Just how much do many Hollywood liberals hate conservatives?

In an interview with Playboy, Ben Affleck said, "When I watch a guy [on film] I know is a big Republican, part of me thinks, I probably wouldn’t like this person if I met him":

PLAYBOY: You developed a political profile campaigning for presidential candidates Al Gore, John Kerry and Barack Obama. How did that come about?

AFFLECK: I grew up in a house with a mother who was a teacher and a Freedom Rider—very left-wing Democrats living in a heterogeneous working-class neighborhood.

Ben Aflac is NOT an actor. I’ve seen the evidence.

I think there might be more than we know. The smart ones probably keep quiet so it doesn’t affect their work.

This is of course, based on nothing.

I could never be a Hollywood actor — to many sexual favors to be performed just to get movie roles. A very sorry lot of people who will do anything to their country and its people for MONEY.

What Republican actor ? Hollyweird has been practicing what they accused McCarthy of for 6 decades straight now towards non-leftists.

Why?

We’ve never had a cannibal as president. Would that be exciting?

“Ben Affleck said, “When I watch a guy [on film] I know is a big Republican, part of me thinks, I probably wouldn’t like this person if I met him”:”

I do not have a problem with him making this statement. I hate all democrats, liberals, left-wingers, progressives, socialists, communists and totalitarians. They all have mental illness.

We’re even affleck!

Ron Silver was conservative. James Woods is conservative. I believe Andy Garcia is conservative.

A real think for himself kind of guy. Just goes to show that if it isn't written for him, he can't think it.
