celeb right winged whackos

[hyphenate]

Depending on the performer, I often find myself not bothering with their TV or film projects, but it's sometimes not possible to do that. I do, however, like to know who the "enemy" is. So here's the start of a good sized list of celeb right wingers. Please feel free to debunk any and please--feel completely at ease to add any more you can think of.

Tom Selleck
Charlton Heston
Bruce Willis
Gerald McRaney
Arnold
Dennis Miller
Delta Burke
Rick Schroder
Shannen Doherty
Mel Gibson
James Woods
Patricia Heaton
Andy Garcia
Gary Sinise
Chuck Norris
LL Cool J
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Denzel Washington
Robert Duvall
Catherine Bell
Danny Aiello
Ron Silver
Kelsey Grammer
Morgan Brittany
Ben Stein
Pat Boone
Kathy Ireland
Bo Derek

There is also an extensive list at:

1. Other than Denzel Washington, there's no one on that list that I'd miss

if I never saw them again. And Denzel isn't gonna be missed that much either.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. I don't think Denzel is one.

People think he is because of one of those bogus e-mails going around.

[acmavm]

6. Good. I was sort of shocked to see his name on the list but anymore

who knows? Well, that's good. I don't have to boycott Denzel. The rest are no problem, I didn't like many of them anyway.

Funny thing is I loved Everybody Loves Raymond. All except for Patricia Heaton. She struck me as being such a shrill harpy. Now I see she wasn't acting, it's natural.

[JohnKleeb]

2. They counted Tillman as one just because of what he did

Thats stupid.

[Midnight Rambler]

11. And they've got Robert Duvall on there cause he once gave to John McCain

Looks like that's pretty much a wingnut site. Like they're desperate to have any public figure they can on their side, no matter how minimal their sympathies. They have Adam Sandler on there cause he sent a message to the troops saying I hope you're doing alright.

[JohnKleeb]

24. DuVall is a republican but means nothing

I wrote a letter to the troops once, does that make me a republican, of course not.

[Doctor_J]

37. Duval is a fundie

[NoodleBoy]

28. Pat Tilman was a real Patriot, not like the chickenhawks running the show.

No matter what his political persuasion was.

By the way, if my sources are correct, he was an Atheist too. Just goes to show that religiosity is not an index of morality or ethics.

[JohnKleeb]

34. He really was a great guy

Yep I agree, I just was saying as I am sure you know its bs to infer hes a right winger because of his enlistment, he was a hell of a guy, its such a tragedy that he died. You know his type is so rare these days in sports, back in the 40's, you had guys like Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Warren Spahn all in the service, and many others.

[ragin_acadian]

4. chuck norris isn't much of a disapointment.

neither is grammer, stein, or willis. the thought of sinise and garcia drinking the cool aid sucks, though.

[Maestro]

5. LL Cool J.

WTF? Oh well. I'll send his songs to my recycle bin.

[baldguy]

7. Fleetwood Mac?

I think there's some wishful thinking in this list.

[LTR]

22. Fleetwood Mac goes out of their way to be non-political

I remember reading about a recent song, and they claimed it had no political meaning whatsoever, and that the band has chosen to not politicize publicly.

A lot of this list consists of some serious reaching.

[Robeson]

8. Charlton Heston a Republican??!?? NO WAY!!!!....

...:sarcasm:

Can't say I'd give a dime to any on that list.

[mockmonkey]

9. Tom Selleck

seems like he is all over the place..really odd.

[deadparrot]

10. try this link...

Gives you celebrity donations (what candidate, party, etc.)...

[Montauk6]

12. Should Jenna Jameson & Brittany Spears be on that list?

[JI7]

13. some of the names on this list are questionable

Denzel Washington made some comment about how he hopes to be seen as having won the oscar because he is a good actor rather than as the black guy who won an oscar. and bunch of right wing shit heads used that to claim there is no need for affirmative action and other non sense and that Denzel was a republican.

the same thing with SMG. all based on some comment she made.

hard to believe Gary Sinise is a right winger. LL Cool J supported Pataki but he supported Kerry also. and Pataki isn't exactly a right winger.

some like Kelsey Grammer, Robert Duvall and Bruce Willis are republicans but not right wingers. in fact they can be liberal on some issues.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. A lot of the links don't prove political affiliation.

Many of those listed as RWers are quoted as "supporting the troops" in some fashion, and that somehow translates to being a Republican.

By that logic, Al Franken would be a Republican because of all his USO tours.

[MisterP]

16. all neocons actually turned on Denzel entirely when he attacked

the blood-spattered Invasion

[Nevernose]

15. Gary Sinise and Mel Gibson?

Mel has made no bones about his dislike for the current Republican administration. I don't know if he's a liberal, but I, at least, was under the impression that he was not a solid conservative even if his dad is Opus Dei or he was allegedly a Christian.

Gary Sinise? Okay, I don't know any better, but any actor who made his name on acting out Steinbeck roles, well, it makes me hope for something better for them.

[WCGreen]

17. He sponsors a help the troops deal.....

And he tours Iraq....

If that's the case, then Al Frankens a right winger as well...

Patricia HEaton...

I knew her vaguely high school. Her dad was a big time sports writer for the Cleveland Pd. She went to high school onecity over from us...

She sang in her Choir, I sang in mine. We would all get together for combined cocnert. And I met her only because someone said, hey, that's chuck Heatons daughter....

[LTR]

23. According to this bullshit site...

Sinise is a Republican because he supports Disabled American Veterans.

Hell, the Republicans don't even support disabled vets!

[Jamastiene]

18. Don't forget Loretta Lynn

and Kid Rock. Those are two more that I know of who have been active politically. Loretta Lynn leans way way way to the right.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. How could they leave out Charlie Daniels?

Or The Ultimate Warrior?

[ragin_acadian]

20. damn. you're right.

they left out the ultimate warrior!

destructicityyyyyyyyy!

[ghostsofgiants]

25. My personal favourite right winger

He adds a certain hilarity to the idiocy.

[ragin_acadian]

26. did you check out the email correspondence

from the ultimate warriors director of communications on somethingawful.com? i think cinemax should turn that into a mini-series.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Oh, did I ever!

One of the funniest things I've ever read.

[ragin_acadian]

31. i had to take a smoke break between pages,

it was so funny. i wonder if that 'chris' guy really existed, or if the u.w. was writing the emails himself.

i first heard about him from wrestlecrap.com - don't know if you've been there, but they have catalogued nearly every lunatic thing he has done, from broadcasting the 'warrior signal' into the rafters of the wcw arena, legally changing his name to ultimate warrior, to having an ultimate warrior comic book where he does some kinda BDSM on santa claus.

he's right up there with phelps (no pun intended)

[ghostsofgiants]

32. I've never been there, but I'll check it out now

And I have also entertained the possibility that Chris was really an alias of Warrior.

[khashka]

21. Some of this is a little bogus

Statements taken out of context, stuff like that. Sure there are some right wing psycho celebs. But most of them, just like us, have various opinions on different issues.

Cons paint us with a broad brush as tofu-eating, tree-hugging, gay marrying, sex crazed druggie commies. It's ugly. We shouldn't play that game. We're better than that.

Khash.

[CanuckAmok]

27. Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson's voice), Victoria Jackson (SNL).

...

[NoodleBoy]

30. Like everything right-wing, their fact checking apparently sucks.

Some of those names don't have a "see-why" link next to them, and others link to pages that either aren't there or that barely back up their claim.

[SKKY]

33. I don't hold it against Dennis Miller. I still think he's brilliant.

[TheMightyFavog]

35. Hold it hold it hold it... Ted Nugent isn't on that list?

The biggest Homophobic, right wing piece of trash in the rock world.

[Ikonoklast]

36. But true to his Rethug roots

He does like the underage girls.


I like Ted Nugent; when I am having a bad day and get really down on myself I think that it could always get worse. I could be Ted Nugent.
