I am sure that if these people boycotted every conservative, they probably would never go to a physician or dentist, nor would they have anyone to arrange thier offshore financial accounts to avoid the taxes they want on the rest of us.
Thank you for this. I don't understand people who have such a hatred of someone's political views that they would boycott their movies. I'm not a fan of Clint's views, however I like him as an actor/director. I used to loathe Oasis because they're such immature jerks, but then I realized I do like some of their songs so who cares? People who boycott Hollywood....I don't get it, can they honestly in true fashion say they NEVER watch movies, ever?? There are some liberal actors that I find a little annoying when they talk about politics, but why should I care? I love films, I don't care what someone's political leanings are. I watch films because it's entertainment...without entertainment, what does one do w/their life I wonder? It would be such a bleak life not having film or music in your life.

He directed "Into the Wild" & he starred in "Milk". That's the most recent ones I can think of. And I agree about the personal life. I mean, I can get disgusted or laugh or roll my eyes at what someone does in their personal life, but it truly has no bearing on their talent as an entertainer.

I think I am the only person in america that didn't totally love that movie. I didn't like the acting...I liked the message, just not the acting. But I have to say, like I mentioned before, even though I don't like Clint's politics, I do like him as an entertainer.

If you are then write to the companies who advertise with them. Let them know you are fed up with their support of the likes of David Letterman, Chris Mathews, Oprah, The View and so on!

Please post Television and Movies that you believe should be BOYCOTTED along with their sponsors!
Let's be honest here. Don't you mean, "boycott Hollywood liberal elitist celebrities".

You would be correct. I haven't seen anyone on this thread who hates hollywood talk about any of the right-leaning actors/directors. I wonder why that is?

I thought it was pretty good. I liked the nostalgia of it being an Eastwood movie. The message was good too. But you're right about the acting. It was a little hokey.

Because the conservatives in Hollywood are few and far between.

So what? They're still out there, why not bring those names out into the forefront to boycott?

Perhaps because they have not offended anyone.

LOL, ok. Why are you offended by what the liberal actors have to say? Is everyone that sensitive? Weird.
