CNN: Rockwell's granddaughter paints terrorists; says global warming is bigger danger

“When you look that closely at someone, you almost always develop sympathy for them,” Rockwell says. “It's like sitting next to someone for a long bus ride. … I want to think about who these people are and why they made the choices they did. I want to share the results of my thoughts, which are my paintings, with other people.”

She was particularly inspired to paint bin Laden.

“We take for granted who he was and what he did and why, and stop thinking of him as a human being with profoundly human motivations. The war on terror is quite bizarre, when you think about it, because it's a war on an emotion - fear. At least, that is what we are told. Instead of just being at war, we are trying to stamp out fear itself.”

Hey flucker.. is your ass jealous for the shit that comes out of your mouth????

Hey, she may not have inherited Norman's amazing talents, but she sure did inherit his looks.

I was once told by an aspiring avant garde artist that the true purpose of art not to craft beautiful and inspiring images as one would suppose. Instead, arts true purpose to evoke a desired response. I would say Ms Rockwell not only has no artistic talent to craft beautiful or inspiring images, but she also has no real talent to convey any emotional response that conveys any sort of message or social commentary, despite the fact that it seems to be her obvious intent and conceit to do so.

Horrible. She is considered an artist? Grade school level.

Eddie - no he would not...
Rockwell went major lib toward the end of his life when he married his second wife...she was extremely liberal...

[Slings and Arrows]

Without the famous relative, she'd be another unemployed nobody, just like George Clooney.

Hey, it works for the Kennedys.

If she thinks America is so bad and Islamic theocracy is so wonderful it's worth killing people over, she should spend some time looking up prisoners of conscience who refuse to submit to Islam like the priest in Iran.

What do the hostesses on that show know anyway?

Whoopi Goldberg spent the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing INSISTING that it was all a hoax.

[dfwgator]

No way......we landed on the moon?

[cherry]

maybe she should complete the circle and draw faces of people getting their heads sawed off....

[rmlew]

Rockwell was a liberal. His son an oikophobe. His granddaughter supports our enemies. I am saddened but not surprised. A family rots from its roots.

[a fool in paradise]

She doesn't even have the talent to draw a comic book.

(Charles Schulz worked on some of this one.)

NORMAN Rockwell?

I thought they meant George Lincoln Rockwell’s granddaughter, when I read the excerpt.

[ApplegateRanch]

Don’t know if she’s ever made any tools, but I’m willing to bet several tools have made her. LOL

[JediJones]

And more reason why the inheritance tax is probably the fairest tax there is.

[Titan Magroyne]

If you can’t be talented, outrageous must suffice.

What an idiot.

[Lady Jag]

They've bred out their brain cells.

[Slings and Arrows]

It happens. Compare Ernest Hemingway to granddaughters Margret and Muriel.
