Silly teenagers.

They have reduced every noble effort to the level of snotty little teenagers, drunk and or high on cheap cynicism.

“So wrong... Darth Vader was not responsible for the destruction of Alderaan. That was the work of Grand Moff Tarkin. In fact, Vader himself advised Tarkin NOT to destroy Alderaan.”

So, what’s your geek score?

Amnesty International is as phoney as the ACLU or PETA.

Phoney s.o.b.s.

Shouldn’t that dweeb’s sign read, “THE ENDS ARE IN SIGHT”?

I vote for the Hobgoblin. He was an absolute anarchist, much like today’s leftist liberals. Plus he had a cool mask.
If I was Dick Chaney, I’d proudly blow up that webpage and put it in my game room.

I don't know what is more shameful, the fact that I know this from memory, or the fact that the terrorist front group Amnesty International is giving Darth Vader a bad name.

You're not the only one that has retained that information.

Hey don't worry about it, I had the first thought when I saw Amnesia International's poll as well.

I take some comfort in the fact that Darth Vader is leading (although I voted for Hobgoblin).

There was a time, many years ago, when Amnesty International did good work on a non-partisan basis. But they got hijacked in the late 60’s or early 70’s. Today they are nothing more than another propaganda outlet for the far left. Much like the environmental movement which, when it was concerned with conservation and good stewardship, accomplished much good but now just operates to push a political agenda more and more divorced from reality.

So wrong... Darth Vader was not responsible for the destruction of Alderaan. That was the work of Grand Moff Tarkin. In fact, Vader himself advised Tarkin NOT to destroy Alderaan. I would dare say the only innocents Vader killed were the children in the Jedi temple. Aside from that, he only killed people who pissed him off directly.

Vader wasn't quite the badguy he was made out to be. Granted, he didn't take no crap from anyone else, but hey, there was a war on and he was trying to win it.

He even offered to help overthrow the tyrant running his own government, but his weak willed left wing peace activist son turned him down. Pansy.

BTW, as I'm sure some of you can probably guess, I don't really have any plans of a social nature this weekend...

Those pantywaist communists are trying to put the stink on the dark brother Vader.

The baddest, blackest dude in the universe made a name for himself through his own hard work and effort instead of playing the victim game and taking a handout from the Galactic white man. That’s why Shamnesty and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are trying to keep him oppressed.

Amnesty Int'l doesn't jest like Maher or Stern would.

And Don't call me "Shirley". [j/k]

Why does the Cheney cartoon look like a black man? Is AI onto something here we don’t know about?
