Responding to a Hollywood Reporter story about an upcoming Beverly Hills fundraiser for the President, Will & Grace star Eric McCormack is calling for blacklist of Donald Trump supporters.
“Hey, @THR, kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with. Thx,” Eric McCormack tweeted on Friday.

The actor was immediately called out on social media over his call for a blacklisting.

Actor Isaiah Washington sent a message to Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey asking if McCormack’s tweet is acceptable.
“Hey @jack is this tweet openly threatening to “blacklist” American Citizens in Hollywood okay for the good of society? Just asking for a friend,” Washington said.
“How wonderfully fascist of you @EricMcCormack!” wrote actress Maeve Quinlan. “Yes, how dare anyone in a FREE COUNTRY actually be FREE to support someone that you don’t or have an opinion that differs from yours. Anyone that doesn’t get in line with your opinion should absolutely be blacklisted from work.”
Kristy Swanson, star of the 1992 movie “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” wrote, “Oh my goodness Mr. McCormack. I personally have never ever NOT worked with someone just because I had a difference with them politically. It’s absolutely heartbreaking that you would say something like this & then ask The Hollywood Reporter to get on board with you (so sad).”
Lawyer Ron Coleman had a simple yet powerful reply.
McCormack’s anti-Trump attitude is nothing new. In 2016, the sitcom actor said he would only perform at Trump’s inauguration if he had “a lobotomy” and his “whole brain removed from my head.”
The Trump fundraiser is scheduled for September 17 and will not even be hosted by any celebrities. According to the Hollywood Reported, fulfilling those duties will be “Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, RNC co-chairman Tommy Hicks Jr., campaign manager Brad Parscale and Trump Victory finance chairman Todd Ricketts.”

Ron Coleman’s Joseph McCarthy meme is the most apropos. Beginning in 1947, the congressional “House Committee on Un-American Activities” led by Sen. McCarthy, bullied actors and other member of the Hollywood community over their political affiliations, believing they were associated with or inspired by communists.
It was the midst of the Cold War, and Washington politicians took it upon themselves to decide what opinions could and could not be expressed, which led to a blacklisting of many actors and others who worked in the movie industry.
Hollywood has long used this as an example of conservative forces behaving in a fascist manner and squashing freedom of speech.
Is it now okay for liberal Hollywood to act like fascists, so long as the target is this President? Is it now accepted that liberal actors can suppress the free speech of conservative actors, so long as it’s in the name of opposing Donald Trump?
Eric McCormack seems to think so.

Liberal Canadians go home!
Mccormick? What was he in and why should I care? Wasn't he Obama's body man?
I wouldn't worry about who you are willing to work with. If you keep up the trash talk about the President, either no one will work with you, or no one will watch anything you are in.
EXACTLY!!!
And just look at the relgious prosecution going on in the middle East and BIG time in China. The press will no cover it!
They advise and support aborting and killing babies, and are indignat if anyone suggests otherwise, while their pcitures with huge baby bumps (for publiocty I beleive) are plastered all over every magazine. Has anyone else noticed that they are pushing them out at an annual rate, in some cases and getting paid millions by magazines for the picutures? More of the do as I say, not as a I do stuff.
Wasn't their so called "sit com" cancelled? If so, no one need worry about working with a has been who doesn't have a job. Those who are working ..maybe they should apply the same standard to him?

Agreed, this is from wikipedia: "Joseph McCarthy[2] who, as a U.S. Senator, had no direct involvement with this House committee.[3] McCarthy was the chairman of the Government Operations Committee and its Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the U.S. Senate, not the House."
House UnAmerican Activites, wikipedia
It was the Dems who tried to blackwash McCarthy hearings. I"m all for free speech and I support it very strongly - except in cases of treason and sedition. Communism is treason and anyone supporting it needs to be dealt with and put in prison or some such. We let the Commies off too much in the 1950s and now - here we are, dealing with the Communist Dems. We need McCarthy hearings again.
