A few weeks ago libs were foaming at the mouth over what John Wayne said in a PLAYBOY interview forty six years ago.

Obviously they did not read Bophammed Ali’s racial tirade in PLAYBOY around the same time.

Oh I made a funny! BOPhammed!

I took the oath Feb 7 67 and spent two years on active duty.

Clay NEVER did his DUTY.

My friend Bobby Roberts, an 18 year old Marine, got shot in the head doing his DUTY. F Cassius Clay and that is being NICE.

Why? Why do you think this is necessary.

I understand that he was just a boxer. He had charisma. But I don’t agree with a lot of what he did.

But is it necessary to say this stuff after he is gone?

Have a little respect. Nothing of what you write matters now.

Not true. The damage he did will linger long after his death...just like Obama. Why write the article? Because he is being worshipped as a great civil rights hero, a humanitarian, and a man of God. Nothing could be further from the truth.

When Ali was the baddest man on earth, he was cruel, venal, and ungrateful (especially to Joe Frazier, who supported him financially during Ali’s exile). Then, when Ali became a cripple the last 30 years of his life, he became “a great humanitarian”. He knew that if he popped off like he did when he was young, your average Freeper could kick his A$$.

I LOVE the moment he showed his disdain for the U.S. Olympics, and tossed his gold medal into the Ohio River off the shores of Louisville.

The article makes my point by exalting him as a great humanitarian for answering a girl’s mail, but conveniently excluding everything Ali actually believed.

You think you are writing anything that is going to change a single mind here? Or that will enlighten them with your words?

You are as deluded as the rest of those shitting on his grave tonight.

If he was as evil as you say he would not have answered her mail in such a thoughtful manner for 30 years.

I greave for anyone in hell, and want to do everything I can to help others not go there. Yea, tearing down Islam and Islamic idols is a dirty job, and not always pleasant. The truth hurts.

"Black people should marry their own women,” Ali declaimed. "God didn’t make no mistake!” .

Looking at Ali, I'd bet good money he has some white ancestry.
