Why do you say that?? The man's on-screen persona was very different, that the REAL John Wayne in life. Tho I may have enjoyed some of his films, and agreed with some of his viewpoints...he wasn't a role model to emulate.

GFY Liberace may have been your idol, but I thought he was a [bleep] who's now burning in Hell. Anyone who didn't like John Wayne is pretty much an un-American in my book. No offense meant.

Sorry, but J.Wayne was a d-bag azzhole...so was Sean Connery You must have known Wayne and Connery quite well. I was slightly acquainted with Wayne and always found him to be friendly and outgoing. People I knew who knew him well and had worked with him, liked him very much. That is, except for the Hollywood left liberals who despised him because he was not a good Communist. I never met Connery. L.W.

Bwana1: I actually met and got to know John Wayne working with him for several weeks on one of his movies then renewed acquaintance with him years later and again interacted with him several times then.
You are simply wrong about Mr. Wayne he was a friendly and un-assuming man with a large dose of generosity and humility added in to his MANY other positive and endearing personality traits.
Again - you are simply wrong (fullofshit!)!

John Wayne and Dizzy Dean used to hunt quail on my uncle's place. Good people according to everything I ever heard.

*He was a draft dodger, it bothered him until the day he died. *He openly cheated on all 3 wives *He hit/abused at least 2 of his wives *He was a drunk *He was a terrible and absent father to 7 children You want to worship him like a white God go ahead, I have higher standards than a hypocrite that tried to live up to his character in films...even he admitted that.

*He was a draft dodger, it bothered him until the day he died. Hey Dip, in 1942 John Wayne was 34 years old with four kids, a bad shoulder from 1927 and a bad back. He still tried to get in.

John Wayne and Dizzy Dean used to hunt quail on my uncle's place. Good people according to everything I ever heard. He spent a lot of time out here, in and around the Boquillas and the other big Spanish land grants just to the West of here,.... The old timers who rode for him, and hoisted a few with him at the Old Vail Steakhouse speak highly of the man.

Whether or not he was an azz-hat in his private life, his comments in that video were spot on and so relevant to today, which was the point of posting it. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone... You got that right. What the Duke said then is spot on today. But, I still don't see how anyone could not like John Wayne. He's as American as apple pie and baseball.
