I knew 'Opie" was a naive little kid, but I thought Andy was the wise one! Say it ain't so, Andy??

Celebs go to great lengths for Obama
excerpt:
Luckily for Obama, some celebrities are taking extreme measures to show their support for him. It's no surprise to see celebrities lining up for the Democratic ticket, but these stars are going above and beyond the normal call of duty.
First up, we have director Ron Howard resurrecting not one, but two, classic roles that he admits he'd rather leave behind: Opie Taylor from "The Andy Griffith Show," and Richie Cunningham from "Happy Days".
"I've never done this before and I hope to never have to do it again," Howard admits, "but I guess you could say I'm feeling pretty desperate these days."
Howard brings his old TV pals Andy Griffith (Sheriff Andy Taylor) and Henry Winkler (the Fonz) along for the ride.

From Wikipedia:
"In politics, Griffith has favored Democrats and recorded television commercials endorsing North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley[9][10][11] and candidate for Governor Bev Perdue.
In October 2008, Griffith appeared in a video on funnyordie.com with Ron Howard reprising their roles as Andy and Opie Taylor to encourage people to vote and endorsing Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The video titled "Ron Howard’s Call to Action"[12] also features Henry Winkler.

Warning: to those many loyal fans of this best-of-the-best sitcom classic, this might sicken you a bit. It certainly did me. I love(d) this show! It still airs regularly on TV Land.

I wonder if Hugh Hewitt has had Clint Howard on. I believe Clint is a conservative.
Instead of questioning my own perceptions and opinions of Barack Obama, I question the intelligence of those who support him. So when and Andy Griffith throws his support behind Obama I don’t say to myself, “Gee am I missing something Opie’s dad isn’t?” I actually say, “Gee I always had the perception that Opie’s dad was kinda smart. Boy was I wrong.”
No shocker
He’s a lib ever since he endorsed Jim Hunt in 1984 against Jesse Helms.
Andy Griffith opposed Jesse Helms as well, as I recall...
In keeping with democrat tradition, I heard that Don Knotts will vote for Obama as well.
Clinton's legal defense fund takes in $2.2 million
Thanks to 17,000 contributions _ including $10,000 apiece from director Ron Howard, actor Tom Hanks and television producer Norman Lear _ President Clinton's new legal defense fund took in $2.2 million during its first six months, trustees said Friday.
Guess Howard has yet to grow a brain.
He certainly was in his role as Andy Taylor. The show was one of the all-time best on family-values and morality. He must have been one heck of an actor. What a disappointment.
Wonder who Matt Dillon's for??
The speech Richie gives to Fonzie for Obama in the skit is very similar to the one Richie gave on behalf of Adlai Stevenson in an early episode of Happy Days. Let’s hope the result is the same.
The irony, of course, is that Obama thinks the people of Mayberry would be bitter and clinging to guns and religion.
Typical Hollywood BRAINLESS LIBERALS...
Just goes to show you most of the Hollywood types are not too smart.
I thought Andy Griffith was dead.
[not that it would stop him from voting Dem, mind you]
I think Hollywood taps a whole in their heads, causing their brains to leak out. Very few avoid the tap!!
Andy Griffith supports killing babies.
Hard to imagine, but true.
Ron Howard and Andy are Hollywood Whores.
but I believe that Don Knotts was a Republican.
Ron Howard and Andy need to suck up to Hollywood for their
income.
Commie rats come in all shapes and sizes....
They both support gun control.
it is the poster boy for senile old men.
I see a number of old men who are wwii vets who are voting obama because they don’t realize he is the same socialist as the primary.
it is all about party for them.
