This fan isn't liberal. Also, Heinlein and Bradbury are libertarian/conservative I believe.

Not in my experience, but I don't know many of the authors. As far as fans are concerned, I thought we had to read in the closet?

Speaking of good sci fi, has anyone else been watching the new Battlestar Galactica? I hated the old series, but the new series is spectacular.

Most artist types are liberals, because they're all about feelings.

Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle are conservatives I believe....Lucifers Hammer, The Mote in God's Eye, among others.

Hard to say about authors... I'd guess probably no more so, and maybe even less, than authors from other fiction genres. Since distopian futures prevail in futuristic sci-fi, I'd have to say that there is a certain distrust of society and government that is hard to reconcile with modern liberalism.
As far as fans go, they're all over the board. There are plenty of sci-fi fans here at FR, and I'm sure an equally representative set over at DU.

Terry Gookind by his writing appears to be at least moderate or Libertarianish. He is defiantly Anticommunist.

Isaac Azimov was a far-right conservative, as was Gene Roddenberry.
And Bobby Fischer has a love affair with Jews.

I love Sci-fi and I'm definitely conservative.

Funny how most of the alien societies in science fiction are either dictatorships or blissfull modens of socialism/communism.
Anyone ever read the "In the Balance" series by Harry Turtle Dove? Best sci-fi I ever read.

It depends on what they are fans of.
If you are talking Hard Science Fiction or 'Fur Jockstrap' fantasy, most or all are Libertarian or hard right.
Most fantasy fans are liberal.

Orson Scott Card does a lot of conservative commentary.
