giving himself far too much credit

Now that I read this, and reflect on the lunacy of last week, I think your right. I've hear Ed Asinine on Sean's show several times and he always inflates everything he says. I think he just hit a nerve during that week of conservative 'paranoia'.

Holy She-IT!!

and speaking of joe stalin, who knows but what it took a joe stalin to save mother Russia from the likes of Adolph. If I remember most of his murderous policies came after WWII. He became murdereously paranoid when the enemy was perceived to be in country.

The terror famine in the Ukraine, which killed somewhere around 10 million, was engineered in 1932-33, long before Hitler was an issue. Stalin did it as a "Final Solution" to rebellious Ukrainians who were resisting forced collectivization. There was an earlier deliberate famine in 1921-22 which killed almost 2 million.

Stalin did not need Hitler to provide an excuse for mass killings. He did just fine long before Adolf came on the scene.

The killings after WW2 were relatively minor, and concerned purges of the Communist Party itself. Some Communists were more upset about these latter purges because they happened to affect their own, rather than unimportant peasants

He questioned me on the economic class of people making up the typical Fields Shopper, and whether I noticed if lower class individuals where among them. He found it unlikely.

If you stop and think about it, what low-income parent is going to bring his kid to see Santa, and tell Santa about all he wants, and then have the kid be disappointed on Christmas. I would just avoid the whole issue, if I was in the parent's shoes

If ever there was an example of why it is important to stay away from history by memory I guess I am it. My time line for the engineered famine was way off. Thanks for the link.

[Big Horn]

I understand Stalin, he killed about 40 million innocent people.

[Knightsofswing]

Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

Let's see how Mr. Asner does when his movie bombs at the boxoffice!

[RightWingAtheist]

I think of the Outer Limits episode he made, "It Came Out of the Woodwork." That one was about a giant, deadly ball of hot gas which couldn't be killed, but had to be controlled.

OL is probably my all time favorite show...even though Asner AND Martin Sheen both appeared on it.

What's the question? Ed Asner must think of Joseph Stalin, the Communist dictator, as his personal friend so he calls him "Joe." Maybe Asner channels to him or something.

[weegee]

BUMP to shed light on the continued smears the left has been engaging in. Get Rove, Get Libby, Get DeLay, Get Frist, Get Bush, Get Savage, Get Hannity, Get Rush, Get O'Reilly, Get Bennett...

[gorush]

Yah, Ed, you really took Limbaugh down, didn't you? BWAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAA

[TASMANIANRED]

Sean will be shaking in his boots.

[ladyinred]

Thanks for bringing this back up! The scum are getting away with this stuff a little too much!

[Mr. Jazzy]

Mr. Asner is a "Clymer".



Big time.


hahaha

"I think Joe Stalin was a guy that was hugely misunderstood," said Asner.

That's absolutely correct: Stalin was misunderstood. Especially by millions of gulllible Westerners who thought that "Uncle Joe" was a big, loveable teddy bear of a Russian who just wanted a better life for his people. Meanwhile, in the Lubyanka prison, thousands of innocent "traitors to the state" were summarily executed by his NKVD henchmen, while in the countryside, millions of Ukranians died of forced starvation. So, he made a few mistakes, right, Ed?

[TheForceOfOne]

Ed ASSner?

Boy that's scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Who's next, Jan-Michael Vincent?
