Peggy Noonan was right. You are seeing the first symptoms of a "theocratic hubris" that could shatter the Republican coalition years before its time. If they drive away the South Park Republicans with this kind of stunt, they are making a big dent in their political futures.
I saw an interview with Hopper several months back and he was as pro-Bush as any of us. He's taken some hits for his political standing, but doesn't really give a sh$t! He's his own man. Having this happen, if true, isn't right. As stated in a earlier post, "President Bush can use as many friendly Hollywood types as possible". Personally, I like the guy.
For sure. . .any Repub should be treated like gold.
Too bad. . no matter what the reason.
Is one of these guys "Joey Pants"? I wouldn't know one from another:

"He is right in the middle of a huge movie deal,"
That scenerio sounds more likely. Of course, the libiots can never pass up an opportunity to leak a bogus story to try to make our President look bad. Ain't gonna work, folks.

I'll ask you then. What is your source that this is "theocratic hubris"? What is your source? Is there any basis for it, or did you pull it out of thin air?
I
From a guick Google search:
"Kerry's $50,000 Hollywood supporters include actor Dennis Hopper,
director William Friedkin, Viacom Entertainment Chairman Jonathan
Dolgen, Paramount Studios chief Sherry Lansing, CBS Entertainment head
Nancy Tellem and three top executives at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Kerry's Massachusetts fundraisers include longtime backers Alan
Solomont, the former finance chairman of the Democratic National
Committee (DNC); Jonathan Lavine, managing director of Bain Capital; and
the senator's brother Cameron Kerry, an attorney at Mintz Levin..."
Don Wildmon is the part of the horse that we walk around so as not to step in.
No, Joey isn't in those pics (they're excellent pics, BTW--Pauly Walnuts in desert fatigues--LOL!). If you watch the Sopranos, Joey Pants was the guy with the bad hair piece. They whacked him a couple seasons ago. And he was in "The Fugitive" as Tommy Lee Jones sidekick "Cosmo".
I might have to stand corrected! And, if I do, I do! Thanks!
Seems to me, you are incredibly wrong in thinking "Hollywood" is, or should be considered, pollitically influential.
Why?
What special wisdom do Hollywood actors bring to the table?
Sheesh, they are just people who constantly get cameras and microphones thrust into their faces by the LSM for operating well with a script doing a job that demands they be comfortable working around cameras and microphones.
Am I supposed to think they have any more insight about the world than my next door neighbor?
If he's such a big supporter and most Freepers are only finding out now, he obviously isn't putting the effort into making his voice heard as any of the Hollywood libs.
And the WH doesn't NEED has been celebrities, the last election proved that.
Farah is as nutty as Hopper. Farah's talk radio show is on the outer fringe of something but not the conservative cause.
Hopper took the cure years ago. He's alcohol and drug free. He talked about it on Letterman a couple of years ago.
The next act was Macy Gray. She sang something forgettable, then went into a discussion honoring Che Guevara. I don't recall what she said, but her words were words of admiration and respect. We walked out at this point.
I just did a search on her lyrics, assuming that the talk on Che was an intro to a song, but found nothing.But based on my experience, I think it fair to assume that anyone who loves Che, would not support Bush.
BTW, Dennis Hopper is a hell of an actor, IMHO. Red Rock West being a favorite of mine for his performance.
Absolutely right. Why should we bow to the altar of Hollywood? There's more to this story than what's being told--and why is this news anyway? Who gives a crap where Dennis Hopper goes or doesn't go?
