The Friends of Abe has acted as a clandestine club for Hollywood conservatives for more than a decade, hosting secret events where they could vent rightwing views and hear speeches from visiting Tea Party luminaries.

I saw a video a while back where Kelsey Grammer talked about how he and his wife aborted one of the babies in her womb so that the other would be better off. I forget the exact excuse but it turned me against him. His wife sat there looking sad while he made the rationalizations.

Spineless. They should be pointing out the hypocrisy of the Hollywood blacklist.

I am sick of actors spouting their political stances. Act and shut up. In your private life support whoever you agree with but why alienate 50% of your audience by using your career as a platform to spout your personal crusade. An actor’s opinion is no more important than any other American.

The sad thing is that one party or another thinks it is okay to hurt someone’s career for their PERSONAL beliefs or how they act on them in their private life.
