Commie trash. If you look at his thesis, he basically is describing himself. I almost put a hole in my monitor watching that one.

Send them a comment on this one. This one is WAY over the top.

There has to be some power in the world superior to our own - for our own sake.

Even if it's an evil power, Andy? Try thinking with your brain for once instead of with your rather capacious, gas-emitting orifice.

This article makes me sick....Don't read it ..insted enjoy your Sunday night.....I for one am going to send another $10 to the freeperkeeper.

[max_rpf]

I did put the appropriate warning in the header. Sorry to detract from your Sunday eve.

[Southack]

Ah, but Clinton and Chirac didn't get UN approval for their 1999 War on Serbia...and little old Andy Rooney didn't bother to criticize that small oversight.

"There has to be some power in the world superior to our own - for our own sake."

There is, we call Him God.

Didn't know anyone watched the Senility Hour any more. (shrug)

[wizardoz]

Yeah, you want us to do for the UN what Little Miss Kneepads did for Slick. Newsflash, y'old pinko. Not happening. Later.

Happened to hear this idiot spouting off tonight. Andy Looney thinks it was a mistake to take Saddam out of power. He didn't support it from the beginning but thought it was OK since the war went so well. Now he is against it again because it is taking more that 6 months to install a new government and rebuild the nation that Saddam was working to devolve into a 3rd world country.

Saddam had the UN on his payroll with the Oil for Food program so Kofi and his buds weren't about to cut him off. Andy would rather have the UN dictate US foreign policy than the President. What a loser.

Commie trash.

Please explain what makes this article (or the author) "commie trash".

If you understand what a communist is, fine.
If not, kindly stop making an ass out of yourself.

The only thing I find more infuriating than articles like this one are the masses of 'conservatives' who label anybody they disagree with as a 'communist'... without having a clue as to how that term applies to the person they have just labeled.

It's embarrassing to every intelligent conservative here.

Time to put this old fartbag out to pasture with Dan Rather and most of the network dinosaurs.

Times are a changin and the old establishment still has it's head up it's arse.

Even the youth of Iran are more politically savy than these old fartbags!

[Paul Atreides]

Andy Rooney is one of the myriad of people who, when one thinks about how long they have been around, and have been labeled an institution, makes one scratch one's head in bewilderment.

[IncPen]

I wish President Bush would try to make this country less hated.

I don't.

We've got some people who don't believe in our American ideals -- so watch out.

Yes, and they are all represented at the United Nations.

The French and the Germans were against attacking Iraq because they do a lot of business there.

Yep. They do business with known dictators and keep them in power because they want cheap gasoline (or "petrol").

CNN kept their mouths quiet about torture and murder in Iraq so that they could keep their Baghdad bureau.

No blood for ratings and no blood for oil. There does not have to be a war for blood to be spilled when a blood thirsty dictator (and his 2 sons) are in power.

[weegee]

Clinton didn't get UN or other nations approval for his 1998 bombing raid on Iraq either.

"Didn't know anyone watched the Senility Hour any more."

NO KIDDING!!!!!!! They need to check this poor man in...right away!! His dementia was never more obvious than with tonight's drivel....absolutely incoherent!!

[jraven]

Here is a typical Andy Rooney column or tv piece:

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Look at the number of "I"s. The blunt truth: he is a relic, and not because of his political positions. His act has way outworn its welcome. You can tell the show is produced by someone in their 80s.

Relax, and take a deep breath before you start attacking people you don't even know. As for getting into a tit for tat as to what the definition of a "Commie" is -- forget it. I went back and read some of your other posts and am not interested.
