ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- CNN founder Ted Turner, reacting to criticism of his comments to a London newspaper about violence in the Middle East, said Tuesday he regretted "any implication that I believe the actions taken by Israel to protect its people are equal to terrorism."

I wonder if this feeble explanation will get anywhere near the coverage the original statement got?

He condemns the loss of human life? He is a lover of abortion. Murder of the truly innocent. What a hypocrite. As to Israel, she is the country of God's chosen people, how dare Ted Turner condemn her. V's wife.

HEY TT,

YOU PUT SANITY LIKE A COAT BUT DUPLICITY IS IN YOUR BLOOD.

Bitterness, anger, arrogance, audacious insensitivity, control freakism, globalism are in your blood. Whitewashing will only make the black spots show through more starkly. Dissassemble on oh ungreat one.

People with something between their ears already have your number!

Sorry, Ted. You can't take back your librium-withdrawal rantings now. Everyone already knows you're an anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, manic-depressive CLYMER.

How many "foot in the mouth" retractions does this make?

[gaspar]

To paraphrase the French ambassador at the British teaparty, Ted Turner is a shitty little man.
