Anthony Bourdain “Jokes” About Poisoning President Trump
Townhall.com ^ | September 16, 2017 | Humberto Fontova

Posted on 09/16/2017 7:28:11 AM PDT by Kaslin

"Anthony Bourdain, the host of “Parts Unknown” on liberal CNN, said last week that he would poison Donald Trump if the celebrity chef was asked to cater a peace summit between the President and Kim Jong Un. “Hemlock,” Bourdain simply replied when asked by TMZ what he would serve Trump and the North Korean dictator.”

OK, so Bourdain was joking. Har--Har! But here’s Bourdain from an interview right after Trump’s election:

“I will never eat in his (Donald Trump’s) restaurant. I have utter contempt for him, utter and complete contempt… I’m not going. I’m not going.” (Anthony Bourdain, Eater.)

Gosh? Bourdain sure seems sniffish about patronizing (much less publicizing) restaurants belonging to deviants from his political worldview. OK, fine. That’s his privilege.

But what does this say about the “principled” celebrity chef’s sniveling propagandizing for restaurants owned by the racist, mass-murdering, terror-sponsoring Castro-Family-and-Military-Crony Crime-Syndicate (habitually and grotesquely mislabeled as “Cuba” by Bourdain’s employers at The Travel Channel and CNN)?  

"Yes, Go to Cuba!" gushed Bourdain at the end of a show he did from Cuba in 2011. Let’s hand it to this shameless and sniveling hypocrite, to this celebrity who wears his political principles and social-conscience on his shirtsleeve.  

Anthony Bourdain — this “hipster” chef — has headlined several propaganda junkets (his shows from Cuba) to help secure the financial lifeline for a Stalinist regime that jailed and tortured the longest suffering black, female and gay political prisoners in the modern history of the Western Hemisphere.

Bourdain’s bootlicking services for the financial welfare of the terror-sponsors who craved to nuke his nation also included - not only a tourism commercial for the Castro family!-- but also an official “Tony Bourdain’s Guide to Cuba.” Along with a handy-dandy link from Bourdain’s page to the Castro-regime-owned Hotel Nacional — for quick and easy reservations!

In case you hadn’t heard, amigos: As Venezuela’s oil subsidies dry up, Castro’s Stalinist regime is increasingly living off tourism. And Cuba’s Intelligence and Military sector owns 80 percent of the tourism industry, as documented in Congressional testimony by retired Defense Intelligence Agency Cuba analyst, Lt. Col. Chris Simmons.

Those charming, smiling hosts who escorted Bourdain around Castro’s fiefdom were all regime apparatchiks. Immediately upon applying for his Cuban visa, well before Bourdain even set foot in Cuba, Castro’s intelligence had Bourdain completely sussed and his future escorts completely briefed. The procedure started the day he applied for a Cuban visa, as also explained by Lt. Col. Christopher Simmons. That your official “guides” while officially visiting a Communist nation were regime apparatchiks was common knowledge even to proto-imbeciles all during the Cold War. Bourdain was born in 1956.

Predictably, Bourdain snarks at travel and food-writers who “crassly commercialize” their reviews: such as in "The World's 50 Best List." "The guys who put together that list all call each other and horse trade. It's good for business, it's good for chefs, but I mean, no one takes it seriously. It's not even a popularity contest, it is a list brokered by a lot of people with common interests. They're in the business."

Not that any conceivable "horse-trading" transpired between The Travel Channel and CNN and the Stalinist apparatchiks who issued Bourdain’s visas!

If only Bourdain had demonstrated 1/100 of his vaunted "spunk" and "feistiness" against a regime that jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror, murdered more Cubans than Hitler murdered Germans during the Night of Long Knives, and craved to nuke his homeland.

It’s an old story, actually. Where have we seen this lion to lamb metamorphosis before? Try Dan Rather, Andrea Mitchell, Barbara Walters, etc. etc. etc. They say weird things happen in the Bermuda Triangle. I say much weirder things happen in the Florida Straits. Let a Fake News reporter confront a Republican official, and he's a roaring, jabbing, snarking Torquemada. North of the Florida Straits and in front of Republicans no question is too rude, irrelevant or offensive; no demeanor too haughty, combative or insolent.

But just let these identical paragons of "feistiness" cross the Florida Straits and find themselves in front of "President" Castro or any of his apparatchiks. Remember Eddie Haskell addressing June Cleaver? "Why Mrs. Cleaver, you certainly look wonderful today! I was just telling little Theodore how I marvel at how you manage to look younger and younger every single day! And isn’t that a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen! I was just telling Theodore how lucky he is to have such a wonderful cook for a Mom!”

In a 1985 interview KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov explained his former employer’s recruitment process: “Cynical, ego-centric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie-- these are the most recruitable people for us; people who lack moral principals – who are either too greedy or who suffer from exaggerated self-importance. These are the people the KGB wants and finds easiest to recruit.”

Whether most of these celebrities appear (officially) on Castro’s payroll or not, for some reason Bezmenov’s description caught my eye — especially regarding the disproportionate number of Communist apologists found among celebrity ranks.

I used to watch Bourdain’s “old” travel shows until he got to Laos and repeated some blood libel as truth that the US bombers that didn’t drop all their loads on Hanoi would divert to the Laotian Plain of Jars to murder a few people there. I’ve seen him lie at other things, asserting that wild historical fictions are “truth”. I remember one show when he was in Namibia and had to dine on the tribals’ best piece of the warthog - its anus. Looks like you are what you eat, Tony.

Thanks for the update! I’ve always suspected he was a serial liar. He also lies about a small thing: (no, not that!) he claims to be a born and bred NYer when he’s from the Jersey swamps. What a pig.

He really needs to be careful here. Title 18 sec 871 of the code says any threat. That can mean anyway or for any purpose said. And this type of public talk could invite someone to try it. So he should have kept his big mouth shut. Just for the threat, 5 years and dime.

>>Why is Bourdain on the air?

Because Time-Lies owns CNN.

Boycott Time-Life-Warner-Turner-HBO-CNN. Starve the Beast. Defund the Left.

Why does he always look like he just got up from a nod on his couch? Does he pay a hairstylist to look like that?

Unfortunately it’s because enough people watch his show to make it worthwhile for advertisers to buy air time. Don’t flame me; it’s how the business world operates.

I’ll bet he was pretty happy to see the US Marines come and rescue his sorry rear from Lebanon. W should have told him that if he’s so smart, find your own way out.

He’s a legend in his own mind.
Supposedly a good chef. Hmmm
He’s a kiss up to other chefs in various locations.
The few times I’ve watched a show with him I thought .What a jerk”.

Bourdain is a racists, sexist and a hater. We should start calling people this whenever they get nasty.

I've been doing this. Liberals do not know how to respond when you throw these terms right back at them.

Ya. It is kind of fun to see the reaction on their faces. I kind of nullifies the word “racist.”

I point out to them that by claiming racism, they can’t see people with color blind eyes. All they see are “black people” or those evil “white people” and not individuals and good people. That makes them racists.

Bourdain is 61, 6'4" tall, born in NYC, divorced twice, one daughter, Catholic on father's side, Jewish on maternal side...quote:"I don't believe in a higher power".

He is now backtracking on his statement that he would feed the President "poison hemlock". He now says he would feed him "kale".

Which he would poison, without a doubt.

All this hate never ceases to amaze me. If you asked this idiot exactly why he hates him I bet he could not give one good example.
