I Love this Guy

>From Hunter Thompson's book, "Kingdom of Fear":

When Muhammad Ali declined to be drafted and forced to kill "gooks" in 
Vietnam he said, "I ain't got nothin' against them Viet Cong.  No Cong 
ever called me Nigger."

I agreed with him, according to my own personal ethics and values.  He 
was Right.

If we all had a dash of Muhammad Ali's eloquent courage, this country 
and the world would be a better place today because of it.

. . .

We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world-a nation of 
bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully.  We are 
not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear 
in our hearts.  We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us 
. . . No redeeming social value.  Just whores.  Get out of our way, or 
we'll kill you.

Well, shit on that dumbness.  George W. Bush does not speak for me or my 
son or any mother or my friends or the people I respect in this world. 
We didn't vote for these cheap, greedy little killers who speak for 
America today-and we will not vote for them again in 2002.  Or 2004.  Or 
ever.

Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads?  Who among us can be happy 
and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands?  Who are these 
swine?  These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid 
little rich kids like George Bush?

They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for 
refusing to kill gooks.  They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and 
vicious in the American character.  They are the racists and hate mongers 
among us they are the Ku Klux Klan.  I piss down the throats of these Nazis.

And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.

My sentiments exactly.
