Piracy Act and the U.S. Senate’s Protect IP Act. In a posting on the White House web site, three of the Obama administration’s top officials for Internet and intellectual property matters said that they share many of the concerns that the Internet community has about the Hollywood-supported bills. The trio said that they “will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.” Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Victoria Espinel, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra, and Special Assistant to the President Howard Schmidt tried to soften the blow to Hollywood by acknowledging that that online piracy is “a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response.” They added that they plan to host an online event “to get more input” on the matter. But Hollywood moguls told me they “didn’t know it was going to be as over the top as it was” and took this as a declaration of war. “We just feel very let down by the administration and Obama for not supporting us,” one studio chief explained to me. “At least let him remain neutral and not go against it until we can get the legislation right. But Obama went against it. I’m personally not going to support him anymore and not give a dime anymore,” another movie mogul who’s also a well-known Obama supporter told me this week.

I would think more positively of this but, hasn’t obama already had several $38,000 -a-plate dinners held by Hollywood elites and stars? They could still funnel money to him under the table couldn’t they? I think they are likely to send him MORE money! A boycott by the crapweasel Hollywood oba-minions doesn’t mean anything IMO. Are BHO’s failed policies getting a little too close for Hollywood comfort? Just desserts! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!

Just talk – these people have no morals or ethics. In a month from now, they’ll be back to the lavish parties and fundraisers.

Barack doesn’t care about freedoms on the internet or anywhere else. He’s not in support of SOPA because Holly wood HAS NOT GIVEN ENOUGH MONEY to his campaign. When they cross his fundraising goals, he’ll change his mind.

I don’t go to movies and I watch mostly OLD television shows on MeTV. I could do without television again as I have in the past. Hollywood is irrelevant … just like a poor remake of an old classic movie. ~~~~ Auntie Coosa

Who cares? Hollywood is so far left/liberal now that I can’t remember the last time I paid to see a movie. What they really should be frightened about is that my children find Hollywood insulting, along with the actors, and have a growing animosity toward them. Let them go broke. I could care less.
