Not to blow off the TDS, but I wonder when the hard-core lib stuff started. Maybe it's always been there, but just not so blatant.
Maybe it became more public after he married his latest wife in 2012. In May 2011, he published a book called My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business. He appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to plug the book.
In his appearance with Craig, Van Dyke mentioned Walt Disney. Apparently, one of the reasons Walt want Van Dyke in his movies wasn't do much for his dancing and signing, but because he had published articles about being a big supporter of family values.
Where the heck did *that* guy go?
Rush read a letter once from a Hollywood person, that he declined to name for obvious reasons, that said people in Hollywood will espouse the liberal lines necessary to get work, but are really conservative people that are afraid to admit it. They know that all the big Hollywood producers, directors and studio execs are uber libs and they will blacklist anyone that is different.............
Libs think THEY are the party of family values.
