Who do you regard as "Hollywood Liberals"? From the past: "The Hollywood Ten," Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas, John Garfield, Katherine Hepburn, Stanley Kramer, Norman Lear, Paul Newman, Edward G. Robinson, and Gale Sondergaard . . . to list but a few.. In the present: Warren Beatty, George Clooney, Jane Fonda, Mark Hamill, Spike Lee, the aforementioned Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Rob Reiner . . . among many others. Regarding V.3's swipe at the Hollywood movie industry, the fame, fortunes, and idolatry lavished on movie stars and filmmakers* . . . to quote William Shakespeare out of context, "The fault . . . is not in our stars, but in ourselves." To use another quote, "Don't hate the player. Hate the game." If Hollywood demigods and demigoddesses are outrageously adored, worshipped, exalted, and rewarded by society, the blame lies not with them but with society whose cultural values are seriously twisted. * And also showered on ridiculously overpaid and idolized "superstar" athletes and fashion models.
