Reply #7: Hollywood IS liberal [View All]

[George_Bonanza]

Going to newsmeat.com, there are hardly any Republicans in Hollywood. Maybe the studio heads or producers are? But actors and directors are overwhelmingly Democratic. I think Fahrenheit 9/11's troubles in finding distributors had to do more with the fact that few studios wanted to be responsible for such a potentially polarizing and controversial movie. I doubt they'd want to be branded as "That stinkin' pinko studio" by the nation's Republicans. It's probably more business than politics. But if 2004 has taught us anything, it's that controversial movies make LOADS of money, like The Passion of the Christ and Fahrenheit 9/11.

If I were the RNC, I wouldn't exactly try and badmouth Hollywood as their biggest future prospect is a product of it. I mean, the Dems have John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama as future prospects. The only thing the Republicans have is a foreigner and Jeb Bush (I heard somebody asked him if he wanted to follow in his brothers footsteps).

Bringing up sports, we should all applaud Carlos Delgado for his noble protests during this MLB season. He wasn't a loudmouth or a "oh look at me, I'm a protester!". Instead, he quietly went about by not coming out of the dugout for 7th inning singings of God Bless America. However, when he was on the field at the time, he would stay out there to not attract unwanted attention against himself or his team. What a class act.
