Ben Affleck is smart enough to know an actor taking up political causes can shatter the illusion movies are meant to conjure.
Yet the Argo director and avowed liberal still sticks his foot in his mouth during a new interview with Playboy Magazine by insulting half of his audience.
Seems he's not sure he can be friends with anyone who pulls the lever repeatedly for GOP politicians.
The future Dark Knight (Affleck plays Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel) said he can't help but consider an actor's politics while watching movies, and he takes that information to heart.
When I watch a guy [on screen] I know is a big Republican, part of me thinks, I probably wouldn’t like this person if I met him, or we would have different opinions. That shit fogs the mind when you should be paying attention and be swept into the illusion.
Affleck isn't alone in his lack of tolerance. Singer Katy Perry went so far as to not invite her parents to President Barack Obama's inauguration because they dared to call themselves Republican.

Hollywood IDIOT of the Day.
Poor Ben. Like a lot of other Democrats, he’s fallen and can’t get up.
I had good friends turn on me because I spoke out against 1984 newspeak
...of the year!
...and they've been p#ssing on their "traditional fan-base"(not to mention integrity of the sport)ever since.
No, he is doing insurance commercials dressed as a duck.
I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He’s way better then Ben Affleck.
And now all I can think about is your smile,
And that ty movie too,
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you
Yep...definitely not going to be seeing that new Batman movie.
Um, no, he isn't. He isn't smart enough to know much of anything.
The day will come when Actors will become patriots again—or never work in the New Hollywood. Now Liberalism is fashiable—cool, the best way to find a job. But this wasn’t always so—nor will it be in the future.
If he was any shallower a person, even his dog would leave him.
I watch James Woods show (Futurescape) on the science channel faithfully every Tuesday. He says its unlikely that he’ll work in Hollywood again because of his outspoken conservatism.
Conservatism seems to be growing in Hollywood outside the movie business. Lots of conservative (or republican leaning) comedians. Game show hosts seem to be a hotbed of conservatism too.
Says another brainless “ Meat Puppet”
Nice to know that liberal fascist is so open minded.
Probably a charter members of the Film Actors Guild.
i concur... hey Ben--Argo f@#k yourself...
