I idolized Fischer back in 1972 when I was an 11 year old chess geek.

Now all I can say is good riddance to bad rubbish.

I don't think there's much question that he's clinically insane.

He was always weird (even more weird than the average chess geek - and I married one, so I should know!) but his history paints a pretty clear picture of a progressive slide into schizophrenia.

I really wonder if he's sufficiently of sound mind to be responsible for anything he's done in the last couple of decades.

Maybe Kerry/Edwards will make a trip to see their "friends" in far off places and we can do the same thing to them?

[mass55th]

Can't he take a few of those Hollywierd lefties with him while he's at it?

"We want to look far and wide for countries that are willing to accept him," Suzuki said.

North Korea comes to mind...

[skeeter]

Good for Bobby. I wish more Americans who hate the US would renounce their citizenship & move.

Unfortunately, all the ones I know aren't going anywhere.

[Bernard Marx]

North Korea comes to mind...

Cuba? (Payback for Mariel).

[Revelation 911]

in which he praised the strikes and said he wanted to see America "wiped out."

buh bye - dont let the door hit you on the way out

I'd prefer to see him go to France. The Freench could use him more.

Nah. He'd be way to accepted and comfortable in France.

I really wonder if he's sufficiently of sound mind to be responsible for anything he's done in the last couple of decades.

There is no question that he is several fries short of a happy meal, but I would not go so far as to say that he is not responsible for anything he has done.

IMHO, he is a bitter, pathetic excuse for a human being.

But renunciation of his citizenship cannot take effect until he has met a U.S. consular official and conveyed his intent in person, she said.

And he will never show up in person, since he has committed felonies against the US which would result in his immediate arrest.

Fischer was continuing to look at the option of seeking German citizenship, since his father was German. Documents to prove his German citizenship were still being collected, Bosnitch told the same news conference.

Fischer does not really know who his father is. His mother was a US citizen, but his real paternity is a matter of speculation.

The man Fischer currently believes to be his father (he has had several different theories at different times) was a German citizen, but he was also a Jewish victim of the Holocaust.

But Fischer prefers to think of him as a simple German because Fischer is a raving anti-Semite.

I'd like to see idiots like himleave with a libtard under each arm, more efficient that way.

[Common Sense 101]

In my best David Spade voice…

Bub –bye now… bub-bye.

[Sicon]

Buh-bye, ya tool!

[Kenton]

The letter, copies of which were made available to the media, added: "As a result of the above-stated criminal act, as well as innumerable other vicious crimes against me by the U.S. government, I no longer wish to be an American citizen."

Dis cat needs a tinfoil hat...

Now all I can say is good riddance to bad rubbish.

Thank you Bobby..
cleaning America.... one weirdo at a time.

[kennedy]

David Spade ... "Buh Bye!"

Helen Hunt ... "What part didn't you understand? The Buh or the Bye?"

[AnAmericanMother]

Oh, I think he's a bitter, pathetic excuse for a human being TOO . . . but from what I've read he may also be barking mad.

At the least, they should require him to undergo a mental exam as soon as they manage to get extradition. And then send him somewhere for a nice long stay . . .

He'd be perfect for Effn's advisory staff.
