Republicans spend too much time complaining about liberals boycotting the advertisers on conservatives

Billy Joel never makes political statements on stage. He makes a point of not insulting his audience.
For a while, I thought Rage Against the Machine was actually a parody of a left-wing “radical” band- sort of like a politicized Spinal Tap.
That’s a perfectly reasonable assumption too.
In college, I dated a few black women. It seemed like their families had much stronger objections to interracial dating than the typical white family. Especially the families of the “upper crust” black women I associated with.
I can’t generalize from my anecdotal experience, but I have seen my observations corroborated by survey research.
Buggy Woogy Bugle Boy of Company B was Bette’s highwater mark. Now she’s just flushable.
I’ve been with a few mulattos and morenas around the world
Wouldn’t call it dating though
No complaints
For marrying and progeny I prefer my own tribe and culture
Call me antique...lol
But if there's a no. #1 example of a top liberal activist celebrity that gullible conservatives fork over money to, it would be George cLooney. A bunch of conservatives were gushing over his 2011 film "The Ides of March" (where the talented Mr. Clooney basically plays himself... a demagoguing liberal loudmouth with oodles of fans) He took the millions he made in 2011 and used the money and clout to headline an Obama fundraiser in 2012 and get his pal re-elected. Good going, conservatives.
Well, I married a woman of my same “tribe”... it’s not antique.
If that’s the criteria you have to boycott virtually all entertainment since somewhere in the process there are Obama supporters.
Psy
Sheryl Crow
The Vichy Chicks (except the fat one is a solo act now, did they find another another replacement (she wasn’t a founding member anyway))
Brooos Springstein
Moby (dickless)
Madonna
Bette Midler
Barbra(sic) Streisand (BS for short)
Rage Against The Machine (no not the lame music machine, Capitalism comrade!)
Kanye West
Heino is apparently safe, for now.
On the contrary, blacklists (when held firm) are incredible effective.
The so-called blacklist of Hollywood Communists (REAL card carrying Communists) was not fully supported by the studios. Pseudonyms were used so that the ticket buying public who WAS looking for the involvement of certain names would not know of the participation. I doubt that at key places in production and check writing, someone didn't know.
Meanwhile conservatives ARE blacklisted by Hollyweird. If you back Obama, you get magazine coverage (by the same corporate media that owns the tv/film studios and record labels).
Without the support, it's as if you don't exist.
The music I listen to IS largely off the radar of the mainstream (because I don't listen to music on radio, pop40, moldy gold 70s/80s, or left of the dial taxpayer subsidized Pacifica or NPR). A lot of things weren't recognized in their time by the masses because the suits had some other act to sell.
I'm not hurting for entertainment, but the culture at large doesn't mean a flip to me because it is openly hostile to me, my politics, God and country.
Yeah, I actually used to like green day unt they “came out” politically, then I took their CD’s to the range.
They can’t be conservatives. Most likely they are RINOs
Not so far. :)
There were people saying that we shouldn’t see the anti-Islamist Argo because Clooney produced it.
Dixie Chix are already gone.
The rest are fringe or one hit wonders.
In general they are all just bad performers.
