Reality has voted and 0 is a colossal failure and doubling down on his worst traits like talking instead of listening.
Norman, Stifle!!
ROFL! Post of the Week Award!
Archie Bunker was Norman Lear’s conception of a conservative.
A racist, ignorant, uncouth person.
Archie Bunker was the anti-Reagan so to speak, the direct opposite of what a real conservative was.
Lear’s version was an urban one unlike the many rural stereotypes of patriotic Americans who espouse traditional values that liberals have concocted over the years.
Norman Lear is still alive?
If you can’t refute what they say, call them names.
Nothing new, nothing smart, nothing intellectual.
Typical “Progressive” ...
He basically was a plagiarist.....copying British sitcoms of that day. Nothing original.
Lear is having problems with the fact that his 15 minutes are up. He needs to let it go.
That was MY question...Norman Lear is still alive????
Don’t underestimate Lear...he held fund many ultra leftwing organizations that continue to do major damage.
***Archie Bunker was Norman Lear’s conception of a conservative.***
I never could watch that show. It was so leftist liberal . I did watch it ONE time, about gun control, all the rage in the late ‘60s and 70s. It was a leftist’s gungrabbers wet dream.
Norman, you Meathead. Talk about a sickening, screwed up lefty.
and you Mr. Lear are a Fat Head..make that a “Meat Head”, (that term was from the same episode I’m sure)
Isn’t it amazing that all the Limbaugh critics just simply cannot get enough of Rush. Are we to assume that was the only commentary he heard in his car? or is Norman a frequent listener? It appears your powers to persuade are solely lacking and so is your eyesight. Rush is not fat, but what do you expect from a looney liberal dead set on dividing people on race, creed, sex, color or physical attributes.
Nextrush is correct. Archie Bunker was Norman Lear’s conception of a conservative. Wrong then..wrong now....So Stifle yourself dingbat!
The great irony is that Archie became a hero, a spokesman for Everyman who had been trashed, disparaged, silenced and discounted by the hothouse liberals of the intelligentsia.
Lears' big project of social engineering blew up in his face like an exploding cigar. He had a hit show on his hands, to be sure. But the typical response of We The People to Archie was not "Oh how meanspirited and bigotted he is, we must not be like him," but rather, "He goes too far, but he has a point."
Archie's comedic value was too great to be subordinated to Lear's banal message politics. Lear unwittingly initiated the beginning of the pushback against political correctness in America, the opposite of the effect he sought.
Then his wife dumped him and took all his money, which she promptly pissed away on a worthless short-lived magazine. That's why he still has to drive to work and listen to Rush Limbaugh be more successful than he ever was. Poetic justice.
Hey, Norm —
Remember when you were somebody? When you mattered?
How’s it feel to be picking up Rush’s crumbs?
