'Happy Days' Star: Elmo Creator Has Talent, Ignore Sex Abuse Allegations
Breitbart.com ^ | November 21, 2012 | Christian Toto

Henry Winkler of "Happy Days" fame is considered one of the nicest people in Hollywood. You don't hear any horror stories about his on-set behavior, and he's managed to leave the iconic Fonzie character behind to play supporting roles in projects like "Arrested Development" and "Here Comes the Boom."

Winkler's reaction to puppeteer Kevin Clash resigning from "Sesame Street" amid allegations the puppeteer engaged in sexual acts with minors hardly seemed in character. In fact, Winkler's comment is downright ugly.

No one is disputing Clash's talents. Just watch last year's documentary "Being Elmo" to marvel at his many gifts. But this is hardly the "end of story."

Kinda makes you wonder whether all of Fonzie’s orgasms were with girls.

He probably thinks Jerry Sandusky was a brilliant football coach.

Yep.. they think talent excuses bad behavior...

Hollyweird always excuses bad behavior toward minors

Not really a political issue, though.

Yeah, and that Jerry Sandusky was a heck of a coach, too!

Can you articulate why sex inside the faithful marriage under God is the only acceptable form of sexual practice? Can you articulate this to the non-believer, using reasoning he will accept?

You propose to get an unbeliever to accept what the Bible ("just a book") says about what "real people" should do with their lives. Why do you think we've lost and will continue to lose? If you don't care what the Bible says on the subject, then any such counterargument is irrelevant.

I’m sorry, but wiggling your hand around in a glorified sock and talking in a funny voice doesn’t fit the definition of brilliant that I’m familiar with.

He is pretty funny in "Arrested Development" as Barry the idiot lawyer.

If you don't care what the Bible says on the subject,
then any such counterargument is irrelevant.

The words from Kipling
in Gods of the Copybook Headings still apply
Natural Law instructs us well on consequences

...When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

...On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”

...In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don't work you die.”

Fonz just broke the record for jumping the shark twice. What would he say if his kid was nuzzled by Elmo?

Too bad Sandusky didn’t have talent, eh Fonzi? Would that have made it ok? /disgust

I thought reliance on the Savile defence could cause quite a row!

The battle over homosexuality has been won by the other side.

They have now moved on to pederasty.

Bingo!

I agree with all that you said except your timetable, as I believe all of this will move at a much faster rate.

Here’s what someone ought to tweet to Mr. Winkler:

Hey, Henry..If you’re such a big believer, invite him over to babysit your kids (or grandchildren)
