Ailing Paul Newman Turns Over $120M to Charity
Tuesday, June 10, 2008

By Roger Friedman

Movie star Paul Newman has quietly turned over the entire value of his ownership in Newman’s Own — the company that makes salad dressing and cookies — to charity.

Which would make him a Democrat at most. What makes him a liberal? What are his stances on social issues? Abortion? Homosexuality? Legalization of currently illegal drugs? The economy?

No, he is a liberal.

Read up on him.

He was on Nixon's enemies list. For realz.

Paul Newman is definitely among my favorite celebrities. His movies were awesome and after he stopped acting he devoted his life to charitable causes.

And his products are awesome. Newman's Own Limeade is AMAZING.

And he used to be hot+++

In other words you don't know his position on anything you'd just rather call him a liberal. Thanks for proving why your logic is no match for the real world.
 
Navy's wrong about everything, except this...Newman really really is a liberal. He was like the Hollywood liberal of the 60s, he was the eras Sean Penn, except less retarded and hotter and better in all ways.

He was actually on Nixon's list of enemies.

Haha, tell that to the numerous independents & moderates, as well as Republicans and conservatives, that support Obama.

Typical NP... anyone that doesn't agree with you is a liberal.
 

That is what I am saying......I think Newman is a great American..........He is also a great actor........A couple of my favorite movies he was in are Cool and Luke and Hud............
 
Moderator's Warning:

So were 30,000 other people.

Can you provide his position on :

Abortion, gay marriage, homosexuality, the economy, drugs etc?
 
He's not a politician so his positions aren't on an ideology database; it'd take forever to find quotes on specific issues from some aging actor.

The dude is as liberal as I am, possibly more so. Him and Jane Fonda were BFF.

He campaigned intensely for McCarthy in '68. He was the Hollywood liberal.

No he was on the big list:

Verbatim text of Colson's original memo (with his comments)

"Having studied the attached material and evaluated the recommendations for the discussed action, I believe you will find my list worthwhile for status. It is in priority order."

...19. Paul Newman, California: Radic-lib causes. Heavy McCarthy involvement ’68. Used effectively in nationwide T.V. commercials. ’72 involvement certain.

You brought up his liberalism in a topic that had NOTHING to do with liberalism. However it's nice to see you can't provide any of his stances on anything.

I don't have to..........Everyone is in agreement that Newman is a liberal and unlike you he does not shy away from the label...............

I just wish all Liberals put there money where their mouth is like Newman did.....I grew up watching his movies and always though he was one if not the best male actor in Hollywood.......
