Turner: KGB 'Honorable,' Iraq 'Naked Aggression' Like Soviets in Afghanistan
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 11/30/2008 3:04:21 PM PST by chessplayer

“The KGB, I think, was an honorable place to work” with “worthwhile” achievements, CNN founder Ted Turner contended in an interview aired on Sunday's Meet the Press in which he blamed the U.S. for starting the battles with Vladimir Putin “by putting the Star Wars system in Czechoslovakia and Poland” and, when host Tom Brokaw recalled that Leonid Brezhnev reacted to Jimmy Carter's outreach by invading Afghanistan, Turner retorted with moral equivalence: “Well, we invaded Afghanistan, too, and it's a lot further -- at least it's on the border of the Soviet Union.”

On MTP this morning Tom Brokejaw was more respectful to TT than he was to Laura Bush.

“I never realized just how much of a Marxist he is.”

He’s worse than a Marxist. He’s one of the rich who is fairly impervious to the effects of big government and who wants the rest of the ‘masses’ to live indistinguishably from each other, away from him. if he truly believes in Marxism then let him give away all his money and turn CNN into a not-for-profit (I know it might not be pulling much of a profit now, but that’s not by intent).

Oh, just ask someone who knew Litvinenko before he was poisoned with Polonium 210 by a former KGB agent if the KGB is ‘honorable’.

How did such a stupid ass make billions?

He better rethink how long the communists would put up with his ramdom “disloyal statements” before he found himself up against a wall and offered a final cigarette and a blindfold by a KGB Officer.

This should come as no surprise to anybody, especially now:

That phuckwit Turner is just auditioning for a post in the 0bama politburo.

Maybe special envoy to the old Communist Party in Russia.

After all, Ted gave so many of their fellow comrades at Pravda and Tass jobs after the fall of the Soviet Union, I’m sure he would be most welcome there.

Nothing could be further from the truth, but poor Ted doesn’t have a clue. Don’t hate the man. Pity him.

Turner is proof that America is such a great country that even a flaming moron can become a billionaire.

This man isn’t even a traitor. Jane Fonda was a traitor. Her ex is just a pompous idiot.
