    My favorite John Wayne fact is that he was way ahead of the curve in terms of "whackadoodle theories about the influence of the Frankfurt School."https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/689507392891924480 …

        This interview has to have taken place no earlier than 2014 because I have heard that the phenomena of conservative men of the people riling the anger of campus radicals and getting booed and pelted when they try to speak started sometime around then.

        I always think of the claims that he dies with 70 pounds of compact fecal matter in his intestines. No idea whether the claim was true, but I always am reminded of it.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Not about Frankfurt School. Herbert Marcuse was in public eye due to his link to Angela Davis when she was on FBI's ten most wanted list as Communist fugitive accused of complicity in murder around Jonathan Jackson's shoot up of court room & killing of a judge.

        Yeah, that's the specific occasion but the John Birch Society conspiracy theories about HM that Wayne was echoing eventually morphed (via William Lind) into broader theories about the Frankfurt School.

        John Wayne's take on Sasheen Littkefeather was that the Indians were savages.

        The phrase "nobody likes Spiro Agnew but the people" is really something.

        Wasn't this interview given around the time that Marcuse was hanged in effigy at City Hall in San Diego?
