The situation was handled somewhat badly, but I don't think the HoF dissed them because of their political views. They did it because Mr. and Mrs. Sarandon have a long history of spouting their political views in nonpolitical forums, even when asked not to do so.

If it's because of a "long history" they shouldn't have been invited at all.

To invite someone, knowing what they are, and to then un-invite them because of what they are, is idiotic.

Sorry, but they really screwed this one up. They should have never made the invitation, or made it without including a speaking engagement.
