why does IMDB onl let lefties write biographies on Americans?Ward Bond's

Ward Bond's involvement with the "black listing" of Hollywood led to several convictions. Look at Washington now, communism abounds. As far as actual blacklisting, it only led to Ward's inability to get work. Thanks to Americans like John Ford and John Wayne, Ward was able to make a living. Although some on the left have classified Ward Bond as "arrogant with little tact." The truth is that Ward Bond was an American of conviction continuously paying homage to what he believed was the greatest country in the world. John Wayne considered him his best friend. Nuff said.

Why does IMDB let liberal hacks write biographies?

Doesn't look to me like they've taken your post down. Why don't you write your own review of the movie. Of course, if you put down a movie just because you dislike the personal politics of the star, you're not really doing a very good job of it; but hey, knock yourself out!

Can you show me where in the biography submission procedure IMDB asks about your politics, so they can be sure they "only let liberals" write them?

Your observation says more about you than about the "majority of writers."

Ward Bond's work speaks for himself, the first time around that the American Film Institute picked their top 100 films-Bond is the actor who appears in more of them than any other, albeit as a character actor. In his day, he was widely sought to be in films-a wide range of them. Politics aside, i can't stand several leftwing leaning actors political viewpoints, but i like their acting work. If you don't like Ward Bond's acting fine, don't watch him-but he is in a lot of classics you will end up missing.

Crikey I'm glad I don't live in the paranoia that is the USA and can enjoy an actor for his work and not be aware of his politics.

For the ignoramus' that beleive being liberal is communism pr being conservative is fascism is ignorant, small minded and pathetic.

I don't know Bond's politics but I like his acting.

No wonder the world looks at you guys sometimes and shakes their heads.

Crikey, perhaps we should be shaking our heads at people that base their view of an entire country on a lame forum posting of one individual.
