I know a UK version of this has been posted before but this one is a little more indepth and shares exactly how far Fischer has gone off the edge

"Nobody has single-handedly done more for the U.S. image than me," he boasted. "I really believe this. When I won the world championship in 1972, the United States was, you know, it was a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country. "

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, I don't think I'd be proud to be an American if not for his having one the chess championship.

This is what happens when you get your ass kicked by a lesbian.

[Cyber Liberty]

Let us never forget that he refused to defend the title after winning it because he was that much of a nut in the 70's as well.

Psssst.....that was Bobby Riggs.

[HEY4QDEMS]

huh???

[billbears]

??????????Huh?????????????

Are you thinking about Bobby Riggs? Fischer was THE Chessmaster back in the early 70s, but apparently from the article a little too smart for his own good

[anniegetyourgun]

What a puny little twit this guy is - a worm.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Obviously spent to much time polishing his bishop...;^)

"Despite being half-Jewish, Fischer saved his most vile vitriol for members of that faith. "What I'm really hoping for is some kind of 'Seven Days in May' scenario, where the country will be taken over by the military and they'll close down all the synagogues," he said on the Philippine station."

This is one very strange/insane character.

[Andrew Wiggin]

How do they know that the goofball calling this radio station is Fisher? Just because he says so? While Fisher was always running on the edge of madness, these quotes don't agree with anything else I have ever read of him.

I think this guy is a fraud.

Some people will say anything to get their names in the paper. Wonder why Bobby thinks that his opinion is any greater than anyone elses.

"Arrest all the Jews, execute hundreds of thousands of Jewish ringleaders and, you know, apologize to the Arabs."

This is pretty sad, because what the Nazi’s did to fix it...

Israel stands as a Island of Democracy in a sea of Dictators.

[veronica]

This man is 100% BONKERS. Truly, madly, deeply bonkers.

[ez2muz]

That was Bobby Riggs.

Wasn't Bobby Riggs shot while running for office?

[arielb]

I don't think this is such a reliable source

[isthisnickcool]

Israel stands as a Island of Democracy in a sea of Dictators.

Righto! Which means they are not Islamic. And Islam seeks to kill or rape all that is not Islam. Israel has been avoiding what must come to pass. The US is partly to blame for that. Israel is in a gunfight at noon and there will be only one winner. At some point they must draw their gun. The US needs to take it's hands off the holster.

Fischer used to be good humor. He, all by himself, put world championship chess at the same level as all-star professional wrestling. The problem, of course, is all of that ilk, including Fischer, get tiresome at some point when they overdo the schtick. Fischer overdid it during his championship match way back in the seventies. He isn't humorous any more. The best response to him these days is an incredulous (perhaps bemused) stare.

News from a madman. The press may as well take their notebooks and recorders to the local Mental Hospital and find out the latest news and opinions there - although he really is talking like a lot of Islamics.
