Terrible Ted Again!

Ted Turner has crossed the line again with his characterization of the 9/11 hijackers as “brave,” and his sarcastic and inappropriate remarks about the president at Brown University. Turner also said the “poverty” caused the suicide missions even though the hijackers were all educated men with money to burn, led by a multi-millionaire. Turner, who admits that he doesn’t like Christians, continues to amaze. According to Audrey Hudson in the Washington Times Weekly Edition of Friday, January 25th, 2002, Ted owns 1.8 million acres across 10 states and is the largest private landowner in the US. He has received $217,000 in taxpayer funds 1996-2000. You can enter a “Bison Hunt” on his property for $10,500. He also has circled his properties with an illegal electrical fence that traps and electrocutes wildlife. Why no squawk from PETA? Because he gives oodles of money to environmental groups. This makes him a “New Democrat” and gives him a free pass into the club of the politically correct who can do no wrong. It also guarantees him immunity from media criticism. According to Hudson, Ted also cuts timber and drills for natural gas on his property--and has bulldozed a mountaintop for better views. Environmentalist pressure has discouraged cutting timber and drilling in adjacent national forests so that they will remain “pristine.” This government policy also makes Ted’s resources more valuable. In addition to giving millions to the wasteful, inefficient and socialistic UN, Ted’s most recent international meddling has involved something he calls the Nuclear Threat Initiative, which he launched as soon as George Bush entered the White House. The timing is suspicious. Where was Ted when Bill Clinton swept aside decades of government security regulations to allow his rich friends to sell super computers to the Chinese Communists, giving the Chinese the ability to upgrade their nuclear weapons? Where was Ted when the Chinese passed nuclear weapons skills to India? Pakistan? Iran? Libya? North Korea? Where was Ted when Janet Reno stonewalled the Los Alamos investigations into suspected Chinese theft of our nuclear secrets? Where was Ted when it was determined that the Chinese were aiding the North Koreans in nuclear missile development? Where was Ted when Al Gore made secret deals with the Russians, subverting legislation Gore himself sponsored, to keep high-tech weapons out of the hands of “rogue states?” Where was Ted when Clinton-Gore refused to invoke sanctions against the Chinese for proliferation when all of the above became known? Why all the concern about nuclear weapons just as soon as Bush was elected? Turner’s latest venture is something called “Ted’s Montana Grill.” It will specialize in Bison steaks from animals raised on taxpayer supported land, many of which are then sold back to the taxpayers (US Government) at ridiculous prices. Hopefully, most citizens will partronize other restaurants and skip Ted’s Montana Grill. We should tell Ted to donate his buffalo steaks to a local food bank on the way back to his Atlanta penthouse or his taxpayer-bought homes on the range. commiefighter.

Ted Turner,although wrong ,has a right to be wrong. That said ,I feel that most of what he says is just useless to thinking folks.

He's a crude, disgusting man. Wonder how many people he had to crush to get where he is today?

I hope to return to this thread, as soon as my blurry vision clears up, from staring at unformatted type.

Enemies of the United States are heroes to Ted Turner and his ex-wife.
