I believe both Hanks and Stone are LLLs (looney liberal leftists). If that's true (and I'm pretty sure it is) I would NOT want them doing any promotion of the movie or being held up as exponents of any of its ideas. Both Woods and Locklear are Republicans and capable of standing up for their ideas. Woods was on Donny Deutsch last night yelling, "Rudy in '08!", and Locklear has spoken at some GOP functions in Thousand Oaks or thereabouts.
Ayn Rand was a vicious bytch who had no understanding of either conservatism or humanity. She hated the communists, sure. So did Hitler.
