I will concede this: Patricia Arquette acts. And so did Ronald Reagan. And Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In response to right-wing blowhards going on about her political digression, 'you're an actress, not a politician.'

1. The right wingers don't like politicians, but they don't want any non-politicians getting involved

in politics?

[Takket]

3. RWers don't like anything lol

[tularetom]

2. I question whether you could call what Arnold did "acting"

but I agree with your premise.

4. Acting, groping, he did it all ...

[Skittles]

5. kills me how repukes think actors have to give up their rights to free speech

unless, of course, the actors are spouting right wing garbage

[closeupready]

7. That is PRECISELY it.

Thank you.

6. Right-wing talking heads aren't politicians either, so until they are, they should take their own advice and...

STFU!

[LeftinOH]

8. Plenty of no-talent, know-nothing blowhards on the Right

spea their ill-founded opinions and misinformation every. single. day. Beck/Limbaugh/DSouza/Malkin, etc. And they make a good living doing it. Patricia Arquette had one moment to make a public statement, and she did. She doesn't profit stating her opinions, either.

9. And since when do you have to be a politician to speak out about equal rights?

She's in an industry where women are notoriously underpaid -- for example, Jennifer Lawrence making less than the male leads in American Hustle.

Good for her for speaking out!

[skypilot]

10. Yep.
