Guest- Of course Hope was rich, but the money did not come directly from his U.S.O. tours.   He was a good businessman and made many investments and real estate deals. His contract with NBC alone was huge. He did not need to make money from the U.S.O. and put his life in danger.

Guest, it may be hard for you to imagine this, but Bob Hope did not earn blood money for his support of the troops. I can understand that you see a consipiracy in every action, but sometimes you are wrong.   You have every right to be a pessimist and see that the glass is half full, but do you have to say the glass is dirty too?

Please back up your statement with some facts.

Nobody is making Bob Hope into a sacred cow. He had his flaws like the rest of us. However, at this time many of us choose to remember and thank him for the good that he did.   You may fail to see that and you are entitled to voice your opinion, but please use facts not just statements you choose to make up - especially when you are too much of a coward to appear in public without a sheet over your head.
