("Opie Cunningham" is a term of endearment towards Ron, coined by Eddie Murphy back in the early 80's on SNL)

1. Good for Ron. Negativity? Fuck you S.A. whoever the fuck you are...fuck you fuck you fuck you

[oasis]

5. S.A. Geek has likely been swilling the Trump Kool aid for 3 years.

It's for sure he was deplorable idiot long before Don the Con took office.

Ron was right on.

2. Good post by Ron Howard

[Brother Buzz]

3. Am I really old if I remember him as Winthrop?

[rickyhall]

14. Had to hunt down that reference.

Never seen Music Man, but Opie's been my hero since I was a kid. Just a year older than me. Opie, Beaver & Mark McCain.

[SeattleVet]

16. The year before The Music Man, he was in 'Five Minutes to Live' with Johnny Cash.

Later retitled 'Door to Door Maniac' for US re-release.

A Film Noir classic. Could be a part of a Master Class in bad acting!

Here's a trailer from the re-release, after Ronnie Howard had moved on to Mayberry.

24. LOL, I'll pass on that movie!

[Cartoonist]

4. I don't get S.A.'s question.

No one ever compared Obama to Jesus. Yet we have many saying Trump was sent by God.

[Dennis Donovan]

6. S.A.'s meds ran out yesterday?

[Grokenstein]

17. Yes, but knobs like him scream that Obama was a "nightmare"

...so when anyone points out reality, the little snowflakes get all triggered and they scream REEEEE and fling doo-doo instinctively. Honestly, I'm shocked S.A. even admitted that Obama HAS achievements. His fellow trumpkins are gonna eat him alive for that.

(Also they know, deep down inside, that for all his blather Generalissimo Corpulente will never even come close to measuring up to Obama in any fashion--outside of number of indictments and impeachment--and they feel compelled to defend their God Emperor.)

7. I believe that the turd

IS lauded as the second coming of Jesus, by the kool-aid gang.

8. The Weirdest attack on him was by Juanita Broaddrick.

Holy JESUS she’s a creep! Check out her profile. Yeesh.

9. She's still trying to claim the 2 minutes of fame Trump gave her in 2016

I feel sad for her. The RW used her, and she ate the adulation up. Now, she's regarded on the same level as that poor schizophrenic woman who said W impregnated her and forced an abortion (I hated W, but this woman was clearly ill).

[Skittles]

11. I agree

I have never believed Juanita, not at all. She simply is NOT credible.

[nolabear]

21. Amazing vitriol at Ron Howard of all people.

There are indeed some troubled, rageful people and plenty to use them.

[Grokenstein]

18. Odd that she thinks anyone cares what SHE thinks, though.

Had to wonder for a minute who the hell she is. Silly little dung-muppet is now just an answer in Trivial Pursuit.

[essme]

25. I had to google her

The name sounded familiar, but that was it.

Horrid woman

[Skittles]

10. um....Trump was an ego maniac asshole on his show, too

sickening that so many people find bullying entertaining

[czarjak]

12. "You're fired", period.

[Skittles]

28. the popularity of Survivor disturbed me too

it's like people just started to find creepy, bullying behavior entertaining

[bobbieinok]

13. The replies on Twitter are SICK, SICK

Eg Trump cares about people---he flew someone to a hospi tr al before HD dver re an for prez, so therefore he's wonderful guy

Also press doesn't give him credit for great economy he created

And who says he ever cheated vets? That's a horrible lie!

[Dennis Donovan]

15. Russbots are thick on the twitter box tonite...

It's almost as if they're... ORGANIZED!

19. As having been a Southern Californian for over 30 years....

It's not uncommon to know people who know and/or work with people in the entertainment industry. I don't think I've EVER said anything negative about the "rich and famous" even if I hear negative things because I try very hard to "be impeccable with my word" (the four agreements). Having said that, when it comes up to speak highly of someone based on everything I've ever heard, I normally do.

Ron Howard is absolutely revered in this town! I've NEVER heard one negative thing about him and I know of at least two people who've worked on his films and they adore him - they say he's the nicest, most thoughtful person you'd ever want to meet (definitely in the same arena as Tom Hanks). He's NOT an activist (like Rob Reiner and Judd Apatow who send great tweets calling dt out on his disgusting behavior on an ongoing basis and I LOVE both of them for it). My point is that when Ron Howard says something you can take it to the bank.

[Dennis Donovan]

20. I've only seen him from this side of the screen...

...as both Opie and Richie, and as Ron in many interviews over the years. He (Hanks is in in the same category) always seemed like a decent guy, maybe a guy you'd smoke a bowl with and listen to Floyd in 1979.

Although I've always suspected Potsie to be a stoner (I mean, his nickname is "POTsie"??? )

[nolabear]

22. There's major bot action going on now.

It would be fascinating if it was t so incredibly creepy.

[Dennis Donovan]

23. Bots have some tough competition - my fav reply so far:
