My point is that Reagan wasn't taken seriouslyin many quarters because he was a B lister. How did that work out for those who opposed his political POV (which went from left to right)?
MOO, it is well past time to dismiss as hacks, idiots, or "libtards" those who work in the entertainment industry. As an actor, Affleck's work has grossed over 1 billion USD in domestic ticket sales. He is now moving up the food chain as a director and a producer. (In some parts, he'd be called a "maker".)
But on second thought, let's do keep on insisting upon ideological conformity. Let's keep insulting and pushing away those who live their lives as they see fit. After all, that approach has worked wonders in the last two presidential elections.
