THEY DON'T ALL STINK IN HOLLYWOOD: A LIST OF THE GOOD GUYS

[Cinnamon Girl]

It seems like everyone has been making lists lately of all the big mouths in Hollywood who like to spew their hate speech against President Bush and share their ignorance about foreign affairs. There's even a website dedicated to the subject: www.hollywoodhalfwits.com.

But is there a Festivus for the rest of us? Little by little, conservatives, or at least supporters of President Bush, are making themselves known, sometimes against their own better judgment.

Here's a list, with quotes:

1. Shlomo Goldberg. Who is Shlomo Goldberg? Try actor Steve Bond, who played "Jimmy Lee Holt" on General Hospital. He called into the Larry Elder show on Monday to come out as a conservative, who, to top it off, was born in Israel. Steve spoke eloquently about the liberals' foolish faith in the U.N. inspectors. Someone give this guy a good role!

2. James Woods: "I like the Rumsfeld approach to things, you know. If they're not right, shoot ‘em. I’m not about appeasing any of these crappy little Arab states that want to hold us hostage with oil, you know, and decide they’re going to use terrorism or state support it." (from the Conway & Steckler show)

3. James Earl Jones: Said he doesn't oppose U.S. military action in Iraq, provided the country gets involved as soon as necessary and stays to finish the job. (from Fox News)

Kelsey Grammer: ``The thing I most respond to in the political arena is people that actually don't play politics, and I think President Bush comes from a place that is sincere.'' (from AP via NYT)

Heather Locklear: "He's a scumbag," said the vixen of "Spin City" and formerly of "Melrose Place." But Locklear was quick to clarify: She was talking about President Josiah Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. (from the Weekly Standard)

(the following is according the the Philadelphia Enquirer:)

Babylon Five's Tracy Scoggins

Senator-turned-Law-&-Order-star Fred Thompson: "Thank goodness we have a President with the courage to protect our country."

Libertarians: Drew Carey, Lisa Kennedy, Kurt Russell, Penn and Teller, Tommy Chong, Russell Means

John Malkovich: caused an outcry last summer when he told a group of Cambridge students he'd like to shoot a certain anti-Israel, anti-American member of Parliament.

Conservative Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton is honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life.

Emma Caulfield, who plays Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Identifies herself as a Republican, and has said she would take a break from acting to actively campaign for Elizabeth Dole, in the event that Ms. Dole runs for president again in a future election." (from Internet Movie Database)

Ron Silver: "I kind of like Rumsfeld's 'old Europe versus the new Europe,' and we saw it in the last two weeks, with France and Germany, who were not with us on June 6, 1944, I don't know why we expect them to be with us today."

R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine who played the scary drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket: "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her hummingbird brain has had a chance to catch up. Ms. Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Bruce Willis, White House spokesman for children in foster care: Willis purchased 12,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies from his 8-year-old daughter Tallulah Belle to support military personnel serving in the Middle East. His cookies were given to Marines and Sailors onboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, and Army and Air Force personnel in Afghanistan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: may run as a Republican for governor of California.

Dennis Miller on Hardball: Matthews: “Did you vote for him?” Miller: “Yes I did.” Matthews: “First time you voted Republican? I feel like I’m Brian Lamb here.” Miller: “Well, you know, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell. I’ll tell you about Bush, but I, you know I-” Matthews: “Are you a lifelong Republican or a lifelong Democrat?” Miller: “I was a lifelong Democrat for a long time.” Matthews: “Did you switch for Bush?” Miller: “Well I switched for other reasons. I began to find the dialogue on the left side of it to be getting a little strident."

Norm McDonald: where is he?

Charlton Heston on Today Show: Lauer demanded: "Have you ever gotten up one morning, read the newspaper or seen the news about a particularly horrific crime or event that involved a shooting and thought even for a second, I may be on the wrong side of this issue?"
Heston: "No I never felt that."

Wow! I've always liked him as an actor but this is good stuff. However, I thought I saw his name on one of the against America lists.

R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine who played the scary drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket: "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her hummingbird brain has had a chance to catch up. Ms. Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Spoken like a true DI

[mware]

Regis is a Republican. I have heard him defend the president numerous times when he appeared on other talk shows.

Ted Nugent

Emma Caufield! Now i don't feel so bad for being addicted to buffy

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

JACKSON: Just pay your taxes. Stop standing up and saying, "We need to lend our money to so-and-so." You make $20 million a picture. Shut the f**k up and give them a million dollars. Don't ask Joe Everyday for $5. He might need that $5. You've got money to burn.

Wow. Now that's refreshing.

[Alouette]

I can't believe that you forgot MEL GIBSON!

Patriotic music stars (FORGET obnoxious Sheryl Crow):

Alan Jackson
Toby Keith
Faith Hill
Darryl Worley

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Bump so I can check it later.

[mommadooo3]

Charlie Daniels.

[KevinDavis]

Babylon Five's Tracy Scoggins
Now I know I liked Babylon 5 over Star Trek.

[FrdmLvr]

From the tone of his questions, I suspect Pat is too.

Pat Sajak is a conservative.

Let's not forget Mel Gibson.

[Happy2BMe]

I voted for Saddam and all I got was this bloody T-Shirt!

Ask not what you can do for your country - ask what you can do for Iraq!

Same face - different war.

[Happy2BMe]

"Let's not forget Mel Gibson."

No - let's not. Hooray for Mel and all those patriots who (by their profession) unfortunately have to have their names ASSociated with Whorleywood.

Thanks for this post - hopefully we can start getting some good, positive, uplifiting comments from some of these actors on this thread in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Start postin'

You are correct. Pat Sajak is very Conservative. Last year, Pat gave a lecture at Hillsdale College entitled The Disconnect Between Hollywoood and America. You can read the text of his lecture here:

In it, he lashes out very eloquently against the left-media. It is a VERY good read. Check it out.

Kevin, you liked B5 over Star Trek because it had a plot rather than mindless wanderings about the universe.

Vic & Cav. Sam Jackson, I knew I liked his acting for a reason.

Semper Fi

John Malkovich: caused an outcry last summer when he told a group of Cambridge students he'd like to shoot a certain anti-Israel, anti-American member of Parliament.

Boy would I like to know more about that!

[Bryan24]

Ronn Silver is a HUGE liberal. I seriously doubts he supports President Bush.

"Those are OUR planes, now." - Ron Silver at the Bill Clinton Inaugural when a flight of fighter planes flew overhead. Someone groused about the military's presence, prompting Silver's comment.

[KevinDavis]

That too. To me B5 was more realistic vision of the future than Star Trek.

[JoshGray]

The "good ones" are either running for office or keeping their mouths shut. I don't want my actors politicing any more than I want my politicians acting.
