The late ‘70s were a lousy time for TV. Shows like ‘Maude’ ‘Mary Hartman’ and other laugh track driven, negative, liberal BS that Lear specialized in. He’s a real ****.

I was about 10. I remember my father cursing in Italian at the TV when M.A.S.H or All in the Family etc. came on.

They never stayed on long :)

people have the right to not participate. The president or the committee should;d exercise the right to withdraw the award. of others boycott cancel the awards or give them to great americans like the freedom award where each president pulls in meaningless celebrities and sports figures, and an occasional great american, because they get off on having them in the WH.

I’m sure the lovely Melania and the President aren’t going to lose any sleep over this. My goodness, what a sacrifice Mr. Lear is making by not coming to the reception..../s

Would someone please unplug Norman’s life support? He flatlined years ago.

He bought one of the original copies of the Constitution.

He’s still a liberal extremist.

Nuts.

This is also the guy who sponsored at least one Hanoi Lobby affair for identified Australian Communist Party member, Hanoi propagandist, and Red Chinese Korean War psy-ops agent Wilfred Burchett.

All the details are at www.keywiki.org.

If any of you read KW, let me know what you think of the information provided on Hanoi Jane’s buddy, Wilfred.

He patterned the character “meathead” after himself. That’s all anyone needs to know.
