Yes, that really gets to me too. Not only is is forced down our throats, they’re going to spend more of our tax dollars in an attempt to get us to like it.

A face in the crowd?

Exactly. Andy is using the media and his celebrity status to shill for a politician, just as he did as Lonesome Rhodes.

Wonder if he sees the irony.

Aunt Bea might not like it but Opie is another matter—don’t know if its true, but he’s said to be a liberal...

It's true. He, Andy and Henry Winkler filmed an ad for Zero in 2008.

Shame on you Andy. Have you gone senile? Lying for this disgusting POS. For shame!

He's not lying. Andy believes the POS.

—don’t know if its true, but he’s said to be a liberal...

Andy and Opie both (if I remember right) what was I saying? Oh yeah- obama supporters in '08. After 45+ years still occaisionally appear together even though they are each successful in their own right. Big Hope 'N' Change quaint face recognition for the dems for the '08 farce. No big deal, except that television is what defined reality throughout most of the time it existed. People who watch TV also vote, and if Andy likes it...

The 'Legacy media', no matter what we say here on FR, has the big smoke: audience exposure- and even worse, audience sympathy. They are really, really, hot to confound voters before the midterms. These people (I do not like to call them 'people') are using 1960 nostalgia to sell 1848 socialism to the retiring, fat, comfortable, and scared 'boomers'. Hollywood is nothing but fantasy for hire. A propaganda piece for the Class is a job... is just a job.

Andy is dead. Andy, you go to hell.

“He’s worked hard, amassed a $45+ Million dollar fortune. NOW STFU. Leave your money to the government,”...

Actually, he will be leaving quite a bit of it to the government, unless he hurries up and dies this year.

Rafe Hollister: (walking into court house) Hi, Andy! I'm here to get my tetanus shot from the county nurse.

Andy: Oh I'm sorry, Rafe. She can't give you the shot anymore. The good folks up in Washington DC decided that, at your age and weight, and with your history of alcohol abuse, you'd be too expensive to keep alive. So they sent you this pain pill instead.

Rafe: A pill ... ? Don't I get to talk to nobody? I ain't been feeling too good ...

Andy: Wish I could help, Rafe. (Andy picks up his guitar and sings mournfully) Dig my grave with a siiiilver spade ...
