PDQ - I'm not sure why you are lumping me into the "anti-conservative" rant and putting me in the same catagory with those who "need to get a better perspective" on people like Bob Hope and the rest. Seems to me like you have stereotyped me without knowing me. Isn't that what you are saying the others are doing?

As I thought I made very clear, I have a great respect for Bob Hope. For that matter, I also loved Jimmy Stewart.   One of my favorite films was The Quiet Man, which is has some nasty stereotypes in it, is very demeaning towards women, and stars the poster child for the right wing conservative actors.

While I consider myself a liberal and a progressive, but not in the terms that "guest" uses it.   I do feel that everyone has a right to their opinion, and I will not deny anyone that right. I do make an effort to see where they are coming from, unlike a lot of people here and on radio. I will fight back when I see someone making blanket statements that have nothing to do with the truth. (Not meaning you PDQ, just the other cretin who posted earlier.)

I do agree with you and others that this forum was meant for a respectful tribute to Bob Hope. I am sorry I jumped into this, but my original post was trying to show how that "guest" was speaking out of turn.

Again, I think the world has lost a wonderful man. He gave more of himself then most people give him credit for.   He made us laugh, and still does. I will miss him.
