Hunter shmoozes about Dubya

[pinfold1000]

the boy king fits bush well

[CrashPadder]

Clapton & Hunter are God

[SHRKATTCK]

Around 2:30.... "The government should take care of it's people" Hunter, if only you and John Lennon, Bob Marley and Maynard James Keenan got together and ran the world! Along with Dr MLK and Bono and BRUUUUUUUCCCCCEEEEE!!!

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

The bastard sure mumbles a lot, doesn't he?

[TheMoonunit13]

A man who hungers for the truth ,should expect no mecy and therefore give none. HST

[MsAdam409]

I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SPEND JUST ONE WEEK LIVIN LIFE WITH THIS MAN, TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH, and He Speaks IT!!!!! Hunter, Your candle burned out long b4 the LEGEND ever DID!

[ladybluetexan]

His Gift (and his curse) was being able to see the Truth.

Thank God he wrote it down.

[TwyfordianArc]

...zoginated

[Pfsif]

I can only understand every 3 word from HT? Just don't get the love?

[PeterHBne1]

@Pfsif you just have to listen harder. and the great thing thing is he communicates so effectively, even when he is really hard to understand and as you say you can only understand every other word. it's probably best that way.

[74killkillkill]

i would cut my cock off for the opportunity to get rowdy with hunter just once.

I wish Charlie Rose would realize that he's not interesting and shut the fuck up.

@dangoettel100 Gonzo broadcasting. He is making himself the story.

[pmsan29]

Hunter 'bohemian grove' Thompson...The man was a tool for the sick elites.

[deftones4u]

wow 3 people that should be shot in the face ... miss you hunter

[MrDavearama]

Wonder what Hunter would say about Obama's leadership these days?

[TROLLIRL]

Hunter is jesus wish he was here today amazing insight

[timetohuntowls]

hunter said.....(quote as close as possible) "Who knows, I may wind up with my head cut off next week or something......theyre gonna make it look like a suicide........I know how these bastards think"

Hunter was investigating nine-eleven for himself.

Hunter had way too many enemies to want to off himself

Hunter would have gone out with a BIG bang if it were his own choice FIREWORKS n BLOW

threatening loved ones breaks down any man

just sayin....dont believe the hype

[braeun6]

@timetohuntowls Oh no... we're not going conspiracy theory on Thompson's death are we? Please no.  Dude blew his head off with a shotgun while his son was in the next room. Did the men in black drop from helicopters through the roof and then vanish without trace? Was there a third gunman on the grassy knoll?

[dkshotwell]

Classic alcoholic, speaks in stacatto bursts. Not a hero, not a deep thinker. Was he a tallented writer, yep, but his life boiled down to being just another in an endless line of drunks. A wasted life.

[khazal12]

@dkshotwell if someone can effect the way 1 person thinks to the day that person dies, I wouldn't call that a wasted life. If he can open someone's eyes to not take things on face value, that's not a waste. Hunter didn't just do that for 1 person, he did it for a generation. Drugs and alcohol may well have been the reason that Hunter thought like he did, and wrote like he did. He accomplished more in his life, and reached more people than we can ever expect to.

[tom6612]

@dkshotwell - They don't come more stupid than you. You contradict yourself and that shows just how much you are talking out of your ass. You wouldn't know what a wasted life or a well spent life was if your life depended upon it.

[dkshotwell]

@tom6612 A wasted life is wanting to get wasted every day, a well spent life is serving Jesus.

[tom6612]

@dkshotwell - Hunter had so many brilliant observations ( i.e. deep thinking ) that one would have to be wasted to miss them. My favorite was his "wave" speech as he called it which came from "F&L in Vegas" ( i'd expect you were at the high water mark breaking that wave).

I've never heard anybody sum up the 1960's so perfectly and i was there so I'm talking from experience.

The amount of great art and music turned out by people that liked their buzz is stunning. You are too narrow-minded.

[drunkduck1000]

god bless hunter s thompson. an age of fully mutured brains. a free thinker

[UltraLowSound]

The title was "Jesus Hated Bald Pussy" which is why Charlie didnt want to say it...and Hunter tries to play it off with "I think this book is all about..." as if nothing happened.."It has nothing to do with the concept"

Charlie didnt finish the final sentence..."a loud and meaningless animal with no functional intelligence and no balls". RIP HST

[stickman225]

poor hunter.i can see how frustrated he gest when these talkshow hosts try to push him around

[braeun6]

@stickman225 Charlie Rose pushes his guests around?? Seems like the nicest f'ing guy on the planet to me.

[stickman225]

@braeun6 no n, I love Charlie Rose. i just mean he kinda pushes hunter and questions him, which, as a good journalist, he should do. i love their synergy

[nyghtowl]

OP thanks for this great clip.

[wealthmaster71]

I don't know but have a personal feeling he may have killed him self over a broken heart from the decline of America.

[bulletbill50cal]

he looks like the dali lama

[timmyp34]

What is the fascination with this guy? He sounds like a babbling idiot to me.

[MikeMcGantic]

Hunter...he saw right through the BS...we need him now as we get shit on by Obama and the Fed...maybe he'd be proud of us...maybe not now...but what we will accomplish in the next few years...maybe he'd be proud...

[rog944]

Holy crap, how many times does this guy stick his tongue out!? A lizard for sure.

[goodvibesallround]

I read the other day in the new york times that 1 in 5 american are living on the poverty line. For one of the richest countries in the world, that's quite fucked up!.

I love how Hunter could give a fuck less about Pete's "accomplishments". It screams, "You dont get it."

[iloveweed621]

it's really sad to think about how famous he was and how america kind of just watched in awe as he destroyed his life, and that he really was a smart and good guy but we frequently only ever heard the drugs talking

[shoulderutube]

It's hard nowadays to differentiate between what we see in the movies and what's happening in real life.how would any of us act if we knew the CIA was watching us or anyone else .it's so simple ;we try to hard to believe that things like CIA assignations only happen in movies that we(over the years) have blocked it from our memories and only accept it as entertainment exclusive to the big screen.how would you know?you don't .and that is the kind of system we are in now.it gas excellerated to th

[reaver751]

Anyone even get a word of what Hunter even said?

[harr1s0nF0rd]

Lol. Looks like this is where all the teenagers on youtube hang out. You guys need to eat some cereal and watch a Stallone movie.

[jimboofharrock]

@harr1s0nF0rd This man has destroyed his mind with drugs and alcohol and seeing him in that state is not inspiring. However this man, even with a destroyed mind, speaks more sense than you; cereals and Stallone? Read some of his early material, you may think differently, but I doubt it.

[Raiderfn31]

rich kid? he was smarter than his peers....look it up

[Robstailey]

hunter spoke only truth. he had no party affiliations, he couldn't be persuaded by money, he said what he saw. that is the essence of gonzo.

[thatboyhov]

it's like they're playing footsie

[guerrillajack]

i love HST as much as anyone, but you guys leaving comments gotta stop trying to talk like hunter...... it's lame..... STOP TRYING TO SOUND LIKE HIM, if everyone sounded like hunter.... would he sound so awesome? think about it.

[mrWSMITCHELL]

the dirty bastard would not even read the words of the great man he was suposed to inteview.laft them of like he was a drunken fool.....cunt

[MrBasilGanglia]

Jimmy Carter is and was a fucking twit.

[npspec34]

This is your mind after 40 yrs of drugs.

Sweet sweating Jesus he can barely spit out a coherent thought.

And yet with the proper vision you can almost see where the wave broke before the water receded to the ocean.

[MrJoespray]

The fact that Hunter killed himself is the ultimate "fuck you" to the greed-heads, flag-suckers, and fear-peddlers. He understood the power of the "Hunter S. Thompson" mythos and decided to write the last chapter as only he knew how. He lived and died the American dream. Like that Canadian Neil Young said, "It's better to burn out, than it is to rust...."

[bapyou]

Karl Marx, Fidel Castro and Hunter S. Thompson are right.

Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan and George Bush are wrong.

"As your attorney, I advise you to drive at top speed!"

Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo. Revolt of the Cockroach People. Oscar Acosta lives on in the hearts of his people.

[MrBasilGanglia]

@bapyou You are a fucking MORON!!!

[bapyou]

@MrBasilGanglia No. The morons are persons such as George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman. Those three ... and a host of other conservtive nitwits ... are the true morons.

[MrBasilGanglia]

@bapyou That may well be the case...but I KNOW you are a moron. I also know you are one of the slavery loving, liberty hating bullshit artists who have never produced a fucking thing in their/your life. Read Friedman and then make comments like that you fucking ignorant loser. Jesus Christ, I can't believe you, a Mental defective, are allowed to vote. Good luck loser.

[bapyou]

"you are one of the slavery loving, liberty hating bullshit artists who have never produced a fucking thing in their/your life."

Yeah. Me and Milton Friedman's pal Augusto Pinochet. We're the slavery lovers. That's us!

I suggest you inquire into the actual outcomes of Friedman's neoliberal policies around the world. Slavery is closer to the mark than you may want to know.

[MrBasilGanglia]

@bapyou "Karl Marx, Fidel Castro and Hunter S. Thompson are right." These were your words, written, I presume by you. That is evidence of your stupidity. Individual Liberty is what I champion...I am sorry that you do not. Thompson would have been put in jail by Castro and your buddy Che was a cowardly murderer...no hero. Enjoy living off the producers...while you can.

[bapyou]

@MrBasilGanglia "Che was a cowardly murderer" You mean, like Ronald Reagan?

[MrBasilGanglia]

@bapyou Ha, you just hanged yourself. I needn't have even replied, but being a fallible human being, I had to. Goodbye.

[bapyou]

Ronald Reagan, the cowardly murderer, funded the deaths of 1000s of Central American civilians: women, children, peasants, Catholic priests, nuns, all of whom struggled for a better life against US-backed governments repressing them in the name of profits for the few. Che Guevara killed members of fighting forces which wanted Cuba to remain the whorehouse of the United States. Don't you just hate it when nations choose independence? Get down with your fascist self, Paco.

[chuckdd4201]

@bapyou You are so ignorant, Regan was the greatest President of the 20th century. if you wanna talk facisim, talk about the Obama administration. At least Regan didn't try to silence his critics or deem regular citizens as terrorists if they dis-agreed with his policies. By the wat Che was a murderer and a racist too. He hated blacks and Marx was a self hating jew. You communists need to go live in argentina or venezula and see first had what fasisim really is!

[bapyou]

Hello little boy. You can't even spell Reagan. Some more history for your uninformed ass: In addition to Reagan's murdering exploits in Central America, he is also responsible for the greatest transfer of wealth from the working & middle classes to the already-wealthy classes in American history. Today we have the greatest disparity of wealth ever. He was also the world's greatest union buster. Thanks Ron!

[ZiggyShiv]

makes me kind of sad how the interviewer was trying so hard to dominate the conversation. he was waiting for a chance to speak rather than listen to what hunter had to say.

[MrBasilGanglia]

@ZiggyShiv HST could barely get a coherent thought out of his fucking mouth. He was overrated and I read all his shit many times. Laughed my ass off to alot of it, but he was not a GREAT writer, just a one hit wonder.

[menotsane75]

@MrBasilGanglia so, you great fucking marvel...which ONE hit was it?? The vegas book? how about great shark hunt? FandL:72? Cruse of lono? come to think of it..who the fuck are you? you shiesty sounding fucking scumbag? You're a dumb fuck that need to be euthenized for the sake of what little gene pool there is in this country... you scruvy- ridden shithole. May the lord strike you dead at your childs' P-ball game for all to see! Warmest reguards... -M

[MrBasilGanglia]

@menotsane75 What did he write AFTER F&L Vegas that was as good or better? The Kentucky Derby was BEFORE Vegas, and the story'The Great Shark Hunt" was excellent, but just a short story. Curse of Lono was good, but still not on par with vegas. The rest are just compilations and scratchings of thoughts. I see him as a good writer just not great. No need to show how much of a dickhead you are.

[menotsane75]

@MrBasilGanglia man, you're dumb. the grat shark hunt, while a short stry, is the title of his collected works. better than sex was a month by month run down of the clinton camps run And his only comp was generation of swine. kingdom of fear was his bio..you should read more before you start spouting like you've read his catalog. And as for the "dickhead" comment... your momma. now please fuck off... hope your day went well.. be safe.. -M

[MrBasilGanglia]

@menotsane75 I have read everything he has published. The Great Shark Hunt was crap except for The Great Shark Hunt and Kentuck Derby. Better than sex was crappy...he had lost it long before that. His last gig was a sports writer. Hell, even HE came to see the truth.

[Punbaba1]

Why is Hunter dead?

Google : Hunter Thompson Franklin Coverup

[GonzoEnder]

You guys... i realized there are others besides CIA who might have a reason to perform an assassination on HST. Israeli Mossad had something to gain from shutting him up for sure.

[shay10chief]

@GonzoEnder he killed himself end of story

[TheSnapperfish]

@GonzoEnder hunter thompson was a great writer, but you are delusional if you think that the us government assassinated him at the age of 66. why would the government kill an aging writer. he killed himself. if he had died in the early seventies or late sixties i guess you could maybe think that but its ridiculous to think that the CIA killed him when hes too old to make a difference

[MrBreezykilt]

it makes sense that he killed him self he wanted out on his own terms, if you really knew who Hunter s. Thomson was you'd know that he shot himself. his family agrees and so should, punbaba1 your website is disrespectful to hunter and his family. @GonzoEnder and punbaba1

[menotsane75]

@GonzoEnder

Really? what?

nut up or shut the fuck up...

where are your sources, shmuck?

He took his own life..juan was there and he said it.

[GonzoEnder]

"What do you think bombing a whole population IS?!?"

[Hurricane333]

Did the interviewer actually say what I think he said at 2.05? Sounds like the architect from the Matrix...

[turbojb]

I love this guy but i have no idea what hes talking about here.

[waynebollman]

Assassinated.

he was in on the occult

Your local "81" was too easy on this schmuck

[timwins31]

Bogus rich kid. . .wow.

A man who always told the brutal truth and could see right through the bullshit.

[jcamers]

couldnt have put it better myself.

[1doc1savage1]

HST, master of the run-on sentence. Forever may english professors tear their eyes out.

He had dubya pinned like a bug on a display board.

[samboni10]

I've always thought Rose to be a great interviewer, but I'm wondering if he was friends with Ol' Hunter, he seems to really toss proverbial jabs at him with little fear of the Good Doctor's wrath (who btw seems exceptionally patient with Rose) anybody have any insight on this?

[ex1le444]

@samboni10 they were very old friends, from way back in the early '60! Very old friends & your observation is 100% correct!

[h01979]

Trop fort.

[Jagermeister196]

It's must've been hard to get an interview with Hunter, Breakfast with Hunter, has some jewels tho!

[blaklodge]

I like Rose but sometimes he talks about what he knows too much. One of the most underrated HST interviews though

[Research0digo]

Charlie Rose, bless his heart, has to interject & rush this 'tortured genius' - to cram as many coherant messages as he can between thenecesary commercials paying for the show.

Too damned bad he couldn't snag a one on one special (HBO?) with HST to give him due (and more time).

NO, he wasn't referring to the economy as 'so we can feed our kids and pay our mortgages'.

SHEESH

I mean, I understand why the hurry - but HST doesn't rush, he flows.

[ex1le444]

@Research0digo yes, well put!

[playoldgames]

Sharp as a tack, and as insightful as ever. Love the man and his work, long may it live in infamy.

[maelstone]

"They're gonna make it look like suicide," he said. "I know how these bastards think . .

[tarikwasthere]

Hunter Thompson and Charlie Rose are old friends.

[nothahari]

so what if charlie disagreed and laughed a bit in what he read? the point got out there. enjoy the cog, doc. see you on the flip side...

[XYZandTime]

I wish I got to sit on a plane next to Hunter S.

[Research0digo]

XYZ

Great insight, well spoken!

[Borbnert]

Thank you, nothahari. That's the proper quote.

[nothahari]

no problem. it is a deep tenement that i hold deep for myself.

[AmericanMade85]

Just listen to the last minute of this video when charlie is reading an excerpt out of the book. You all can get a real sense of what Hunter was about and how he was genius. Charlie laughs it off but every damn word of it is true. It"s intelligent to question as opposed to following everyone into the wreck.

[Potalot]

r.i.p hunter ,what a fucking waste.i miss really miss your way of colouring this grey road of life.

[AlexCampion1980]

Dude, come on - most people may not get suicide, but what use is a man once he has lost the will to live; burnt out; eaten away, and more important, in constant physical pain and discomfort? He'd had enough man. And it wasn't on a whim, he'd been weighing it up for a long time. There's no waste. It's just sad life does that to some.

[tab1990]

what year is this

[cokboydeluxejr]

the interviewer is such a fucking shit. He needs to shut the fuck up.

[CatharticWeek]

Why negative rep this guy. He keept on cutting hunter off!

[FearandLoathinginSD]

Hunter s thompson kicks ass!

[TheGreatFoldini]

Hunter was so intelligent and he'd seen so much bullshit already. He knew Bush wouldn't fund any social projects that he promised and would construct a KINGDOM OF FEAR.

[kemikcun]

poor hunter. I love him, man, he has some goddamned beautiful soul.

[rabbancorp]

pardon my ignorance but who is this piece of shit hack dirt-bag interviewing the gonzo master?who the fuck does he think he's talkin to

[rhesusmonkeydave]

I concur

[jenkins700]

charlie rose dude. where have you been the past twenty years?

[bodnotbod]

In another interview it seems that HST is friends with the guy, so don't be too harsh.

[hackslate]

Priceless. I try to catch Charlie every night.

[mjanzen49]

i love his hat
