Ed Asner is overrated.

[Yaelle]

Mr Grant should give away all of his savings and residuals until he only has enough left to purchase one fish head and a rice cake a day for the rest of his life.

[PhilDragoo]

I've heard this schmuck with his Communist apologies on Sean Hannity's radio show.

Asner is somewhere between a slug and a cockroach.

He illustrates the Left's promotion of Communism from FDR and Harry Hopkins, to FDR's ambassador to the Soviet Union, Joseph Davies, and the New York Times' Walter Duranty who thought Stalin's show trials were legitimate, there was no famine, and the gulag was a wonderful combination of the TVA and the Hudson Bay Company.

Today CNN and Dan Rather and Charles Rangel and Barbara Boxer and Hitlery das Butch von Buchenvald sing praises to Castro killer of 100,000.

And then there's Joseph C. Wilson a mainstay of MoveOn.org linked from CPUSA.org.

Red Asner, gives Castro Lewinsky's but would not leave America to live in the Cuban Worker's Paradise.

[Rome2000]

The answer this commie scumbag should have given was Joe McCarthy, not Joe Stalin.

[greydog]

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

I don't think there is a rational way to "understand" @ssholes like that monster.

2003 • No. 2	HISTORY AND CULTURE: Death of the Butcher Arnold Beichman
On the 50th anniversary of the death of Joseph Stalin, Arnold Beichman recalls the atrocities Stalin perpetrated—and the allure he held for craven Western intellectuals.
Arnold Beichman is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.	Fifty years ago, on March 5, 1953, Josef Vissarionovich Stalin died. One of the world’s great genocidists, comparable to Adolf Hitler not only as a mass killer but also as an anti-Semite, Stalin was preparing a large-scale pogrom, the outgrowth of what is today known as the “doctor’s plot.” How he died, when he died, and whether he was done in by his comrades, fearful of another purge, all remain a mystery to this day. With all that was known about Lenin’s monstrous successor, there is another mystery that is even older than the anniversary of Stalin’s death: How could so many otherwise intelligent people, who were not Communist Party members so far as we know, have spoken admiringly of Stalin?

Disgusting - shows how brainwashed hard-core "liberals" truly are.

[AndrewC]

I think ole' Eddie was pulling someone's chain.

[CGTRWK]

These people don't make any sense. Ashcroft's JD arrests a few terrorists, and for this they compare him to Hitler, who is "the greatest villain of all time." Stalin out murders Hitler by better than 2:1 and he's "misunderstood."

Ed's misunderstood idol made a much overquoted quote about one death being a tragedy while a million deaths are a statistic. When it comes to the world in the eyes of bleeding heart idiots like Ed, he was right.

[paulklenk]

Good ol' Joe, played by good ol' Ed. Lovely.

[DoughtyOne]

I'm sure 20 million dead Russian's feel Ed's pain over this shocking misunderstanding of Stalin.

[MissAmericanPie]

"I would love to ask Asner, a Jew whose real name is Yitzak Edward Asner, whether he would have been happy living under Stalin's boot."

Never mind Stalin, given his age, he may rather need to worry about how happy he is living under Satan's boot.

[Major_Risktaker]

"I think Joe Stalin was a guy that was hugely misunderstood," said Asner. "And to this day, I don't think I have ever seen an adequate job done of telling the story of Joe Stalin, so I guess my answer would have to be Joe Stalin."

If old Ed ran for Governor of CaliEfornia the LA times would never quote him on the Stalin statement.

[backhoe]

That Bloody Century Pass'd- "We have nothing to fear but Governments Themselves..."

[RocketWolf]

The best take on Stalin comes from Mark Rogers, who notes that WW2 was only a contest netween Hitler and Stalin to see who could kill the most Russians

"Come on people give eddie a break, he's suffering from a fart that is stuck sideways".

[metalboy]

This Asner is the biggest moron to ever be spewed out of Hollywood. Just a borderline retard. So anything he says I treat it like I`m listening to a 5 year old, because that`s just about highest mentality he`s ever reached.. if that. He has absolutely no clue about anything in the real world and consistently sticks his foot in his mouth anytime he opens that big yap of his. He`s one of the biggest supporters of that Mumia Abu Jamal mutt, the cop killer that France, no suprise, recently made an "honorary citizen" of that toilet bowl Paris. I guess garbage sticks together. Mumia who killed PO Danny Faulkner in 1981 in front of no less than FIVE witnesses. But all that is meaningless to this Asner mutt. He`s just a total garbage human being who is the epitome of the Hollywood star who lives in a complete fantasyland and consistently has trouble telling fact from fiction. Yes, Mumia Abu-Jamal, who on Dec. 9 1981, shot P.O.Danny Faulkner a total of five times, including once in the face in front of no less than five witnesses, all of who identified him, including a taxi driver who witnessed the whole thing from beginning to end. If you ever want to get physically ill, read the story about the support this scumbag gets from the usual pigs in Hollywood , how Hollywood is making movie about him, all because they didn`t like the fact that he was sentenced to death...Awww...my heart bleeds! They called the trial "unfair"..Why? because he was convicted? All the support he gets despite the fact that the evidence against this guy is so overwhelming, nothing short of having the entire crime on videotape could a case have been more convincing.

DENIAL OF FACTS- A LIBERAL TRADITION

ED ASNER: "The fact is that no ballistics tests were done, which is pretty stupid."

SAM DONALDSON: "But ballistics tests were done and proved the bullet was fired by a .38-caliber revolver!"

In memory of P.O. Danny Faulkner

1956-1981
