I have no argument with you.
I was thinking of people like Ezra Pound, not partisans (hacks?) writing on political subjects for dailies or monthlies.

When artists become known more for their partisan politics than their performance, then the magic is lost for the audience. When I see Sean Penn, I think "traitor went to Iraq". His politics have made him unable to mold into his current movie role, IMO. I can't separate his politics from his movie persona, and the magic of escape is destroyed for me.
