Ron Howard has never grown up.
So, Opie is now a political scientist?
He should shut up and direct.
I seriously would have thought Ron Howard above this stupidity.
Opey was doing YouTube Obama ads at the end. His stupidity is well-documented.
Red Diaper Dopey.
Hey Opie...Shut yer yap and direct movies.
What a tool.
Opie's friends ain't seen nothin' yet. Of course, Zero's kind of imperialism will suit them just fine.
“I think to compare what Nixon did, and the abuses of power for pure political self preservation, to George W. Bush trying to protect this country even if you disagree with rendition or waterboarding it seems to me is both a gross misreading of history both then and now,” Mr. Wallace said.
Which seems about as valid as just blindly calling all your enemies "Adolf Hitler".
Mr. Dallek followed Mr. Howard’s comments: “It’s just as Ron says. We’ve been, back in the past eight years, through this anguish about an imperial presidency...”
Like any good liberal will do ;)
Little Ronnie Howard is just echoing the weird left. Wait a minute, he IS the weird left.
Thank you Chris Wallace, for having the courage to defend President Bush!
They have no idea how isolated they are.
I have tried never to be so. One must always know what the other side is thinking, and why, if only to know how to combat it!
He was raised in Hollywood (his dad and brother are also actors) and the belief system there is clearly pernicious.
For all of Bush’s mistakes, he is an exceptionally honest and honorable man, and has not abused his office. Period.
Certainly not in any way his critics on the left claim endlessly.
He has irritated me mightily, but the things he has done to irritate me are not the things Hollywood holds against him. What they hold against him are fantasy crimes that never happened. They never happened. I have never seen the kind of self-delusion in my life that I have seen over the last two decades, first with Clinton and then with Bush. And perhaps I should add, we are now seeing with Obama.
There is a stubborn unwillingness to live in the actual real world that marks a whole class of Americans, and the result is that half of America is living a fictional history that exists and transpires only within their collective minds. That would be bad enough, but the worst of the fantasists happen also to be the ones who publish and broadcast and film, so that their fictional parallel history becomes the recorded history. What really happened, what really transpired will be lost in the shuffle and as we shuffle off of this mortal coil there will be no one left to tell what really happened. And long before that, no one who will believe us in any case.
Opie’s been hanging around Meathead too long.
Dopey Opie, go back to Mayberry. You are an ignorant jerk.
Come think of it I bet John Wayne is rolling in his grave was he the first dude that gave him first movie part in the Shootist that Duke last film
I THINK SO it was ON AMC TV other day
Other Opieate Idiocy aside, Nixon’s abuses pale in comparison to the REAL pros like Clinton, Kennedy and Johnson...
