Funny that you left out his work with kids and his $250 million worth of charitable donations in your summary of his life. Seems like a hard thing to leave out.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years, everyone is well aware of Newman’s charitable work. Okay. Fine.
I’m more concerned with the damage he did to America by pushing for liberal socialist policies through the Democratic Party apparatus. Like big government, welfare state socialism, class warfare, social engineering, abortion rights, gay rights, heavy taxation, etc etc etc.
Lets not forget that Newman was a big supporter of every liberal Democrat going back to FDR -— including Truman, Stevenson, JFK, LBJ, RFK, Humphrey, McCarthy, McGovern, Carter and in more recent years, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Algore, John Kerry, Ned Lamont, Chris Dodd and Al Franken.
“$250 million worth of charitable donations in your summary of his life...”
Where did that money go? How much went to groups against the Iraq War. How much to fight global warming? How much to fund pro-abortion groups?
One area were I know the answer with certainty:

Funny that you post on a conservative website and deftly ignore all of the work Newman has done over his lifespan to promote the very things that seek to destroy America. Granted, forking out 250 million to charities sparkles the eyes of a lot of folks, but then, he made his pile of cash and set up his ‘charity’ business on the strength of his blue eyes and the shallow Hollywood charm they held for some shallow folks. Seems that ignoring the real work he’s done for anti-American enterprises is a hard thing for many to accept - even some on FR.
