Suggestions for more names and/or deletions?
Does it count as a boycott if you never go to movies anyway?
Could you please move Oprah to the top of the list?
How about renting? Passion of the Christ is a must-see

Wouldn’t it be easier to post a list of hollywood actors/directors/producers that are not left wing loonies?
Yes- But its more telling when the leftist loonies are identified by name and let’s hope when the list reaches 100 Drudge would pick it up.
How could Jane Fonda not be on that list?!!??
UR Soooooooo correct: Jane Fonda and Spike Lee should be added to next update.
List who’s NOT boycotted. Faster.
Are you taking names to add to the list?
(If you are), Add Sally Field.
I saw Garth Brooks, Miley Cyrus, and the Jonas Brothers on the list of people performing at or attending Inaugural Balls.
I’m relieved to see that I may continue my boycott of Mike Farrell, Ed Asner and Barbara Hershey.
Dude. Rosie O’Donnell.
Why is Ben Stein on the list????
Hah very funny none of the Actors on the list are ones I am fond of in movies anyway.
add Ron Howard to that list.
Rosanne Barr, Pamela Anderson, Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansen (sp)?, Denis Leary...
Tina Fey!
Costner?? did I miss something??or did he turn to the DARK SIDE like Ben Stein did?
You could add the entire henhouse (the View besides Hasselback) to that list but then again I don’t think Behar is a star - maybe Bawbaw Wawa though. You also forgot the idiots such as Tina Fey, John Steward, David Letterman, Rosie O’Donnell, Roseanne Barr, Angelina Jolie, Justin Timberlake (w/ his idiotic youtube commercial to parody his SNL Hole in the box song... w/ putting your vote in the box w/ an Obama background...), Horse Face Sarah Jessica Parker answered phones in NYC for Obama at the campaign office, Laura Linney who always makes asinine comments (Golden Globes) recently, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Pamela Anderson (who told Sarah Palin to bite her), Ashley Judd (marched in DC this year for abortion on demand), Dixie Chicks, Bill Maher, Danny Devito for getting drunk and savaging Bush and please let us not forget Al Franken. Let me know if you want me to continue :)
He supported Obama and Franken - and IMHO he has gotten all the economic stuff wrong for the past couple years - I think he may be very ill!
A+. I give you extra credit for mentioning ol’ horse face.
I mean Laura Dern for the Golden Globes but I guess you can keep Linney on there as well.
I think Lindsey Lohan made some incoherent comments re Sarah Palin during the election...goodness, just list the ones we CAN see. The list will be much shorter.
I’ll never watch Scorsese’s Last Temptation and have had a boycott on him, Willem Dafoe and Barbara Hershey ever since. Every so often they are in something I didn’t realize they were in, but I make an effort not to see ther stuff.
Let us not forget Sarah Silverman and “The Great Schlep”
I’d never heard of her, she’s supposed to be a comic and/or actress. Then I saw her once on a Monk rerun, apparently playing herself .... a total mental case.
Libs that spewed hate towards Gov. Palin:
William H. Macy
Dustin Hoffman
Tina Fey
Anne Hathaway
Sigourney Weaver
Ashley Judd
Sheryl Crow
Pink
Bill Maher
John Stewart
David Letterman
Any MSM anchor other than Fox
Betty White (unbelievable and saddening)
Madonna
Eva Longoria
Babs Streisand
Matt Damon
Rosie O’Donnell
Margaret Cho
Meg Ryan
Lindsey Lohan
Pamela Anderson
These idiots are all on my $hit list because they are all conformists to the liberal agenda without a modicum of individual, logical thought!
Here are some other general ones w/ their typical bashing:
Richard Gere - Bashes Bush
John Cusak - asked Holder to jail Bush
Carlos Santana - big time Che fan
Lily Tomlin - “saying zoo makes people think GITMO”
Will Smith - for crying about Barack Obama on Oprah and being the actor to play him in the upcoming movie
Sarah Silverman - loud and foul mouthed - what’s new?
Stephen Colbert - cried when Obama was announced as the next president
I’d have to excuse Lily Tomlin for that comment.They are dangerous animals and they are behind bars,kind of fits.
I will have to take back Angelina Jolie - this is quite a pleasant surprise in that a hollyweirdo is actually thinking??
I don’t put a lot of stock in celebrity opinions, but with so much of young hollywood caught up in the idea that Obama=Messiah, I thought it was kind of interesting that one of the most obsessed about celebrities ISN’T a rabid liberal.
It’s a long article. I just posted relevant bits below.
On Politics:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Clint Eastwood is one of our most famous Republicans. Did you talk politics with him on the set?
ANGELINA JOLIE: Actually, we don’t disagree as much as you’d think. I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama. Clint can teach me about things domestically and I’m more aware of some things internationally. So it was less a debate and more things we found interesting. But for the first few weeks I was just too nervous to get into any deep conversation!
On Ayn Rand:
Are you and Brad thinking about doing Atlas Shrugged together?
We’ve talked about that. But we’ve also talked about, Would that be good for the film? It would have to really work for the audience and not hurt the story. It’s been 50 years of people trying to pull a movie together. If it comes together it’d be hard to say no to. The people who have the rights are itching to do it. They were itching to do it before, but [looks at her pregnant belly] I got myself in a state!
On guns & justice:
Do you worry that people will have a hard time squaring this gun-toting character with your role as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador? They do seem quite incongruous.
I am a strong believer that without justice there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway. I’m somebody who’s very curious about the International Criminal Court and supportive of following through on the arrest warrants in Darfur. I’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say, ‘’Let’s all just get along.’’ I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable. I don’t think like in Wanted — which is an action movie — people should [just] be killed. I think there should be trials and justice. But the idea behind Wanted is not that she’s a badass assassin that just likes to kill people. It’s that, if you ran into Hitler before he did everything, and you knew, should you shoot him? And I would. These assassins are getting lists: They find out who is going to slaughter other people ahead of time and they remove them. So that was the side of me that identified with her. But it is a confusing thing, certainly for rights activists. Don’t read too much into it. I am holding a gun, but there are so many people that have done so many horrible things... Pol Pot died a grandfather in the jungle, most likely of old age. Never was punished for what he did.
Oh,and by the way, Mr Colbert-please hold a seance and try to make contact with your balls.
A sample of the comments from some of these cultural icons, taken over the past five years, should be enough to testify to the kind of political posturing that panders to the far left and passes today as radical chic:
Harry Belafonte: “ I not only think that they [U.S. leaders] are misguided, but I think they know exactly what they are doing and I think that they are men who are possessed of evil.”
Sandra Bernhard: “The infrastructure of America and the world is caving in, and George Bush is a figurehead of that.”
George Clooney: I believe he(Bush) thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can’t beat anyone anymore.”
Sheryl Crow: “I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.”
Janeane Garofalo: “This will potentially be one of the worst chapters in American history that will go on for twenty or thirty years, until democracy, in some fashion, is re-established.”
Larry Hagman: “[Bush is a] sad figure: not too well educated, who doesn’t get out of America much. He’s leading the country towards fascism.”
Jessica Lange: “I hate Bush; I despise him and his entire administration, everything he represents and everything he has tried to do, not only internationally, which is horrific, but domestically as well.”
Rosie O’Donnell: “You know [President Bush] invaded a sovereign nation [Iraq] in defiance of the U.N. He is basically a war criminal! He should be tried in the Hague!
Gwyneth Paltrow: “I think George Bush is such an embarrassment to America in the way that he doesn’t take the rest of the world into consideration. And it all seems to be for him and his friends to keep getting richer at the expense of a nation, at the expense of the environment. It’s like a full scale assault on the environment.
Sean Penn: “We now have a president who thinks in terms of good and evil, and that comes from watching too many Hollywood movies.”
Tim Robbins: “ In this time when a citizenry applauds the liberation of a country as it lives in fear of its own freedom. Let us find a way to resist fundamentalism that leads to violence—fundamentalism of all kinds, in al Qaeda and within our own government. What is our fundamentalism? Cloaked in patriotism and our doctrine of spreading democracy throughout the world, our fundamentalism is business, the unfettered spread of our economic interests throughout the globe.”
Julia Roberts: “He’s embarrassing. He’s not my president. He will never be my president.”
Susan Sarandon: “In the name of fear and fighting terror we are giving the reigns of power to oil men more interested in a financial bottom line than a moral bottom line. Oil men ready to expand their influence with new contracts on the soil our bombers have plowed…”
Martin Sheen: “Every time I cross the Canadian border I feel like I’ve left the land of lunatics. You are not armed and dangerous. You do not shoot each other. I always feel a bit more human when I come here.”
Patti Smith: “The world right now is being run by a**holes like George Bush and pharmaceutical companies, these greedy people who don’t care about the environment, who don’t really understand the poor, who don’t understand other cultures.”
Oliver Stone: “Bin Laden was completely protected by the oil companies in this country who told [President] Bush not to go after him because it would piss off the Saudis.”
Gore Vidal: We’re not a democracy, and we have absolutely nothing to give the world in the way of political ideas or political arrangements. God knows, the mention of justice is like a clove of garlic to Count Dracula.”
These words offer a window into a mindset that has regressed into its own form of group think. Insulated from the real world these doyens of political correctness slough off the absence of freedom in so much of the Muslim world. They seem generally unconcerned about the ubiquity of female circumcision, honor killings, wife beatings, the murder of homosexuals or the rising militancy of disaffected Muslim youth in Europe. They have little sympathy for the casualties of fundamentalist Islam – a fact given testimony by the enthusiastic Hollywood reception which greeted the release of the Palestinian film Paradise Now. There has been no suggestion of an international performance, such as the recently staged Live 8, by any major entertainment figure, to protest the genocidal slaughter of blacks in the Sudan. Their self absorbed pieties are instead reserved for a home grown evil that they find much easier to both identify and castigate.
Treason? Perhaps not. But it is unquestionable that they have given a measure of aid and comfort to the enemy. With a global audience listening, their pontifications have contributed to the notion that not only has the United States abdicated its role as a purveyor of justice, but is also morally bankrupt.
This jaundiced point of view has in turn been readily exploited by Muslim dictators and even many European leaders, anxious to see the United States’ influence on world affairs weakened. Moreover, as becomes clear from a reading of celebrity speeches and statements, there has emerged a disturbing moral asymmetry in their statements about right and wrong, good and evil. Actions, even ones as shocking as suicide bombing, are to be comprehended and analyzed rather than condemned. “ There is no right or wrong on this issue,” said actor George Clooney about his recently released movie Syriana which deals with terrorism and, in part, corrupt US policies in the Middle East. “ There is only understanding.”
Yet no matter what they believe, the United States is a country at war against terrorism and an uncompromising jihadist culture. That war is principally taking place in Iraq where the world awaits an outcome. A defeat, so it is widely recognized across the American political mainstream, could indeed mean the end of many of the kind of liberties we currently enjoy, even without further 9/11s. In this desperate undertaking there should be little doubt that our celebrities have weakened and tarnished the image of the United States and jeopardized our own struggle for freedom.-Avi Davis is a freelance journalist based in Los Angeles.
I heard they are serving Peanut butter sandwiches to the crowd during his speech.

There is also a conservative/republican underground group for those stuck in Hollyweird - they went to the premier of An American Carol by Zucker. Some names like Zucker and those in attendance were mentioned in my list above but there are also some new ones! (Man roaming around the internet is fun find these people!)
The underground group is called “Friends of Abe”
Among those attending: Dean Cain (Superman); James Caan (Godfather I and II, Bottle Rocket); Jon Voight (Midnight Cowboy, Deliverance); Robert Davi (License to Kill); Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk); Adam Carolla (The Man Show); Lacy Chabert (Party of Five); Angie Harmon (Law & Order); Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live); Gerald McRaney (Simon & Simon, Major Dad); Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men); Lorenzo Lamas (The Bold and the Beautiful, Renegade); Kevin Sorbo (Hercules); Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond); George Newbern (Father of the Bride); and Robert Duvall (The Godfather and The Godfather II, Apocalypse Now). The dinner co-chairman was Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of wildly popular television shows such as CSI, Cold Case, and Without a Trace, and films such as Pirates of the Caribbean.
A society can be judged on its culture: great literature, great art, great architecture, great music, etc. Would anyone care to give some examples of the “greatness” of culture that has been produced in the last half century. Here, I am tlaking about enduring classics that will live on in the centuries to come.
Ben Stein WAS an outspoken conservative until he went insane sometime in late 2007. The turning point was when he endorsed Al Franken for the Senate and donated the maximum to his campaign possible. He's only gone downhill since then, appearing on talk shows to say we need to "tax the rich" more because they don't pay their "fair share"
The young earth creationists types on FR still love him though.
Does it count as a boycott if you never go to movies anyway?
Good question. The last movie I went to and paid to see was Bruce Willis Die Hard 3 when visitng with my son in Georgia.
The last one before that was.. I truly can not recall, so one paid to see movie in the past 5, 8 - maybe 10 years...
As to the list there was not one person on it that I would willing watch for any reason nor were there any suprises....
You can add Samuel Jackson and Denzel Washington. Both are supporters of Obama.
I saw Garth Brooks, Miley Cyrus, and the Jonas Brothers on the list of people performing at or attending Inaugural Balls.
Quite true but with a caveat. Children like Cyrus amd the Jonas Bros are under contract to Walt Disney and basically go where and do what they are inmstructed by the owning company. Hard to make it personal with them unless you kow that they personally support something..
I think it sinful and nothing short of a crime that Disney is involved with using children to push this agenda....
The last movie I went to see was “Robin Hood Prince of Thieves”
and haven’t been back since. I’ve always had a strong dislike
for the Hollyweed idiots. They create events to honor themselves
that make no sense to me.
Oh wait, I did go see Glenn Becks “Christmas Sweater” does that count?
I give Ann Hathaway a bit of a pass because she is only a ditzy starlet and she is so ‘not guilty!
Interesting list there... Adam Carolla surprises me since he is an outspoken atheist...always had him pegged as a liberal...
My general philosophy towards paying to see movies is:, if the actor is a known loudmouth Left-winger (i.e. Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg types)...then I just wont pay to see it, period, even if there are other actors in the film whom I like..
If the actors politics are unknown, or just middle of the road or apolitical, then I’m fine with it...I still limit my moviegoing in general though since I dont like giving money to Hollywood..
For example, I love King of Queens, and have never really heard Kevin James say anything remotely political, either in his stand up routine, or in interviews...Which is fine by me, so my girl and I will go see his Mall Cop movie this week
I too was surprised to see Ben Stein on this list. I would not have put him on it, but it is true that he seems to have gotten a bit wobbly lately. He seems to be big on bailouts and got into a real cat fight with Cavuto on the subject.
Angeline Jolie—UN spokesperson, married to Brad Pitt.
Tom Cruise—creepy, Top Gun notwithstanding. And for having the real name Thomas Cruise Mapother IV
Katie Holmes—for marrying the Tom Cat.
Exception noted (as with Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet, & Sharon Stone): topless or FFN appearances ok.
Disagree about Ron Howard—Apollo 13 one of my all time faves. Don’t anybody diss Nicole Kidman—at least she had the sense to divorce the Tom Cat.
