James Webb served from 1961-1968, as wrong as it was homophobia was a normal popular sentiment in the 60's-70's. to go back 60 years and punish his family and legacy for this is ridiculous IMO.

Remember Archie Bunker? All in the Family was one of the most popular sitcoms in history, should Norman Lear be stripped of his 5 emmys, his HOF honor? should Carroll O'Connor be stripped of his 5 emmys and 2 golden globes?

This new wave of social activism is out of hand.
