Alan Alda donated the maximum to Obama.

I used to watch him play Hawkeye on "MASH" when I was a kid.

I'm glad he's helping 30 years later.

3. Senator Arnold Vinnick!

such a good guy!

4. He was once singled out by the Reaganites as the "feminized" male liberal

No one over forty-five could ever think of Alan Alda as a Republican (well, if he wasn't a good actor we couldn't).

6. Funny- b/c on MASH he was essentially a 1950's skirt-chaser.

Repubs always miss the point on purpose...

8. Well, he also once played a serial killer lol

They were commenting on his activism as a private citizen. He was a big proponent of women's rights, reproductive rights, etc, etc.

9. Sure- I guess I was assuming many people identify the person with their most popular character.

And also that Alda obviously loves women- nothing sissy about that.

I didn't know any of this about Alda though- thanx for the facts...

10. You're probably too young to remember -- he was a VERY high profile liberal n/t
