Fun talk:Hollywood conservatives/Archive1

Sources?
Would be interested to see some sources on this page. Christian Bale, Jeff Bridges, David Lynch and (especially) Denzel "friends with Spike Lee" Washington 66.251.25.130 (talk) 01:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yah. Consider this entire page fact-tagged. In 96 hours I will begin removing all non-obvious names on the list. People who care can put them back with references. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.silverbrain.png 01:58, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've removed all uncited, as promised. Feel free to replace them with a reference. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.silverbrain.png 13:02, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * How about just deleting the whole thing? It's neither especially informative nor "fun".  18:09, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Absolutely agreed. A collection of anecdotes is not evidence.


 * Looking over this list, nearly half on the list are wrong. Tab Hunter? Lionel Barrymore? Frank Capra? Seriously? Whoever compiled this list has a very dubious idea of what cnstitutes a conservative.

Oh my fuck...
I'm not even going to go in to trying to link Frank Zappa with the republican party (whom he compared to communists and have you people ever heard his shit on the religious right? Attacking big business?), now you fucking moonbats are claiming U2 is a Christian Rock group? Somebody here at rationalwiki needs to do a page on rationalwiki.

 * Frank Capra? Lionel Barrymore? Neither of these men were particularly conservative and have no place on this list.

Would anyone mind if I did a bit of cleanup?
I really don't like the footnote layout. Also, I want to differentiate between conservatives and libertarians, because while they both are whores of business, they're still different from each other. Blitz (Complaints Box) 21:27, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Even some of the conservatives/libertarians aren't anymore. For instance, Rush (or, specifically, Neil, their drummer/lyricist) was way into Rand back in the 70's, but as an older, wiser man, he considers that an old shame. He grew out of Objectivism and seems pretty solidly on the left now.

Varg Vikernes and Skrewdriver?
One can hardly compare the fervently anti-Christian black metal musician and convicted murderer Varg Vikernes to the likes of Ron Reagan and Ted Nugent. Skrewdriver and the 80s British working-class nazi skinhead movement have also very little to do with "Conservatism". And neither of these musical acts are or have ever been popular or known in the Hollywood/American popular culture, as they are also very, very obscure in Europe. So they are not certainly examples of "successful widely-known Conservative/Libertarian-aligned entertainers". I'll remove them. JJohannes (talk) 12:15, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

JMS?
I mean, his Twitter feed doesn't suggest that. He probably does have some conservative viewpoints (Superman: Grounded) but Supreme Power (which I recommend, BTW) repeatedly mocks American imperialism and portrays the military as less-than-noble. RoninMacbeth (talk) 15:59, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. Forgot I'm a bot right now. Anyways, Care to comment, or should I remove JMS from list? RoninMacbeth (talk) 17:00, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll remove it. Christopher (talk) 18:44, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Wesley Snipes
Should we put him in, for the whole taxed scandal- thing. That was something the tea party was known for? &mdash; Unsigned, by: Tdog / talk / contribs
 * Does he claim to support conservationism? If not, don't stick him on the list. 03:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * In a interview back in februry. He said in a interview that Trump should go and see the Black Panther movie in a very positive light. no bitterness at all or calling him out. &mdash; Unsigned, by: Tdog / talk / contribs
 * I'll take that as a "no" then. 03:48, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok sorry for wasting your time. &mdash; Unsigned, by: 24.105.237.213 / talk

Way were Kevin Downes and Emma Elle Roberts taken off
they are conservative? Way were they taken off. Also does Israel Broussard count as a conservative. Granted he apologized after words. But then deleted his twitter account. So who knows if he was being honest.
