John Wayne on liberals

[rightwinger]

Libs are so cute... The way they trash John Wayne for not serving and actual soldiers that did.... all in the same thread.

I trash Wayne for being the poster boy for why America had to be in Vietnam while, he himself dodged the draft in WWII

You should trash President Johnson (D) who got our troops into it in the 1st place and then mismanaged it very badly.
Then to top it all off, moved Social Security to the general fund to pay for it.

Is that when congress starting raiding the social security trust fund? They owe the fund like $2 trillion dollars with no way to pay us back.

While denying real soldiers that were tortured in Vietnam... While your hero Jane Fonda fondled war guns and sucked up to the enemy.

You can stop with your faux outrage now.

It's not believable.

I do trash LBJ....and War Hawks like Duke who blindly supported that tragic war by wrapping themselves in patriotism

John Wayne was a war hawk draft dodger

Typical conservative

Who hated communists.

Is that why we wouldn't fight in WWII?

Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable also hated communists and they fought. They also had kids to support.
John Wayne made a fortune in the movies playing characters who were fighting and dying....beats actual fighting

Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable were well established actors and wealthy enough to take time out from their carriers.
John Wayne had just started to become well knowen in the film Stagecoach done in 1939. He was not wealthy, at the time.
He was getting a divorce from his wife at the start of WWII and had 4 kids to support.
I don't think that it was wrong for him to choose his carrier and support his 4 kids.
You can dish out the harsh judgment about him all you want, but he used Hollywood to support our troops and the war.

So only well-off people join the military. That's a new and novel excuse. To his credit, he was apparently ashamed of being a draft dodger. Can't say that about other RW heroes, like Ted Nugent.

From three different links:


Wayne struggled with severe alcoholism, chronic infidelity, self-esteem and personal demons that often made life hell for his three wives and his children. The book painstakingly recounts the triumphs and tragedies of the life of John Wayne – who rose from abject poverty to become the world’s most famous movie star – and creates a portrait of a man haunted by a childhood of abuse; a man conflicted by his own definition of masculinity; a man fighting to control his own rage and his propensity for violence; a man who committed domestic violence against all three of his wives and his children; and a man haunted by and driven to overcome his fear of failure, poverty and ridicule.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For all his extraordinary success, it was Wayne’s failures that haunted him, in Eyman’s account. The devoted family man crashed through three marriages and reaped troubled relationships with several of his seven children. The self-styled super-patriot felt shame and guilt for dodging military service during World War II. The box office champion never felt financially secure because of bad business deals and unfaithful friends, and felt compelled to keep on working even as his health faded and his appeal diminished. Although beloved and admired by millions, Eyman writes, “he always seemed surprised and pleased by praise, perhaps because he received so little of it for so long.”

For many of us, our image of Wayne was forged in the 1960s and early ’70s, when he too often seemed a lumbering, overweight, toupee-wearing self-parody spouting simplistic, right-wing views and playing the same role over and over in largely second-rate Westerns. But before he became John Wayne Inc., Wayne was an actor of unusual authority who created a character of rough-hewn charisma, vulnerability and physical menace.

'Rome. The Excelsior Hotel. Dietrich. I took her on the staircase': New book reveals how John Wayne cheated on his three wives with Marlene Dietrich and Maureen O'Hara

• New book lifts lid on how off-screen John Wayne was a serial philanderer and heavy drinker
• He downed countless hots of tequila and smoked up to five packs of unfiltered Camels every day
• He had affair with Marlene Dietrich while he was married to his second wife, Chata, who 'came right out of the brothels of Mexico'
• Wayne's favorite actor was James Garner. He said of him: ‘They rave about Brando and [George C] Scott, but they couldn’t hold a candle to him’
• When suffering cancer he lost 100 pounds, needed an oxygen tank and couldn't walk 20 feet
• He begged his sons to hand him his .38 so he could end his agony

Esperanza Diaz Baur "Chata" was a Mexican Film Actress. Who dated and Married several wealthy Americans. Including Nicky Hilton.

Not even reading the rest of that word wall since the first thing I noticed was a lie.

That's a shame.

I think its sad that some cannot allow celebrities to be human beings, with the same strengths and weaknesses, faults and foibles we all have.

Its very unfair to them.

IMO

She was the true patriot....willing to tell her country it was wrong

 

[Moonglow]

it's the Domino Effect,,man!!!

 

[there4eyeM]

Not worshiping Wayne makes one a 'lib' (whatever that is)?
Someone ought to state the formula that automatically categorizes so that those of us aren't in one or the other camp (it seems there are only two) will know what not to say.

A true American Patriot does not embrace Communism.
She should have gone to jail for being a traitor to our Country, but the Hollywood crowd gets special treatment in just about everything.

I enjoy watching the duke, but I don't care much for his politics, so I enjoy the movie moment and let the politics slide to the side........

I agree. His whole "war is hell" persona was annoying and dishonest, as were his movies. That was as much about the time during which he lived as anything but still .... And that excuse doesn't work for Ted Nugent. Even Elvis Presley served in the military.

Like everyone else, Wayne was a mixture of good and bad. Lying about his "bad" doesn't make him more "good".

He was abused as a child and an abusive alcoholic as an adult.

Frankly, I wonder why some people have the need to idolize him.

Since you said didn't read them, you don't know that either.

OTOH, if you DO decide to read them, please feel free to post proof there are lies in the links.

A true American Patriot stands up against unjust wars. Fonda risked her career to fight for what was right

Wayne ducked his chance to fight just to make a buck and then wrapped himself in the flag as an ideal of the true American Patriot

Jane Fonda was the true patriot
