That's a bunch that's done more harm to the "thinking" of many Americans than Hollywood ever has. Let's face it, Rush Limbaugh (sportscaster) and Bill O' Reilly (entertainment reporter) have no business trying on any channel that has "News" in its name.
The difference between actors and sportscasters is that actors can not air their political opinions in their work, other than the political stance the movie 'takes'.
Sportscasters can slip in their political 'bias' in any (sports) comment they make while being 'on air'.
Anywayz, does the American public has the right to determine which movie an American actor should make? It seems to me that the public can only vote on this issue with their money, but even then it is no guarantee that actors will quit making 'anti-American' movies.
I just wish actors would stop trying to sway everyone else b/c they make a lot of money. Yes they are on tv or in movies but I'm not going to listen to their political views b/c of it. That's like all the folks who have all of a sudden decided they will vote for Obama b/c Oprah likes him! WTF???? Who is she to tell everyone to vote for him? Research and make up your own mind! You can read a book b/c Oprah says so but don't vote for a presidential candidate b/c she says so! And no, I haven't made up my mind who I'm voting for yet but that blows my mind. Sorry to highjack!

There's that old logical fallacy. If people pay attention to actors because they are rich (or any other reason) - that is NOT the fault of the actor. Blame those who are so fascinated and swayed by fame and riches.
Since the Fox News anchors are truly actors and not journalists, I think they fit this catagory. They have an ongoing campaign to assault American values, principles, the Constitution and patriotic Americans. They are an insidious and constant threat to America; however I am sure that we will prevail. What austinsmom said in her first sentence, applies.
It must suck being famous and having people quote your most embarrassing ill-expressed ideas. Having said that, not all actors are "idiots." I can't think of one who isn't, but that just means I'm not well-informed about Hollywood. I had no idea, for example, that Chuck Norris was such a faschist.

Moderator cut: edit
Anyway, B. Frank is the only one here making any sense. You don't have to listen to what anyone famous says.

Reason: inflammatory remark
He wasn't!...It's thought to have came to light in a biography, That he was a sympathiser and spy, But the rumour was false.
Flynn was never "Anti-American", As he was born in Australia and became an American citizen in 1942
I don't have a good backup - but I learned this from a trusted professor of 20th century US History...
Flynn (and some other non-celebrity types) were "sympathatic" to Hitler before what he was doing was known. That is, they saw him as a positive political force for Germany and Europe - before the atrocities came to light.

Well, It's certainly possible that I was mistaken.....Flynn could have indeed been a Sympathiser?, But too the best of my knowledge, The biography that started the rumour was a fraud.
