Angered by the film’s perceived liberal bias, some conservative commentators are urging audiences to boycott it.
As Sony analyzes the disastrous box-office performance of White House Down, one interest group is celebrating the studio’s pain: conservative commentators who have been attacking the film as thinly disguised left-wing propaganda. Some, in fact, have been encouraging their audiences to boycott the movie, which stars Jamie Foxx as a liberal president under attack from pro-military types who object to the commander-in-chief’s plan to withdraw troops from the Middle East.“If you spend one damn cent on this crap, you’re spitting on our troops,” wrote Kurt Schlichter atTownhall.com on Monday. “Repeat after me, conservatives: Not one damn cent.”
Schlichter, a veteran of Desert Storm and the NATO Kosovo campaign of the 1990s, reminded readers that Foxx once compared President Barack Obama to Jesus. He wrote that White House Down is evidence that, “In the eyes of Hollywood, the military is an all-white, all-male organization so dedicated to unfocused imperialism that it is willing to commit mass murder of fellow Americans for the chance to die in some Middle East hellhole.”

On a personal note. I would peel Jamie Fox like an orange if given the chance, I can't stand the bastard.
