Who do you admire? Who do you despise?

by B.A. Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 12:04 AM

Can you name six prominent Americans that you admire? I'm thinking of Americans from the political arena. Can you name six prominent Americans whom you truly despise?

I can do it. Here are my picks:

Most admired Americans (in the political arena)

1. Ann Coulter - She understands liberals better than anyone.

2. Tom Delay - He gets the job done. The Texas congressional redistricting was a masterful example of his fine work. One of our greatest congressmen ever.

3. Karl Rove - Has there ever been a better Presidential advisor? I think not.

4. Newt Gingrich - He authored the 'Contract with America.' A superb thinker and leader who was undermined by the left.

5. George W. Bush - The right leader at the right time. And he's a super guy.

6. Bruce Willis - Setting a good example for Hollywood.

And my list of the most despised (note: I found it easy to generate the list of most despised but difficult to narrow the list to only six of them).

1. Sean Penn - What a complete ass!

2. Richard Gephart - Sold his soul to the Devil (aka: Organized Labor).

3. Noam Chomsky - Dumber than dirt.

4. Gore Vidal - Even dumber than Noam.

5. Amy Goodman - A vicious anti-American treasonous bitch.

6. Hillary Clinton - Edged out her worthless husband for the sixth spot. They're both despicable but Hillary more dangerous to America.

Admire:

(1) Stephen DeVoy - Brilliant writer. Courageous.

(2) Sherman Austin - Heroic defender of liberty.

(3) Noam Chomsky - Highly intelligent. Well informed. Brilliant man.

(4) Scott Ritter - Courageous.

(5) Greg Palast - Unflapable.

(6) Michael Moore - Humorous, brilliant.

Despise:

(1) Ann Coulter - Frau Hitler.

(2) Bill O'Reilly - Hitler's Boyfriend.

(3) Rush Limbaugh - Drug fiend. Moron.

(4) Neil Cavuto - Inbread moron.

(5) Sean Hannity - Gives Bush blow jobs on weekends.

(6) Horowitz - Raving lunatic.

Note to new readers

by Meyer London Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 2:12 PM

In case you thought it was a joke, B.A. actually meant what he said. Incredible, but true.I think he left out some of his real favorites, though - Adolf Hitler, Francisco Franco, Augusto Pinochet, Oliver North, Joe McCarthy, Elizabeth Bentley, Benito Mussolini, Strom Thurmond, Czar Nicholas II, Rasputin, Robert E. Lee, Jeff Davis, King George III, Calvin Coolidge, Ezra Pound, Rush Limbaugh, and John D. Rockefeller.

Then will come Rasputin.

I despise drug addicts

by Ruch Limbaugh Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 10:07 PM

"too many whites are getting away with drug use. The answer is to . . . find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river.''

-- Rush Limbaugh, People magazine, 1995

"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up''

-- Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh's TV show, October 5, 1995

Wise up, Rush's prescription didn't last for six years. Rush bought the prescription drugs illegally for years and hid the fact. That's a crime -- more than one.

you can't have it both ways

by wavemaster Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003 at 2:49 AM

Sorry BA but you can't have it both ways, They Bush family and the Fuhrer go way back. Seems that Prescot Bush got in a whole lot of trouble for dealing with the Nazis. Don't belive me click here

http://fluxview.com/FANG/i/bushnonazi-TBTM.swf

Oh and don't forget the Bushes other friends, the BIn Ladens so you can't put him on the list either.

You see BA the industrial capitalist admired Hilter for the way he crushed labor unions, and anybody else who defended the working class. Any time you have a merger of corporate power defended by the state then what you really have is fachisim. Thats what we have now with the Bush administration. OH and don't get me wrong Clinton was also part of this free trade neo liberal free market privatization. They wan't to make the world safe for Billionares and keep the masses in poverty.

But now we are hearing these democratic canadates talking about trade standards and jobs being lost . This is because the masses all over the world are rising up agaisnt these corupt neo liberal gangsters who hide behind the wto and world bank. They know what what words like structrual adjustment mean, did they teach you these words in your propaganda classes at the CIA acadamey BA? If not then you better go take a refresher course because these are going to be the wars of the furture my friend. A green blue alliance fighting agaisnt the reactionary imperialist Bosses!

by green fox Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003 at 2:27 PM

Ezra Pound will win the next race for sure - no matter how he finishes. The Bush family owns this horse and they have already arranged to have the Supreme Court review the race on tape.

Meyer London is obviously a student of Ezra Pound.

by Max Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003 at 4:09 PM

"Pound believed that poetry is the highest of arts. He challenged many of the common views of his time and spent 12 years in an American mental hospital."

A Pact

by: Ezra Pound



I make a pact with you, Meyer London--

I have detested you long enough.

I come to you as a grown child

Who has had a pig-headed father;

I am old enough now to make friends.

It was you that broke the new wood,

Now is a time for carving.

We have one sap and one root--

Let there be commerce between us.



From "Poems of Lustra", 1913

Who knows? Ezra may have stayed at the same half-way house or group home that you are posting from. You may be sleeping in his bed. Is it true that you have your room at the home decorated with icons of Rasputin? And that he has told you from the Other Side that Saddam buried wmds in Lebanon's Bekka Valley?

(BREAKING GLASS)

Well......where do I start?

To me, Bush ad-"mire"-er lacks any sense of credibility.

I dont get angry at his stupid comments or endless hyperbole / rhetoric.

I just makes me tired of the bull shit that these right wing "corporatists"

Anyone doing any research on the rise of Mussolini can easily detect the similarities between the past and present.

In any event , i feel sad for bush admirer.

The day that he finally wakes up, he will become our greatest ally.

Oh sheepdog, when will you ever realize that there really IS no enemy?

The "enemy" is a construct of your own mental illness that compels you to spend vast amounts of time trying to unearth the evil around you. Sad. Especially when you are forced to contrive and imagine it on your own.

Very weird.

by Meyer London Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 1:01 PM

Please - to work with Bush Admirer and Fresca we'd have to get jobs down at the group home where they are cared for. And I hear that due to Bush's war against labor unions the pay and the benefits there are really bad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are tough all over. Why, just the other day, my chauffeur became terribly ill and died, and you know how hard it is to find someone with sufficient Rolls Royce Limosine driving experience. Oh, the things I must contend with when it comes to tolerating the servitude underclass.
