His comment had NOTHING to do with the actor in question, ...

... OKAY?

He used Alan Alda's response to a question on Inside the Actor's Studio as an excuse to parade his personal political viewpoint, and that doesn't belong here, IMHO.

His quote regarding Alda's politics: >>> "He had me charmed the first 30minutes or so with his exceptional intelligence vis. Acting...but then he blew it...BIG TIME! -- (he, Alda, said in regard to Hawk Eye's becoming a popular and well loved character) ...words to the effect... 'I think it was when I started speaking out publicly for the Equal Rights Amendment.' That did it and it confirms for me all the pre-conceived things one associates with those out of touch, Left Coast, Dumb Actors, who actually believes in their own press releases." <<<

If he thought that Alan Alda had been an inept public speaker, he would've said so, but in fact he pointed to having been charmed by Mr. Alda's intelligence up until that point. Clearly it was the politics of the actor which offended him. However, instead of simply saying that he disagreed with those views he attacked the viewpoint viciously and labeling Hollywood Liberal as if THAT were something to be ashamed of! IMHO, if either Mike or you, want to parade such views there is a place for it, ...it's called Outside Asylum (as YOU well know)!

No offense Victor, but your mirror crack's aside you might consider reflecting on the best place for such debates yourself.
