"Law & Order" actor Michael Moriarty "stalked" by Janet Reno

[45semi]

Golden Globe, Emmy, and Tony Award winning actor, writer, and musician as well as conservative patriot, Michael Moriarty recently announced his interest in running for President of the United States in 2008 on John Cox's Progressive Conservative radio talk show, based in Chicago.

In 1993, Moriarty gained notoriety amongst conservatives during his public battle with former Attorney General Janet Reno. Moriarty was an outspoken critic of her efforts to curb violence on television, in which she threatened to intervene if television executives didn’t comply with her demands.

According to Moriarty, he was essentially blackballed by NBC and slowly written out of the series because of his outspoken criticisms of Reno. Eventually, Moriarty departed from "Law & Order" and politically-exiled himself to Canada.

Moriarty has continued his acting career and gained attention in Canada as being an outspoken critic of their oppressive tax system, strict gun-control laws and taxpayer-funded health-care system.

Q: In 1993 you stood up to (then) Attorney General Reno and publicly criticized her assault on the First Amendment, which eventually lead to you being pushed out of your role as Ben Stone on "Law & Order." Tell us about this meeting, what was her reaction to you and the issues you raised?


MORIARTY: Janet Reno’s response to me was a “Stake-out.” I had basically told the entire Clinton administration to take a hike; they were breaking the Constitution of the United States. The FBI stalked me at my usual steakhouse, Gallaghers in Manhattan. Cops of all sorts hang out there. The FBI was so obvious to me that they got upset that I could identify them so quickly.


Then, at another bistro of mine, Patsy’s on 56th street, the CIA showed up, four of them. They are very sophisticated and witty. They asked me, “Michael, who do you want to leave the United States?” I repeated my estimation of the Clinton Administration and said I’m not intimidated by the threat of being “road kill.”


So, that was the “response” of Janet Reno to my exposure of her obvious unconstitutional behavior. She had waltzed into Waco with her Federal posse and basically told the governor to get out of the way. Then she assaults Colorado at Ruby Ridge and kills two members of a free North American family. That is blatant Soviet federalism; rather like the condition we have up here in Canada. Finally, she hands the child of an émigré from Havana, Elian Gonzales, over to a dictator named Fidel Castro.

I kind of suspected he was a conservative even though he played a bedwetting lib on L&O

Seriously, even the most liberal person has to shake their head at some of the tactics used on Mr. Moriarity!

To add insult to injury, didn't Little Miss Reno run for Gov. of Florida?

What nerve!
