A List of REPUG celebrities!!!

[UdoKier]

I was so disappointed to read some of these. Some are rather hard to believe.

If you can debunk some of them, it would be great. I hate to think these are all right!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Republican_celebrities#Actors

[Hello_Kitty]

1. Jessica Simpson....'nuff said. n/t

[UdoKier]

3. Britney's in there too, of course.

My wife calls her "Slutney".

I was annoyed by her the first time I saw how she spells her name.

I hate cutesy spellings of traditional names!

Jeni, Syndee, etc.

[RoyGBiv]

12. Weird one ...

One could wonder if Britney is a Republican or just an idio...

Oh, wait ... same thing. Never mind.

[tcfrogs]

2. Weird list, although I believe it

Can't vouch for all on the list - but can't refute any yet...

[Maddy McCall]

4. James Earl Jones? Vincent Gallo?

Vince Vaughn? Matthew McConaughey?

[UdoKier]

9. McConaughey REALLY surprised me.

I'm guessing he falls on the more libertarian end...

Vaughn always struck me as a bit of an ass. Good performer, though.

[last_texas_dem]

20. I think McConaughey...

...was caught on camera as one of the actors who booed Michael Moore when he made the "fictional war" speech. I remember reading that on here but not seeing it; I think someone mentioned he's a * supporter.

I do know that John Popper of Blues Traveler is a libertarian rather than a Repug, although they note at the top of the list that it does include libertarians.

[UdoKier]

22. Well, that ruins McConaghey for me.

I thought he was cool after "Dazed and Confused". After all, Austin is a great liberal town. At least it was - it's turning into yuppie hell lately...

[Maddy McCall]

40. He's from Longview, Texas...

It's pretty far right on the political spectrum.

[AnnitaR]

47. Nooooooooooooooo not Matthew!!!

Damn just ruined my fucking day! I looovvvvve him!

Are we absolutely sure he's a Puke????

Damn!

[tcfrogs]

11. I have read that Gallo & Vaughn are R's

Don't know about Jones & MM

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

127. Vincent Gallo is a FROTHING republican

but I suspect he does it just to be an asshole

[flamingyouth]

5. I was disappointed and somewhat surprised by Ron Howard

But he did play Opie. And Richie Cunningham.:shrug:

[cmkramer]

35. Fret not

Ron is a Democrat. He was a big contributor to the Clinton Defense Fund.

Actually, I always thought he was a Republican too, but he's not.

[saracat]

49. You are right.He is Dem.

[Guaranteed]

6. Not Scott Baio!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

[RoyGBiv]

7. Note the sources...

Newsmax, Freep, and a site called "laughatliberals" are three of them.

With some of these, I don't think this is a heavily researched bit of information. Only the political fundraising site has any credibility.

[The Night Owl]

14. I don't buy this list. I think it might be screwed up. (NT)

[UdoKier]

17. It does say it includes libertarians and independents who LEAN repuke.

So it may not be.

Also, there's no accounting for each celebs' opinions since they were entered on the list.


So there's no guarantee of accuracy.

Stephen Baldwin is true. What an idiot.

[MisterP]

111. Wikipedia--"In one ear and out the other"

[The Night Owl]

8. Clint Eastwood is a Republican?

I thought Eastwood was a Dem.

[UdoKier]

13. I think he was a centrist repub when he ran Carmel.

Haven't heard anything on his politics in years.

His Dirty Harry films always indicated that a shooting spree was the best way to deal with conflicts...

[The Night Owl]

16. I guess I assumed Eastwood was a Dem because of Mystic River.

[UdoKier]

18. He may have switched or gone independent.

The GOP has changed a LOT since the 80's, and Eastwood is an intelligent guy.

[ProfessorGAC]

83. I Think He's Probably A Liberterian

He's not that conservative. I think his repub leanings are more based on his belief in a non-intrusive, non-interfering gov't, more than any socially conservative things. The Bio channel had 2 hours on him not too long ago, and just hearing him talk would make me think that. Can't prove it, just a hunch.
The Professor

[VOX]

108. I think this is the case. He came to Tim Robbins'/Susan Sarandon's defense

last year when the Baseball Hall of Fame cancelled a screening of "Bull Durham" at which the couple wre to appear.

Eastwood ripped the Hall for doing this, saying, among other things, "How dare they!"

[drhilarius]

10. John Malkovich?

Well, I'll still love "Being JM".

[Screaming Lord Byron]

58. Malkovich holds some pretty ludicrous political beliefs.

He threatened a Scottish MP with death.

[Nomad559]

67. John Malkovich

I really doubt that John Malkovich Is a RePUGlican, he lives In France, and he Is an Atheist.

:evilgrin:

http://www.celebatheists.com/entries/atheist_22.html#0

[Screaming Lord Byron]

73. Check this out then, from the BBC no less.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/1967317.stm

[last_texas_dem]

15. One uncertain one

Unless there is more information that I'm not aware of, I'd figure Merle Haggard is included because of his early-seventies material like "The Fightin' Side of Me" and his redneck anthem "Okie from Muskogee." However, Haggard has pointed out in interviews that "Okie from Muskogee" is actually a tongue-in-cheek poke at the type of things he and his band heard the locals saying in OK whenever they were touring in the area. (It's a pretty convincing one, though; I would never have assumed it was a joke- and it was a massive country chart-topper, so it obviously fooled a number of people...) Also, Haggard recently released a song protesting the media and its slanted coverage that helped cheer on the war in Iraq. So while Haggard may historically have been a Republican, I'm pretty certain he's not a supporter of Shrub!

[Protected]

19. Ernest Borgnine!

Ah well, at least I haven't seen him out there whoring for Bush.

[JohnnyRingo]

25. OH NO !!....Not the skipper of the "73"

As a child, I always looked up to him on "McHales Navy"
When the "Nips" would strafe, he could always get the crew into safe waters.

Oh wait....That was just TV he also starred in "That Poseiden movie", I guess he still doesn't know shit about common sense.

[LosinIt]

21. Chaka Khan?? Say it ain't so

I am so disappointed in her if true.

[UdoKier]

28. She performed at the 2000 GOP convention!

http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1122656/07312000/khan_chaka.jhtml

:cry:


Oh wait, she also sang at the deomocratic convention!

http://launch.yahoo.com/read/news.asp?contentID=170565

Says she has "sympathies with both sides."

Her fans at her website say she's "apolitical" right now...

But apparently the Bushes really like her.

[redqueen]

76. Anyone who's 'apolitical' at this point in time...

Oh screw it it's too early for this.

:grr:

[bluestateguy]

23. List looks to have errors in it

Melissa Gilbert is of the liberal wing of the SAG. Her donation record hardly marks her as a "Republican celebrity"

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=gilbert&first=melissa

Tom Berenger? Bullshit.

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=SC&last=Berenger&first=Tom

Kevin Costner? Not really. Considering his other contributions, I don't think his contributions to Phil Gramm 10-15 years ago quite cuts it to call him a Republican partisan.

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=costner&first=kevin

Hank Aaron? No. And his contributions to Zell Miller were made before zig-zag Zell went wacko.

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=GA&last=Aaron&first=Henry

I don't have time to do them all, but about a quarter of them look suspect to me.

[UdoKier]

30. Thanks for the research.

I'll bookmark "newsmeat".

[cmkramer]

24. List is not accurate

Kevin Costner isn't a Republican although he was grew up in a Republican family. He's supported both Democratic and Republican candidates -- he's friendly with the Bushes and the Clintons -- and I know he attended at least one John Kerry fundraiser this year.

Melissa Gilbert is a liberal Democrat although her husband is conservative. I think he may be a Libertarian though.

Ron Silver is a Democrat and actually pretty liberal except for his stance on the war in Iraq.

Ron Howard is a Democrat.

I don't know that Rachel Hunter is even an American citizen, much less a Republican or a Democrat.

[tcfrogs]

26. Ron Silver, for what it's worth, is now firmly behind Bush

Was at the Repug Convention, changed his affiliation after 9/11...

[cmkramer]

34. Not sure about that

I know he supports Bush's re-election but he has also said that he will definitely be on the other side on most of the major issues like pro-choice, stem cell research, etc.

This may shock many of you :-) but in a general election you're not obligated to vote for the candidate of your party. A Democrat can vote for a Republican and vice-versa.

[TSIAS]

27. I don't buy this list

I don't see any evidence offered up to support their claims.

One name that jumped out at me is Regis Philbin. He donated to Bradley and I think he supported Hillary in 2000.

[samplegirl]

29. George Clooney

Helping to Support his father for Senate

[UdoKier]

31. Does that count? He's totally anti-Bush.

However, if my dad was running for office as a repuke, I would PUBLICLY oppose him. No keeping quiet like Cheney's daughter...

[cmkramer]

32. Nick Clooney

George Clooney's father is running as a Democrat.

[UdoKier]

33. Thank you!

Sounded dodgy.

[cmkramer]

37. You're welcome and by the way

Did any of you catch the documentary Tuesday night on AMC about Republicans in Hollywood? Vince Gallo, Patricia Heaton, John Milius, and Pat Sajak -- among others -- were interviewed. I'm sure it will re-run soon.

[UdoKier]

39. No, but I can just imagine it.

All the overpaid stars, whining about how they're "ostracized" in liberal H'wood. Oh, and how their huge paycchecks are overtaxed.:nopity:

[cmkramer]

41. Oddly enough

No,there wasn't a lot of that. Patricia Heaton did say that she once spoke up about how much she and her husband admired Bush at a dinner party and that the reaction was as if she had "crapped on the table" and Pat Sajak said that many celebrities keep quiet about their conservative leanings because it can affect your publicity in terms of whatparties or industry events you get invited to. The only one who said he had definitely lost work because of his conservatism was John Milius.

[SidDithers]

118. Pat Sajak is a complete wingnut...

He's on the board of Eagle Publishing, the parent company of Regnery - and we know the kinds of books they publish.
Sid

[DavidFL]

36. Denzel a Republican?

I wonder if that's based on an e-mail that's been going around, which was completely made up and claimed Katie Couric and Glenn Close savaged Denzel during a Dateline NBC interview for being a Republican and Christian (those atheist Commie pinko "liberal" media harpies, you know). What a surprise when I Googled the transcript of the interview it showed no such thing. Denzel didn't even mention what his political affiliation is during the entire interview.

[faithnotgreed]

109. that may be meryl streep & that would explain their little on air tiff

during manchurian candidate interview recently. slight but there

[cmkramer]

132. Could be

In fact, I'm guessing that not a few of the names on the list are there either because they were critical of Bill Clinton or because they made somewhat supportive statements about either the war in Iraq or about supporting the troops.

I'm still wondering how Melissa Gilbert got on there.

[realisticphish]

38. another reason to hate dr. phil

in a way, im relieved hes a repuke...

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[PittLib]

42. Sydney Pollack plays Will Truman's dad ...

On will & Grace - talk about biting the hand... (Edit) I lied. Should have done the research first. Kerry supporter. This list is shit.

[tcfrogs]

43. Some of these are way wrong

check out Newsmeat.com, or net, or something like that...

[PittLib]

44. Franco Harris is total bullshit too ...

I saw him at a Kerry rally in PA - and introduced Kerry the day he announced Edwards as his running mate in Pittsburgh. Big children's advocate.

[Wheaty]

136. Franco Harris

Yeah I'm assuming they think Franco is a Repuke because he supported the DelGrosso kid going against Shuster in the republican primaries here in central PA this year.

But he and the DelGrosso family have been tight for years. He was just supporting his buddy's kid who happened to be a repuke.

But Franco is all Democrat. He's a big Kerry/Edwards supporter

[PittLib]

45. Barkley (supported Edwards), Danza, Joan Allen, Tom Berenger...

Clint Eastwood, Ron Howard, Stallone (switch hitter) all bullshit. At worst, some of these switch. On the other hand, the Walton family gave $105,000 (between 5 of them) to the RNC this June. As if we needed another reason NOT to shop at Wal-Mart.

[ComerPerro]

46. Interesting fact about James Caviezel:

He played Jesus Christ AND Edmond Dantes...

Interesting, no?

Two wrongly persecuted individuals who react in VERY different ways.

But both realize in the end that vengeance belongs to God alone...

Hmm...

[saracat]

48. I can debunk some of the past celebs.Jimmy Cagney

raised money for the repugs abnd so did Mickey Rooney!I am suspicious of Dennis Quaid and they must be deperate to put in Rob Lowe.

[saracat]

130. I looked Dennis Quaid IS a Dem!

[terrya]

50. Jason Priestley is CANADIAN, dammit. He's not supporting ANY...

American politicians.

This list is such utter bullshit. Whoever came up with it was on some serious drugs.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

59. Gretsky's there too.

But, off the ice he's an idiot. Anyone who's seen him whore his reputation in all those ads of late would believe he was a Repub.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

60. Any confirmation on Forman, Friedkin, Lynch and Zemeckis?

David Lynch?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

62. HA! MIKE LOVE IS A REPUB! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!

The most hated man in rock and roll.

This is a great deal. We get Brian, they can have Mike.

What about Van Morrison, though? Is he even a US citizen? That seems a little odd.

[terrya]

68. It's comparable to Hillary Duff supporting Stephen Harper.

But then, I can't imagine Hillary Duff doing much of anything, so I guess that's a bad analogy.

[RebelOne]

51. I'm heartbroken. Some of my favorite actors and actresses

are on that list.

[Bridget Burke]

52. Please check the other messages in this thread.

The list is not to be trusted.

[no_hypocrisy]

53. Wayne Rogers & Jamie Farr from MASH? And Dennis Hopper?

Well, maybe they're RINO's, just registered arbitrarily and always vote democratic.

[nuxvomica]

137. Wayne Rogers has donated to the Kerry Campaign

He had donated to Bush* in 1999 though. Interesting, considering the guy's an investment guru. But check out this link:
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=ROGERS&first=WAYNE
He appears to have donated 2Gs to Bush* and took 1G back. :shrug:

[Beware the Beast Man]

54. This list is BS

Half of the celebs on this list are either out & out Dem contributors, or centrist.

[LynneSin]

55. Joan Allen? I don't think so

She's a major supporter of pro-choice causes. I highly doubt she's a repuke.

Also, I'm a little peeved that they lump the libertarians in with the republicans. If you ask a libertarian if they support bush they usually go :grr:

[Corgigal]

56. Gary Sinese

and Derek Jeter? I don't think so. I can't find anything on Jeter anywhere but Gary Sinese is a long time friend of Tom Hanks, who certainly a Dem.

Yeah , I think this is a wishful list.

[pstokely]

125. he appeared at one of Hannity's pro-war country music concerts

nt

[LynneSin]

57. THIS LIST IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!

Robert Zemecki:
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?city=LOS+ANGELES&st=CA&last=Zemeckis&first=Robert

And here's how I think Joan Allen got on the list:

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?city=LOS+ANGELES&st=CA&last=Allen&first=Joan

There are 2 Joan Allens in the Los Angeles area and one contributed to Bush. But the company that the Bush donator works for is MICHELS & COMPANY/SHOWROOM DESIGNER yet there is also a Joan Allen actress listed who gave to a democratic candidate. Joan Allen isn't exactly an uncommon name here folks.

:mad:

The list is bullshit - you can look up these folks on NewsMeat or Open Secret and find out who they really contributed to

[Screaming Lord Byron]

65. Thanks Lynne, I was sure Zemeckis was a Democrat.

[LynneSin]

61. Kevin Costner - without a doubt Democrat

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Costner&first=Kevin

For some bizzare reason Kevin did donate to Phil Gramm's president bid back in the mid-90's. But I highly doubt that Al Gore and John Kerry contributions make him a republican

[crimson333]

99. I heard him say he was a republican on Larry king

defending Tim Robbins and Susan Saradon when the were replaced at the baseball hall of fame for an event.

I am guessing he is more of an independent voter

[LynneSin]

119. He gave a donation to John Kerry in April 2004

Only time he seemed republican were those donations to Phil Gramm in the early 90's

[cmkramer]

133. Costner's politics

I recall reading some early biographical information about him that said he grew up in a conservative Republican family but that he switched to being an Independent when he was young due to the Viet Nam War. He seems to be skewing more Democrat these days.

I remember that he attended the 1996 Democratic Convention.

[LynneSin]

63. Dennis Hopper is misinformation on that list

I'm not sure where they got their information, but if they pulled it from NewsMeat/OpenSecrets they'll find that there is a Dennis Hopper who has donated big bucks to repuke candidates from Arizona:

He also owns ORA B HOPPER & SON INC. His wife has also contributed to repukes

[Screaming Lord Byron]

64. But the actor Dennis Hopper is also a Republican, sadly.

[LynneSin]

70. If he is a republican, he's never donated to any republicans

Unless I'm wrong and he's married to a housewife and lives in Arizona

[Screaming Lord Byron]

75. Well, I wouldn't put that past him.

The thing is about Hopper, is that he's been a little addled by his years of excess.

[cmkramer]

81. Al Franken

In one of his earlier books -- it might be "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot -- he wrote about attending the Washington Correspondents' Dinner following the takeover of Congress by the GOP. Anyway, apparently Dennis Hopper was a guest and Franken said that when Hopper saw Newt Gingrich he told him that he was a great man. I don't know that that proves he's a Republican but it's food for thought anyway.

[FunBobbyMucha]

113. Nope, Hopper is definitely a Repuke.

He was interviewed on Bob Costas' show on HBO and went into his political stance at great length, even recalling how he had once been a liberal hippie when he worked with John Wayne, and now he was the hawk instead of the dove. I saw this myself back in May of this year.

[LynneSin]

66. This is the truth about the list: It's crap and here's why

I've gone to newsmeat & opensecrets and pulled some of the names on that list and I'll find a TON of discrepencies.

There are 2 overwhelming reasons that some of these famous people have shown up on this list as 'republican supporters'

1. Sometime in the past 10 years, a celebrity may have contributed a few hundred dollars to a republican candidate. I found that with Kevin Costner, James Belushi, Robert Zemecki and Tom Berenger. But in most cases, the bulk of these donations were given to democratic causes.
   
2. Some of these names are common and the information is actually from other people with the same name. I know Joan Allen is a big supporter of women's issues so I was shocked to find her on the list. Until I found another Joan Allen in the Los Angeles area that donated to Bush. It 'seems' that Joan not only is an Oscar-nominated Actress, but a furniture designer to boot. Dennis Hopper, who works in his father's business in Arizona, and his homemaker wife have donated to McCain & Kyl of Arizona. I highly doubt this is the same Dennis Hopper actor who is married to another Hollywood Actress
   
   
   This list is crap. If they made a democratic version of this list then known Republicans like Dean Cain should be on the list because Cain actually gave some money to Bill Bradley once

[tom_paine]

69. Melissa Gilbert is NOT a Bushevik!

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Gilbert&first=Melissa

[mvd]

94. She gave to one Republican, so..

she may have been a Repuke a while back, but she obviously started thinking for herself and changed. :-)

[terrya]

71. Also, I got a very big chuckle of Tommy Tune as a Republican.

This list is so utterly, completely bogus. Humorous, if nothing else.

[LynneSin]

74. Don't you know - HRC is a republican organization

And btw, I'll be in Penthouse magazine next month

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=NY&last=Tune&first=Tommy

[Nomad559]

72. Tom Berenger Is a Dem

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=SC&last=Berenger&first=Tom

[LynneSin]

77. I can't figure out Berenger unless it's just stereotyping him

I mean, lets face it, Tom Berenger just looks like he'd be a repuke, coming from Georgia and all and now teetering on old time actor. But I've heard he's good friends with Max Cleland which is one of John Kerry's closest advisors.

Go figure!!

[JohnKleeb]

123. that explains why he donated to Max

Hey if I were Protestant, I would be part of the most republican demographic of all.

[redqueen]

78. Isn't wikipedia something that anyone can contribute to?

They may have a feedback page to alert them to BS like this.

[Nomad559]

79. Dennis Quaid

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Quaid&first=Dennis

[skypilot]

80. The fact that Republicans feel the need to...

...generate lists like this shows that they know, on some level, that they are not as in the mainstream as they like to pretend. These kinds of list smack of desperation and an attempt to offer assurances to other Repubs that they are not alone and that the pool of Bush supporting Republicans is much larger than it actually is.

[stlchic]

103. Besides, aren't all Hollywood types "elitists" ?

"Oh, well, we'll claim THESE people..."

I guess the label only applies if they don't agree with republican politics.

:crazy:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

82. I think we need to question some of these

<Joan Allen>

I’d be very surprised to discover that she’s a Republican. From what I’ve seen and read of her, she’s always appeared to be very liberal and progressive in her outlook. She also starred in Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” -which is a damning indictment of a Republican Administration if there ever was one. I know actresses don’t always choose their roles but even so, everything I know about her suggests that she’s not a Republican

<Nancy Cartwright>

She must be on this list because she donated heavily to a Republican congressional candidate in 1998. It’s possible that he may have been a moderate Republican, a personal friend or related to her in some way. She hasn’t contributed to anyone else and, judging from interviews with her, she certainly hasn’t come out in support of * or any of the other major league Republicans
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Cartwright&first=Nancy

<Kevin Costner>

Kevin Costner’s a Democrat. I’m very sure of it -he’s been identified as one and has made statements to that effect on more than one occasion


<Tom Clancy>

Clancy is a Repug by any definition but he also co-authored a book with Anthony Zinni in which the latter was critical of *’s foreign policy and conceded in a publicity interview afterward that he thought that * had messed up in Iraq

<Mel Gibson>

Conservative views on religion but has expressed reservations about the war with Iraq and was originally going to fund F9/11. Hard one to categorize

<Destiny’s Child>

Any evidence to support this? I think they played at *’s inaugural concert but that doesn’t necessarily make them Repugs.

<Andrew Lloyd Webber>

Andrew Lloyd Webber a Repug? Never heard that one before. Perhaps he’s a British Tory and so, therefore, he’s been classified as a Republican. The reality of course is very different. While the Tories do have ties with the GOP, it’s important to consider that a significant number of Tories consider * to be an extremist and dislike the ultra-right wing ideology of the neo-cons. Even the Tory leadership has clashed with * and Karl Rove because the White House became angry at the way that they were pursuing Tony Blair over the second Gulf War. I think more evidence is needed before classifying Lloyd Webber as a Republican.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

84. Andrew Lloyd Webber's a Tory.

A Thatcherite Tory. That's equivalent to a Repub.

[PittPoliSci]

85. list is plagued with inaccuracies.

i'm willing to say about 1 in 10 are wrong, maybe more.

[Marnieworld]

86. David Lynch? No f-ing way!

I do not know about his politics specifically but I find it hard to believe that someone with his body of work(which I worship by the way) would be attracted to the conservative party. Blue Velvet? Twin Peaks? Please.

[ghostsofgiants]

128. ...

I was thinking the same thing...

[Jade Fox]

139. Yep, he's a big ole long time Republican.

Which explains his creepy movies to me.

[peekaloo]

87. Horse puckey......Milos Forman IS NOT a Repuke.

List was compiled similar to the Florida voter purge.

[LynneSin]

93. The man who made Larry Flynt look like a First Amendment hero...

..can't be a repuke. (BTW, I love that movie too)

[sundog]

88. under journalists, it lists Lou Dobbs & Anderson Cooper

hmmm :shrug:

[Kid_A]

89. Who cares? I don't judge the worth of an actor musician by their politics.

Doing so makes us no different from the moron who runs PABAAH (Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood). He refuses to see any movie that stars a liberal actor, regardless of the quality of the film.

Just because Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Sinise, David Lynch, William Friedkin, and Milos Forman are Republicans doesn't mean I can't enjoy their movies anymore. I've always thought that liberals were mature enough to look past the political affiliation of people who don't hold office (I know I listed Arnold as a GOP celeb I still like, but he wasn't Governor when he made T2) and just appreciate the movies they make. If I were to avoid the actors I listed, I would never watch movies like PULP FICTION, DIE HARD, BRAVEHEART, THE SIXTH SENSE, SIGNS, THE EXORCIST, FORREST GUMP, TWIN PEAKS, MAN ON THE MOON, TERMINATOR 2, PREDATOR, RANSOM, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, UNBREAKABLE, etc, etc...

My love of good movies will always trump partisan bickering.

EDIT: The same thing goes for musicians. Even if Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears were Democrats, their music would still be terrible. And if Michael Stipe were a Republican, I would still love R.E.M. and would gladly give them my money for making excellent music.

[LynneSin]

114. kid_a, the point of this thread is the list is inaccurate

If you read many the post above here you'll see we have proof that folks on that list are about as republican as you are!!

Know what I mean!

[miss_kitty]

90. with the exception maybe 5

or less i would consider 'A' list celebs, most notably, Denzel Washington, i'd say you got a list of'B' and 'C' listers there.

i'm shocked and sad to see Leslie Nielson there...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

91. As far as I was aware, Leslie Nielsen supports the NDP.

Interestingly enough, his brother was a PC MP.

[chenGOD]

95. I dunno about his political affiliation...

But he went to the same high school as my brother. Not at the same time though.


sorry. I'll go back to the corner now.

[realisticphish]

138. that's ok

a little name-dropping now and then is ok ;)


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

101. Nope Nielsen is a Demo/Green

I saw him live at a meeting of Electric car owners in LA, he was pretty progressive and gave a great environmentalist speech. No way in hell an electric car driver who advocates conservation is a repug.

[chenGOD]

92. Dana Carvey is a repub? Really?

After his portrayals of Poppa Shrub and the Church lady, I find that pretty hard to swallow.

But hey truth can be stranger than fiction...

[skygazer]

96. Not exactly the "A" list, is it?

[Merrick]

97. Wilford Brimley a republican? Well, no more oatmeal for me, thanks!

seriously. let's everyone boycott oatmeal.
and I'm not wheeling my old granny to anymore of his crappy films!

[Merrick]

98. Well, I know brtiney spears is republican. After all, she said -

"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that"

Amen you stupid bitch.

[chenGOD]

100. I don't think she's a republican...just dumb.

She probably just thinks whoever is president is the right person for the job.

Not trying to defend her, just saying....

[Merrick]

122. A fail to see the distinction you're trying to make

what's the difference?

[AlFrankenFan]

102. Not Nancy Cartwright!

Or Dana Carvey! Or Norm MacDonald! OR JOHN ELWAY! OR ANDERSON COOPER AND LOU DOBBS (Well I guess it's not THAT surprising)!

Hehehe...Derek Jeter. I'm glad I called him a jackass when he ran into me then :P

[terrya]

104. All I know about Nancy Cartwright is that she's a Scientologist.

I don't know if that has any bearing on one's political beliefs.

The idea that Norm MacDonald is a Republican is completely laughable. The others you mention could be possible (and John Elway is a Bush supporter)

[JohnKleeb]

117. hah I cant believe you called him a jackass

Nancy Cartwright gave money to James Rogan, a Pasadena, Ca Republican according to newsmeat.

[sasquatch]

105. Sarah Michelle Gellar?!?! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!

:argh:

[sasquatch]

106. That list is about as accurate as Fox News

Franco Harris is a die hard democrat

[gollygee]

107. I read that Derek Jeter was at the DNC (m)

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/conventions/celeb_dnc/celeb_sightings/sightings5/

Report: James Carville, Derek Jeter and A-Rod at the Ritz-Carlton bar on Friday night.
By: Maggie, Kirsti and Kyle, Somerville

Report: I saw Joe Jaeger walking through the Public Garden at 4:30
By: Marty, Norwood

Report: I saw Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada leaving the Ritz Carlton on Newbury St. at around 4:00 on Sunday. They got into a cab and left. Moments later, as I walked around the corner, Mariano Rivera exited the side of the building, walked right past me, and got into a Lexus.

110. it would redeem jeter if he were a dem, especially since alex is pro bush

[medeak]

112. Regis Philbin

[LDS Jock]

Jean Claude van Damme -- Belgium
Alex Trebek -- Canada
Wayne Gretzky -- Canada
Mike Bossy -- Canada
Mario Lemieux -- Canada
Mark Messier -- Canada
Milos Forman -- Czechoslovakia
Andrew Lloyd Webber -- England

and why is Dixie Carter in the Country/Western section?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

120. Same goes for Van Morrison.

[JohnKleeb]

116. Tommy Berringer gave money to Max Cleland

[JohnKleeb]

121. Not Ripken!!!!

Thats a shame, and I think this list is inaccurate, Costner gave money to Phil Gramm but has also given to dems mostly, Hank Aaron I heard was a big supporter of the Georgia Dem Party yes including people like Zell but other real dems like Max Cleland.

[SotarrTheWizard]

124. Drew Carey is NOT a Republican. . .

. . .he freely admits to being a LIBERTARIAN.

Googled List

[LDS Jock]

126. mistakes according to newsmeat.com

Charles Barkley
Rick Patino (gave equally to one Dem and one rep)
Hank Aaron only gave to Dems (but did donate to Zell Miller)
Digger Phelps
Tom Berenger
Kevin Costner(only donated to Dems in last 9 years, inc. Kerry and Gore)
Clint Eastwood
Melissa Gilbert (three Dems and one repub)
Ron Howard
Regis Philbin

I'm tired of looking now. If I didn't list info by the name, their only donations were to Democrats.

[JohnKleeb]

129. on Aaron, he gave to Zell before he went nuts

I am sure many of our Georgians can tell you that Zell was once a decent guy.

[Deja Q]

131. Catherine Hicks? Yaphet Kotto?! Jim Nabors?!??!?!?! (a link added)

Shazam!

How can Nabors, hardly a hetero, support the repukes?!

Dorothy Hammill? And even little Opie (Ronnie Howard, bad excuse of a film director who can't even make an accurate bio-pic)...

Robert Zemeckis?!?!?!

Chaka Khan?!!!! I've only one word to say there: "Khhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gene Simmons would be. Heck, he even sung "Heaven's on Fire" for pity sake!

[peach720]

134. Wow some suprises there...

Rob Lowe - He was always a vocal supporter of Clinton, when did he turn, no wonder he wasn't popular at TWW.

Belinda Carlisle - That is shocking

Andrew Lloyd-Webber - When did he become an American Citizen

[Misinformed01]

135. This list has some ummmmmmm discrepancies

I refused to believe that Laura from Little House on the Prarie was a Republican...followed the links from the list and found this from her official website:


Hobbies.... Right now I'm learning to make lace, i also needlepoint
Likes and Dislikes....Don't like small talk...LOVE rainy days
Politics....Democrat
Sports.... I lift weights and fast walk
Websites...Luxury finder.com

Looks like the Repubs just flat out lie about everything these days.
