Contributions Shareholder Proposal at Disney Annual Meeting; Disney CEO Outs Politics Ahead of Profits, Mutual Fund Says

Washington DC, March 10, 2009 - The Free Enterprise Action Fund (Ticker: FEAOX) is presenting a shareholder proposal at the Walt Disney Company annual meeting today to increase transparency regarding Disney’s political contributions. The FEAOX believes that Disney CEO Bob Iger’s refusal to sell the DVD of ABC-TV miniseries “The Path to 9/11” evidences his liberal political views that conflict with shareholders interests.

I am mortified that people on the right are so out of touch with reality that they think people who believe in Green are the new Reds?

The Far Right and the Heritage Foundation has fell off the Table of lunacy.

1. Look at Russia and Romania. Communists don't give a damn about the environment. nt

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. actually, that's not true

once a problem became obvious, the USSR would deal with it fairly quickly. Of course, the problem had to become OBVIOUS, because the hierarchical system of authority and responsibility often meant that the lower aparatchniks were too afraid to admit to a mistake

[Captain Hilts]

6. I lived there. It's disgustingly filthy. nt

[Enthusiast]

9. That should be evidence enough.

Their legacy of pollution is one of the world's worst. If environmental concern was evidence of communist ideology we could see it.

[emulatorloo]

2. Seriously, if Disney thought it could make money selling that piece of Bush-Porn, it would

I just don't think that many people would be interested in buying “The Path to 9/11” -- better fantasies are "Beauty and the Beast" and "Toy Story."

[Turborama]

3. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that...

"Going Green" gives companies a competitive marketing edge and saves them money through efficiency.

I don't get what's 'communist' about that?

[Lena inRI]

5. ". . .has fallen off the. . .

NOT "has fell off"

YOUR grammar is way off the table.

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[Stinger2]

7. I am not hear to pass a grammar or punctuation test, just give you the facts.

[Karenina]

16. Are the two mutually exclusive?

:shrug:

[TankLV]

14. I thought it was "felt off"...

or is it "falled-off"...at least that's how the REPUKES say it...

[vinylsolution]

8. The last thing corporate America wants....

.... is a thriving green movement, a strong Green Party, or green energy, green jobs, or any kind of 'green revolution'.

To them, smokestacks = profit, and nothing must derail their filthy gravy train.

The fossil fools are in their last throes, and it's hilarious watching them drown in their own bile.

10. This has been their policy since 1993

Jacques, Peter.
The Rearguard of Modernity: Environmental Skepticism as a Struggle of Citizenship
Global Environmental Politics - Volume 6, Number 1, February 2006, pp. 76-101

The MIT Press

Peter Jacques* Environmental skepticism doubts the importance and reality of environmental problems, but it is not about science. It is about politics -- global politics to be specific.

Environmental skepticism denies the reality and importance of mainstream global environmental problems. However, its most important challenges are in its civic claims which receive much less attention. These civic claims defend the basis of ethical authority of the dominant social paradigm. The article explains how political values determine what skeptics count as a problem. One such value described is “deep anthropocentrism,” or the attempt to split human society from non-human nature and reject ecology as a legitimate field of ethical concern. This bias frames what skeptics consider legitimate knowledge. The paper then argues that the contemporary conservative countermovement has marshaled environmental skepticism to function as a rearguard for a maladaptive set of core values that resist public efforts to address global environmental sustainability. As such, the paper normatively argues that environmental skepticism is a significant threat to efforts to achieve sustainability faced by human societies in a globalizing world.

The abstract doesn't begin to do justice to the way this paper traces and documents the link between environmental skepticism and conservative ideology. It also gives a great overview of how it fits into the conservative need for an enemy following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the loss of the "Communist menace" boogeyman.

11. The difference between a Wisconsin Loon and a Far Right Lunacy is the Environment!

All About Loons

Since 1978, the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute has recorded information on the common loon. A loon’s location of breeding, number of adults and young, and time of residence on particular waterways are crucial for determining the loon’s status and survival rate in Wisconsin. In spring and summer, Siguard Olsen Environmental staff and volunteers throughout the state help achieve project goals by monitoring loon populations on lakes and reporting valuable nesting information. It’s not an easy life for the common loon. Nesting sites are gradually being decreased because of shoreline development. Harassment (both intentional and unintentional ) by lake users has regrettably added to mortality. Both air and land pollution have decreased the loon’s chance for survival.

12. 1000 talk radio stations have been pounding this propaganda into a

crowd the size of the one that voted for obama for years.

i am continually amazed that unions and progressive groups don't use a regular strategy to complain, boycott, and picket the local RW talk radio stations that form the backbone of the opposition to their causes and politicians.

a single local RW blowhard repeating chamber of commerce and GOP talking points can undo the work of thousands of citizens volunteering a few hours or bucks here and there and this has been happening since reagan killed the fairness doctrine and they grew their monopoly.

biggest political mistake of our time has been liberals and dems ignoring the talk radio monopoly

[depakid]

13. Without divestment and restoration of broadcast regulation

there's not a whole lot folks can do to counter the constant reinforcement of dyfunctionl beliefs thrpugh lies (false statements of fact) and propaganda.

Perhaps somewhere down the line, the FCC will get a clue.

[certainot]

15. talk radio's success as as a dominating propaganda tool relies on its invisibility

to those it attacks constantly. it has been totally ignored even though monitoring it regularly would tell dem strategists and politicians what the GOP was planning because it almost always does the groundwork for whatever they're planning. unfortunately liberals and dems just turn the dial.
