Are you sure that Ted Nugent didn't write this?

If this isn't an about-face worth of Benedict Arnold, I don't know what is. After seeing his semi-funny (but entirely unpatriotic) Broadway standup, I stopped listening to what he had to say. This is a nice consolation, though.

This has been posted here and other sites hundreds of times. It is also a hoax.

You what's really scarey?

About 7 or 8 of these make sense.

THIS is Robin Williams?

I highly doubt it.

From Snopes.com...

Origins: We don't yet know who is responsible for the piece quoted above, but it definitely wasn't actor-comedian Robin Williams (of Mork & Mindy fame). This item's debut appears to have been a 20 March 2003 posting to the USENET newsgroup alt.motorcycles.harley, and from there it was rapidly disseminated via e-mail and blogs, credited to either "author unknown" or no one at all. The Robin Williams attribution wasn't tacked on until several weeks later, apparently because along the way someone appended a genuine Robin Williams quote to the list as an eleventh item:

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'" - Robin Williams.

Obviously the Robin Williams attribution for the final item was interpreted as applying to the list as a whole, so now the entire piece is making the rounds as 'the Robin Williams plan.'

I've received this via e-mail a couple of times, and never heard it referred to as coming from Robin Williams. I'd suspect it's similar to the rant that people kept claiming (mistakenly) came from George Carlin. Remember, Robin Williams, although sometimes funny, is pretty far to the left; it's unlikely he'd pen something this jingoistic.

Are you sure that Robin Williams is the source of this rant? Looks like one of those e-mails, like the "Ted Nugent" e-mail, that gets forwarded ad infinitum and is attributed to the wrong author.

Knowing the liberal proclivities of one Mr. Williams, this needs to be vetted and sourced for it smacks of a urban legend in the making.

Robin Willams did not pen this, but have you read his really funny piece called "I am a bad American" -- I wonder why no one has ever posted that here???

I'm sure Pat Buchanan wrote this.

Whoever attributed this to Robin Williams was trying to give the commie SOB a heart attack.

When I posted this a few weeks back the admin moderator pulled it because it is a hoax.
