But Ed Asner, who has said he'd like to portray Stalin in a movie some day, thinks Stalin is "misunderstood".

Ed Assner is completely, merrily, mad.

"Ed Assner is completely, merrily, mad."

I wish that was true.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid he's sane and really convinced
that the U.S. IS the Great Satan, and Stalin was a great guy, as is Castro.

I like that quote of Anser's. Maybe he can set the record straight if this movie is ever made that the man murdered his wife, had Ho Chi Minh ghost write some of his most important works.

That's two interesting facts regarding this man. I think what? Murdered 20 million, enabled Hitler to start WW II, and gleefully sold out "comrades" from Mao from time to time for political expeidence and cash.

He also was a facsist in every sense of the word. That "socialism in one country" business of the 1930s was lifted from the Italians.

And yet the left claims this guy and his politcs as their own. Amazing.

Oh, and he killed more Jews than Hitler. Would have exterminated them (Doctor's Plot) but fortunately had a stroke and croaked.

Busting rocks in Hell with his soul brother Dolf.
