Sorry Toney, you cannot compare being a garden-variety republican supporter to being an extreme left wing political activist like Mr. Penn. If I boycotted all Hollywood liberals, I might as well just toss out my TV. Great actor, sure. Does he have the right to spew his BS at every opportunity the way he does, absolutely. But in doing so he must be aware that his politics may effect his gate. As I don't have his stage, the best way I can voice my opinion of him is with my wallet.
Years ago, when asked why he didn't endorse candidates or get involved in politics, Michael Jordan said something along the lines of "Republicans buy shoes too". Brilliant.
Also - I can and do think for myself - please note my original message was posted days before today's headline regarding Bill O'Reily.
