THEY DON'T ALL STINK IN HOLLYWOOD: A LIST OF THE GOOD GUYS

Posted on 03/04/2003 12:57:05 AM PST by Cinnamon Girl

It seems like everyone has been making lists lately of all the big mouths in Hollywood who like to spew their hate speech against President Bush and share their ignorance about foreign affairs. There's even a website dedicated to the subject: www.hollywoodhalfwits.com.

But is there a Festivus for the rest of us? Little by little, conservatives, or at least supporters of President Bush, are making themselves known, sometimes against their own better judgment.

Here's a list, with quotes:

1. Shlomo Goldberg. Who is Shlomo Goldberg? Try actor Steve Bond, who played "Jimmy Lee Holt" on General Hospital. He called into the Larry Elder show on Monday to come out as a conservative, who, to top it off, was born in Israel. Steve spoke eloquently about the liberals' foolish faith in the U.N. inspectors. Someone give this guy a good role!

2. James Woods: "I like the Rumsfeld approach to things, you know. If they're not right, shoot ‘em. I’m not about appeasing any of these crappy little Arab states that want to hold us hostage with oil, you know, and decide they’re going to use terrorism or state support it." (from the Conway & Steckler show)

3. James Earl Jones: Said he doesn't oppose U.S. military action in Iraq, provided the country gets involved as soon as necessary and stays to finish the job. (from Fox News)

Kelsey Grammer: ``The thing I most respond to in the political arena is people that actually don't play politics, and I think President Bush comes from a place that is sincere.'' (from AP via NYT)

Heather Locklear: "He's a scumbag," said the vixen of "Spin City" and formerly of "Melrose Place." But Locklear was quick to clarify: She was talking about President Josiah Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. (from the Weekly Standard)

(the following is according the the Philadelphia Enquirer:)

Babylon Five's Tracy Scoggins

Senator-turned-Law-&-Order-star Fred Thompson: "Thank goodness we have a President with the courage to protect our country."

Libertarians: Drew Carey, Lisa Kennedy, Kurt Russell, Penn and Teller, Tommy Chong, Russell Means

John Malkovich: caused an outcry last summer when he told a group of Cambridge students he'd like to shoot a certain anti-Israel, anti-American member of Parliament.

Conservative Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton is honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life.

Emma Caulfield, who plays Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Identifies herself as a Republican, and has said she would take a break from acting to actively campaign for Elizabeth Dole, in the event that Ms. Dole runs for president again in a future election." (from Internet Movie Database)

Ron Silver: "I kind of like Rumsfeld's 'old Europe versus the new Europe,' and we saw it in the last two weeks, with France and Germany, who were not with us on June 6, 1944, I don't know why we expect them to be with us today."

R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine who played the scary drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket: "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her hummingbird brain has had a chance to catch up. Ms. Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Bruce Willis, White House spokesman for children in foster care: Willis purchased 12,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies from his 8-year-old daughter Tallulah Belle to support military personnel serving in the Middle East. His cookies were given to Marines and Sailors onboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, and Army and Air Force personnel in Afghanistan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: may run as a Republican for governor of California.

Dennis Miller on Hardball: Matthews: “Did you vote for him?” Miller: “Yes I did.” Matthews: “First time you voted Republican? I feel like I’m Brian Lamb here.” Miller: “Well, you know, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell. I’ll tell you about Bush, but I, you know I-” Matthews: “Are you a lifelong Republican or a lifelong Democrat?” Miller: “I was a lifelong Democrat for a long time.” Matthews: “Did you switch for Bush?” Miller: “Well I switched for other reasons. I began to find the dialogue on the left side of it to be getting a little strident."

Norm McDonald: where is he?

Charlton Heston on Today Show: Lauer demanded: "Have you ever gotten up one morning, read the newspaper or seen the news about a particularly horrific crime or event that involved a shooting and thought even for a second, I may be on the wrong side of this issue?"
Heston: "No I never felt that."

I would bet good money that Alan Jackson is a Southern Democrat. Some of his songs have a "people vs. the powerful" populist message to them (if only briefly)-- like his new song "That'd Be Alright" (If everybody everywhere/Had a lighter load to bear/And a little bigger piece of the pie/We'd be livin' us a pretty good life) and he's from Georgia where Southern Democrats still exist.

Has Jane Russell been mentioned? A fine article about her not too long ago here on FR! She spoke her mind at the CPAC Convention!

She referred to the old-school Republican movie stars you mentioned.

silver0211.JPG (10922 bytes)cyberno5.gif (1443 bytes) Actor Ron Silver has nothing but contempt for Republicans, especially after they went after his President. All this week ABC’s Politically Incorrect is being taped at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. On Monday’s show, MRC analyst Jessica Anderson documented, Silver, who is now co-star of the NBC sit-com Veronica’s Closet, scoffed at how Republicans control "the people's House" when "they don't like the people." Later he charged that the 13 House managers "are every bit as flawed as our President, but they were lucky and, thank God, they didn't have Starr with $40 million going after them for seven years."

     Thursday’s guest list included Sam Donaldson and the stridently leftist Richard Belzer, star of NBC’s Homicide. Politically Incorrect airs daily after Nightline and Washington area viewers should be aware that WJLA this week is not delaying the airing for 30 minutes as it usually does to accommodate Extra! This week Politically Incorrect is running at 12:07am.

     On the February 8 Politically Incorrect Silver appeared with fellow liberal Ann Richards and opposite Republican Congressman Matt Salmon and Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak who more than held his own. Here are a couple of Silver’s diatribes, the first of which will be posted Thursday morning on the MRC home page after Kristina Sewell cues it up:

     -- Silver: "I think it's really an important question to figure out what the Republican Party is gonna do after this. I mean, they've shut down the government, and they are very proud of it, and then they didn't want to be blamed for it. Then in '94, they came in, the revolution, right, the class of '94 came in and they said, ‘We're grassroots, and the people,’ and here we are in '99 and they're saying, ‘The thing wrong with the country is the people because they don't get it and they're not outraged enough.’"
     Sajak: "No."

     Silver over cheers and applause from audience: "And wait, wait, Pat, let me just finish this. Now what has the Republican Party done when they had the House, the people's House? But they don't like the people. But what have they done? [Laughter from audience] What have they done? They renamed National Airport. They tried to shut down the government. [Cheers and applause] And they're trying to get into your bedroom to find out what you're doing. What kind of party is that?"

     -- Silver: "Pat, Congressman [Matt Salmon], is there no sense of shame on your part or the party about the clear, cheap hypocrisy on the part of many of the House managers and the party? You're talking about Henry Hyde, Helen Chenoweth, Bob Livingston, Bob Barr....Isn't there any, wait, is there, is there no sense on your part that the Founding Fathers, your 13 House managers, are every bit as flawed as our President, but they were lucky and, thank God they didn't have Starr with $40 million going after them for seven years."

     -- Silver: "Matt [Salmon], don't you think the party has a problem? You're clearly hostages to the right-wing fringe of your party."

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those who signed the anti-war against Iraq ad. He's on the dark side.

Lol, support for this war as the acid test. I guess that makes the world so much easier to sort out.

Bottom line is Ron Silver supports George Bush's war on Iraq and I have $100 for you if you can prove me incorrect!

Hillary Clinton supports the war, too. I read it on Drudge yesterday. Does that make her one of the "good guys?" Get real.

Yesterday on Fox they said that Harrison Ford's PR person said that HF was in favor of regime change in Iraq but also wanted regime change with the Bush administration.

I knew it! Someone tried to convince me sometime ago that HF wasn't a lib, but I could just tell by his behavior at an event he was attending in DC. Ha!

So does Hillary Clinton. And like Hillary Clinton, all he ever supports is the Liberal agenda. You might want to take up another cause other than defending Liberal hypocrites.

BTW, Your wager is silly and I think insincere.

AntiJen posted this on another thread. Lots of right-thinking people in Hollywood.

And add Rob Lowe to the list. According to another poster, he was on Fox yesterday, and is definitely a conservative!

Bryan24 said: Ronn Silver is a HUGE liberal. I seriously doubts he supports President Bush.

You said: "WRONG!!!! Do a free republic search 'cause you are dead wrong!"

I say: I've already proved you dead wrong.

Dixie Carter, former liberal Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women. As a guest on the O'Reilly Factor, which was live from the DNC Convention in 2000, she said, 'we've got to get these guys out of office.' She also made several other remarks about how loathesome Democrats are.

And speaking of Designing Women, how about Delta Burke and her hubby, Gerald McRainey?

Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady loves GWB.

Kid Rock just wants someone to 'slit that mother %@$#$@$^ throat'- when speaking of Saddam Hussein.

And yes, hell may have just froze over because Tom Cruise and Steven Speilberg support the President in his actions against Iraq.

"The War on Terrorism has not been as successful as President Bush has stated, and he is feeling pressure to do something, even if that something has nothing to do with actually fighting terrorism! The Bush administration thinks they can fool us into thinking they have the terrorism situation under control by going after Saddam, when all they are doing is exacerbating the problem by creating more outrage against the United States from potential terrorists." - Barbara Streisand




I wish madonna and barbara streisand would run off together so we wouldn't have to SEE OR LISTEN to them anymore.....maybe they could go to the island madonna used in her last flop....they are getting harder and harder on the eyes too

Nope. He, like Dennis Miller, has changed his tune since 9-11. I heard Ron Silver on Hannity a few weeks ago and he was brilliant.
