Something just hit me.
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 01:09 PM by JCCyC
The. Right. Holds. Oliver. North. In. High. Esteem. :wow:

Pro-Bush poster (a discreet one actually) in an unrelated forum posted a lengthy article by him against Kerry (tries to lump him with Jane Fonda etc). He named the article's author as "former USMC Colonel North". A quick google showed the text splattered proudly across lots and lots of RW sites. (townhall being the apparent origin)

I just pointed out the fellow's first name was Oliver, and yep, it was THAT Oliver.

1. Watching him testify on TV when I was a kid
I always wondered why he was a hero.

I thought he was a prick.

:shrug:

2. His prickness should be as widely accepted as the irrationality of "pi".
Ooops, I forgot. The Bible sez pi = 3. :silly:

6. Last Christmas, I dug out an old personal journal from the mid 80's
In it was an essay asking the question why people thougth North was a "Hero"? The man orchestrated an illegal war and sold weapons to terrorists!
I have no recollection of writing that essay, but it was in my handwriting.

Hell, the same thing goes for G. Gordon Liddy.

Hero, my ass.

7. Did you see the 10 commandments - that movie with Heston?
Well, the fundies remind of the jews when Moses was on the mount getting the ten commandments. Remember how freaked out they were and how easy it was for the Eqyptian to convince them that they needed to build the golden calf.

Same thing here - the fundies are so easily persuaded, they will believe anyone.

I thought maybe you'd been hit by a pie.

9. And he hosts that WAR STORIES show on Fox...
A show about war stories hosted by a war criminal. Only Fox could be that shameless.
