[MiniMe]

1. OMG, the Incredible Hulk was there and I missed it?

Maybe he could give some of his gamma ray blood to McSame and energize him.

[Stand and Fight]

6. He wasn't there, but he was at a fundrasier a few weeks back. n/t

[trueblue2007]

61. DON'T FORGET.......Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.

He loves Obama!!!

[WA98296]

2. Gee, how about a shout out for Oprah, who was there for Obama early?

[AspenRose]

3. Dean Cain, Emily Procter, Bo Derek, Janine Turner

[Stand and Fight]

5. Obama or McCain supporters? n/t

[Cha]

8. repukes.

[Goat or Panic]

4. Lacy Chabert??

Meg (the old one) from Family Guy became a republican?

Gaak!


:puke:

[Stand and Fight]

7. Yep, the same... Unfornately...

She should volunteer and join the service.

[Cha]

9. OH NO, james caan?!

Are you sure?

[Stand and Fight]

51. Yeppers. He was at a fundrasier for McCain. n/t

[Iris]

10. Gary Sinese?

You've got to be kidding me. I've always liked him.

No more CISNY for me.

[Cha]

13. That's exactly what I was thinking..no more

csiNewYork for me. This is too serious to me..I will not look at them or support them in any way.

[Iris]

15. I'm still stunned. He was a writer for the tv show "thirtysomething" - totally liberal show.

[Cha]

18. It makes no sense for any of these people to care so little

for their country that they would want 4 more years of epic Failure. I've known about most of them for awhile and kept hoping they'd wake up..to no avail.

They need to enlist and get themselves over to Iraq if they love WAR so much. Fucking hypocrites.

[VolcanoJen]

Gary Sinese has been a nutter for years.

Depressing, but he's still a good actor.

[Iris]

19. oh, dear. Zidzi's post below says he founded "Friends of Abe" Yikes.

[Cha]

22. Well, Obama is more of a friend to the strength and character of

Abe than their so-called "hero" will ever be! How Orwellian is that name? It's like get with the program..try to keep up, sinese.

[Stand and Fight]

53. That's right. He sure did.

It's a great disappointment to me. Especially since he did one of the best Harry Trumans I have ever scene on screen.

[Stand and Fight]

54. That's right. He sure did.

It's a great disappointment to me. Especially since he did one of the best Harry Trumans I have ever scene on screen.

[No Elephants]

33. Must have been fun when Sinese and the great Tom Hanks (pro-Obama) shot Forrest Gump.

[Cha]

11. Never mind..I found this.. I like to know who these idiots are because I will not

contribute any of my money to look at them while I'm thinking they're part of the problem. I'd rather give it to Obama and Joe Biden.

"Celebs for McCain: Yes, Virginia, There are a Few"

By Jacob S. Lybbert (Bio | Archive)
August 28, 2008 - 16:30 ET

"In my short time here at NewsBusters, I've pounded away at the left's obsession with celebrities and especially their outsized role in Obama's campaign--going so far as to "advise" the candidate. You won't see any of that from the celebrities supporting John McCain. They're happy to keep their involvement to voice-overs for campaign ads and donations.

The Weekly Standard reports on a recent meeting of Hollywood conservatives, attended by such luminaries as James Caan and Robert Duvall of The Godfather fame and Jerry Bruckheimer, Dean Cain, and Angie Harmon.

If it was a good night for John McCain, it was an even better night for Hollywood's long-closeted conservative community. Many of those in attendance are members of the Friends of Abe, an informal group of entertainment-industry conservatives--part social club and part support group--founded by actor Gary Sinise. They have been meeting quietly at out-of-the-way diners and bars in and around Los Angeles for four years expanding their membership by word of mouth.
Walking out of the meeting, Duvall and Caan were asked about their support for McCain. Duvall said, "he's an American hero. He's got character. He's been around. The other guy? I just don't know."

But Duvall didn't leave it at that. He was particularly annoyed by comments Gore Vidal made in June questioning McCain's experience as a POW. He called Vidal "an American icon-slash-dilettante," and said that even McCain's "96 year-old mother could beat the crap out of Gore Vidal with her shoe, and you can quote me on that."

Liberal celeb-surrogates take note: this is the type of support you should be providing your chosen candidate."


http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jacob-s-lybbert/2008/08/28/celebs-mccain-yes-virginia-there-are-few

[WinkyDink]

30. Duvall has clearly tangoed up his brain. But he likes that "atmosphere" in Argentina.

[Blue_Tires]

39. wow...those words from Duvall make me want to weep

because i have loved so much of his work over the years

[Stand and Fight]

50. I was pretty disappointed in that too...

However, I started to worry about him when he did that movie The Apostle about 10 years ago.

[JI7]

12. seems like McCain has a few more(and real actors) than Bush had

probably fools who have fallen for the Maverick crap.

[Cha]

14. Sounds like it from the article in

post # 11.

[Eric Condon]

16. Of course, bear in mind that when you say "The Beach Boys," you really mean

the embarrassing joke that someone much wiser than me once referred to "Mike Love and whatever bunch of paunchy guys in Hawaiian shirts he trots out as the Beach Boys this year."

All I'm saying is, I hope no one confuses the real Beach Boys with the hollowed-out shell you see appearing at the RNC and at Six Flags.

[Franks Wild Years]

27. Agreed. Let's not smear Brian Wilson.

I'm not sure of his own views, but he sure as fuck isn't performing with Mike Love, who - judging by his treatment of Brian - is a typical Repub bully.

[VolcanoJen]

17. May I add another name to your STARS I LOVE list?

Dave Matthews.

Threw one helluva Indiana fundraising concert for Obama during the primaries...and remains a staunch supporter with a HUGE fanbase. :-)

[Cha]

20. Yes, here's to Dave Matthews!

What does he know that all these fascist supporters like gary sinese do not know? Quite a bit.

:toast:

[progressivebydesign]

21. Let's not forget John Cusack on our love list.. !!! n/t

[Cha]

23. John Cusack!

Smarter than the so-called "Friends of Abe" will ever be!

:toast:

[invictus]

24. Are they all Republicans? Will Smith? I'm shocked. n/t

[JI7]

26. no, the bottom list are those who are supporting Obama

[krawhitham]

25. can we trade Ben Affleck for Tom Seleck we can even toss in a PTBN to make it more fair

[WinkyDink]

28. I will never again feel bad for Sonny at the toll-booth.

P.S. It's "Sinise". :)

[olkaz]

29. Where's Pat Sajak?

I don't really care about this. I have close friends and people in my family who are Republicans. I'm not putting anybody on a list.

[Doremus]

31. Bruce Willis, repuke

There's no shortage of morons in all occupations I guess.

[terrya]

32. I'm sort of surprised at Lou Ferrigno.

I guess all former professional bodybuilders turned actors are Republicans. Oh, well.

[Arugula Latte]

46. The steroids fry their brains, apparently. nt

[TwilightGardener]

52. I liked his cameo on King of Queens. Also surprised at Victoria Jackson--and glad

her career is in the toilet.

[renie408]

34. We have WAY better box office. n/t

[wyldwolf]

35. add my girlfriend, Jessica Alba, to the Dem list

[MagickMuffin]

36. Here's some more

Good guys:

Will i am
John Legend
Sheryl Crow
Susan Sarandon
Tim Robbins
Michael Moore



Bad guys:

Ron Silverman

[Iris]

44. Silverman- what a great talent!

NOT!

[No Elephants]

37. The Pubs who get me are the SNL crowd. Michaels, Garvey, Sandler, Miller. Also Kelsey Grammer and

Tim Allen. I hate it when comics don't get it.

[Iris]

45. Adamn Sandler?

really?

[Arugula Latte]

47. Garvey?

Do you mean Dana Carvey? Or is there some other SNL person I'm not thinking of.

I had heard Dana Carvey was a repuke, which just makes me sick.

[calico1]

38. Is the Victoria Jackson on your list the

funny blonde, former SNL cast member?

It's too bad if it's her. I always found her funny.

[Stand and Fight]

55. Yes, unfortunately...

I always thought she was funny. Hated when I glimpsed her on that stupid "Celebrity Fit Club" brain rot show...

[Political Tiger]

40. Two more for Obama

Barry Manilow and Toni Tennille (of Capt & Tennille). I realize they're not the hippest celebrities around, but both are vocal supporters of Obama.

[Cha]

43. I now love Barry Manilow after he wouldn't go on

"the view" in protest of elizabeth hasselback. I don't care who it is if they support Democracy.. they are very very Cool and if they support john mccain then they are in the way and I will not support them.

[LanternWaste]

41. I separate the art from the artist-- else I'd be very bored.

Your list is a prime example why I separate the art from the artist-- else I'd be very bored. I find no good reason to either like or dislike a song, or a movie, or a book, or a painting due to the artists personal lives, political tendencies, religion, color, or hair-style.


If I didn't separate the two, I'd live in a world without the songs of Irving Berlin and Prokofiev, or the films of Eisenstein and Capra, or the screen presence of Bing Crosby and Irene Dunne-- and that would be a rather bleak existence for me...

[Tesha]

42. Good guys/gyns

Add to the list of "good guys":

o Jackson Browne
o Bonnie Raitt

And hasn't Neil Young had a thing or three to say this year?

Tesha


P.S.: Did I really see "Smash Mouth" on the list of RNC performers?

[eggman67]

58. Yes, yes you did

They played Tom Delay's party:

Once known as "the hammer" for his hardball tactics on Capitol Hill, the featured entertainment at DeLay's party was the band Smash Mouth.

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Conventions/story?id=5707463&page=1

[MagickMuffin]

48. We've overlooked one of the long time Activist

Martin Sheen

I :loveya: President Bartlet

[Stand and Fight]

56. That's why I have you guys here to help me!

Thanks though! How could I forget one of the GREATEST?

[PatSeg]

67. And Richard Schiff (Toby)

He campaigned for Joe Biden. Bradley Whitford (Josh) is also very liberal.

[Party Line]

68. Great guy, very left, but...

still a pro-lifer.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

49. James Caan and Robert Duvall are great actors in my opinion

I'll still be a big fan of their movies and performances, although I absolutely hate their politics.

[Stand and Fight]

57. Well, I think of it this way...

I will rent one of their movies, but I won't pay for a ticket. Because both of those two are Republican supporters and CONTRIBUTORS. For all of those who say this stuff doesn't matter -- stick that in your pipes and smoke it. Because if you see a movie with these guys and they get paid and then contribute your money to the Republicans.... Well, you get it. :D

[susanna]

62. Another fabulous actor wooed by the dark side...

(IMHO of course) is Gary Oldman. He's a wingnut through and through, so now I just content myself to watch his performances and forget the politics for the moment.

[PatSeg]

69. Oh shit!

Not Gary Oldman!

[susanna]

72. I'm afraid so. :-(

[PatSeg]

74. How sad

I guess I tend to see creative personalities as more liberal. Maybe that is why it is hard to hear about accomplished actors supporting insane right wing policies.

[MagickMuffin]

59. One more for the Good Guys

Leonardo DiCaprio

I :loveya: Leonardo, too!

I think Johnny Depp is also a liberal.

[kwolf68]

60. While I dont

Like some of these people supporting the Repukes, I won't boycott their work.

That's the folly of fools such as those that boycotted the Dixie Chicks.

Also, these people are Republican, but what kind? Maybe they are the Lincoln Chafee, Christine Whitman Repuke, that while not perfect, is still someone we could really work with.

[Party Line]

70. Conservative Democrats and Liberal Republicans?

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT!

[mvd]

63. Too bad about Lacey - very disappointing

When did she speak at the RNC? Details? She's not a celeb crush now, but I had a moderate one when I was younger.

Gretchen Wilson is a bit overrated IMO, but I was disappointed she is showing her true Repuke colors. Heidi Montag is another young Repuke McCain supporter; never had a crush on her. I knew about Emily Procter. Emily didn't like Bush, but McCain is a different story.

Good people:

Big Kenny Alphin
Jennifer Aniston
Patricia Arquette
Alec Baldwin
Tyra Banks
Maria Bello
Jerome Bettis
George Clooney
Harry Connick Jr.
Zooey Deschanel (a big celeb crush - wore an Obama button to an interview)
Robert De Niro
Jodie Foster
Jennifer Garner
Emmylou Harris
Faith Hill & Tim McGraw
Susanna Hoffs
Randy Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson
Natalie Maines
Rosie O'Donnell
Hayden Panettiere (yes, she's cute, even though she's 18)
Sarah Jessica Parker
Natalie Portman (big celeb crush)
Bonnie Raitt
Susan Sarandon
Alicia Silverstone (celeb crush)
Steven Spielberg
Meryl Streep
Amber Tamblyn (supported Hillary, but I'm sure she won't vote for McCain over Obama - big celeb crush)
Denzel Washington
Olivia Wilde

Other suspected Obama supporters who are big crushes: Jennifer Connelly (professed liberal,) Alison Lohman (supported Kerry,) Adrienne Frantz (professed Democrat,) Alyssa Milano (professed Democrat,) Minka Kelly (wore peace and stop global warming shirts)

[Lorien]

64. Don't forget Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, Jeffery Katzenberg

(Al Gore's biggest contributor) Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Oprah Winfrey. I'm sure that there are many more out there that I just can't remember.

Some photos I took at a rally four years ago:

[mvd]

71. Good additions and pictures

:thumbsup:

I'm sure I left out some more notables, too. Feel free to add more to my list.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

65. Eddie Vedder, Michael Stipe, Henry Rollins

All Good Guys.

[mvd]

73. Eddie and Michael are very talented, too

Some other musicians supporting Obama (I'm up late, so can't get to all: Goo Goo Dolls, Toby Keith (believe it or not,) Jeff Tweedy, Bob Dylan, Stephan Jenkins, Vanessa Carlton, etc.)

[MrSlayer]

66. Not Wilford Brimley!

All my faith in Hollywood is shattered.

[mvd]

75. Morning kick

:kick:
