When Heston was leading the NRA and making some of his more extreme religious pronouncements, I heard more than one person complain that he was "stubborn" and "pigheaded" and "arrogant" and even though I believe he was completely wrong on those points, I always objected to those criticisms. I'd describe all he did for civil rights way before it was fashionable, and say it's wrong to call someone "principled" and "committed" only when you agree with them but then mock the exact same character traits when they serve a cause you're against.
