Why Does Hollywood Vehemently Hate Republicans?

I understand that Fox News is a more Right leaning cable news channel but I saw a story tonight on there that really got me thinking, why does most of Hollywood despise Republicans so much? For the life of me I can't figure it out. The news story I saw tonight showed several actors, actresses, and singers lashing out at how terrible Mccain and Palin are. Now I realize that people are going to have the beliefs and they may differ from mine and I'm fine with that, but utter hatred that these people displayed was unbelievable. You could here it in their voices and see it on their faces, and I just don't get it. Look I would never vote for Obama, I just don't believe in his ideas or his philosophy about where our country needs to go, but I simply don't hold the same rage and hatred for Obama that Hollywood and to be honest most Democrats have for Mccain and Palin. I don't think it is just anger towards Mccain and Palin either, I think it's a more general hatred for Republicans in general.

I do have one theory as to why there is this hatred. I think that it has to do with a misunderstanding of the term Conservative and liberal. Now try to stay with me on this. I think that people tend to confuse the political term Liberal and the pop culture term liberal. My understanding of the political term Liberal is, in a very abbreviated description, is big government, higher taxes, and socialized programs. Now my understanding of the pop culture term Liberal is free spirited, easy going, and independent. To me that seems to sum it up pretty well.

Now I think most people tend to confuse these terms, I think that most Liberals think that being politically Liberal is the same as being pop culturally Liberal. So in the Hollywood sense I think that most in Hollywood think that if you are politically liberal that means you are for personal freedom, and independence. However, in reality that is the general definition of a conservative. Conservatives in the traditional political sense are more about personal freedom, less government control, and independence. So it is with this misconception that traditional conservatives are demonized into gun toting red necks who cling to their religion, according to Obama. So that is just my take on why Hollywood democrats hate Republicans so much. Of course that is just my opinion and I could be wrong.
