Who's right, who's left in Hollywood..find out here
This could be under the "Entertainment" section, but considering the upcoming Oscars, this list may give some indication of who's who. The main website itself is quite entertaining also.

23. Pathetic..
Someone was obviously too "busy" (I.e. trying to be completely biased) to actually list ALL the Hollywood stars and their political leanings.

And did anyone else notice the really weird fact that the people on the left are listed in red and the people on the right are in blue?

2. I don't have a problem with their lists, but...
If they are going to put music artists on there as well, they should list the hundreds of bands that support the left. I guess it doesn't fit their agenda.

3. Those lists alternate between making me depressed and ecstatic.
I see some actors I love that are repukes(Bruce Willis), and I see some people I hate that are(Gene Simmons, The Ramones)

4. Lemme get this straight ....
The list contains:

137 Liberals
20 Moderates
214 Conservatives

including deceased people (btw, I didn't Frank Zappa was still alive).

If this list is "accurate", how can they scream about Hollywood liberals, when there are more conservatives on the list?

6. Our side is better than theirs
They can keep all of them... I am surprised that Drew Carey drank the kool-aid though.

If Hollywood is so liberal... why is their list longer?

but we have the far more talented Lee Hazlewood on our side.

33. Really?
I've met her a few times at several Hollywood functions thrown by extreme liberals (like Jeffery Katzenberg and a few Native American groups). She didn't seem like a RWer to me. :shrug:

36. I don't know
if that is the same Nancy Cartwright or not. The list seems a bit flimsy to me anyway, like somebodies' "idea" of who is a freep in Hollywood.

12. A lot of it is bullshit.
Clint Eastwood is a Republican, but he's not right wing, for example. And putting Cecil B. DeMille, Ronald Reagan and John Wayne on the right but not putting Humphrey Bogart, Gene Kelly and John Garfield on the left is just not playing fair. And I'm pretty sure Katherine Harris is not a Hollywood type. :wtf:

14. Interesting...
Their bias bias list is biased. :-/

I know of one authentic Hollywooder who's a RWer not on
their list. I ain't saying tho...

I know I'm not going to any more of their movies.

The lefties didn't start this anti-Hollywood crap.
(It was McCarthy and the HCUAA I think.) But, I
sure as heck aim to finish it.

16. Oscar winners- lopsided list
From a quick review of the names (not including those in the 'center,' I count 25 Oscar statuettes on the left-side column..and all of them are still alive. On the right, there appear to be 13 Oscars, and many of those are either dead (Helen Hayes, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra, Cecil B DeMille, Bob Hope), or very close to it (Heston, Michey Rooney).

18. No wonder I like Hollywood
All the good actors and musicians are lefties. The ones on the right either suck or I've never heard of them.

I think the wingers are jealous because the lefties on the list make all the money.

22. That list is wrong.....
Neil Boortz in not middle and not Hollywood. He is a Georgia DJ.And Right winged.
Hadn't seen any Katherine Harris movies lately and that is the funniest list I have ever seen. Loretta Lynn campaigned with the Bush Family. she isn't even on the list. This is not even close to where people's politics are.

to what people generally think. Of course, tons of those people on all sides are not actually "hollywood."

I could've sword McGraw wanted to run for senate as a Dem and Faith Hill played in support of Gore in 2000. :shrug:

49. They Are...Read This
Another potential wild card in the South (presumably Tennessee) could be country singer Tim McGraw, who has indicated a long-time interest in running for the U.S. Senate and is a known Democrat. With this in mind, a Frist retirement could prompt some arm-twisting by the Dems to pony up a celebrity candidate who has proven to "connect culturally" with a state where that matters more than anything else. I'm not sure if Harold Ford would appeal outside of Memphis, but agree he would be the best candidate if they can't convince McGraw to run.

26. Considering...
They haven't had a meeting since September 2004.

The meetings they had before then we hosted by
nobodies...

I'm going out on a limb to say this site has about
as much credibility as, The Swift Liar's.

I guess they should call this group... SBLAH.
(Swift Boat Liars Against Hollywood.)

Kirk Cameron, Rick Dees :boring: look how many are deceased. And puhhhleeze - Dixie Carter, LL Cool J and so many others I don't think so.

I noticed they left Tom Hanks off the "left" list. He was on Letterman saying how "blue" he was after the election and made a crack about "red" states.

George Bailey himself a rightie? also somehow I don't see Frank Sinatra going around telling everyone they will go to hell if they don't accept Jesus in their hearts.

Toby Keith in the middle?? mister Praise Bush is a middle person???

Well this is a republican site so I don't expect accuracy to be paramount.

42. Stupid list
The have Tim McGraw listed as a repub, and people like Kevin Costner and Kathy Ireland are on two different lists. Neil Boortz is on the middle list, half of the right-wing people are dead, but they have Frank Zappa listed as alive...

Dunno about the right side, but they left out a lot of people on the left (James Cromwell, Matt Damon, Kevin Bacon, etc.)
