    See PeterFirthFan, I posted that without any research, just by memory and was wrong. It was a hardware store and it was Indiana, PA. Unbiased objective research argue fact. Not subjective hatred comments. If you are going to be subjective, be positive.

    On top. His first Oscar sat in his Dad’s barber shop in Johnstown, PA because he didn’t even know the magnitude of it and just though the town would enjoy it.

    Historically, Democrats More Racists Than Republicans

    Google that phrase for some documentation for proof of who was the racist party and who looked out for personal individual freedom. Research this stuff for yourself before posting things you think you know.

    I think most people forget that Jimmy Stewart was a Brigadier General. He was an amazing actor. most ppl who say he was a racist or say that he wasnt dont really have a shread of proof other than stories. & just because you are a Republican that doesnt make u a racist. The stuff in Vietnam u can find a 100 stories about bad things that soldiers did. With Stewart I have bever heard some actual proof of him doing anything. All I Have heard are stories. Show proof b4 u accuse.

    the peterfirthfan? I have seen his distasteful comments mostly regarding Gary Cooper, now he seems to be targeting Cary Grant and James Stewart. Seems he needs to be banned from youtub.

    wow, you are moving onto others are you? mental issues my friend.

    Stewart as a closed doors witness. He even made that right-wing McCarthyite propaganda piece “The FBI Story” as a favour to his close friend J Edgar Hoover. He had no problem playing the Nazi fascist Charles Lindbergh in a good light too.

  12. medlin1412 Says:

    What names? In …
    What names? In fact, Stewart helped protect Edward G. Robinson from the witch hunt and talked a director into giving him huge role when no one else would hire him. Eisenhower sent advisors NOT TROOPS!!! It was JFK and Johnson who were responsible for the deaths of over a hundred thousand men. I think you have no idea what you’re talking about and you don’t like the man because he was a Republican. It must be sad to have nothing else to do with ur time. Dude, get a girlfriend!!

  13. medlin1412 Says:

    And you sir, …
    And you sir, represent everything that is bad about Europe. Socialist minded elitists who think they know every thing. If you bothered to read a history book, then you would know that it was guys who started the whole slave trade thing. You are basing your opinions about this man on one so-called incident. Perhaps you should read Lee Marvins account of what happened on the set of Liberty Valence and how Mr. Stewart nearly beat a man up because he used the “N” word. Do some reading!

  14. PeterFirthFan Says:

    NOPE, the Vietnam …
    NOPE, the Vietnam War was started by Eisenhower because he sent troops to Vietnam.

    James Stewart was a talentless racist who named names. He repreents everything taht is bad about AmeriKKKa.

    Dont even bother to read “Harvey”’s (or “Clark”’s or “Matt Garth”’s or “Titus Moody”’s or “Jediah”’s or “Elisa Jones”’s)comments They are all the same person (or freak, which is more fitting in my opinion). His real name is Evan J. Peacock, a teenager from Hilton/New York, whom for some reason has a profound dislike against white actors from Hollywoods golden era. Hes very active on the IMDb forums under different nicknames, many of which have got banned because of excessive abuse.

    Actually, the …
    Actually, the Vietnam was indeed started by JFK. If Stewart was so racist you fuckwadd then why did his fellow actors (Including liberals like Henry Fonda who was his BEST FRIEND, Tom Hanks) Think so highly of him, and said so on a regular basis. Jimmy Stewart flu 20 missions over Germany. If it wasn’t for guys like him you would be “Goosestepping” right now So allow me to say what Mr. Stewart would have too much class to say. Go yourself you English, liberal, socialist sack of shit.

    Actually the Vietnam War was started by Eisenhower and Nixon prolonged the war for yeasrs. The troops didn’t leave until 1975.

  22. ezekielwahwah Says:

    Nixon was the one who ordered the retire of the troops from Vietnam.

    Vietnam war was started by the glamourous, non-racist democtrat John F. Kennedy.

    Boy you make bold accusations about great people you don’t even know and you have never and probably will never accomplish a fraction of what they did throughout their lives.
    Or maybe lil digs at deceased legends via text is comparable to their achievements. Sorry my mistake.

    Who cares what he is like outside of acting? Its his choice on what he believes, and who he wants to be. People may not agree with him just like I do. But judge him on his acting, not what he is outside.

  25. PeterFirthFan Says:

    Both Cary Grant and …
    Both Cary Grant and James Stewart were racist Republicans who supported Nixon, Reagan and the Vietnam War.

    Stewart even had actor Hal Williams fired from his NBC show in 1971, just because the poor guy was black.
