4/7 Getting on Gandhi's case! Next thing you know, you guys will
be blasting Martin Luther King Jr. Why don't we slag off FDR,
JFK, Eisenhower, and Lincoln while we're at it? Damn, I mean,
HAS their been a leader that wasn't completely full of shit
and out to lunch? Its no wonder that we don't have great
leaders anymore - they would never survive the cynicism of
today.
\_ What's wrong with questioning leaders of any sort? And
while we're at it, Lincoln was a Republican who used
slavery as an excuse to attack his southern neighbors.
Actually mu favorite is JFK. I'd like to know what JFK did
that made him such a great leader. He brought us to the
edge of nuclear hell and back? He banged a few hot chicks?
Gave some good speeches? What?
\_ MLK was naive as a leader and a plagiarist. FDR was an
autocrat. JFK had mafia connections and took a lot of rash,
dangerous decisions. Ike was militarily a waffler. Hitler
liked dogs and children. Is this a new thing, not being
allowed to criticize leadership icons? Or do you just
love adhering to your grammar-school-inculated picture of a
black-and-white-world? -John
\_ Hitler was also vegetarian and did not drink or smoke.
He was also not a philanderer.
\_ FDR was the worst President ever - he is primarily
responsible for the destruction of this republic. What
were JFK's accomplishments? Assisinating Diem and setting
the stage for an inept civilian run war, the disaster in
the Bay of Pigs, etc. Yes, MLK was a inveterate plagiarist
and a hardcore Marxist, but you do have to give him credit
for standing up against that which was morally
reprehensible, when few others would.
\_ The public memory isn't quite the same as actual history of MLK:

\_ Okay, cool, so you guys can slag off just about anyone! So
who's Great? Oh wait, lemme guess...Reagan, Herbert
\_ The above were all very good comments. You can't duck all
those responses with a lame "you're all sheep" and expect
anyone to take you seriously or your point to look like
anything more than silly rantings. Try to respond to some
of them and demonstrate their wrongness and yo momma will
be proud of you. Until then, no more cookies for you, troll.
Hoover, Ted Nugent, the Tooth Fairy, and yo momma. By the
way, thanks for being sheep and making my point for me.
