“The KGB, I think, was an honorable place to work” with “worthwhile” achievements, CNN founder Ted Turner contended in an interview aired on Sunday's Meet the Press in which he blamed the U.S. for starting the battles with Vladimir Putin “by putting the Star Wars system in Czechoslovakia and Poland” and, when host Tom Brokaw recalled that Leonid Brezhnev reacted to Jimmy Carter's outreach by invading Afghanistan, Turner retorted with moral equivalence: “Well, we invaded Afghanistan, too, and it's a lot further -- at least it's on the border of the Soviet Union.”
Stupid pinko.
Ted is clueless.
On MTP this morning Tom Brokejaw was more respectful to TT than he was to Laura Bush.
“I never realized just how much of a Marxist he is.”
He’s worse than a Marxist. He’s one of the rich who is fairly impervious to the effects of big government and who wants the rest of the ‘masses’ to live indistinguishably from each other, away from him. if he truly believes in Marxism then let him give away all his money and turn CNN into a not-for-profit (I know it might not be pulling much of a profit now, but that’s not by intent).
Oh, just ask someone who knew Litvinenko before he was poisoned with Polonium 210 by a former KGB agent if the KGB is ‘honorable’.
How did such a stupid ass make billions?
He better rethink how long the communists would put up with his ramdom “disloyal statements” before he found himself up against a wall and offered a final cigarette and a blindfold by a KGB Officer.
What a POS.
Ted needs to go back and tend his buffalo head in Nebraska. Maybe he can go check the ice floes in the Artic....great therapy for the elderly.....
Well, he DID marry Jane Fonda.
This should come as no surprise to anybody, especially now:
That phuckwit Turner is just auditioning for a post in the 0bama politburo.
Maybe special envoy to the old Communist Party in Russia.
After all, Ted gave so many of their fellow comrades at Pravda and Tass jobs after the fall of the Soviet Union, I’m sure he would be most welcome there.
“When you are rich, they think you really know” (Tevye...Fiddler on the Roof)
Nothing could be further from the truth, but poor Ted doesn’t have a clue. Don’t hate the man. Pity him.
Ted just earned himself the Armand Hammer award. Jeez what a syphilitic old fool.
Well, he did get to see Jane Fonda naked... when she was 45. LOL Otherwise, I pity the man.
Why did ‘Meet the Perps’ have Ted on?
nbc nothing but cuckoos
Turner is proof that America is such a great country that even a flaming moron can become a billionaire.
This man isn’t even a traitor. Jane Fonda was a traitor. Her ex is just a pompous idiot.
This morning, he said he admires Castro
