Donny, you fucking asshole, Marion Morrison was a FAKE tough guy. An ACTOR.

[Stinky The Clown]

He was not a real tough guy, Donny.

What he was, was a fucking racist.

9. John Wayne on Indians

The interview is reprinted in The Playboy Intervew (Wideview Books, c1981).

Here is the text of one answer about the Indians:

"I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that's what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." -p.269

6. Read this racist quote from John.....

I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people ... I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from [the Native Americans] ... Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

7. *And* a draft dodger, a true chickenhawk playing blustering "tough" in fake life.

When he toured military hospitals, the wounded servicemembers booed and shunned him.

8. Hollywood generally went to war...

... with some notable exceptions like Ray-gun and John Wayne.

Jimmy Stewart, Tyrone Power, etc.

11. He was a drunk who used to throw billard balls of the roof of a bar he frequented in Hollywood

trying to hits the cars below. Never served in the military. John Wayne dodged the draft so he could continue his torrid affair with sexy German actress Marlene Dietrich, 'the best lay I've ever had.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2819281/John-Wayne-DID-dodge-draft-continue-torrid-affair-sexy-German-actress-Marlene-Dietrich-best-lay-ve-new-book-reveals.html
