It depends on what their causes are. I suspect Democrats and Republicans differ greatly on what they consider good community activism.
Most seem to be more of the Bloomberg-style nanny statist esque types, so it's not really a partisan split issue. Plenty of Democrats and Republicans might like them, and many from both sides as well will hate them.
BRTD, not that I necessarily agree with the type you describe, but you may feel different if you plopped down a few hundred k instead of buying records. You get enough people who don't give a flip and you wind up with Detroit.
