My faith in sitcom actors is being severly shaken.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

First Coach Hayden Fox, now Cliff the Mailman from Cheers--both revealed as freepers.

Stop ruining my Nick at Night fun, dammit!

Who's next? Newman?

[NJmaverick]

1. Don't forget Fraiser and the wife on Home Improvement

[KamaAina]

2. Please tell me you mean the wife on Everybody Loves Raymond

I already know she's a FReeper.

But if Patricia Richardson is one, too... :cry:

[Drunken Irishman]

4. No worries...she's a Dem.

It was often the foundation of her battles on the set with Tim Allen - a Republican.

http://newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Patricia_Richardson.php

She did play a Republican, however, on West Wing. ;)

[KamaAina]

5. Tim Allen is a repuke?

The Tim Allen who served time for dealing coke?

(snarf) (chortle) :rofl:

[Taverner]

13. Not just that, he ratted out his dealer and his customers

Tim Allen is scum

[mitchum]

14. +1

[PVnRT]

17. That takes a special kind of asshole

Unless the dealer is a dishonest prick, in which case he deserves it.

[proteus_lives]

28. So him ratting out other law-breakers and junkies makes him somehow worse?

You don't actually believe in "honor among thieves" do you?

[Taverner]

31. I don't beleive it, but yes it does make him worse

Especially with victimless crimes like drugs

Anyone who rats out their dealer is SCUM

[TZ]

37. You think drugs are victimless crimes?

You've never met an addict have you?Geezus fucking christ. Drugs destroy whole FAMILIES

[Taverner]

38. Keep drinking the Nancy Reagan Kool Aid

Keep telling yourselves its the drugs fault, and not the fault of the person who took them

[proteus_lives]

40. I disagree.

I had a cousin who got heavily into using and dealing. She was arrested many times and on the last time she was looking at 20 years. So she give her fellow dealers and suppliers. But she wasn't giving up soccer moms and hippies, she was giving up speed freaks, meth-heads and gang members. She did a few years, got clean and was able to salvage her life.

You can think she's scum but if you drug dealer and sitting in an jail cell and looking two decades of time, I wonder what you would do.

Drugs are not always victimless crimes. In this situation they weren't dealing weed.

[Sebastian Doyle]

24. Kelsey Grammer had a lot of trouble with coke too, and he's a Repuke

And of course, there's that other Repuke celebrity.....

[NJmaverick]

8. My mistake, that's the one

[GoCubsGo]

33. Raymond's "wife" is Patricia Heaton

She is a freeper. Patricia Richardson (a.k.a. Mrs. Tim the Tool Man Taylor) is not.

[GoCubsGo]

34. Oops!

I guess I should have read farther along before I posted. Looks like y'all beat me to it.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. I don't know what you're talking about. Patricia Richardson is a Democrat.

Maybe you meant Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond?

[NJmaverick]

7. Yeah that's it, my mistake

[TZ]

6. Well dude, I suggest you not look into the politcal leanings of

baseball players. I think you will be very very disappointed.

[Mojambo]

9. I used to love horse racing, but then I found out... Seabiscuit? A fucking freeper!

Now I just can't watch horse racing anymore...

[Canuckistanian]

43. Little known fact: Lassie was a member of the John Birch Society

I hate that bitch.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. In all honesty actually...

...I could care less what a celebrity's political persuasion is, whether it be liberal or conservative. Put out a good movie, play a good game, that's really all I'm going to expect from them.

"Coach" is still a funny sitcom that I'll gladly watch for a laugh or two, regardless that Craig T. Nelson turned out to be a Glenn Beck loving freeper.

[TheMightyFavog]

18. Damn right. I still enjoy MST3K, even though Mike Nelson's a Repuke.

I still prefer Joel who was more consistlently funny, but When Mike got those low and outside fastballs like Prince of Space, Space Mutiny, and Santa Claus, he'd hit it out of the Piss-your-pants funny ballpark every time.

[Drunken Irishman]

19. I love Coach.

A pain to find it on television now, though.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. It was on USAs in the morning for a while.

I used to watch it getting ready for work.

[Sebastian Doyle]

32. Football players too

One of my heroes as a kid was Steve Largent, the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver.

Steve Largent the religious reich ex congressman from Oklahoma, not so much :evilfrown:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. i am a brilliant republican celebrity spotter. something about their stage persona

always screams republican at me. the only exception i can think of is shannon doherty. sigh

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Or Mary Tyler Moore.

I would have never pegged her as a Repuke.

[Taverner]

15. Also Janine Turner and John Corbett are raving fundies and Repubs

Barry Corbin, however, is a Dem of the Texan variety

[donheld]

26. do you have a link for John's fundyness?

[Taverner]

29. "Corbett was raised Catholic but is now a born-again Christian."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Corbett_%28actor%29

[GoCubsGo]

35. That's what happens when you hook up with the likes of Bo Derek

Derek is another freeper-type. I was greatly disappointed when he became involved with her. Now I'm doubly disappointed. Dang.

[donheld]

41. Now my heart is broken

:grr:

[Darth_Kitten]

45. So born-again Christians shack up with actresses?

:shrug:

My faith in humanity is taking a beating.

[lukasahero]

39. John Corbett from Northern Exposure?

Oh, I'm crushed. :(

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. One must not base thy faith upon "Friends".

Because for every Jennifer Aniston, there is an equal and opposing "Dunston Checks In".

The cycle of life goes on. Amen.

[mikeytherat]

21. That you had faith in sitcom actors leaves me shaken.

mikey_the_rat

[Bucky]

44. That you are shaken by his faith in sitcom actors rocks me to my core

Bucky the mimic

[NoPasaran]

22. Cliff is an archetypal freeper type

Loud, opinionated, and wrong about everything.

[rurallib]

23. Craig T. Nelson(Hayden Fox) uttered one of the best lines I ever heard

Can't remember the show or where I heard it. It went something like this:
He was explaining how he was self made, never took any gummint help
"I've been broke and on unemployment. I've had to use food stamps and the free medical clinic, but I have never, never taken any government help."

Surprised he can memorize a script.

[cbdo2007]

25. I could totally see Newman being a freeper. Does anybody know?

[Taverner]

30. I don't think he is. You're talking about Wayne Knight right?

He's good friends with Wallace Shawn, and I know he's a big time Progressive

[Capn Sunshine]

27. Don't forget John Stewart

because he's our only hope :evilgrin:

[LeftinOH]

36. Don't forget Drew Carey, or Shirley Jones (Mrs Partridge)

[Lindsey]

42. I doubt Newman is a freeper. I saw him at a Maryann Williamson

several years ago when she used to speak every Monday night at a theatre here in L.A. Maryann is very progressive, was a backer of Kucinich at one point, and was really trying to start a movement to have a "Department of Peace" in Washington. I would think Newman is pretty liberal. I'm glad we got it right that it's the "Everyone Loves Raymond" wife and not the "Home Improvement" wife who's the freeper. A lot of people get those two mixed up.

[Zavulon]

46. If the poltical leanings of actors meant anything to me, I'd have quit TV long ago.

They're free to be on whatever side they want, and I'm not going to stop watching Frasier just Grammer's a Repuke. When any of them run for office, THAT'S when I express my displeasure. Until then, I don't give a damn.
