I got blocked by Scott Baio!

[WillParkinson]

Genuflect if you like.

He did a post about how Obama is a Muslim or, at the very least, a Muslim sympathizer. His FB page is littered with half-truths and blatant lies. So I went to Twitter, told him he wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack, and he blocked me.

One down, Facebook to go!

[ck4829]

1. Baioism - "Say 'Radical Islam', SAY IT! Unless you're a... secret Muslim."

[TNNurse]

17. Some apparently believe

that saying "Radical Islam" has the same effect as saying "Beetlejuice".

[PeaceNikki]

2. An old-timer here at DU (sniffa) got into an epic Twitter battle with him years ago

It was beautiful.

[Dr. Strange]

3. Good times!

[Person 2713]

4. Had to look him up

Has been from 30 years ago say what?

[Iggo]

5. Congratulations, sir.

[complain jane]

6. If the GOP is good for anything, it's

good for giving z-list celebrities the hope for a shred of relevancy.

[Miles Archer]

7. His Twitter profile pic is stirring, patriotic, inspiring, and makes me wanna reach for eye bleach.

[liberalnarb]

9. ew.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Looks like they both overdo orange cantaloupe tan spray. (comparing face to hands) . . . nt

[Malbrownluna8708]

56. Charles-n-Chump

Good old Scotty B has always had those RW hater rumors follow him. Being thrown out of the Playboy Mansion because he was asking the girls if the were black. Watch him on The Talk. Sheryl Underwood fawning over him, the way he was acting, and she is a Republican too.

[MADem]

74. What is with this Thumbs UP stuff?

The idiot on the right has a bigger thumb than the short fingered vulgarian on the left....

[n2doc]

8. toon

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

10. Colbert ripped him Monday night.

[gratuitous]

11. Uh oh, suicide watch for WillParkinson

How will you go on???

[WillParkinson]

12. Gaily...

Very gaily.

[mindwalker_i]

13. Hopefully he didn't give you pink-eye

[joeybee12]

14. What was Craft Services giving those dipshits on the set of Charles in Charge?

Not only him but also Willie Ames, two blithering, bigoted assholes.

[spanone]

15. i saw lawrence o'donnell show a clip of this uproarious asshole last night.

he's a fucking idiot

[Stellar]

16. hear, hear!!

[Blue_Tires]

18. That's nothing

I've been blocked by both Greenwald AND Assange, among others...

[geardaddy]

19. Bob Loblaw n/t

[NoMoreRepugs]

21. what is it with Conservative D-List Hollywood types??

why so angry and insane??

[Chasstev365]

22. Nobody Loves Chachi!

Wow, somebody is desperate for media attention! I guess like Trump, Charles is not in change of his faculties anymore!

[L. Coyote]

23. Who is Scott Baio?

I could look it up, but finding out here will be more entertaining, I'm sure.

[ailsagirl]

24. He played Chachi Arcola on the sitcom Happy Days and its spin-off Joanie Loves Chachi

I kid you not. Why he's gone wacko is another question entirely!!

[L. Coyote]

25. Some kind of American media esoterica or triviality, kinda like Donald trump, eh?

Apparently being a television person makes one better than others in that culture. But, do they know how to grow a banana?

[Chakab]

27. I don't think that anybody takes this guy seriously. He's just remembered because he was on

Happy Days, and that show was huge part of American culture a few decades ago.

[ailsagirl]

36. I didn't realize he's a nut case... n/t

as well as a former child actor

[elljay]

34. There is only one thing you should know

culturally from those awful shows. Happy Days is the origin of the expression "jumping the shark."

[TeamPooka]

35. and "Sit on it Potsie." Heeyyyyyyy. nt

[Chakab]

41. What's amazing is that the show was on the air for another seven years after that episode aired.

Things were much easier for the network guys when they only had two other competitors.

[Aristus]

28. Why do these people go crazy on us?

Bugsy Malone is still one of my favorite movies, and he's one of the reasons why. He gave a very appealing performance.

I never watched Charles In Charge (thank God; he and Willie Ames in the same show I could not tolerate.)

I only saw a few episodes from Happy Days that he was in, and never watched Joanie Loves Chachi

But I remember a TV reunion of the cast members a number of years ago. They were all sitting around together, but one could tell Baio really felt out of place around all of those liberals and progressives.

[Chakab]

33. In most cases, they haven't "gone crazy." They were never that bright to begin with, then

they start espousing RW bullshit as a justification for the aversion to paying taxes when they start making serious money in Hollywood.

[rpannier]

82. He supported Reagan in the 70's

He was a Thatcher fan
Nothing in him changed

[Mary Mac]

86. rational people suported Reagan and Thatcher

But calling Obama muslim is on a level of CT. Sounds like he hangs around same people who support Trump. Protofascist.

[rpannier]

80. He was on two real series and did Charles in Charge

He joined Happy Days in its later years, yet I've met no one who can really explain what he brought to the show, other than another character and because daughter Joanie's cuteness factor was going because she was getting older.
Joanie Loves Chachi just sucked. Never watched an episode, but never met anyone who liked it
He was in Charles in Charge which to me sucked
He did Diagnosis Murder with Dick van Dyke which was okay
I've never seen his name associated with any successful, or marginally successful movie

[Chakab]

26. Never realized what an asshole this guy was until I saw some reprehensible comments that he made

about Michelle Obama a few years back.

When people went after him on line, he defended himself by posting a picture of him with one of his wife's girlfriends who happened to be black.

The guy is a real fucking idiot.

[LiberalFighter]

29. Did you all notice that his hands are smaller than Trump's?

[passiveporcupine]

30. Can anyone beat Victoria Jackson?

I think there is some kind of competition going on.

[LynneSin]

32. But Kirk Cameron is in a commanding lead with Stacy Dash not far behind

[passiveporcupine]

37. Oh yes, I forgot the Kirkster

I did not know Stacy Dash. Now I wish I hadn't looked her up.

[lob1]

77. Dennis Miller, too.

[AlbertCat]

90. Dennis Miller, too.

Hell....


throw in

Charlton Heston
John Voit
Clint Eastwood

any Scientologist...


Just because people can act (sort of) doesn't mean they have intelligence.

[LenaBaby61]

43. Oh heavens....

Victoria Jackson is REALLY a right-winged loon. You're 100% correct.

[Malbrownluna8708]

57. Don't forget Ol' Raisin Sack

James Woods.

[passiveporcupine]

63. I didn't know Woods had turned into that!

Crap, he's filled with hate.

[HughBeaumont]

88. When he's not scoping the junior highs for girls . . .

Nasty half-ped . . .

[hopemountain]

69. well, yes, the guy who was talking to the chair

charleton heston

[passiveporcupine]

71. Charleton Heston?

Did you mean Clint Eastwood?

Both of them are bad, but not as bad as some of the real kooks.

[LynneSin]

31. But how will you ever know if Joanie really loves Chachi?

[easttexaslefty]

38. Congratulations!!!!

Win/win.

[liberalhistorian]

39. I would consider

that to be a Badge of Honor! Good for you for at least trying to bring some sense and sanity to his page.

[sheshe2]

40. You are my hero, Will.

[JustAnotherGen]

42. Good for you!

[Fritz Walter]

44. He's definitely "Chachi"

In the sense that it's a Korean slang term for penis.

That's why the name of his sitcom, "Joanie Loves...," got a lot of unexpected laughs in certain Asian-American communities.

[WillParkinson]

46. HAHAHAHA!

I love this!

Sadly, Snopes says it may not be true. http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/joanie.asp

[Fritz Walter]

66. I had a different source

One of my friends -- who married a Korean and is fluent in that language -- told me this when the show was still on the air.
I'm more inclined to believe him.

[Chasstev365]

48. LMAO

[LenaBaby61]

45. A buddy was blocked on twitter by has been Frank Stallone.

He's quite angry that his boy tRump is doing so badly now-a-days that he actually had the nerve to to go on his twitter the other day to call Elizabeth Warren an old bag, so my friend went on twitter to ask him if he's taken a look at his own Mom's hideously frightening appearance.

It's one thing to have your own opinion about politics--even if you're a conservative. However, to make fun of someone or make fun of the way somebody LOOKS and you have folks in your OWN family that look a certain way....

Let me leave it there.

[rpannier]

81. I don't think Frank Stallone is a has-been

He's a never-was
Sylvester you could argue his relevance -- his Expendable movies still make big money overseas
I guess Frank is a singer
He played one in Rocky I, II and III
Checking out his career... man there is nothing

[Wednesdays]

47. I know who Scott Baio is (was)

Why is he relevant now?

[OldHippieChick]

49. News to him

He's not

[WillParkinson]

58. DU had a picture up about Trump....

Saying he was going to make his own television network. I wonder if Baio is angling for a spot.

[OldHippieChick]

65. I think you're giving Chachi

too much credit for actually thinking, but it makes some sense. "I want to be relevant again"

[Beartracks]

91. Why do you think Trump is running for President?

It's a way to develop an audience for his next venture, which could be a tv network. Why not? Makes sense. Everything Trump does is for the Trump brand. Certainly not for the public good. I don't think there's an altruistic bone in his body.

=============

[elmac]

50. Another has-been actor

He will probably be doing reverse mortgage ads soon

[Oldtimeralso]

73. He can't be a has-been actor,

because he is a never was!

[treestar]

51. Congratulations!

[shenmue]

52. Congratulations!

[Stinky The Clown]

53. Hshahahahahaha

[Mike Nelson]

54. Congratulations...

...I went to his facebook page - to see the trending Muslim story. He hasn't blocked me yet. He's really off the rails. I also wish Henry Winkler wasn't doing those reverse mortgage ads. Happy Days has jumped the shark.

[wysi]

55. Chachi does not love you

How will you go on?

[Yonnie3]

59. I would be much more impressed if you managed to change his mind ...

just a teeny bit

[WillParkinson]

60. I'm sorry...

I don't believe in miracles.

[Yonnie3]

62. I think changing his mind would mark the beginning of the "End Times" instead of a miracle.

We must be very careful dealing with the possessed

[RockaFowler]

61. I feel dirty just reading his Twitter

He really is delusional

It's like James Woods, Adam Baldwin and he all got together and decided to write these insane Hillary Memes. Or even the Obama Muslin (sic) Memes. I can't handle the idiocy anymore

[Laser102]

64. Good for you!

[Takket]

67. high five!

[wallyworld2]

68. It could be worse

You could be Jimmy Kimmel

[Ilsa]

85. Thanks, that was a scream! NT

[passiveporcupine]

93. I'd forgotten about that.

i think it's the funniest skit I've ever seen. Now I've got to put it in my favorites!

[Cary]

70. You were generous

The man is a total moron.

[awoke_in_2003]

72. Three words

Joannie Loves Chachi- probably the worst show ever on TV. Fuck this clown

[brettdale]

75. I just tweeted him

To Sit on it.

Wonder if that gets me blocked.

[WillParkinson]

76. Or a date offer....

Wah wah wah.

[TrollBuster9090]

78. Off topic, but one time I walked into the family room and my wife was swooning over

...swooning over some guy in a movie on TV. I looked at him and said "wow, so THAT's what Scott Baio looks like now." She gave me the nastiest look I've ever seen, and said "That's John Cusack."

[Lunabell]

79. I went to his page and told him he was a racist piece of shit.

I never went back to see if I was blocked, but I imagine I was, lol.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

83. He's a Moran...

http://freakoutnation.com/2016/06/everyone-is-calling-scott-baio-a-moron-after-threatening-to-sue-anyone-who-calls-him-a-moron/

[Dorian Gray]

84. As long as it wasn't Willie Ames.

[Odin2005]

87. TIL Chachi is a wing-nut.

[bluedigger]

89. You'll probably be on the no fly list next.

[WillParkinson]

95. That's okay...

I'm afraid to fly.

[sarcasmo]

94. Trump Cha-Chi 2016
