I feel sorry for him; you can feel the despair coming out through the words.

After reading the article I took it as derision...sorta. He outed Obama as someone who just isn’t fit for the job.

One thing I did learn is that Gore Vidal is a sodomite. That was news to me, & never had an inkling about it.

"There is a change coming.....it’ll happen in 2010 when the left is run out of office."

Hopefully so. The democrat party is nothing but an absolute threat to America's National Security.

The sooner they are thrown out, the safer we become.

“WE?” This clown counts himself as an AMERICAN? Swell. And we’ll have NO dictatorship as long as 100 million American citizens are armed.

Gore Vidal is a honest liberal. He expresses the way that liberals think but are too afraid to speak it in public. Liberals have contempt for the American people. They see the American people as ignorant buffoons. Of course, the libs see themselves as intellectual elites, the enlightened ones. Obama’s problem, according to Vidal, is that Obama is too intellectual for the American people. If Obama is an intellectual, then the intellectual class is hurting big time. Obama is dumber than a brick. He can’t even deliver a speech without a teleprompter. Unless someone tells him what to say, he just repeats vapid cliches and slogans. He speaks, but says nothing. Is this what passes for intellect? Vidal destroyed the homosexual argument for marriage. His one statement about homosexuality was devastating. He spoke the truth. I don’t admire Vidal. He is a pompous jerk; however, he is not stupid. He has the guts or stupidity to speak his mind.

LOL this sort of gave it away.

Vidal says that he hates labels and has said he believes in homosexual acts rather than homosexual people. He claims his relationship with Austen was platonic (though they reputedly met at a legendary New York bath-house). He was once quoted as saying that he’d had sex with a 1,000 men by the time he was 25.

And he has the battered sphincter to prove it. Gore is the definition of "bitter old queen."

You can see Vidal’s senility and how he reaches a false conclusion (about “dictatorship”) when he says that America was “corrupted” under Bush.... but he doesn’t mention Clinton?

Or the entire corrupt Socialist edifice of the Democrat Party?

America has *always* been in a state of “falling apart”, and as a quasi-historian Vidal is disingenuous not to mention that.

At least 53 percent of American voters are demonstrably buffoons, because they produced Obozo.

I know this was posted yesterday but it deserves another look. Really? We needed to waste JimRob's bandwidth on a second thread about the hateful ramblings of this decrepit puke? Really?

>>> The dude is a loon of the first degree. <<<<

The first 1/3rd had some very predictable snarky “Vidalisms.”

The latter 2/3rds was just dreck, a degenerate homo who has been a flaming queen all his life but protests being identified as such.

“And we’ll have NO dictatorship as long as 100 million American citizens are armed.”

The very, very sad truth is I don’t think any one will do anything to stop it from happening.

That’s what Obama needs — a bit of Lincoln’s chill.” Has he met Obama? “No,” he says quietly, “I’ve had my time with presidents.” Vidal raises his fingers to signify a gun and mutters: “Bang bang.” He is referring to the possibility of Obama being assassinated. “Just a mysterious lone gunman lurking in the shadows of the capital,” he says in a wry, dreamy way.

There - He said it first.

Recently, armed citizens in Louisiana surrendered theirs with only grumbling protests.

To be effective, armed opposition requires violence, and nowadays Americans are just too squeamish.

I find it interesting that the left keeps having this dream of him being shot.

Neither, it is the statement of a liberal, blame Bush lunatic. Here are some more of his rantings.

Obama would have been better off focusing on educating the American people. His problem is being over-educated. He doesn’t realise how dim-witted and ignorant his audience is. Benjamin Franklin said that the system would fail because of the corruption of the people and that happened under Bush.”

You can be super intelligent, but still be a lunatic.
