Not necessarily Hollywood, but celebrities who are stupid rightwingers.
Victoria Jackson - called Obama a communist
Ted Nugent - gun freak banned from hunting in several states. Shortly before 2008 election, complimented Palin and said that Social Security is antisocial and insecure. To avoid going to Vietnam, he avoided nourishing food, defacated in his pants for a week... was present at the "I have a scheme" rally with Glenn Beck.
Pat Sajak - took credit for bringing Keith Olbermann into journalism, and wished he never had. A week later, Olbermann was reinstated. So Sajak brought Olbermann out of ESPN and onto MSNBC?
Stephen Baldwin - you know who he is!
Mel Gibson - batshit crazy papist known for antisemitism and beating his girlfriend.
Arnold Scharzenegger - the "governator" who blocked much needed legislation, cut taxes, brought California to near bankruptcy.

Good thing I don't remotely care about any of these people. Only Stephen Baldwin comes close, and even then it's just because he shares a name with Adam Baldwin. Adam is, apparently, a "small government conservative libertarian," to quote wikipedia, which is usually code for "batshit insane teabagger," but his posts over at Big Hollywood point to the normal sort of conservative stuff (with some doses of moderatism, even) rather than the bonus crazy we get from teabaggers. |

Nugent was the first person I thought of when I saw the thread title.
Conservative as he may be, I wouldn't say Schwarzenegger falls into tea-bagger territory.

Arnold was a mixed bag though. He did some things that were and were not typical to his party.

He's a bit more reasonable about social freedoms than many Republicans.

Yeah I'd replace the Governator with Jon Voight.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like Pat Sajak. He always rubbed me the wrong way; now I know why.

Arnold feels more libertarian, and even then he never went as far as teabaggers often do. Part of California's budget crisis is caused by the state's impossible laws which heavily restrict the entire process of approval itself. Jon Voight, on the other hand, seems to be Fox's favorite celebrity after Chuck Norris. www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/13/jon-voight-obama-rapes-th_n_535441.html |

Ted Nugent actually earned a spot on Buffalo Beast's "Most Heinous Climate Villains of 2010": Ted NugentMisdeeds: Went from heading a psychedelic band in the ’60s to touring in militia fatigues and howling “suck my machine gun, Obama.” Hangs out with Sean Hannity and Massey Coal’s Don Blankenship, and played guitar at Don’s ‘09 “Friends of America” mountaintop removal celebration. Said our problems in Iraq are caused by the fact that we decided “not to Nagasaki them.” As an inspiration to today’s obtuse libertarians, he purports to despise all “Big Government” regulation and handouts, yet as the national spokesman for DARE, Ted receives federal funds to help local law enforcement regulate drug use. Corporate Teats: Massey Coal, National Rifle Association, Republican Party, old people with terrible taste in music. Most Egregious Lie: “Global warming is a fraud. Watch Glenn Beck.” Comeuppance: Cat scratch syphilis www.buffalobeast.com/?p=3721 |

Isn't Ted Nugent the replacement scrappy that TV shows bring in shortly before cancellation?

He's a bit more reasonable about social freedoms than many Republicans. He married into the Kennedy family (specifically, JFK's niece). He'd probably have been savagely beaten by a team of Irish black-marketeers if he didn't make some concessions to social liberalism. |

I'd like to make a take-back on the Governator.
But Cthulhu damn it, how could I forget Chuck Norris? Brand atheists, president of Texas in case of secession...
