I know this doesn't really belong on a thred like this, but I was so mad at this, I had to rant or kick in the TV screen!
Guess what ignorant thing I heard last night while I was watching a special on Abraham Lincoln on the Histo0ry channel?
The program was supposed to focus on Lincoln's "Psychie" from childhood til his days as president during the Civil War.
Well, there were these authors who have written about Pres. Lincoln (several) and about the CW, (even more)
Well, one of them was Gore Vidal, and he just couldn't resist a jab at President Bush!
This ignorant "Explitive deleted" was talking about the Civil War and how, unlike the WOT, was a REAL war. Vidal wouldn't name the CinC he was eluding to, but it doesn't take a college degree to figure out who he was referring to. especially when he said the War on Terrorism was basically like a "War on dandruff!!!!"
I wonder if you were to talk to the relatives of those who were murdered on 9/11/01 if they think thier loved ones died of dandruff?
I mean what arrogance!
I admit to not being aware of Vidal's rampant liberalism. I should do more research.
He also said this president he refused to name was not a war president as he (The President) claimed to be.
Now what in the world has the WOT and President Bush have to do with Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War? I ask you? But, Gore Vidal ruined an otherwise good program by his his little comment that COULD HAVE BEEN ELIMANATED FROM THE PROGRAM!
There was a rant thread about this....someone's swearing off History Channel forever.
