He said he supported the commies in El Salvadore in the early 1980s.

I don't remember him ever suffering from any negative publicity from that.

Being a unrepentant commie loving celebrity during the height of the Reagan era was career suicide and he did suffer for it since nothing he did after Lou Grant in the 80s was a hit Howard Hesseman learned from that mistake and recanted his support and came back with Head of the Class.

I just did some research and found all this.

In the 1980s Asner supported the communist revolutionaries who were fighting for political supremacy in Central America. His show Lou Grant was canceled.

In 1984 Asner co-sponsored the Ninth Annual Banquet of the Labor Research Association, a Communist Party USA front that worked cooperatively with the World Federation of Trade Unions, a Soviet international front.

Asner was once a member of the “International Committee to Free Geronimo Pratt,” the former Black Panther who was serving a prison sentence for murder. In October 2000 Asner testified as a character witness for cop-killer Kenneth Gay, stating that because Gay had once written a “wonderfully encouraging” play about children—a play that “highly impressed” Asner—a prison sentence would be more appropriate than execution. And over the years, Asner made many public appearances to protest the death sentence that had been issued against convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal.

There was much more but you get the point...
