Mr. Vidal seems to have forgotten the War of 1812 when the US attacked Canada in response to British impressment of US sailors in order to fight Napoleon in Europe.
As Britain did not recognize naturalized American citizenship, they impressed over 9,000 sailors who claimed to be American citizens but were British born.
The US government did not like this and attacked Canada.
Fortunately, we drove you Yankee bastards back across the border & then we burned Washington down
why doesn't the ifc channel put this show back on that air? it can't have gotten worse ratings than the shit the put on now. i mean, fuck. have you seen that show about men with beards? or that portlandia shite? they even put advertisements on during the rare occasions when they show movies! the channel totally sucks now, i hope the people that run it burn in hell.
25 years ago, Vidal was spewing the same anti-American crap, substitute "Reagan" for "Bush" then, and claiming that the Soviets, rather than the Islamunists, were "being provoked". Rollins ought to recognize that, but he's fawning.
@NickB1967 Vidal knows what you are blissfuly ignorant of, namely something called history. It's the United States which invaded Russia in 1918 to put down the revolution. The Soviets never attacked America. Presidents have been waging perpetual war since the Cold War. Vidal, being the true patriot that he is, wants to defend the constitution from the nefarious designs of the neocons who restrict our liberty. Only the mentally defective would describe this constitutionalist as anti-American
@NickB1967 Your command of history proves defective as your leaking breast implant for brains. The US support for the Tsar gave rise to the monstrosity of Bolshevism. The Russian Revolution was led by social democrats who lost out to the Stalinists that used the invasion as a pretext for regimentation. I note that you've sidestepped my point. Far from being anti-American, Vidal wants to preserve the constitution. If you took the neocon penis out of your mouth, you might be thankful for his work
@FromAtomsMade: What nonsense. The USA did not support the Tsar, he was already gone. Lenin was a Bolshevik, and he was happy to liquidate the "useful idiot" social democrats. Sidestep your point? The Gore Vidal has always been a Soviet stooge? Ha! Now go fellate the Sandinistas. Oh, you can't anymore, they were defeated.
@NickB1967 How many times were you dropped on your head by your mother? The US invasion was in support of the monarchist side of the Russian civil war that pitched a popular uprising of Mensheviks, social democrats and others against the pro-Tsar Whites. Bolshevism grew out of the suppression of the democrats. Remove the neocon penis out of your gaping anus my sugarplum and be thankful that Gore Vidal upholds the American constitution for which the Republicans have so much contempt.
@FromAtomsMade: How much of a communist stooge are you? The Czar had already been deposed in February 1917. The Bolsheviks took power in October, and went about snuffing out every other faction after that. Intervention came after that, not before. As for the Constitution, it is you Commiecrat leftists who want to censor what you falsely call "hate" speech, or confiscate private property rights, or destroy freedom of religion, or take away the citizens' right to self defense.
@NickB1967 By which communist were you anally raped? You sound hysterical. The Bolsheviks only triumphed over the social democrats because they succeeded in rallying the country against the pro-Tsar forces who tried to restore the monarchy with the active support of the US. Had we not backed the tyranny of the Tsar moderate forces would have prevailed. I'm not a leftist. I'm a libertarian who supports Gore Vidal in defending the constitution from the attacks of ex-Leninist neocon gangsters.
@FromAtomsMade: Like hell you are a libertarian, you Communist stooge. The Tsar was out of the picture by February 1917, the Kerensky coalition government was toppled in October, then the Bolsheviks began purging everyone else. Then there was intervention in Russia. Period. End of story. From more confiscatory taxation for your welfare state to more government control over our lives, you are anything *but* a libertarian.
@NickB1967: I can prove that I'm a libertarian. If you let me squeeze you like a bunny, I promise I will part your cheeks and fill them to bursting point with my holy seed like only a libertarian can. Come hither baby, I want to violate you as I mounted your mother like a bison.
@dave4248 Look up Prescott Bush (George's grandpappi), who was a director of Union Banking Corp., a known Nazi money laundering outfit, laundered money for IG Farben (aka Bayer Pharmaceutical) when IG Farben was making Zyklon B for the Nazi. The Bush's connection to Nazi Germany has been well documented.
