You forgot the first part of my request. Who are you talking about? Violent leftists don't represent liberals any more than violent neo-Nazis represent conservatives.

Wingnuts, you can't live with them, you can't get rid of them.

The great problem of our lifetime.

Why do people care what actors say about, well, pretty much anything other than movies, TV shows, plays, acting and the like?

I understand their role as role models re: things like fashion, style, gossip about other entertainers, and other superficial things. I don't know why, unless one's conversing directly -- on the phone or face-to-face -- with an actor, one would give a damn about what any of them have to say about jurisprudence and public policy and other such subjects. On such matters, the merit of their thoughts is no different than that of any other "Tom, Dick or Harry on the street;" it's just that one may recognize the actor's face and know his/her name.

On, say, economic policy, the input of economists is worth consuming. On legal matters, jurists', legal scholars, and other attorneys merits one's attention. On the role of XYZ firm, the firm's execs' input is worth receiving. And so on and so on....Unless, however, one is currently engaged in a conversation with a given actor, what s/he has to say isn't of any particular merit. Voters, citizens aren't any better informed because they know what Ellen Page, Madonna, Oprah, or any other actor thinks about policy and decisions re: trade, crime and punishment, the environment, etc.

And mind, you, I'm talking about actors, not satirists. I know for cursory cogitators the two may seem the same. They're not. Satirists differ from other editorialists only in that a satirist's primary "vehicle" for expressing his/her point is humor, whereas editorialists are largely somber in their delivery of their thoughts.
