Mr. Vidal is probably one of the last truly great thinkers of this century. He is far too intelligent to be popular or electible to any office. His views are considered radical and self-serving. He speaks the truth and most don't want to deal with that.
@Handiman544 He's one of the last Stalinists who still has an audience, and a ranking member of the limousine Left. He's a version of Lyndon LaRouche that's palatable to Marxists.
Not the brightest bulb on the tree (especially at this late date), but sufficiently well-lettered to convince his sycophants otherwise. I assume you've been fooled too.
Truly a great, complex, and illusive mind. I dont think we'll ever understand all that this man says. Still, he offers the most radical version of the concerns felt by the 70% of us who DONT FEEL SAFE with the current administration.
fascists are taking over. first its the terrorists then immigrants then everyone else on their way to the poorhouse. thank god im not an american. i like how pierre salinger, former jfk press secretary moved to france and said that he couldnt live in a country where gwbush could be prez
Because the right wing has done such damage invalidates the most educated well constructed arguments they come up with. They are simply wrong. The govenor of Florida Charlie Christ has admitted that the insurance companies can not be trusted to compete in order to bring down prices hence, no more tax breaks for them. Everywhere in the nation the right wings social and economic engineering efforts are in ruins. The republicans have failed and we must seize this moment to turn it to our favor.
am im the only one who thinks that vidal is a deeply depressed man, his cognitive outlook on the world is so fucking pathetic. i wonder if he could speak of anything he might like. boohoo...gore got ripped off.
To one of the finest writers I have read congratulations on your birthday. I hope you stay with us a bit longer.
You know this is not funny that a republic like this one has become so corrupt that a party like the gop could squander billions, kill hundreds of thousands, and squirm all the way to the bank. Those now in power do not care about us. Mr. Bush's approval is from ExxonMobil!
Fuck you, asshole. Gore Vidal is one of the leading public dissidents of the last forty years. He is also one of our finest writers, particularly of semi-fictitious novels about the history of the country that manage, at times, to be more accurate than historical texts. Think before you post.
Tired old crank. He's been spewing provocative ideas for years, and if you're counting - he's been wrong most of the time. It's not surprising his literary schtick is "alternative history".
Salinger was a lunatic.

Gore Vidal is a very wise man. Listen to what he says as if your life depended upon it... because it probably does.

He was attacked for saying (in 1972) that Jefferson slept with Sally Hemmings. He turns out to have been right on that...
Wrong most of the time? Give some examples, please.
