Lear was immensely successful as a TV producer and businessman. When he dumped his first wife to marry a younger woman, Frances Lear got over $100 million in the divorce settlement. In 1999, President Bill Clinton awarded Lear the National Medal of Arts, noting that Norman Lear has held up a mirror to American society and changed the way we look at it.
LEAR LAUNCHES JIHAD AGAINST CHRISTIAN VALUES In 1981, Lear founded People For the American Way, a civil liberties advocacy organization. PFAW ran several advertising campaigns opposing the interjection of religion in politics.
In 1987, PFAW campaigned against Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. The organization is still active.
Lear is infamous for demeaning the American middle-class in shows such as "Archie Bunker" and "Maude." Lear's hidden agenda was intended to decimate traditional American values.
You're spot on with Lear's agenda. I hated 'All In the Family' and Maude' and never watched a full episode of either of them.
In both programs the husband-father, aka: 'The Traditional Head of American Family' - was made out to be buffoons. Archie Bunker was a Knuckle-Dragging Klansman, sans the white hood. While pinko-commie 'Meathead' was always right. Even though 'Meathead' was really nothing but a leech living off of Archie's pay.
And Maude's husband was a 'always wrong wimp' bowing to the 'All Powerful, Always Right, Genius - Maude'.
At least that's how I recall them.
He mentored and financed the initial career efforts of Rob Reiner, now another wealthy Hollywood leftist kingpin.
This old commie, Lear, made millions off the opportunities afforded to him by our economic system, yet he spent a great deal of his fortune on trying to bring it down (for others, not him, of course).....and he's still at it despite his age. He turns 90 in a few months. He remains politically active.
When he croaks he's leaving several well-funded foundations dedicated to financing liberal causes, including People for the American Way. These wealthy, life-long commies always make sure their ideological agendas live on after them.
It doesn't surprise me that the lecher, Bill Clintoon, singled this man out for a coveted award, the National Medal of Arts. Amoral birds of a feather flock together and scratch each other's backs.
During decades of contributions to presidential candidates, Lear has always financed Democrats. The only exception was his non-support for Jimmuh Carter, whom Lear considered a "disaster".
(Translated, Jimmy was not leftist enough for Lear).

A fun house mirror - one that distorts reality in grotesque ways. Lear projected the hatred Clinton and elites feel for the middle class..."biter - clinging to guns and religion"... Ugly hateful stereotypes that would never be allowed against members of liberal victim groups. Stereotypes their trolls project of us...
Lear is a POS.
