Nothing worse than seeing someone you care about ,be robbed of their life by cancer,my dad and John Wayne

[fartmonkey45]

who in the hell disliked this?

[stflaw]

Yule Brenner did a similar spo, though the focus was more anti-smoking.. But he knew he was dying from cancer when he did it, which made it even more poignant.

@chrisburke52 So if he really cared about America and not just the money he made from her, then why did he side so strongly with the tobacco lobbies in promoting their deadly products?

[chrisburke52]

I'm impressed by this, it shows another side of a man who once promoted smoking (Camel Cigies). He started as a radical and became a conservative but that does not mean that he was insincere. While I was unhappy about his relationship with Senator McCarthy and his reporting of fellow actors I have always respected the fact that John Wayne believed in an America that cared about injustice despite a proclivity to violence and materialism (his view).

@serpico56 If it was 1965 ('62 is when he had his surgery) how did he make a reference to True Grit, which was released in 1969? Did he have the ability to see into the future? Who's the moron now?

Whoever disliked this isn't American and has no spine.

I cried the day he died.

This was 1965 moron when he had his first cancer scare not 1979.
