Hollywood's Liberal Bias

This is kind of old, but here's an article from the November 18th edition of Parade Magazine that confirms Hollywood's liberal bias.
Celebs Vote With Their Checkbooks

She can’t make up her mind about Dr. Derek Shepherd on Grey’s Anatomy, but for now, Ellen Pompeo is committed to Barack Obama. The TV star has given $4,600 to him. Others are still waffling, with Paul Newman pledging maximum amounts to Obama, Christopher Dodd and Hillary Clinton. Actors and actresses have given more than $585,000 to Presidential candidates so far, with 93% to Democrats and 7% to Republicans. Who’s ahead in the race for donations? Obama and Clinton are first and second among Democrats; Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney occupy those spots in the GOP field. And even though Fred Thompson was one of them—he starred on TV’s Law & Order—he reportedly has received only $350 from actors and actresses.
I'm not surprised that the Hollywood types aren't contributing to Fred's campaign, since he is a darned Republican. Paul Newman is obviously hedging his bets, betting on 3 Democratic candidates. He doesn't want to be on the winning candidate's bad side, although it looks like he doesn't expect Edwards to get the nomination.

So the next time Hollywood comes out with borderline seditious movies like "In the Valley of Elah", "Redacted", "Lions for Lambs", or "Rendition", remember that 93% of Hollywood's political donations were for Democrats and take your entertainment dollars elsewhere.
