CNN founder Ted Turner is well-known for his outlandish liberal views, and CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux teed him up on Thursday to rant against nuclear weapons, call for higher taxes on the wealthy, and announce that “the big, intelligent, well-educated countries have already quit war.”

“President Obama, he says in his second term he wants to make climate change and protecting the environment a top priority. What do you think he should do? What should he do first?” Malveaux prodded the liberal Turner.

He’s really rather typical—something that many self-described conservative political folks appear to be ignorant of.

If Turner thinks war is “over”, he might try reading the Bible (but of course he would consider himself above that). Moron.

I hear North Korea wants to put flowers in their hair and go to San Francisco ... and Iran wants to make love not war. It’s all possible in the La La land of Ted Turner and CNN...

Just why does mental giant Turner think war (at least big war) has gone out of favor?

Ted Turner is a fool.

This from a rich man who has clearly stated he would like to see the world’s population decreased radically and quickly. He has no respect for human life or love. He’s a radical greenie with no character.
