Hollywood Stars Shovel Cash Into Obama’s Campaign War Chest…

One-percenters united for Hope and Change.

Via Politico:

President Barack Obama has made plenty of enemies in Washington, but he can still count on his friends in Hollywood.

A-list movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith and Melanie Griffith shelled out for Obama’s campaign in the last three months of 2011, according to federal filings released earlier this week.

Among the host of other Hollywood donors who ponied up for the president: Peter Fonda and his daughter Bridget; Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon; Richard Dean Anderson, who’s best known as “MacGyver;” Ed Harris, Tate Donovan and Hilary Duff of the Disney Channel’s “Lizzie McGuire” show.

Wendell Pierce, who played William “Bunk” Moreland in the HBO drama “The Wire”, soap opera star Deidre Hall and Jada Pinkett Smith are among the other actors who helped the Obama campaign haul in a hefty $40 million in the last three months of the year.

It’s not the first time stars have opened their wallets for Obama. A slew of other famous actors including George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Sharon Stone and Alec Baldwin lined the president’s campaign coffers earlier last year.

Michelle Obama attended a fundraising event in Beverly Hills this week packed with Hollywood insiders that brought in nearly $1 million for her husband’s re-election campaign, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

    And how much in charity do any one of those shitholes give away? Probably less than any given conservative on a percentage basis. The only reason they would give to charity is to get a press announcement out of it to promote their next anti-American piece of shit movie that will bomb at the box office anyways.

    Of course, in a communist regime, which they apparently support, they would be waiting in line for toilet paper like the rest of the communists. They wouldn’t jet set off to Cancun or Paris. They would be allocated a house depending on their family size. They would make as much as the street sweeper or the neurosurgeon.

    Why do they support the Commie Obama? Because he is a celebrity, like them.

    Stop patronizing these donors work!

    If they make enough failed movies they will get the message we’ve had enough of their opinion.

    Do not go see any movies in which these micreants perform.

    Screw all these degenerate Hollywood fruitcakes. Boycott each and every movie or tv show these commie a-holes appear in. Make them pay for their betrayal of their country and so that when they are broke they will look back and curse the day they gave money to this communist president and his dreadful wife.

    To hell with them.

    Will Smith you are a no talent racist hack who totally blows as an actor same goes for your scrawny wife.
    Sharon Stone – you are an aging crowbar whose chief claim to fame is flashing your stench pot on screen in a crappy movie.
    Tom Hanks you are a puffy, aging douche who has forgotten how lucky you are to have made a pile of dough pretending for a living.
    George Clowney – Your acting style consists of always looking like you are suffering from severe constipation and are always hoping there is a bathroom just around the corner.
    Alec Baldwin – A bloated, moronic Irish drunk who is just plain lucky.
    Melanie Griffith – Best role is playing a real life crack ho’.

    I could go on but the list is endless.

  23. GladHeart says:
    February 3, 2012 at 5:46 pm

    Have to make a complete list and refuse to see their movies at the theater or buy their DVDs/Blue-rays. If enough people do this, it might have some impact on them, but I doubt it. In any case, none of them are especially outstanding in their field.

  24. 24Klady says:
    February 3, 2012 at 5:47 pm

    Again folks, it’s our fault. If you buy their products or go to the movies they get their cut. Hell, even renting or watching re-runs on the movie channels they get their cut. Hollyweird is controlled by unions. I have read where professional golfers are the most conservative out of all sports figures. My husband uses that excuse to tie up the bigscreen with the golf channel for hours on end….. ;)

    Never mind.
    The last DVD I bought was ‘The King`s Speech” last year. I don`t plan on anymore DVDs in the near future. I`m an 8 year member of Netflix, and mostly rent/watch British or Australian dramas anyway.

    Shut up morons…..Stupid jealous conservatives always hating. What about those dummies who supported dumb McCain and dumb Bush.

    At least their are some in Hollywood with some sense about who to support.

    If these hollywood stars would have came out for your dumb incompetent conservative GOP you would not be complaining. Conservative are so ignorant.

    Someone should ask them WHY they support him.

    Hollywood wonders why their ticket sales are going down. Hollywood is a snake pit of vipers. The concept of a group of morally loose, drug abusing sexual deviants churning out leftist propaganda to brainwash a previously unsuspecting public are coming to an end. We know what they are up to now. They have drawn a line in the sand and they are on the wrong side. Find some new way to spend your money rather than fattening the pockets of evil mutants. Take a stand for GOOD.

    @allAmerican
    Do your homework. GW Bush is the only president to hold a MBA. His grades are better than Gore or Kerry’s and he went to Harvard just like Chicago Jesus, the smartest man in the room. Are his grades better than President Bush’s. WELL, WE DON’T KNOW BECAUSE THE INFORMATION IS HIDDEN ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER TRANSCRIPTS, COLLEGE APPLICATIONS, ADOPTION RECORDS, etc.

    They got so rich doing nothing and they fear being found out. They are shallow fools paying tribute to o-hole, trying to buy their way into the ‘cool’ crowd.

    And hoping to look sincere and compassionate so the occupiers eat them last.

    My advise to Hollywood….make movies and keep your political pie hole shut. To take sides politically and I mean either side, I will boycott all movies associated with politics as well as all advertizers.

  50. Xavier says:
    February 3, 2012 at 8:46 pm

    FYI – there are a lot of legally free old movies available at Internet Archive – look under Moving Images. There’s lots of other stuff too, like propaganda films and old time radio. Although it isn’t modern, I’ve found most of the great stories have already been told, and many of today’s movies are just updates of old classics.

    Oh yeah. Fuck these whiny self centered assholes who make movies today. Even if Hollywood didn’t support bs, I wouldn’t give them a cent. Boycott? Hell, my life is a boycott.

    Bee1:

    We just rented “The King’s Speech”. It was a great, uplifting movie without the usual leftwing horseshit. We also liked “The Queen”, more because of Helen Mirren. She may be a leftwinger, but she was graceful and thanked Queen Elizabeth II for her years of unwavering public service. The same thing can’t be said of any of the elected Democrat shit now in office.

  61. Bee1 says:
    February 4, 2012 at 1:24 am

    We have it easier than those poor people in the Depression of the 1930`s. We can bitch about those commie jerks to our hearts content. The people of the 1930`s never had that luxury.
    We can go one better. We can boycott those SOB`s and we can tell them why.
    I haven`t been to a movie theater since the early 1990`s when hubby and I saw Julia Roberts in “Sleeping With The Enemy”. Which was ironic because when Clinton became President, we couldn`t afford to go to the movies anymore.

    Okay, let me try to understand the Hollywood perspective. These people are brazenly inept at picking at quality projects like 99% of the time, but I am supposed to listen to their views on matters pertaining to complicated political issues? Eesh, I doubt most of these idiots can read without moving their lips.
