Bwaahaaahahaah!

Stupid liberals...I'm laughing now (coz I believe in God having the innocent souls in reserve in heaven)... it's so pathetic...someone end their identity agony.

[caver]

We've had this idiot lauded here in Indiana, since he's an Indiana native. I guess I never knew why he was "one of the greatest living writers", but now I know. He's just a liberal leftist USA hater. That's why the MSM loves this jerk.

[FerdieMurphy]

Old decrepit fool. Who reads his meanderings of a sick mind?

[samtheman]

A book is crying out to be written on this subject, not just about KV, but about the whole phenomenon. It has to be heavily documented and clearly presented, with a title somethign like:

When Old Leftists Go Insane

[mtbopfuyn]

Perhaps he should emulate them.

[cripplecreek]

Vonnegut is a great writer but he's also mentally ill. His opinions aren't worthy of a great deal of attention.

[Northern Yankee]

Vonnegut said it was "sweet and honourable" to die for what you believe in, and rejected the idea that terrorists were motivated by twisted religious beliefs.

So I guess blowing up innocent men, women, and children really doesn't matter then, as long as you believe in it.

[nuconvert]

Everyone reaches an age at which they need to shut up. Murtha and Vonnegut are past that point, so the media need to stop paying attention to them.

[Just mythoughts]

"They are dying for their own self-respect," he said. "It's a terrible thing to deprive someone of their self-respect. It's like your culture is nothing, your race is nothing, you're nothing."


What is it with liberals and this word "respect", Bill Clinton said all that mental Il of N. Korea wanted was respect.

So obviously the UN had a great program established called "Oil for rotten Food" in which the players around this world got a cut off Saddam's OIL, and Saddam rewarded the families of homicide bombers with a reported number of $25,000. Amazing all in the desire for "respect".

Kurt Vonnegut: Moonbat

A formerly great writer goes off the deep end: US author lauds suicide bombers. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)  link: 94 comments

Leftists have this thing for killers. They like their handiwork and they always try to get them off of death row. We must try to understand them. A killers life is always precious to them. Even mass murderers because a suicide bomber can take 10-20 innocents with him .... but actually they don't go with him since he goes straight to hell

[BamaAndy]

I don't and won't buy anything he produces--no need to whatsoever.

Some Call It Treason

[Popman]

The following year he wrote that the US was hated around the world "because our corporations have been the principal deliverers and imposers of new technologies and economic schemes that have wrecked the self-respect, the cultures of men, women and children in so many other societies".

Imposers of new technologies? Like PC's and laptops, new medicines.

Economic schemes that have wrecked the self-respect? Like capitalism and increased standard of living?

Kurt, STFU and continue to do whatever drugs have ruined your mind

[normy]

What guys like him and Bill Mahr miss is that they are not just dying for what they believe in but killing alot of innocent people who just want to live their lives in peace. I wonder if they think its brave and honorable for a man who believes his wife shouldn't divorce him and take his kids to shoot them all with a shotgun and then blow his own brains out. Maybe a kid who was bullied, who shoots up his school and also kills himself is brave too.

Actually if these pukes were brave they would charge a group of soldiers and fight to the death, maybe taking two or three with them. Ramming a plane full of people trying to get home to their families into a building full of workers trying to make a living is the ultimate act of cowardice (well using self inflicted wounds to get out Vietnam and then trashing your fellow soldiers while meeting with the enemy is pretty cowardly too.)

[Khurkris]

Best Vonnegut book I've read was written by his son. It dealt with his battle with schizophrenia and how lithium helped him. Didn't have too many kind words for his father. This was written during the early 70's, he may have better thoughts about him now a days.

[montag813]

Vonnegut witnessed the appalling events of February 13-14, 1945, when 800 RAF Lancaster bombers firebombed the city, killing an estimated 100,000 civilians.

Nice unbiased account by the author conveniently leaves out what the Germans did at Coventry and the slightly more "appalling" events at places like Dachau.

[LRS]

Saddam Hussien needs a new gig: "I tell ya'", (as he tugs on his collar), "I just don't get no respect! I use to gas a Kurd, but now I can't even gas a turd..."

[csvset]

Perhaps Kurt will follow Hunter S. Thompson's lead and blow his brains out.
