"We did not fight back in the same way that the British fought the IRA or the Spanish government fought the Basques here. Terrorism is a manageable action. It can be lived with," said Stone.
John Kerry said something like that, and look what it got him--a big "L" on his forehead. You, Oliver, can "live with" terrorism if you so desire; I'd rather be a man about it and work to put an end to that evil. No further commentary on Stone's quote is needed.
If that last quote doesn't cinch the award for you, let's hear what Oliver thinks causes the evil of terrorism:
"That's the evil that turns its mind and ears on humanity and is able to say 'I can kill a person in the name of God or religion.' This is not a human being, this a fanatic. And I fear that fanaticism is the result of our overreaction to 9/11," said Stone.
So Islamic fanatacism and terrorism are the result of our overreaction to 9/11. Then what, exactly, caused 9/11? We hadn't overreacted to it yet! We hadn't overreacted to the Africa embassy bombings, to the USS Cole, to the Khobar Towers, to the '93 World Trade Center Bombing.
The man is obviously an America-hating idiot, or at least has a severe case of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Either way, I hearby heartily offer
The Right On The Left Coast
"Idiot of the Week" Award
to
Oliver Stone
Stick to movies, pal. Leave philosophy to people with a brain.
What planet did you say he came from??
ReplyDeleteTerrorism can be lived with?? Only because he has never "lived" with it!
I would have to concur with this one and the USS Cole was a tragic attack
ReplyDeleteYes. That former Congressman actually has to live with the ramifications of his words and conduct. Stone doesn't have to live with "managed terrorism". That Congressman is to suffer the ridicule for his idiocy; Stone will be lionized by other idiots on the Left for his.
ReplyDeleteThe more I read about this guy Foley, the more he seems to be making a run for this award. But Stone retains it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure anonymous still doesn't think Stone deserved it.
The Congressman will pay for his idiocy. This exposure is the only way to make Stone pay for his.
ReplyDeleteAnd as of right now, I've seen no evidence that the Congressman is a pedophile. He may, however, be an ephebophile.
Is there any evidence yet that he did anything sexual with any of these kids? (Please see there isn't) So far the only allegations I've heard are "overly friendly" emails and sexually charged instant messages.
He's blaming his alcohol addiction. Hmmmm.
There's no question that Foley should go. But I would have and did say that about many of the congressmen who have had questionable doings. And that's just the whole morality thing and sex, that hasn't even touched the tip of the iceberg on such things as fiscal irresponsibility and out and out lying. Then there's Teddy Kennedy and Chappiquidick. But to be fair,there are also a number of celebrities who seem to get away with murder-literally (See O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake) How long are we going to allow ourselves to be blinded by fame? Pesonally I say do to the congressman what you would to any pervert on the internet. Send him away, make him register and put him in a halfway house. Drug or alcohol abuse is not an excuse for perverse behavior with underage boys. I would also like this rule applied to every jock from middle school through the pros who cheated their way through school and who broke laws and got away with it. Shouldn't justice be truly blind, and all the time, not just for some?
ReplyDeleteEllenK, I agree with you completely.
ReplyDeleteAnd my last comment should say in parentheses "Please say there isn't."
What do jocks have to do with perversity?????
