Normally hatred for John Wayne comes from the left.

Well, let’s look at the body of work of John Wayne, who today is far more known and his movies have survived the passage time than those actors you mentioned (btw, actors volunteering to “fight for their country” doesn’t mean that the only reason Hollywood supported the troops in WWII is because we were defending Joseph Stalin and making the world safe for the ascendency of communism).

John Wayne’s B Westerns are all about private property rights and respect for the individual. Most of the movies portrays the Duke as coming into a town and protecting a defenseless girl or some landowners from the neocons and lefties of the day.

Watch those old B-westerns with a discerning eye. Pay attention to the values being presented.

Don’t forget also that your Papa Joe sent some KGB killers to the U.S. in 1954 with the specific task of assassinating John Wayne because John Wayne and his movies represented the best of freedom loving Americans.

You know what? Even though his movies are fun to watch, Frank Capra was a dyed in the wool Communist.

Hatred for John Wayne? Oh I get it, stating the facts get in the way of your hero worship of an actor.....guess what, John Wayne never did any of those things in real life, he was an actor getting paid to pretend. He went home at the end of the day.....sorry kid, reality sucks.

Frank Capra was a Republican. Some of his screenwriters were Communists. And that "Popular Front" style was common back in the 1930s.

FWIW, the actor Francis Capra is supposed to be Frank Capra's great-grandson, but there's some controversy about whether or not that's really true.
