Who are your favorite political comedians and musicians?

Libertarian

George Carlin, because he was honest. I don't think he was a liberal though. He despised both sides and the whole process they created, I thought.

Ted Nugent, because we agree on a lot of things.

Authors, you left out a big segment of the entertainment market there. Ken Kesey, Hunter S Thompson, Bill Burroughs, Thomas Paine, Robert Pirsig, Sun Tzu, are all on my bookshelf. Quite the eclectic mix, I know.

As for entertainment I enjoy, and politics I disagree with...pretty much all of Hollywood and music. I love Pearl Jam, till Eddie Vedder starts running his mouth. Same for Cameron Diaz. Thankfully, I've not heard Les Claypool say much about politics.

George Clooney, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore...well I just plain don't like any of them. They were not that talented to begin with, and their politics drowns what little talent they do have.

I love Stephen Colbert, he's my favorite. I watch SNL sometimes too.

I listen to a lot of my "hippie" music, and I suppose some of it is anti-war, anti-materialism, anti-fascism stuff. You know, Joan Baez, that sort of thing. Most of it is just the indie chamber stuff I like because the sound; the message isn't always as important as the sound. I like the messages, but that isn't everything. My boyfriend is a musician and I play guitar and the mandolin, so our tastes aren't necessary molded by our political views.

It depends on the day really. I am a Rock Musician so I appreciate art from any political persuasion and I like most good comedians. The list is just too long.

Aus Rotten

I'd have to say that I like all the comedians you listed and many more. It's hard to find any right-wing comedians because when they try comedy, it isn't funny, just mean.

As for music, I like Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen and Bonnie Raitt.

I feel "political comic" is an oxymoron. If anyone tells me what I wish to listen to and I snigger due to the fact that I desired to listen to it, that simply makes me ashamed of myself. I can not watch Stewart or Maher, due to the fact that it simply makes me ashamed of myself every time they make a well factor, like I'm basing my ideals on the ones of a clown.

Plugs Biden and Barney Franks

Honestly, most of my favorite artists probably have different political views than I do - but in most cases, it doesn't deter me from listening to their music. I like what I like, regardless of the artists views.

Although he is not very popular, I gotta say Kasper the Fake.. Hands down.. He is just as much an activist as he is an artist

Bill Hicks
