The White Male Ego

We went to war just to boost the white male ego.

[pianomikey]

Excuse me? This while other liberals are complaining that there *wasn't* enough blood and guts and horror of war evidenced in the front lines by embedded reporters. I saw this on the Drudge, and thought it was a joke at first!

Norman Mailer (TM) - Struggling To Seem Relevant Since 1968

[CFW]

What about my white, female ego?

[annyokie]

Norman Mailer is such a hasbeen.

[Bigg Red]

Yeah, like anyone cares any more what this piece of clinton has to say.

[camle]

he must be getting old. senile.

[Beck_isright]

"We went to war just to boost the white male ego."

And the point of that statement is?

Sounds like another frustrated sissy boy venting in the left wing media to me.

[bmwcyle]

It is just like a liberal to look at one small facet and blow it into a mountain. A liberal couldn't find the truth even if truth went looking for them.

All this from a man who once wrote glowingly of the time he forced anal sex on a woman.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

I saw this on the Drudge, and thought it was a joke at first!

Its author, Norman Mailer, has become a joke in appalling taste.

(See also previous threads, here and here).

I debated on whether to click on thelink and read the article. But I couldn't think of any reason to do so.

[Salamander]

Say what??

[narby]

Mailer, Norman = Commie

[wardaddy]

and who got a psychopath (Belly of the Beast) out of the joint early so he could kill yet again simply because a waiter "insulted" him.....Teachers on Broadway wasn't it?...Jack Henry Abbott...a vicious little turd.

[Kenny Bunk]

Pretty common liberal rant: "They (fill in the 'they.') do not possess i/10 of the WMD we do!"

Excuse me please, Norman, but that's enough to blow your droopy butt and that of every other Hillary Enabler off the face of the planet 10 times over!

And remember, woman and minority groups will suffer most.

"Or, How I react to Erectile Dysfunction...by N. Mailer".

[skeeter]

This thesis ought to be worth at least a free dinner at Babbo's to ol' Norm.

The iluminatti really appreciate it when their worldview is validated.

"The Time of Her Time." I read that story ages ago. Was it meant as a proud slice of autobiography?

[wardaddy]

Sex, politics, drugs--in different combinations and various configurations--were throughout the 1950s favorite Mailer themes. He wrote a short story about a college girl's (involuntary) encounter with anal intercourse (which led some early feminists to question Norman's own sexuality)--and romanticized marijuana as "the smoke of the assassins." (This was before Lee Harvey Oswald made the scene.)

He has repeatedly said in interviews that he was writing that from his own experiences....and the power he felt at her submission. This fellow is one serious POS.

[pankot]

With idiots like Mailer maybe we needed a boost.
