John Wayne was a raging racist. His daughter says he'd be 'standing right here' with Trump

[MADem]

That's the headline at KOS for their reporting on this article: http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-john-wayne-daughter-2016-1



A wax statue of John Wayne watches as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump kisses John Wayne's daughter, Aissa, during a news conference.

The daughter of the famous Western movie star said that if John Wayne were still alive, he'd be endorsing Trump's campaign, too. Aissa Wayne directly compared Trump's attributes to her father's.

"The reason that I'm here to support Mr. Trump is because America needs help," she said. "And we need a strong leader. And we need someone like Mr. Trump with leadership qualities, somebody with courage, someone that's strong like John Wayne."

She added: "If John Wayne were around, he'd be standing right here instead of me."

Trump said he was a "longtime fan" of John Wayne.

"We love John Wayne," the candidate said after he finished taking reporters' questions. "We love John Wayne and we love his family equally, right? Equally."

One thing that's good about The Donald, he is the best Racist Detector I've seen in a long time. People who like this guy? They're racists. Assholes, too!

1. Here's what "The Duke" had to say about race relations:

I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people … I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from (the Native Americans) … Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

(From the kos article in the OP). So, that fits nicely with the tRump campaign.

18. Chris Hayes just read that quote

I had never heard it before.

2. John Wayne and Ronald Reagan were both chickenhawk pieces of shit

Hanging around Hollywood studios grabbing starlet's asses and pretending to be part of the military by making war films. Fuck them.

[MADem]

20. Reagan, when he was starting his long decline, seemed to believe that his

time in uniform in "Hellcats of the Navy" actually happened!



Wonder if he thought Nancy was actually a Navy Nurse?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

21. He also quoted movies he was never in as real events. n/m

[rufus dog]

25. Jimmy Stewart, Glenn Miller and others jumped in for real

Ronnie and Johnie played dress up.

[DefenseLawyer]

3. Hopefully his supporters don't find out that her mother was a foreigner n/t

[HughBeaumont]

5. He was kind of a hypocrite.

How did he reconcile his racism with all three of his wives being of Hispanic origin (two not even from the U.S.)?

[KamaAina]

14. Lou Dobbs' wife is Mexican, too

Justin Volpe, the NYC cop who sodomized Abner Louima with a broom handle, had a black girlfriend. Go figure.

[MADem]

22. Lou Dobbs' wife is a PISTOL PACKIN' MAMA!!! She brings her piece to the AIRPORT!!!

AFTER Nahn Wun Wun!!!

Imagine if she was Consuela the anonymous seamstress or domestic in the same position...do you think she'd be outta jail YET?

Dobbs' wife didn't know she was packing heat
Ever gotten busted for having a nail file in your carry-on bag? Don't feel bad. Lou Dobbs' wife Debi says she was unaware she was carrying an unlicensed, loaded, .25 caliber semiautomatic pistol in her purse when she arrived at the Newark airport Wednesday. Dobbs was scheduled to take a flight to Florida with her twin daughters to meet up with her husband, host of CNN's "Moneyline." On Don Imus's radio talk show yesterday, Lou Dobbs explained that she had the gun in her purse from a trip to Vermont last fall and had forgotten about it. Dobbs said that while his wife doesn't have a license to carry a gun, she needs it for security reasons at the family's isolated horse farm in Sussex, N.J. After being fingerprinted and photographed by Port Authority Police, Debi Dobbs was released without bail (and without the gun) to take a later flight to Florida. After her return, Mrs. Dobbs will face arraignment in a Newark court. Lou Dobbs joked about the incident with Imus, saying that a husband is unlikely to stray "when you do have a wife who knows how to use a handgun."

7. DEPORT HER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to PERU with you, missy!!!!!!

Background for the confused:

"I got back and fell in love with it all over again," said Pilar, whose actor son Ethan, 25, appears on the soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful." Her daughter, Marissa, 21, is studying acting; and daughter Aissa, 31, is in partnership with her mother in a Mexican-based import business.

4. John Wayne was in some great movies

But he was also a racist prick. What are you going to do? He probably would support Trump.

Bryant

[leveymg]

8. He was also a life-size action figure in some real stinker war movies.

[el_bryanto]

9. Nods - his war movies were generally terrible

I am thinking of "The Searchers" and "Who Shot Liberty Valence." "Stagecoach" is good too in some ways.

Of course he also chose to play Genghiz Kahn for Howard Hughes.



So his judgement was pretty bad.

Bryant

31. Didn't work out too well for him long term either...

90 or so of the 200+ actors and crew of that flick acquired cancer later in life, some very rare. There are those who attribute filming so close to an A-bomb testing site as the blame.

[Erose999]

37. True Grit was alright. He was good as Rooster Cogburn because Cogburn was a drunk buffoon like him.

28. John Wayne/Trump

Lawrence O'Donnell rewrite tonight agreed with you that John Wayne probably would support Trump. Great segment --link below:

6. The John Wayne film industry

contributes to the mass culture dumb-down of our society....The brain-washed masses live out their frustrations through film rather than take to the streets in civic action. Further the John Wayne mass culture industry contributes to the false notion of regeneration through violence...and the 'export of democracy' at the expense of people of color.

[demigoddess]

11. I like John Wayne movies for the characters he plays

they often remind me of my dad. But Wayne, he was a pretty good actor. He could hide his racist, egotist ways behind a good character. What I liked was the character, written by good writers for the movies.

[MADem]

23. I always thought he was a horrid actor with a wooden delivery.

He sounds the same in every film. It's as though he has one character, one note, and he manages to deliver that one persona every damn time.

The best actors are the ones where you say "THAT was so-and-so?" when the credits roll, who with voice, inflection, and the way they move, they can transform themselves into another person entirely.

[demigoddess]

33. you seem to be getting the acting ability mixed up

with the character. Thy are not the same. And since he portrays the same character every time, there is a consistency.

[MADem]

35. Well, it seemed to me he always played the same character--badly, with a wooden delivery! nt

[demigoddess]

38. and the big movie stars of today don't???

Bruce Willis, a favorite of mine, has played the same character so many times. and he is a really good actor.

[MADem]

41. I thought he was a "yesterday" actor...a bit past his prime!

And yes, he's a one-noter, too. He's no Phillip Seymour Hoffman, may he RIP, or say, Paul Giamatti.

[SarasotaDem]

10. I remember this picture ....

[MADem]

12. Did he like wearing his wives' hot pants with those espadrilles?

Isn't HE Mr. Don't for the Fashion Do's and Don'ts list!!!

He looks like his little buddy and pals are a bit ... smooshed, shall we say?

[demigoddess]

39. that is a bathing suit, swimming suit etc of that day.

[MADem]

40. That is WAY too tight! Even a grape smuggler Speedo wouldn't be quite so ... obvious! nt

[elias49]

13. So she had an abortion?

That shouldn't sit well with some of the ultra-Christian types.
What a strange endorsement to publicize. If you can call it that.
His cheer-leader girls ought to do a song about it.

[NightWatcher]

15. That's the kind of weak ass shit I expect from Jeb!

[bulloney]

16. Newsflash - The characters played by John Wayne were FICTION.

How anyone can make this leap of logic that his roles were real-life portrayals is a testimonial to how stupid some people are.

So much for this stereotype on how Hollywood is dominated by liberals. I can name 8 or 10 Hollywood actors who have held or currently hold political offices as Republicans. I can't think of that many actors holding liberal political seats.

Have you noticed that the Hollywood conservatives are largely one-trick ponies? The only roles they can play are people who shoot 'em up, beat 'em up and blow 'em up. They show no diversity in their acting careers.

[MADem]

17. Well, Trump is trying to appeal to a bunch of morons who blend facts with fiction.

And they're buying it.

[UTUSN]

19. *And* a draft dodger, a true chickenhawk playing blustering "tough" in fake life.

When he toured military hospitals, the servicemen booed or shunned him.

[kpete]

24. never liked what he stood for

yuck

[Wounded Bear]

26. I was a 'fan' of John Wayne, too...

at least some of his movies. His politics were not so palatable.

[deathrind]

27. I love his movies.

"The Cowboys" is one of my all time favorites.

But "yes" he would standing right beside Trump if he were still alive. He was a rabid republican hawk. His views on where a woman "place" was in society was also pretty appalling.

[flvegan]

29. Public Enemy said what?

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne

[valerief]

30. But Trump wishes he were kissing his own daughter.

[Initech]

34. Well he was a Nazi.

[Erose999]

36. Here's hoping Trump stands with John Wayne... and becomes a fucking rotting corpse.

42. Gag me!
