I understand that - my comment was not elated to that.

That earliest donation, to NATIONAL SECURITY PAC is interesting. According to http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/political_action_committees.htm

they're the group that aired the infamous Willie Horton ads.

Farr is also, by the way, Lebanese. I have both Christian and Muslim Lebanese friends, they all have a high regard for him. I neither know nor care what his religion or Mideast conflict leanings are. Glad to have him on board.

Right-wing wacko Lebanese folks like me appreciate it when well-known Lebanese citizens visibly support the cause. I just found out that Selma Hyak is Lebanses - if she is also a conservative, I might fall totally in love.

And you support the rights on one person to infringe upon that natural rights of everyone else. That is warped for a conservative.

So you see, it's no so simple as you simpleton "conservatives" imagine. I as a true conservative look at the bigger picture.

End of discussion because it is not the topic of this thread.

Not only was he war hero (being unit clerk gives you access to a typewriter and official forms, after all), I believe he's of Arab (Lebanese?) descent.

One this that I did that I found to be very interesting was to go to http://www.opensecrets.org and do a search by occupation. The "actor" one is fun to look at.

So that's how you do it. I couldn't find an occupation link on fundrace. Thanks for the info.

Yup, Jamie Farr is a conservative Republican; he even appeared in the audience for Limbaugh's TV show. He's also a real-life Korean war vet (the only MASH cast member to do so), a long-time spokesman for the Arab-American community (he comes from an Orthodox Christian family of Syrian and Lebanese descent), and has contributed most of his spare time to charity and philanthropic work (golf and otherwise). I wonder if Mike Farrell and Alan Alda still talk to him.

TRIVIA NOTE: Farr made his film debut in The Blackboard Jungle, under his real name of Jamal Farrah, alongside Sydney Poitier, Vic Morrow, and future director Paul Mazursky. He played Santini, the Italian student whom everyone mocked for not knowing English.

Werner Klemperer was a flaming lefty queen. Sorry.
